There's a current fad of trying to make Priest standard-viable, so I figured I put my two cents into the pool of concepts. I would be honored to know what you think of my ideas. Whether it's harsh or praise, it doesn't matter. Lay it all out. Thanks for reading!

And a random Neutral card that could be interesting, uses a Justicar Trueheart effect, but it doesn't "refresh"  the hero power, but provides the buff instead (It is a Passive, so the effect goes away when it dies/silenced).

Ah, good ol' Malfurion. Herald, Protector, Teacher, and Leader of the Wilds and of all that is Druidism. Oh, but how far he has fallen in Hearthstone these days.

Tl;dr:

It's not a matter that the Druid class isn't viable. Nowadays, the viable Druid archetypes tend to be Midrange Druid and most recently the new Fast/Aggro Druid. As an avid Druid player, I've always believed Druid is a very strong class. However lately, I've been so bored of this class as a whole? But why? I love to play as a Druid/

There's all kinds of diverse Druid decks like: Mill, Token, Ramp, Wailing, Astral (wait, what), some weird form of Malygod, Mech (almost will never be a thing). However, none of that truly matters in the face of Force of Nature and Savage Roar combo.

To sound like a broken record, as the fact of the matter has been repeated endlessly: FoN + SR is unhealthy for Druid and restricts too much design space as is. Some people make excuses saying 14 damage is not that bad. Oh, it's not that 'powerful' because you can stop the Druid by putting up Taunt like Sludge Belcher or heal out of range. Although, these people need to realize there's a serious problem with it. There's something fundamental about it that needs to change. To keep up as a Druid, your very deck is pigeonholed into adding Force of Nature and Savage Roar. Otherwise, you lose. (Kinda like how Rogue requires cards to be any good, but that's a different matter)

The other player are always forced into playing a certain playstyle that they have to defend, heal, and overall play a protective style to prevent you from reaching that scary 14 Health lethal. The feeling of playing against Midrange Druid just feels unfun like Patron Warrior but that's another issue entirely. Subjectively, it doesn't feel satisfying for me to win with FoN + SR combo as a Druid. It felt more fun to win as a Token Druid without Force of Nature. Or to win an attrition battle versus a Control deck with Ramp. Where's the satisfaction like that now?

So what if this happened?

A strong Control option for Druids that is great for available Token and Ramp Druid decks. Perhaps, even future Treant deck types if Blizzard decides it to be a thing. And at (8) Mana, FoN + SR aligns with Druid's supposed removal philosophy of taking more than one card to regain Tempo. 12 damage removal instead. So how much does a little thing like changing Force of Nature do?

Honestly, probably not too much. What it really means is that Druid is a weaker class overall. They no longer have a sudden finisher from no cards on the battlefield. However, I think that's good for Druid as a whole. They will no longer be a linear class forcing to build a deck with FoN and SR as its win condition. Hearthstone being a tempo-oriented game, should always and forever be like that. A game you earn your victory through trades, attrition, aggression, decision-making, adaptability from RNG and fun. There is nothing fun about losing a game from 30 Health in one turn from no cards on the field.

So what about Savage Roar? Is it ok? Yes, to a degree. It is either too strong or too weak. Hence it being terribly designed in my opinion. Does it need a change? Perhaps. But changing something like its Mana Cost to (4) or (5) will make it unplayable. I don't personally think Savage Roar is a problem at the moment. It's usually a dead or desperation card and requires cards to be useful. However, I never really know what to think about it. It is a very tilted card. It always feels like it belongs at (4) Mana. There's always that feeling, that something about it that restricts some design space ideas as well.

I've been thinking and it could be something like this too:

or

But honestly, Savage Roar could just stay the way it is. It is thematic and the alternation between weak and strong is also somewhat in-line with Druid.

Thank you for reading my thoughts, feel free to lay down the critique. Thus, rants aside, here are some fun, serious, or solid Druid card concepts I thought about if the Force of Nature + Savage Roar change were to be made. (being strictly only Druids of (something) and Ancients of (something) because I love the Druids and Ancients cards). Choose One is also my favorite mechanic in the game.

It could've been anything else besides the Druids and Ancients, but I like the exquisite flavor of them above all else:

Are you feeling down because you discarded Mal'Ganis or Lord Jaraxxus when you played Doomguard or Soulfire? No problem! We can at least remedy the situation by giving you MORE card advantage! Replace your dirty Succubus and play more Fel Reavers and Piloted Shredders from the ashes of your fallen cards. ;)

Auchenai Soulpriest.

Basically, Mistress of Pain heals you then Auchenai converts the heal into damage. But since Mistress of Pain "healed" aka damaged you, it will go into an "infinite loop" of heal, damage, heal, etc. Until the game decides you're dead.

