Vicious Scalehide + Ravenous Jackelope [Neutral 3 mana 3/2, Immune while attacking (Beast)]

 

Really nice to get a card in the final, especially since it's been so long since I've entered. I'm glad a few people like Spymaster Shaw, I figured it was a fun and reasonably skill-testing card, since you can potentially summon a big minion with it, but if you're too greedy then you run the risk of the condition never being met.

Crystallize Soul and Spirit Cleanser are definitely my favourites - they're really neat and simple, and the flavor is there. You could argue that potentially mana ramping as warlock is a bit weird, but I think it's done in a way that makes sense.

Everyone thought Ragnaros would be a terrible spy, but he just shouts 'NOTHING TO SEE HERE, INSECT!' and everyone is so scared they just pretend not to see him.

Example of the Secret created:

There is a hole in the world. A hungry whirlpool the size of kingdoms, formed by the collapse of the Well of Eternity, and the site of Deathwing’s final battle – the Maelstrom. Ravaged by endless storms, and with the Broken Isles the only landmass, it hardly seems like something to fight over. And yet… from the four corners of Azeroth and beyond, they are coming.

Cunning cultists and an intrepid naval expedition vie for control of the ocean’s bounties. Twisted nightmares and the power-crazed Nightborne fight for the Broken Isles. Meanwhile, strange glowing creatures emerge from the deep to do battle with the aquatic beasts, the serpentine Naga and the faceless servants of N’Zoth.

Will one force emerge victorious on this unlikely battleground? Or will the fury of the Maelstrom seize them all?

There’s only one way to find out… Enter the Maelstrom!

Introduction

Although I’ve only entered a handful of competitions in past, I’ve been following the custom Hearthstone community for quite a while, and I think it’s really fun and interesting the kinds of ideas people come up with on this site. I think the intersection of story and mechanics that you get in Hearthstone is really neat, so I wanted to flex my creative muscles a bit and come up with something featuring a few of my favourite WoW factions.

Each class has their own theme, loosely based around a specific faction in the struggle to win control of the Maelstrom. They've been through a lot of changes and tweaks already, but I’m sure there’s still a lot of room for improvement and things I’ve missed. I’d love to hear your thoughts, especially constructive feedback as I plan to keep tweaking this over the next few months.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Vilebrood Skitterer + A 2-mana 2/2 Beast that reads: Battlecry: If you control another Beast, gain Divine Shield.

Silverback Patriarch + Hatching Pit Snake [3mana-1/4-Beast] Has Poisonous while damaged.

Stubborn Gastropod + 4 mana taunt 1/5 whenever this minion takes damage deal 1 damage to a random enemy (see below if curious).

Blizzard never really developed the Worgen theme of Witchwood. Pretty simple, but I think it can result in some interesting shenanigans.

Pretty simple: It's a TB where you can only use Legendary cards. You're not restricted to those in your collection (hence the rental part) and non-minion ones are fair game, so feel free to go ham.

The flavor is that it's a Rastakhan's Rumble pre-show bout or dark match.
