You are severely overestimating the power of the card. It's strong, but it's not imbalanced. 

It's good against control MU's. It's absolutely dead vs aggro because of its cost.

Literally the only thing strong about it is actually the freeze minion. It's the only immediate effect that the card has. 1 Damage freeze on a random minion. The Stealth minion isn't as strong as you think.

I mean I'm not sure where the OP is going with the design/ theme of the card, since I don't know anything about DnD or other RP games, but the card itself should be fine. And honestly I doubt it'd see play.

Gate gives you 8+19 = 27 points of stats for 10 mana, with a few effects.

Muster + Hero power + Quartermaster at 10 mana gives you 3x8 + 7 = 31 points of stats, and it still isn't overpowered. You know why? Because it has no immediate effect (other than the 1/4 LJ).

Mind Control, on paper, might seem like a ridiculous card. Flawlessly removing a giant threat Legendary while playing your own. But it's actually quite trash.

Pyroblast might seem like a good finisher card to put in many mage decks. Turns out it doesn't even always see play in Freeze Mage.

Like any other high-cost card, You need to know when to play it. Because if you don't play it at the correct time, you're skipping your turn. And sometimes, in some games, there are never good times to play a 10-mana skip your turn card. Every card in every optimized deck in Hearthstone pretty much now has an immediate effect, or incredibly high value effect (when played correctly). Gate's really not that bad at all, and once again, even if such a card existed, I doubt it'd see play. 

Anyfin is the closest example out there.  It's a 10 mana spell that summons a bunch of bodies.  It's even stronger than Gate because it has all that charge.  Will it get nerfed?  I dunno.  But, like i said, it hasn't taken over the meta or anything.  It doesn't appear to be TOO strong. 

Varian definitely isn't too strong, it's not even being played. 

Deathwing isn't too strong, it's not getting played.

That's about the list.  I guess Mind control and Pyroblast.  Those get a little play, but, not much.

The thing is it's really difficult to have a 10 mana spell, it's just a dead card for so long and it prevents you from doing anything else on the turn it's played.  YOU NEED for it to be stronger than the mana curve for folks to actually use it.

Also, as cards get higher in mana cost, the stronger their effect has to be in proportion to their mana cost compared to lower mana cost cards. This is a phenomena that has been dominating Hearthstone deck-building since the dawn of time.

So pretty much, if a 10-mana card isn't absolutely bad shit insanity, it's not going to see play.

I tried to create some Basic Cards for my set. What do you guys think ? 

         

 The wording on Swordsman can't be right. The current wording gives your hero 1 PERMANENT attack including during your opponent's turn. That is broken beyond imagination.

Enhanced Revolver might be alright. It depends on the fact if you can buff weapons or no. If it is guaranteed to stay 2/4 (unless you decide to run Captain Greenskin) it is good, if not - then not.

 

Should I go with "Give your hero +1 Attack this turn" ?

Guys, where do you get your art for the cards? I'm having a hard time pinpointing the exact art I want for some cards, because of some abstract wordings (just to give an example, I made a spell named Crystallize and another one named Tremor).

Ebony Cane - I don't see why it has to be strictly worse than Fiery War axe.   I'd give it some minor ability like, "Deathrattle:  Add a Coin to your hand'

Seamstress.  I don't get the quote.  And man is that aggro.  I might make her 1/2 instead.  A little less aggro a little more chance she survives a turn.

Assassin's guild liscence.  I can't spell license.  It always looks wrong.  But, your card looks good.

Inhumation - Stricltly better than Assassination.  I don't mind with your class though.

Corporal.... Many your cards are hard to spell.. of the Watch.  - Honestly, I don't like the flavor.  Doesn't seem to match the name or art.  Maybe a 3/4 that has, 'when an enemy attacks your hero, gain a coin'  Now he's taking bribes to let attackers through, seems more flavorful to me.

Alchemist's guild.  Looks good.

 Warrior is a premier weapon class. It is designed to have THE best weapons in the game (like Mage has the best spot removal). It can't be given a Deathrattle because it is supposed to be the basic card. I might make it have 1 more attack while going face (so you sacrifice potential value for damage).

That was one of the two quotes I had in mind. I will edit the second one right below the first one and also post it here in the spoiler. The entire idea is that she promotes aggro. She has to be a 2/1 so she can be easily taken out if your opponent decides that he wants to. I could also make her a 1/1 that still deals the same 5 damage if she hits you in the face (this way she can be easily taken out by minions as well but then it becomes a sort of trap card).

• A survey once found more than 987 women occupied as seamstresses. And two needles.

 

Sorry for the cards that are hard to spell, it isn't completely my fault.

