I've always wished that Rogue has a
board clear
and some kind of
restoration
.
With
Fel Prince Gallywix
you have both! It is up to
you
to decide which card
rarity
rules. The unworthy ones get destroyed.
All
of them.
Also, your
Hero Power
(which changes randomly each turn) will make the
poor rise
and the
rich fall
!
An absolute mess, just corrupted
Gallywix
things.

@LarryMoments - I think Core Rebooter is your weakest of the cards, falling into the "other times before" category. Which is fine, considering how you mentioned it was the other two, Device Infiltrator and Electrode Aligner, that were the real results of major brainstorming.
I think Device Infiltrator's a bit of a fringe case for this specific competition; I guess it counts as Mech synergy, in that it turns your Mech into a Ticking Abomination. ...You know, if it counts for this competition, I think this might be the best of your three, it combos SO well with the Goblin Bomb theme they tried to give Hunter. Mods, @linkblade91, thoughts?
If it's too much of a fringe case, if that doesn't count as "synergy," I think the Electrode Aligner's a good alternative. I like how it's kind of a play on Phantom Freebooter, while encouraging Rogue to do its own thing, always having a +1/+1 (or +1/+2 if you didn't swing on activation of Hero Power). Maybe you could get away with making it a 4/3? The conditional stat boost isn't too much of an upside to require reduced stats to counterbalance, and a 4/3 is already kinda fragile.

Quote from ShadowsOfSense >>~30 minutes remaining to post your submissions! So many good ideas already, hopefully we get as many people as possible vying for a finalist position.
Prepare to be even more questioning, we're extending submissions for one more hour! Only 5/9 have submitted so far, which would mean only one person would be removed via the poll. I'm hoping for at least one or two more submissions, and anyone who has submitted can touch up their submission. Additionally, even though I'm pretty sure it says we're having a 24 hour poll, it's actually gonna be 48 hours for promo reasons (damn Puzzle Lab releasing today).
(Also that should have totally read 22:00 UTC, it's meant to be one hour after the WCDC, our bad).

IF I CAN HAVE YOUR ATTENTION FOLKS
Blizzard's gonna make a troll expansion next! If you want to be hyped up for it now, this is the post for you.
Expansion No. 2 in the Year of the Gryphon
Phase 1 & 2 links here and here.
The ancestral home of the Trolls, Zandalar, is under threat. Since Cataclysm, the island has broken into three parts—Zaldazar, Nazmir, and Vol'dun—and is slowly sinking into the ocean. The Nazmir jungle, now a swamp, has been corrupted by the influence of an Old God let loose, and savage sacrifices are performed in his name as the mysterious blood plague spreads. Meanwhile, the elite in their palaces on Zuldazar do nothing, thinking they are safe on the main island. Blood of the Zandalari tells the gruesome story of these sacrifices, the plague, and those who would stop them.
—THE STORY—
G'huun Theme Music
(Click on external link for proper entrance)
(all other legendaries have theme music as well)
—G'HUUN & KEYWORDS—
(details in spoiler)
G'huun is an Old God, accidentally created by the Titans as a case study on the other Old Gods. Having realized they had created an abomination that only grew stronger as those around it died, they locked it away, hopefully to never again taint the land. Unfortunately, the Titans had not accounted for Deathwing, and as the Cataclysm tore a path through Azeroth, Zandalar was broken into pieces and the tomb that imprisoned G'huun was broken. Released into Nazmir, his power grows as he spreads his influence through the forests and corrupts the tribes...
Hold still. This won't hurt... Well it might. A lot.
Sacrifice can usually be activated the turn after you play a minion, but Rush minions (such as Sparks) can be sacrificed immediately. 0-Attack minions can also be sacrificed like other minions. You activate the Sacrifice interface by right-clicking the minion (PC) or double tapping it (mobile). The UI looks something like this:
More Sacrifice Cards:
Ugh, swamp breath.
Plague cards activate while in your hand at the start of your turn, and can have conditions for what they spread to. They transform random other cards in your hand into copies of them, and provide either a benefit or a slight disadvantage depending on how you play them.
It takes 5 of your turns to convert a full hand with 1 Plague card in it into all plague cards.
9 cards + 1 plague
8 cards + 2 plague
6 cards + 4 plague
2 cards + 8 plague
0 cards + 10 plague
More Plague Cards:
—CARDS—
The Loa
Powerful beings worshipped by different Troll tribes and empowered by their rituals.
He ate the other moon one time. Didn't taste as good as Baku described it.
ThemeHethiss is the Loa of Snakes, and fits perfectly in Rogue. He punishes aggro decks (albeit in the lategame), and provides massive board clear potential while denying your opponent damage to your hero.
Race you to the ritual sacrifice to revive a god dragonhawk monster thing!
Hakkar the Soulflayer
Hobbies include: Flaying Souls, drinking blood, annihilating foes... that's about it.
Theme
Soulflayer Cards
Too big to be swatted.
Theme
Shadra, the Venom Queen, Loa of Spiders, is the ultimate Deathrattle Shaman card. That's right, the next Deathrattle class is Shaman, with synergies that involve minions with Deathrattle, not just minions that have it in their card text.
Sacrifice, Plague, and Deathrattle Synergy
While I've already introduced these mechanics with G'huun, I'm showcasing the synergies that make them viable.
SECOND WIND!
Not only is this a good card on its own for giving a minion pseudo-windfury with an upside, it's an excellent way to activate Sacrifice. If you have a Sacrifice minion you want to attack with first, play this and then you can sacrifice it immediately when it comes to life!
Double, double toil and trouble
Fire burn and cauldron bubble
...Ribbit, Ribbit, Ribbit.
Simple fodder for Plague cards; Also allows you (in wild) to complete the Warrior quest rather quickly.
Toad:
It's an arthropod encyclopedia... in more ways than one.
Not Deathrattle minion: Minion with Deathrattle. In wild (as of Year of the Gryphon) think Primal Talismans and Spirit Echo. In this expansion, think Elortha no Shadra.
The Jungles and the Temples
These flavour cards complete the Blood of the Zandalari set—corrupted Flora, dangerous Temples, and strange ruins.
These Treants ain't no saints.
A way to activate Plague cards, especially ones like Blighted Treant.