Welcome to Pirates vs Ninjas! An expansion full of deception, Stealth, weapons, loot, evil intentions, Trolls, Elves, Worgen, Pandaren, Murlocs, Naga, chaos and most importantly FUN! :D

Before you can be a Ninja Slayer or a Pirate Assassin, you must first know the tools of war that you will be using to combat your foul opponent in a merciless battle of attrition and deceit.

 For Pirates, their greed knows no bounds. When they raid the enemy, they take any and all Loot they can find. As a Pirate, the more Loot the better. Raid the enemy, make them walk the plank, and laugh heartily. Cast away at your enemy and steadily blast them down with sheer power! Jeer in jolly fun with the power of Loot:

For Ninjas, they're truly the master of trickery. They can fool even the most worthiest of foes and destroy them masterfully. Aim to detriment your enemies with Seals! Skillfully impair them and force them into woeful confusion and distortion. Careful, your foes can cast them away with Mana! Take advantage of Seals while you can!

Now, maties, lasses, shinobis and kunoichis alike feast your eyes on the Class cards!

Welcome once more! I've made yet again another class! This time featuring the infamous Naga Sea Witch, Lady Vashj.

If I were to describe this class, it would be a mixture of Rogue, Mage, Warlock, and a little Hunter/Druid. This class is VERY focused on Lady Vashj and her bow/weapons. The Durability of her weapon is always an important thing to consider because it factors into almost everything she does to win and defeat her enemies.

In fact, she's so selfish that her minions give her the ability to take things in her hands with interchangeable Hero Powers built into her minions. You will find Naga as well as even Illidan's Demons roaming these waters. These minions can give her a whole arsenal of abilities to peruse from specializing her weapon to healing to damage. Some minions even synergize with destroying your weapon! Check out more below!

Note: Minions that have a "Your Hero Power becomes..." without Battlecry, means it stays as your Hero Power for as long as the minion stays on the battlefield. It automatically reverts your Hero Power back to the original Hero Power - Archery Expertise when it dies.

Anyway, enjoy reading my Enchanter class!

Another class! A whole class dedicated to Secrets and more! I'm ALL about exploring new concepts. So I hope you'll like this one. This time featuring the former aide of the Dark Lady and infamous Dreadlord, Varimathras.

If I were to describe this class, it would be a mixture of Warlock with power in drawback and his plethora of Demons. Paladin in minion-related Secrets. Mage with trickery and crippling, powerful Spells. It is very heavy in Demon-related cards and he even has Undead minions and their powerful Deathrattles from the forces of the Forsaken to serve under him.

This concept has many different types of Hearthstone mechanics that are either underutilized or I believe have never been done before. This class uses a Keyword that hasn't been used in the entire game except for one card: Counterspell, Counter. It also has a different playstyle of drawing from the bottom of your deck and creating a newfound strategy that you can take advantage of.

The class also uses two different ways of activating Secrets. One type of Secret happens at the end of your opponent's turn no matter what. This type of Secret will punish your opponent if he didn't do a perform a specific action on his turn. The other is... MINION SECRETS! Wait, what? Yes, that's right!

IMPORTANT!: The Minion Secret CANNOT be interacted with in terms of Attacking or being Attacked. It cannot be targeted by Buffs like Taunt, Spells, Hero Powers, Battlecries, etc. However, because it's a minion it can still be damaged. It will die from AoE if it dies from it. Once the prerequisite conditions are met, it becomes a regular minion afterwards. And yes it can be taken by Kezan Mystic lol. It is essentially a minion and a Secret in one.

Note: Minions that have a "Your Hero Power becomes..." without Battlecry, means it stays as your Hero Power for as long as the minion stays on the battlefield. It automatically reverts your Hero Power back to the original Hero Power - Cunning Scheme when it dies.

Anyway, enjoy reading my Deceiver class!

Hunter Secret. In truth, I wanted to make a Warlock Secret. However, I want to stay consistent with the game. I wanted to make Secrets with heroes that already have established themselves with Secrets. I feel that Hunter is lacking some new Secrets so here's my idea. :)

For Shivarra Matron, you could say "Deal its Attack randomly split among enemies when attacking." for a more simpler-looking card.

I love the Ritual of Doom, it's very reminiscent of WoW. Also, you should put "Destroy 3 random friendly minions. Summon a Doomguard." Your wording implies you can choose what minions you want to destroy. Triple-targeting does not exist in Hearthstone.

I like the concept of Void Lord. It also has synergy with Deathrattle decks too. Although, once again you can shrink the wording as well. You could say "Deathrattle: If you don't control a Voidlord, put two copies of it into your hand."

Flesh From Bone is underpowered I feel at its current cost. I think it should be at most (3) Mana. It could even be lower, probably for (2) Mana even. I think of it as a spread out Savage Roar among only Demons.

