Ive never understood why Shield Slam does not take damage from the target since it is basically an attack with your shield. Can't imagine that Blizz would ever change it thou.

Failstar posted a message on OMFG just DO IT !Posted in: General DiscussionI think the people who did this to you have indeed accomplished their goal.
Usually if someone is being less than great, I just try to reflect on the idea that I can draw my pleasure, humor, and fun from something other than being upsetting to others.
And I also look at pictures of kittens!

Man, each minion having doomguard is pretty strong indeed.

Asuryan posted a message on Rank your G&G Cards (Constructed)Posted in: Card Discussion5 - Awesome: Card is essential in an established deck or Card is at good in a lot of decks
I think your criteria are a bit off. It doesn't seem right to rank them based on how they fit into existing decks or how many decks they fit into. That system inherently favours neutral cards over class cards, for starters. Some cards are not designed to be flexible, but they really shine at their intended purpose.

Omnislash_7777 posted a message on New Card - Piloted Shredder discussionPosted in: Card DiscussionI think this is going to be a sleeper card like sludge belcher where everyone is going to be like "meh.." at first until a bunch of top players introduce it into constructed then it'll be one of those cards that's literally in every deck.

Welcome to the Hearthstone community, Galen! When I start a deck, I first get a focus as to what the STYLE of the deck is.
Is it Aggro (crazy fast, go for the face all the time), Tempo (play on curve with efficient cards), Mid-Range (build up a strong "army" around turns 5-8), Control (take it slow, take advantage of your opponents' moves), or some combination of those things? Once you have that, find cards that fit your theme.
After your first prototype of the deck is built, take it to the Casual play area and try it out for a few games. Take note of where the deck fails and where it's strong while still realizing that no deck will win EVERY match.
Here are some general mechanics/ideas that are pretty important in Hearthstone in 90% of decks you'll build, along with neutrals that facilitate that mechanic:
Card Draw Engine- Have a way to draw more cards than your turn usually allows. Loot Hoarder, Gnomish Inventor, Acolyte of Pain, Cult Master.
Sticky Minions- Minions that, even when killed, still have a presence on the board via their Deathrattles or similar means. Harvest Golem, Piloted Shredder, Sludge Belcher, Nerubian Egg, Imp Master.
Silencers- Having a way to deal with minions that have very strong abilities or deathrattles. Ironbeak Owl, Spellbreaker.
Hard Removal- Cards that can instantly get rid of other minions via their Battlecry or similar methods. Big Game Hunter, The Black Knight, Stampeding Kodo, Hemet Nesingwary.
Cards that Last- This is similar to Sticky Minions, but refers to cards that will normally last 2 or 3 turns and do some big damage. A very good source of cards for most new players with limited resources. Boulderfist Ogre, Chillwind Yeti, River Crocolisk, Silvermoon Guardian, Sunwalker.
Advantage- Cards that give an instant edge to your side of the board, usually in the form of improving other minions already out. Defender of Argus, Shattered Sun Cleric, Sunfury Protector, Enhance-o Mechano, Hobgoblin.
Look at those cards and see which ones may find a good home in your deck. Don't be discouraged by other decks loaded with Legendaries either! Yours will come in time :)
