Hearthpwn

 The thread does not seem very active so I hope I can get some feedback. I have decided to go with Barrens and explore a little bit of different mechanics. But first of the Mercenary and ranked spell:

Tokens for hero power:

 Like Laurendor did with Goblin I wanted my mercenary to be the sixth alliance race - Worgen. The flavor of this card is that he does want to join the ranks of Winglords but does not get along well with Gryphons and because of that he embarks on a journey to the Barrens to find a mount of his liking, which I hopefuly captured. I am not sure about the balance of the tokens though (thats why the Hearthrazors art not centered properly yet.)

And now for the rest of the set:

 

In Forged in the Barrens the Harpies were realy under represented (Cause it is one of their main locations in WoW) I decided to put some cards with the Keyword inspiration of the original Windfury Harpy.

Sister Rathalon would work similary like a tradeable card - just instead of draging the card into your deck you would drag it onto minions. Once her Health reaches 0 once in your hand, she dies and gets removed from here. Windfury also means that she can attack twice from your hand each turn.

I also tried to showcase the Windriders of the Horde in the set, Not sure with them having their own Mechanic isnt overkilling the set, maybe I should cut either them or the Harpies.

And lastly there is a Caravan to complete the set:

Looking forward to read your opinions, the Core set is still being worked on, will post it later, hopefuly.

 

 

Hey there, I am grateful for making it to the finale, thanks for your votes.

Just a quick question about the 15 - post core set rotation expansion cards. Do they have to be from the same expansion, or can they be 5 for Stormwind and 5 for Barrens?

And as for my core set, was there any card in the past phases you'd like to see in?

Feedback:

Laurendor - I realy like the art manipulation you did there.  Questline is good up until the final reward, a lot of people, me included, hate the current meta and I guess just the effect could cost you some votes. Shaina seems ok, but as McF4rtson stated it is unconditional start of game, maybe you could get damaged more (12 - 15 HP). A little class only powercreep on Garrison Commander with a questline synergy in Doc-O-Bot seems fine. First Aider should either have lower stats, battlecry, or be affecting both players in my opinion. First Aid Kit looks balanced if you do not have any crazy Lifesteal card in core set, similar with Pathogen: Voidrash, which might be a bit problematic in Wild, but probably not worse than Ql Warlock. Expired Healing Potion is flavorful, maybe a bit too strong and Detox sounds more like saving a minion, not destroying it, the effect seems like a great fit when paired with tradeable.

As for the lockdown mechanic I originaly imagined that it locked a certain board slot with an aura effect there, which is probably entirely unexplored UI, but sounded cool, at least in my head. Both of your cards seem really strong, they should cost more in my opinion.
