Rest (X): If this minion does not attack for X turns, it gains a certain effect (does not count the first turn where the minion cannot attack anyways.)

Side note: pls ignore my deleted post above, I was struggling witht he formatting and accidentally posted that one. Then, when i went to edit it, I accidentally posted a new comment instead of editting the old one

My idea. It works pretty good if you get shredder or something like that. Also pretty good with patient assassin or ragnoros, especially on turn one, which woud be quite op in fact. Its like the miniture warfare brawl. Any feedback?

Is this allowed? Feedbaack pls.

The Pandarians are sort of impartial, hence the art.

The keyword Impartial means that a minion is at the centre of the board (In between both player's field). Impartial minions can be used by anyone during their turn. eg: Archmage Antonidas will give Fireballs to whichever player that plays a spell during their turn. And Deathrattles that spawn minions will spawn Impartial  minions too.

Balance explanation: Since anything summoned, good or bad, will be mutually used, I think it is justified.

Rush - Of all the cheap Rogue secrets, and the one I feel like should cost almost nothing costs 3. This effect is cool I guess, its one of the few cards that uses time. This wouldn't cause me to play hastily for fear of triggering this unless I was really far behind on board. 2/10

Fair point. But I costed it at 3 mostly because of Noz. 0 mana would kill your opponent if you have Noz. Also, Windfury costs 2 mana. A secret that could do the same for your whole board should cost at least 2 more. So I attached a heavy drawback to it and bumped made it 3 mana. Might be UP, but anything cheaper might be OP, I don't really know.

Consecration costs 4 and technically Explosive Trap does the same thing for 2. Assassinate costs 5, Vaporize costs 3. Making something require a secret trigger is definitely a cost reduction. This hitting all your stuff is a mana increase, but you could easily have made this costs 2 from that. If you consider that your opponent knows exactly what the secret is, which they would as per the design rules laid out at the start, they would know that this only triggers if they play slowly, and so unless they really really had to think about a very difficult play they would likely never trigger this unintentionally, so this costing 1 is probably fine. Even if you have Nozdormu (which costs 9) and this, so a turn 10 play, 8 with an Emperor Thaurissan, ok, Noz and whatever else you have have Windfury, but if your opponent can deal with Noz they might still be able to deal with what ever other stuff you have. It also means you're playing Noz and this in your deck, which aren't going to be great all the time, pretty much only together.

I'm not sure if 1 or 2 is the right cost, but I don't think its 3 is all. I still think your card was a cool idea, but the overall execution and likelihood of the card being playable if real is not very high.

Thanks for all the votes, really glad to be in the finals.

- skillful card, cause it could wreck your opponents plan, or aquire nothing (like Loatheb)
- enables combos at least
plus in general:
- A secret, even more so when it‘s a the only one of a class, has to force interaction (otherwise you could put the effect into a spell or a battlecry like in Loatheb or Saboteur!)
- A secret should have an individual mana-cost for each class, and shouldn't be too expensive (therefore only 0 or 4 Mana would fit) --> Mad Scientist
- A secret should somehow remain a »secret« (a bad example is Competitive Spirit)
- A sole secret, like in this competition claimed, cries for a tech-role

but should it be epic cause of arena? is a 0-mana-tech-card enough without cycling? am i missing something? :)

I'll address each of your points.

- Not really all that skillful. Most of the time, it WILL wreck your opponent's plans, especially against combo decks. I can think of less situations when this will aquire nothing than I can think of ways this will wreck your opponent. It would let you stall one more turn where you can get ahead in tempo and snowball your way to victory.

- It does enable combos, making it even more dangerous and moving it more towards "broken". Theeffect is strong enough, we don't need more upsides to this card than we already have.

- This card does'nt force interaction, it disables interaction. Unless your opponent has EXACTLY the card to counter this (High cost cards that work well alone) , he would just lose all the tempo and lose the game. In fact, it could be a battlecry and would still be as broken.

- Undercosted. I agree that secrets should be 0-4 mana, but think of it this way ; Would you make a 2 mana 3/2 with battlecry: Skip your opponent's next turn when he plays a card. No right? And yes, I know that your opponent can just not play card, but that woul be no different from playing one right? I think that 3-4 mana would be more blanced to justify it.

- And finally, yes, I agree that a sole secret should see a tech role, i did the same, my card waas also very techish (and a bit broken too). But in the end, tech cards shoud be mildly balanced, somewhere I feel we both failed at.

Thanks for the advice, my submission already contains a "Shuriken" card, I was just too lazy to insert the image here again. Would a name like "Slice n' Dice" work? It's more humorous, that's for sure, but I'm not sure if it describes this card accurately enough.

Like I said, I'm not good with making names, in actual fact, I think Swift Strike is totally fine. Does'nt really matter that it is a WoW ability, Hearthstone already has a bunch of stuff that do not equate to their WoW counterparts, such as Malygos' art really being Kalecgos and Gruul not being Gruul. But if you really want to change the name, Slice n' Dice is also good.

I was confused when I saw this at first. I think a better wording should be like " Secret: If your opponent plays a card, put a Dodgeball into his battlefield. When your turn starts, deal 6 damage to the enemy hero" This way it's less confusing and it follows the wording of other HS cards like Mad Scientist, Competitive Spirit, and Steady Shot.

Wording aside, I think this card is quite cool, if you play this on turn one, and your opponen does not have a 1drop or 2 drop, you baasically force him to waste his coin. If you are against Handlock, whose game does'nt start for real until turn 4, you get free 6 damage.

Already submitted mine, but I got another idea. Any feedback on this card?

Yes, yes, I know that secrets only trigger during your opponents turn. I'm talking about stuff like Imp Gang Boss summoning an Imp or Voidcaller spawning a demon during your opponents turn.

I think something like Shuriken Toss will be okay, I'm not the best at making names. Also, I suggest that you make a seperate card for the Shuriken and add it in a spoiler in your sumbission. Good luck!

An interesting mechanic that triggers when your opponent has little time left. The best part is, since there is no indicater to tell you how much time you have left, except for the rope, your opponent will try to play as short a turn as possible in fear of the windfury. If your opponent lost the previous turn to the rope, his turn will start with a rope, instanly activating this secret, even if he plays a card. This way, no one would dare rope against a rogue. OP with Nozdormu.

Ropecoach direct counter! YAY!!!