First off, you have to have other Demons on the field. You also need to destroy a friendly Demon too! Which could be quite huge. But I can see the synergy with Power Overwhelming, which makes it quite good. So perhaps (3) Mana is where it should stand.

Tothrezim Collector is a weird card. I'll admit. It's very good for the player with the Coin though. I'm not too sure if it is any good though. I think you could make him a 3/2 though. Also again you can shrink the wording A LOT. Like this, "Stealth. Battlecry: Counter the next spell casted and summon an Infernal Contraption for that player."

The cards you propose are good. I really like Druid of the Talon. Spell damage has been underused in Druid, when the class has all these big damage spells that don't see play past rank 20.

I'm worried about Snowblind Windcaller and Arrakoa Spiritualist though. Druid has always had these options to ramp and push tempo. I already have Nightmares of 2x Innervate Fel Reaver on turn 1 (F*** the Asia Server). You really don't need to give them even more, especially ramp + body cards. Darnassus Aspirant is already an MVP in one of the current Top 3 decks. 

The only limit here is that you can only put maybe 10 of these in your deck before you no longer reliably have something to ramp into.

As for your combo rant... Meh. I get that it's slightly better than some other 2-card finishers. But the game needs finisher spells, otherwise every game ends in a boring top-deck slogfest. I'd rather be bursted down from 14 health in round 9 than spend 10 minutes of play taunt - remove - play taunt - remove. If someone is winning, let him win the game, so we can both move on to the next game. 14 health and no taunt on turn 9 against a guy with a full hand simply shouldn't be a safe position, no matter the class.

You can't use Abusive Sergeant on Aggamaggan because if you draw him he automatically attacks, and I think that's his only attack that turn, so he'll be zzz-ing till next turn. This way if you don't draw him, he's awful, and if you draw him, he's likely dead and/or very random. If you look at Flame Leviathan, it does something when drawn that's kinda good, and is pretty decent on it's own. Maybe if you draw Agga, he summons a Child of Agga that's like a 3/2 with Charge and has to attack. Then you can make his body less terrible, like a 6/5 with Charge maybe, so he's worth the legendary rarity and has useful effects both played and drawn.

Nice reworks on the annoying combo cards, I agree with you and Noxious in that it restricts design space. 

Loving the choose ones, but Ancient of Tranquility is a bit scary with the turn skip.  Not sure if that would be any good if you're almost dead, since you have 4, 6 or 8 left, considering Innervates. After that, you lose a whole turn, that's pretty tough in this game. And if you look at Tree of Life, it's drawback is that it's very expensive AND heals everything, including your opponent and maybe his 7/1 Dr. Balanced. Making the full heal option less punishing would be an acceptable buff to the card.

My favs are Ancient of Wonders (tho the wording on the second option is a bit weird), Ancient of Ember, insanely cool and Aggamaggan. Agga could have more health tho. He's a legendary, so getting summoned on draw isn't that bad even if he's huge. Maybe make him 2/6 so he doesn't die early game. Or add something like "summon this as a 2/4 when drawn", that would make it viable when played and when it jumps out of your hand. :>

Keep up the good work! 

Quote from firekindle >>

Nice collection of 100% unplayable creatures.

Also your pseudo game design babble is wrong. FON+Savage Roar does not " restrict design space ", it's the only thing that makes druid competitive at the moment. Your nerf + your 25 terrible new cards would be the death strike to the class. Good job.

If FONroar wasn't this stupid, druid could have more things that make it viable in constructed. You're kinda making a point for OP by saying the combo is the only thing why druid works. That's exactly the problem.

Try not to be such a nasty peon in the future, mmk? :p

Great work on the cards, really love some of the concepts. Apart from most being really solid creatures, these ones stood out the most to me:

Grove Protector - Now that's a great quality 1-drop, just lovely.

Snowblind Windcaller - I love the concept of Druid ramp incorporated with an Inspire mechanic, really cool idea. Might be a little strong though as this creature basically makes your Hero Power "free" in a sense where you can keep playing creatures on curve while also sacrificing nothing to squeeze in a Hero Power.

Arakkoa Spiritualist - Another fantastic idea, simply love it. I'd only reduce its health by 1 so that as a joust card it at least has a downside to it, since joust implies risk vs reward. Here you get away with a solid vanilla stats even if you lose so the drawback isn't present.

Once again, well done, those are some really nice cards!

I like these alot. I also wish druid was more about playing solid creatures then setting up FON combo. I don't like making FON decks.

I love the time and effort that you put into these cards. Nothing is too overpowered, it keeps the current theme of the Druid. A lot of versatility/utility while playing off of the lore. Very excellent. Very creature heavy though, using the minions to bridge across different effects. I wouldn't have minded seeing a couple more spells. Keep up the great work!

Wow man, you spent some time on this. Nicely done, this hero feels extremely high-risk high-reward.