DON'T step off this.
A repeating Mage Secret; good against decks that like to drop big minions, especially good in the late game!
More Like This
Classic ruined temples. They always use the same 3 numbers for the locks on their tombs.
You could summon three Ironfur Grizzly! However, 3-Cost is a lot more restrictive than Attack and Health, so you’ll get your mana’s worth (or even more with spell damage).

—THE REST—
Here's the rest of the cards. There are notes on synergies included below the cards in the spoilers!
Hall of Fame (for reference)
Divine Favor | Kidnapper (replaced by WANTED! ) | Gadgetzan Auctioneer
Neutral
Details for each card are in a spoiler below them.
Regularly chastises Lana'thel for eating his children. (Bloodworm if ya don’t get it)
Play: My essence flows through your veins... My servants will feast on your blood.
Attack: Do not deny me my prey, mortal.
ThemeWarrior likes this card. An opponent with a full board of undamaged minions vs your board, full of damaged minions, will be quaking in his boots.
Kill three blood monsters with one stone.As these are exact copies, if you play Blessing of Kings on one, you'll get 3 5/7s in your hand the next turn. Your opponent really needs to clear these before they get out of hand. Not to mention they're great for plague.
"What's a Voodoo Journeyman, then?"
Play: I know da Voodoo.
Attack: Ya be cursed.Don't need to wait for all that 'next turn' stuff. Just kill your minions right then and there. Even if that's a little brutal and sometimes not worth it.
Hold still. This won't hurt... Well it might. A lot.
Play: For da glory of G'huun!
Attack: Hold still, ya?
Death: Na, not me!Since the advent of the Boomsday Project, this card has a lot of potential. Sparks from cards like Spark Drill and Spark Engine are suddenly a lot more flexible as they have healing potential.
SECOND WIND!
Play: I'm lost, I'm lost!
Attack: I'll cut my way through!Not only is this a good card on its own for giving a minion pseudo-windfury with an upside, it's an excellent way to activate Sacrifice. If you have a Sacrifice minion you want to attack with first, play this and then you can sacrifice it immediately when it comes to life!
Double, double toil and trouble
Fire burn and cauldron bubble
...Ribbit, Ribbit, Ribbit.
Play: Three friendly toads!
Attack: I'll brew you!Simple fodder for Plague cards; Also allows you (in wild) to complete the Warrior quest rather quickly.

