Hearthpwn

Class: Hivelord

Hero:

Hello Hearthpwn, I'm Evillisa and this is my first contest submission, the reason being while I do love Hearthstone, Final Fantasy XIV is the MMORPG for me but with this most recent competition that's no longer an issue! Huzzah! Well let's jump right in with the Hero Power:

And here we see the classes mechanic: Focused, down to its most basic form focused means "The minion or minions in the middle. If there is exactly 1 minion, it is the focused minion. If there are two minions then they are moth focused, 3 minions means the middle one is focused and so on. Now right off the bat this hero power may seem like a worse version of Fireblast but it has more potential, it cannot hit face and it cannot hit minions not in the middle BUT under certain circumstances it can hit two minions at once making quite powerful against token classes like Paladin and Shaman. This hero power does rely a lot on enemy positioning to be effective and playing against this class you would need to think about every minion placement to make sure Ravana gets the least value out of Slaughter. Under the affects of Justicar Trueheart, Slaughter becomes Liberation dealing 1 damage to the enemy hero as well.

"Focused vision really sucks when all you can see is two Boulderfist Ogres"

This little guy has good stats for the cost but unfortunately he can only attack in one (or two) directions. Still it's not all bad, if you coin him out on turn one he can deal with any 1 drop (sans flame imp) and many 2 drops without dying. As well if there are no minions on the board (or all the minions have stealth, he can attack face. SMOrc be praised.

"Gana is hipster for Butterfly"

Another one of Ravana's mechanics is storing up damage to use at a later date, take the Moon Gana for instance, that spell power doesn't go away at end of turn, much like Dragon Consort and Fencing Coach you hold the Spell Damage until you can use it. Which unlike the similar Ogre Magi means you'll always get one empowered spell off of it, no more, no less.

"This will hurt me more than it'll hurt you"

And finally some simple but effective removal for the class. It's straightforwardness comes with a price though and Overpowering Deathwing is not an easy task. For this reason it's best to use Overpower on minions with high health and low attack such as Ysera or Malygos.

And that wraps up the preview for the Hivelord class! Before we go here's a link to Ravana's badass theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Z_3hRm7K8g
