Tokens

Blood of The Ancient One, Shadowform.

Shouting Match gets my vote. It's flexible and interesting. I can see running this, but only as a twinspell for the value. Neat how twinspell makes otherwise weak concepts feel worth a card slot.

Sylvanas Scheme seems busted. With Goblin Bombs, that's a really simple OTK with little interaction, high roll dependent (did you draw it early?)

*shrugs* I've seen busted cards win before; I went for the flavor first-and-foremost. The simple solution is to not print Goblin Bomb lel

I think shadow or light is the most creative card - i think it should be 1 mana though.

Shouting match is a very interesting design but it's too strong in face warrior without any restrictions. It should target only friendly minions imo. 

Both the schemes are fair and balanced. The Hunter one is more interesting and gets my overall vote. Coin Flip is disgustingly overpowered (it's a free +8/+8 to Edwin for 0 mana, even on the same turn). The rest just seem too bad.

• Blood Ritual is so busted with Preparation.

 I'm not so convinced. Its 4 cards to create a 30/30. Priest already has similar shenanigans available, but no one plays it. Those 4 cards in your deck could be individual, high cost minions, each one presenting it's own threat. If my opponent spent 4 cards to create a 30/30, then I polymorph, hex, deadly shot, siphon soul, assassinate or w/e, I'd consider it a good deal.

Coin Flip - Zero Mana give your Edwin VanCleef +8/+8.

I dont like blood ritual that much because I feel like it is easier to cheat out minions rather than spells.

and I dont like sylvanas' scheme because there are sooo many deathrattles you can abuse with this. when something can potentially trigger 20 times, it should not be able to do damage to face, because then it is a one card OTK, and this can be used to go face. 

also impending doom can become OP if you are running 2 of them. you play one and it does nothing, then you have 3 more board clears ready.

I voted for shouting match, because I like the felxability and flavor

"Coin Flip" is busted. You get 4 combo activators in one card and can even store excees mana for later turns. A more interesting design (and fitting to the flavor) would have been "50% to add a coin to your hand".

can someone explain for me how Impending Doom works exactly, please?

So in other words, Edwin is disgustingly overpowered?

 The first time you play the spell, nothing happens. The second, third, and fourth time you play the card (Twinspell, other copy, other Twinspell), you have a cheaper Twisting Nether.

 ahhh, I just read it differently, think the wording should be slightly altered, I read it as "before this game" and i was confused as to how that would make any sense checking if you played the card in a previous game :facepalm:
