Well, still a miracle i got to the finals. All entries were really good. Btw, why can't we see the poll results?

Hey McF4rtson, don't forget to create a post on the front page as well!

Ok I may have procrastinated and wasted the three day extension...

I am going full tilt trying to fill in those 15 cards. Here's what I have so far:

Is anything completely broken beyond belief? If it somewhat passable, it goes, at this point. I only have 3 hours to make 7 more cards.

 Everything looks fine, if not a bit weak here and there. Kelisera is kinda bad. Predicatble counter spell OR you just shuffle a minion. Batrlecries would still happen i think so this may help control decks actually  giving them back reno or nzoth. 

Well that only took an hour D:

I really hope there aren't any mistakes, cause it's 1 am for me. If there are, please extend the deadline by a few hours so i can correct them when i wake up. I'm gonna go sleep now, good luck to everyone!

Basic Set

Tokens

Do we have to include all the cards from previous phases as well? (Like in your example pages, with a spoiler for each set)

Or just the cards from this phase +3 from previous ones for the showcase?

 Good thing i asked, else i'd have been disqualified for not posting in time lol

We still have around 24 hours left right?

As I thought, Uncorrupt is too hard to work with. Though I don't think it's anymore complicated as a keyword compared to "Corrupt Again". It'd have to be a very divergent tech card at the very least, but probably not worth exploring that design space.

Summoned Security is either best left at 4/4 or 3/4. It should be well-statted due to the precedent of Swamp King Dred, which saw no play.

Poisonous is part of Sanitation Professional's design. It's either threatening opposing minions, or forcing your opponent to trade inefficiently to preserve their board.

 Swamp king didn't have lifesteal tho. And i suggest removing Poisonous from Sanitation Professional mostly due to card text space. Feels very clogged. You had to reduce text size by a lot to fit within 4 lines and it's noticeable.

Quote from MvonTzeskagrad >>

 Plague Furnace is suppoused to be able to buff itself or just another minion? In terms or balance I am gonna guess so far another random minion, but I'd like to be explained tho.

 As it's written it can buff itself, but i suppose it might be a bit unbalanced. changing "a" to "another" would fix it.

 Some feedback for McF4rtson:

• Summoned Security is a bit too beefy
• Sanitation Professional should lose Poisonous. Also, it's not very clear who loses the health, your hero or the minion.
• Uncorrupt is a bad idea. Firstly, it's a new keyword. If you can make one then we should be allowed to as well. Second, Uncorrupt kinda goes against the themes of Darkmoon fair. Corrupted cards are supposed to reveal their real nature, their true eldritch power, to become stronger. The art shows that everything is an old god monster in disguise as normal fair decor. You could use Circus Medic as an example if you want to go down the path of "corrupting this is not always a good idea".

Changes:

• Exploring alternative options for the second legendary
• Made an edit on the art of Warp Star to better fit the effect
• Reworked Weeping Blades into Whirl of Blades (for balance comparison: Evryfin is Awesome)
• Reworked Imprisoned Verminlord (again) to be more interesting.
• Replaced Poison Distiller with Plague Furnace

I feel like Thanquol feels too frustrating to play against and swings too hard when played. The Prime shuffle also makes it possible to get the avatar away earlier than it's supposed to. So here are some alternatives:

Version 1:

Fairly simple in concept, the enemy either wastes 5 mana or slowly loses health as they draw cards.

I like this version more so i am including it again, but smaller. While the total damage does rank up to a big 15, keep in mind it's over the course of the game. The last plague will be as strong as a bomb from all those warrior cards.

Now this i think may be the best one. 5 unique plagues that all are very strong and disrupting but come in a random order at random times. They range from giving you free tokens, to mass dispelling the enemy board or even making them discard a card. Yes, this last one will be controversial, but i think it's ok though. It is a very delayed effect, perhaps happening at the end of the game. But if people really don't like it i'll change it.

 My cards so far:

Legendaries:

Tokens:

Epics:

Rares:

Thanks everyone for your feedback ! I've reworked some cards, made new ones and confided with Mvon to get our common cards made. Her goes !

As some people pointed out, Omen didn't make much sense for Paladin and that Andrik didn't feel like a Seer card. I hope it's a better combination of the two classes.

This is the set of cards the Seer and the Traveler share. We are still workshopping the flavor but we're quite happy with the blend of mechanics.

A few new cards and a tweak to Divination Major's stats. I'm pushing the core identity of the Seer while having a tone of fun with the flavor of SA. I'm really glade that I chose this expansion !

Other cards I didn't change:

Only 5 more cards to finish the set ! Right now I need some rest but why not getting feedback in the meantime ?

 

•  Detention is too strong now lol. It's a straight up better Freezing Trap. Not only it costs less, but it also denies the enemy a draw.
• Coach Andrik is a cool way to get a pay off from playing Omen cards, something you really needed.
• Protection Sphere is a cheaper Sap in 90% of the cases. Enemy plays a minion, you yeet it back to their hand for 1 less mana than rogues do. It also comes with an added benefit, of maybe returning stuff to your hand too if you want to. It really should cost at least 2, it's way too much of a power creep at 1.
• Alagalon is really cool, but the Omen on it feels kinda out of place. Not really contributing to his effect.
• Educated Welp needs a keyword, probably battlecry. Also it's spelled 'wHelp', not 'welp' (Whelp)
• Divination Major feels a bit too strong still. Compare her to Onyx Spellscribe. That is has 3 more health for the same cost, but adds 2 random cards. A card drawn from your deck always has higher value than a randomly generated card, so in my opinion the Major should only draw 2 cards. Loses 3 hp compared to the dragon, but draws you cards from the deck instead of randomly generating some.

 

 

I honestly think I like the first version of the Legendary the best. The second one is way too swingy with different types of effect that it can lose / win the game on the spot.

 Skyre Knowledge is way too weak compare to the other options, given that you have to pay 4 mana for it. I would make it adding 5 Shards to your hand.

Skuba Skaven is way to strong compare to Stitched Tracker or Shadow Visions. I think it should be 3 mana

 

 Thanks for the feedback!

• Well, guess spending 40 min creating 5 plagues was a waste of time xD. Everyone likes Skrolk version 1 most.
• I kinda wanted to have a cycle of 3s in The Great Clans cards. 5 whole Warpstone Shards is a lot, would be the best generator out there. All other ones give 1 or 2. I think i might rework the card a bit instead.
• I agree Scuba-Skaven is a bit op. Stitched Tracker and Shadow Visions add copies while Scuba Skaven draws the card. It also draws on a deathrattle, so it's delayed. A more appropriate comparison would be with Cleric of Scales and Loot Hoarder. I think i'll make him a 2/1, so it's in line with Loot Hoarder and Dead Ringer. Only drawing minions and being a Rare i think justifies it remaining at 2 mana.
• Skuba Skaven is actually a better pun, so thanks for the typo lol.

Could we perhaps delay the deadline by a few days? It seems everyone is taking it very slow this round, some even might drop out. Since it's the final phase and we have to make more cards than usual, more time seems appropiate, right? 

Sure I can do that. Let's say another 3 days?

 I'm perfectly fine with it, though i'm more finished than the others. If no one wants a longer delay, i think 3 days is good.

I'm testing new ideas to replace Thanquol and Weeping Blades. Exploring different versions of skaven plagues, which one do you think it's the best?

I might change the flavor of some cards to be Pestilens themed later today if this is received well. I feel like the infinite value of Thanquol will be badly received by the voters.
