Hearthpwn

There's a typo in the title. It should be singular "Free Card Pack".

I don't think Bomb Warrior is that OP, but it's a very frustrating deck to lose against because it's uninteractive. Sometimes you draw 4 bombs in a row and you can't do anything about it. I think this nerf to Augmented Elekk would de-cancerize BW while not killing it completely, and would also preserve the essence and playability of this otherwise interesting card.

"That Ragnaros statue just threw a fireball at me! You don't believe me?! THEN WHY AM I ONE FIRE???"

(I also got 3 other legendaries)

I will definitely put her into my hot waifus folder token decks.

Value Rogue will never break the meta because of Rogue's utter lack of control tools. No taunt, no healing, only one pseudo-board clear in the form of Vanish.

Don't get me wrong, this card is very good, and this+bunny+Togwaggle's Scheme is scary. BUT it's not meta-breaking.

THE ALCHEMIST

The Alchemist is a specialist in the art of transformation, generation, and combination; including of living material. Her specialties are:

• CARD GENERATION! Be it through summoning, shuffling, or adding to hand. Small minions in particular will be focused on very often.
• HAND SYNERGY! You're an Alchemist. More ingredients means crazier experiments! Transform cards in your hand, take advantage of your hand size, or use useless cards you're holding as a resource! There will be lots of synergy with 1-Cost cards for this reason, as they are generated by the Hero Power.
• UNIVERSAL TRIBAL SYNERGIES! Alchemist has cards to synergize with any and all tribes! Be it Murlocs, Dragons, Demons, or Nightmare Amalgam -like "All" cards.
• SNOWBALLING BOARD! Be it through aggressive tribal synergies (e.g. Murlocs), board-wide buffs à la old-school Token Druid, or quick board reloading à la Odd Paladin.

STRENGTHS

• Minion swarming - The class has a lot of 1-Cost minions, and the HP generates further of them. However the class has also many other ways to summon minions.
• Value generation - Patricia loves to concoct new stuff! Like Priest and Rogue, Alchemist is a class with lots of value generation. Alchemist's way of generating value is either to generate 1-Cost cards or to generate cards from random classes (as opposed to Rogue which is only your opponent's class).
• Versatility - Like Druid, Warrior, and Rogue, Alchemist has a good variety of playstyles and can adapt to any situation during games.

WEAKNESSES

• Few direct damage - Alchemist has trouble dealing direct damage. Most of its damage will come from minions.
• Few big midrange-y minions - Alchemist has a lot of low-cost minions at her disponsal, but few high-cost minions, and the few high-cost minions she has are big effects rather than big bodies. If Alchemist wants big minions, she will have to create them herself (through buffs or card generation).

Showcased Cards

In all my cards, I will use the term "Type" to mean what is commonly called "tribe". It's the offical term!

• Challenge #1: Tortollan Elder
• Challenge #2: Natural Selection, Mutant Chameleon, Mass Extinction
• Challenge #3: Rapid Contamination

TOKENS

• PRIMORDIAL GENESIS - My Un'Goro quest is based around summoning spells. There are already very poweful summoning spells in my basic & classic sets, including one that can clear more than half of this. The reward is an infinite value giver, similar to Build-A-Beast . If Blizzard thought this was a good idea, I don't see why I can't do it.
• AMBER DROP - A Discover-summon spell that helps complete the Quest. Based on Free From Amber . Note that, despite the "Discover", you won't keep a copy in your hand.
• RAPID CONTAMINATION - A card that rewards having a full or near-full hand. Very powerful when cast with...
• BRAINS IN JARS - Another card that rewards having a full or near-full hand. Super OP with all the cards that
• PLAGUEMAKER PATRICIA - My class' DK. I wanted to try something new which is why she costs only 1. Patricia can potentially make your games super consistent and change your strategies. Every game will feel different with Patricia on board.

Lich King Challenge card

Spectral Trainee

"But Cheese! The Lich King card is supposed to highlight a weakness from your class! This highlights a strength!"

Contrary to what people believe, Lich King cards don't target a class' intrinsic weaknesses (except maybe the Rogue one) but rather forces them into a specific playstyle. Warlock must play Renolock, Hunter must play Spells, Shaman must play Murlocs, etc... My Lich King card does the same: it forces you to play a token playstyle. It is still a significant downside since the Trainess deal damage to you.

• Cairne Bloodhoof

Good

• Argent Commander
• Archmage

Either good or bad depending on circumstances

• Gadgetzan Auctioneer
• Illidan Stormrage
• Mechanical Whelp
• Missile Launcher
• The Beast

Probably good in Arena. Decent but not good enough to see play in constructed, the problem is that class cards are weighted more in discover effects, and all currently known mage 6-drops for YotD are bad :(

I clicked for the title and I'm very disappointed.

"This cute little guy is dreaming about becoming the next World Tree....awwww....."

Entrance - Now, where did I put it last time?
Normal battlecry - Not here.
Alternative one - Ah finally, here it is .
Attack - I have no time for You. Beat it.
Death - Blast'd from the past.

Some of you may be wondering where you can include this in - well, he doesn't offer a tremendous value in a control deck, but he can still cycle himself, which is nice. Combo decks could use him as replacement for Coldlight Oracles , but I think, that he can shine to some extent in Aluneth decks just because he offers you the ability to find one of your already used burn spells.

- Sticks and stones may break my bones, but...
- Good enough for me.

Explanation - Taunt is cheat. Me go face . Just imagine when you are playing a fast deck and the opponent rudely blocks your attacks with taunts. What will you do in this case? - just throw rocks at them.

"Huh, dis be a good sellin strategy. I be tryin dis" - Griftah.

Quote from CheeseEtc >>

 I want to adress phase durations for big comps. There are waaay too short. Those of us who participated in the Year Comp remember being stressed out about the extremely tight deadlines to the point that what was supposed to be fun became a chore. IIRC we had 3 weeks to do 45 cards with 9 different concepts (for 9 different classes). I felt this too during CCC#4 even though I was unemployed at the time, so I don't even imagine what it's like for someone with a job!

The number of sets/concepts we have to come up with is at least as important. I think that in the future, 2 weeks per set/concept is good. This will be especially important in the next big comp which, if it works the same way as previous ones, will be extremely heavy since this year is the biggest in terms of cards released (six full expansions with 135 cards each!). Longer phases would also mean more contestants, since many potential constestants don't enter due to lack of time.

Here's what I think would be ideal for the next class comp (provided nothing changes compared to previous ones obviously):

• 2 weeks for the initial phase
• 3 weeks for the basic set
• 3 weeks for the classic set
• 4 weeks for the 3 remaining phases, that is (UNG+KFT); (K&C+Witchwood); and (Boomsday+Rumble)

(I realize it would make the comp last 20 weeks exactly, not sure if it's nice or not to have the final poll at the end of a season)

 I probably won't participate in this but I want to echo this. There was simply too little time in previous comps for people to participate properly.

Edit: Also where my flair at
