I think most people are upset because this replaces this week's regular brawl, if this was a separate game mode then it would be better

Bomb Squad is a decent Evolve target, kill a minion then transform it into a 6 drop on turn 6 plus evolving others if you are ahead, pretty good Recombobulator target for wild too

Defias Mercenary: 0/5 For Chrissakes, Rogue's burgle mechanic has finally been settled upon, don't do this. If you really want to force another path for Rogue, make a card that's strong enough to justify it like Raptor and Peddler already has.

Arena Master - Well named for a common card. It has the basic vanilla stats and a good battlecry. May be a bit under-costed though. See Jeweled Scarab for reference. May want to make the master cost 3 mana.

 

Bound Vortex - Good card, however it could still work without the overload cost. Feels a bit weak in its current state.

 

Whoops, I guess my imgur was messed up, I fixed the pics now you should be able to see em

I removed some of the harder to balance to plan those out better, while rewording others to make more sense

Thanks for the feedback guys, I learned a bunch just now and I going to make adjustments based on feedback

Blue Brothers: I really wanted a splitting minion, like how Echoing Ooze or Wobbling Runts work but for mid game, I am probably going to raise that to 5 mana since I now realize Cairne is 6 mana and it would fit on curve with it. It also doesn't seem that unique compared to other summoning deathrattle minions, I'll call that one off until I have a better idea

Meeting Stone: I though the trade off of not attacking would be sufficient for the high variance (wisps to Deathwings) maybe set it to 5 cost minions? sure it has the highest stat variants but it should be more stable than ANY minion. I rather it be any minion, but I think I'll lay off on that one until a better idea is formed

Highmountain Tracker - I didn't realized how it would effect the other player. How about this: At the start of you turn cast Tracking? That way the effect is still felt like the original card, but if kept up too long it will discards lots of your needed cards. I'll adjust the stats too it does seem too strong statwise

Defias Merc - That one was a tricky idea, I'll probably change it so that it summons a plain 2/1 minion for each coin used. Easily removable minions

Azure Magus - I need to clarify that the MINION gets immune not anything else, Ill get on that

Bound Vortex - I need to clarify that when it takes damage and SURVIVES it goes back into your hand, get on that too

Reckless Raider - WIll clarify that to attack instead of strongest

Drunk Rider - Awww you guys don't like that? I thought Purify needed a boost... In all seriousness, I thought a high stat really weird minion would be cool to mess around with

The rest I await more feedback from... I am going to remake the ones listed

I'm trying to get into that internship for the Hearthstone design and a part of the application is to make a card. I had a couple of ideas, but I want to run it through you guys first to see what seems balanced or what seems at least fun. I would love your opinion on them, good or bad. I want to learn as much as I could.

 I once played against a guy that managed to pull Reno out 3 times using young brewmasters and I still won with my Dragon Priest deck. I might not use Reno myself but I am very happy that I no longer see too many aggro decks going around because of Reno. So I think it does what its supposed to and I really don't mind it as much as any other big play card.

I would like a section with all the joke decks however, would like to find em quickly again if I ever need a quick laugh

Didn't think that the LOE would be introduced so soon, but once again an expansion changes up Mulch and Unstable Portal chances of drawing you that sweet RNG win. I did this before with the Pre/Post GTG Unstable Portal/Much Statistics thread and I want to share my findings for LOE

TGT with percent chances
462 current minions
For any specific minion .2% chance
2 - 0 drops .4% chance
42 - 1 drops 9.1% chance
84 - 2 drops 18.2% chance
88 - 3 drops 19% chance
73 - 4 drops 15.8% chance
62 - 5 drops 13.4% chance
50 - 6 drops 10.8% chance
25 - 7 drops 5.4% chance
12 - 8 drops 2.6% chance
17 - 9 drops 3.7% chance
7 - 10+ drops 1.5% chance
Minion being played immediately at coin turn 1/turn 2 - 46.8% chance
Chance of getting a Legendary Minion 18.8% chance

Average mana cost card created by Mulch: 4.1 mana

Post LOE with percent chances (estimated with percentage difference)
496 current minions (+34 new minions)
For any specific minion .2% chance (about no change)

Minion being played immediately at coin turn 1/turn 2 - 46.3% chance (-.5% change)
Chance of getting a Legendary Minion 18.5% chance (-.3 change)
Chance of getting an LOE Minion 6.9% chance

Average mana cost card created by Mulch: 4.1 mana (about no change)

Final Thoughts

Unlike BRM with a steady curve of minions, LOE mainly focusing on early to midgame minions with a ton of 4 drops. Although 4/5 drop percentages increased, Blizz still did a good job keeping the percentages stable as they were before. Mulch is still relatively the same, so plan to use it the same as you always did. 

Feel free to add to the list or ask for other random information.

Does it wag its little sword around for the gold animation?