The thematic is that he is actually looting boots of the fallen enemies. I really like your idea. I wanted to make Bribe if not an actual keyword then at least a theme for a reasonable amount of cards.

The idea behind the entire Basic set is to give some okayish tools for playing Tempo, Midrange and Aggro decks. Control and Combo archetypes would require significantly more spells.

I am not certain on what card draw mechanic my class will be using (or at least have access to). I was thinking about making smth like "Smuggle" that would draw a lot of cards on discount (f.e. 3 cards for 4 mana) but have a drawback attached to it, f.e. giving your opponent The Coin. Essentially you Bribe your opponent to look the other way while you are helping yourself from your deck.

 

 Ok, I got an idea for you.  

Spell

Marked for Death

CC - 2?

Enemy minion gains, 'Each time this takes damage you draw a card'  Basically a reverse Acolyte.  Draws for you instead.  If you can get 2 hits on something it's draw 2 for 2.  You could also add 'marked for death' to things like weapons or minions.

Quote from jazzfan27 >>

Ok, take Anyfin as a great example.  It is about the correct power level.  How many mana worth of stats/abilities does it put on the baord.  If it's a OTK it's at least 30 attack.  And at least 7 health.  Probably 15 health.  Giving you something like 20+ worth of minions for 10.  And that's a balanced 10 mana card that sees some play.  (it's not like it's taken over the meta or anything)

Gate is just too strong.

This might be okay if all the minions were vanilla, But they provide constant additional value over time by their effects. It's just too much for anything to deal with reasonably. 

Quote from TheFelix87 >>

I really don't know which mana cost this spell should be at. Since the effect is pretty strong but really slow it's really hard to decide.

Except that you are most likely to send back more minions to the opponent then your own, should be at the very least 8 mana. 

All right, Phase II has now officially begun! This topic'll be left open a little longer, but you should head over to the Phase II discussion topic if you want to really start throwing ideas for your basic cards out there.

Gate's really not that bad at all, and once again, even if such a card existed, I doubt it'd see play. 

This is a horribly flawed analysis. For one thing, the Muster + Hero Power + Quartermaster uses a two card combo plus a hero power. When you combine cards, you inherently get better results than when you use one alone. 

Bashing Mind Control is just stupid. You realize it was nerfed up to 10 mana because it was too powerful when it cost a little less? It controlled the meta when cost under 10. You need to learn from these lessons. 

And you ignored my analysis completely. When you play a card, you can't get more than 2 times its mana cost plus 1 in stats without a downside. That's just basic design. And this is way over that without a downside. Not being good against certain matchups is NOT a downside, for that last time... You even acknowledged that it gives you 27 points of stats, which is 13 mana worth! How could you possibly, POSSIBLY think that 13 mana worth of stats WITHTOUT A DOWNSIDE is worth 10 mana? Plus, you say "Stealth isn't as strong as you think". Are you kidding me? Does that mean Stealth has negative value? You get 13 mana worth of stats, a stealth minion, a taunt minion, a freeze every turn, a poisoner, and THIRTEEN MANA WORTH OF STATS, and that is somehow worth 10 mana? You are crazy!

For the love of god people, use your heads....

Onaxia gives 28 stats on an empty board.  For 9.  28 stats is worth 13.5.  So you get a bonus 4.5 stats.  And NOBODY plays it.

I'll go ahead and drop the health on all the minions to 4.  So, that a flamestrike can clear.  That might allay some fears.  I agree with the other guy that it probably wouldn't see play as is, but I can see I'll get a lot of pushback if I don't nerf it some. 

I'll also add a line to make it function as a pseudo-legendary so you can't play 2 copies.  Another drawback.  (sorta, I don't think you'd run 2x anyway)

That being said, is there any reason I can't make a spell legendary?

@TheFelix87 I would say 7 or 8. It's on par with Twisting nether, and slightly better than Vanish.

@jazzfan27 As for the stat argument, really this has 27 base stats, plus 2 for 1 damage and freeze, + 1 because it has potential to happen again every turn. + poison effect on Keira, which makes the stealth ability and the health more valuable than normal, and off the basis of Blood Imp, Emperor Cobra and Maexxna, that means that Keira's ability is worth about 7 stats, and then you also have Lightwell for an additional 2 stats. plus taunt which is worth about 0.2 stats for each health your minion has, so that's 1 more point.
FOR A GRAND TOTAL OF 40 STATS FOR 10 MANA!!!

Dr. 10 anyone?

Also, the other 10 drops have some randomness about them in that you don't know what kind of value you are going to get, but with this, thats 40 GURANTEED stats! It's too strong.
