We don't have many ways to give things Elusive, and none of them are very conventional methods. So, here we are.
Acts as a cheap cycle and goes good with a
Sorcerer's Apprentice
. Compare to
Power Word: Shield
for balance.
EDIT: Note that it also specifies "character". You could give one of your minions some protection, but you can also target your hero as well.
EDIT 2: Because the people on Discord made a big hub-bub about it, I made it 2 mana instead of 1.
My finalist topic is ready, and I added myself to the main post above. Any feedback on TBP or RR would of course be greatly appreciated, plus anything else anyone would like to say about the post ^_^
With exam all done, I can focus on Finals and not kind of half-ass like I did during the last Phase. Here's some cards:
In Wow, Jani is the Loa of trash and discarded thing (like orphans), so the idea is that he will turn your "trash" disposable tokens into champions. His lore is perfect for the effect, but the only problem is that he doesn't fit with Astromancer like Quetz'lun does as well as maybe overlapping the animal (a "saurid", a kind of fantasy raptor) with Druid.
Boomsday Project: Not sure which scientific field to follow:
Physic:
Token:
Psychology: (This theme means I can reuse the Nightmare cards I planned to print last expansion)
Stage of Grief: Anger (1 mana deal 2 damage). Acceptance (1 mana restore 5 Health), Bargaining (1 mana Discover a Demon (from any class). Take damage equal to its cost.), Denial (1 mana your Dream cards cost (1) less this turn), Depression (1 mana, deal 4 damage to a random friendly minion when you discard this).
I say Quetz'lun fits the Astromancer theme better.
As promised, I will be writing flavor texts for each of the finalists.
A note about Challenge 2. Every Omega card has the Greek Omega letter in their card art, which will end up complicating things a lot, therefore I recommend you use Projects for this challenge.
The biggest problem I see is that Lifesteal didn't exist until KotFT. Prior to the Lifesteal keyword, there were only 2 Lifesteal cards in the game: Mistress of Pain and Wickerflame Burnbristle, which simply just had the Lifesteal effect (as well as Taunt and Divine Shield in the case of Burnbristle). I don't see this working.
The Poisonous keyword cannot be used on Basic cards, not to mention that Poison Weapon is basically just Envenom Weapon but better.
Claws of Attack seems a bit overpowered as a 3 mana 3/3. King's Defender is a situational 3 mana 3/3.
For what it's worth, I actually do quite like some of the ideas here. Arguably my favorite card of the whole bunch is Blade of the Empty Void. Interesting effect that would've been very useful at the time. It happens to be an utter Piloted Shredder killer.
Does the connection make sense? The Fangs of the Father is a Rogue weapon with some connection to Dragons. In WoW, the weapon has an effect that increases your agility, and grants "combo points". Combo is a mechanic, is it not? I believe it was even held by Wrathion at some point.
I've never played WoW before, so this is entirely going off of external sources.

Elusive really should be a keyword. Why Team 5?

Hey Shatter, in your submission post, all the spoilers just appear as "Put your spoiler here".

Regarding Power of the Chicken, I can't nerf it's Attack buff because the +5 Attack is supposed to be chicken flavor. But I'll cut it.

Change the artwork on Mini Repair Bot.
The artwork is already used by Upgraded Repair Bot.

I say Quetz'lun fits the Astromancer theme better.
I prefer the first scientific field for Boomsday.

To bring something else, Boomsday has an overlooked theme of positioning, whether in hand or on board.
The Boomsday Project would be the perfect expansion to make a card based on positioning if you want to do this.

So, does something like this count?
Originally made this for Hunter, but then I remembered they already have a lot of auto-include 3-Cost cards, so Warrior instead.
EDIT: Made something else. This needed to happen.

So, I finally thought of something.

I just now noticed that you can see Captain Hooktusk in the artwork.