Quotes
Play: PRIDE HERALDS THE END OF YOUR WORLD. COME, MORTALS! FACE THE WRATH OF THE SOULFLAYER!
Attack: YOU CANNOT HIDE, MORTALS!
Death: I WILL YET TASTE THE BLOOD OF LIFE!
Theme
You can match against someone with the same quest, and if they play it before you and you complete it, you can then play your quest and get double the reward. Wow.
Hakkar is like the Lich King, in that he has 8 powerful tokens to offer you. However, his rewards are locked behind a quest that your opponent could complete, which is why he gives you more cards than usual and why his cards mostly come without downsides.
SOULFLAYER CARDS
TOKENS
Druid — Plague & Corruption
Is Duskfallen Aviana good now? No? Oh well.
Play: My fangs are as sharp as the stars! And I am on the hunt... for you.
Attack: I will stifle your breath!
Theme
As the flavour text implies, Bethekk could go well with Duskfallen Aviana in that your opponent is forced to use their 0 mana on a bad card,otherwise Bethekk summons a copy of the good one. But Duskfallen Aviana is still a bad card.
Fandral's ferocious flames flare forth lest future fire-druids forget.This spell does nothing when you cast it. It's sort of like Shifting Scroll because it sits in your hand doing stuff. If this hits a Druid of the Claw, you will get the 5 mana 4/6 Charge Taunt; but it will cost (6) instead. You will still have the original Forest Firelands clogging up your hand though—it takes 2 mana to get rid of it.
Ugh, swamp breath.Synergizes well with Corrupted Woods and cards like Witchwood Apple. Make your Treant army great again! (Counts as a Treant... obviously)
These Treants ain't no saints.How to synergize with Plague and Treant cards. You sacrifice tempo to fill up your hand with what is ostensibly garbage. And then you make value out of it with Blighted Treant! Sadly, I can't show any more of the Druid or Neutral sets, but I assure you they contain more Plague cards that synergize with this.
Ghost Panthers. You better believe it.
Druid doesn't get the calibre of hard transform that Mage and Shaman get, but it gets close. A 3/2 is more threatening than a 1/1 or a 0/1 Taunt, but the strength of this card lies in its versatility; Being able to either remove a threat or summon two of your own.
Hunter — Deathrattle & Sacrifice
Everyone lives. - Kimbul
Play: Death is only one part of the cycle of all life.
Attack: You are prey, and I am your doom!
Theme
Pair this with Voodoo Hunting for some crazy shenanigans. At this point I don't even know what you could do with Deathrattle Hunter, but I sure as hell know it'd be cool.
"Ping ping ping ping ping." — Voodoo ritual incantationGoblin Bomb, Goblin Bomb, + this for 12 damage! You could do it again for 24. If you have Kimbul on board and a bunch of bombs, you could potentially deal a lot more.
Good trip, bad trip.Flexible removal or buff card. The value of giving a minion its Deathrattle as a Sacrifice is that you can choose to a) attack with it and either it lives/dies and triggers deathrattle once, or b) don't attack with it and trigger its deathrattle twice. It also makes it hard for your opponent to ignore it as you have a way of activating the deathrattle on command.
Hey, just called to say I'm outside.
Play: Da hunt is on.
Attack: Surprise attack!Useful with Shot cards (Explosive Shot, Powershot, Grievous Bite). Also good with Hunter's Mark and... Nazmiri Fungus.
Be very, very quiet. We're hunting Goldshire Footmen.
TOKEN:
A high-value secret that pumps out a bit more power than Landscaping.
Mage — Sacrifice & Mana
She's got eyes for you now. And you in the past. And in the future.
Play: Your future is bleak, mortal! I have seen it...
Attack: You lack vision.
ThemeHar'koa advances a strange new Mage archetype; Mana Crystals. Har'koa is also a tempo minion that can be used on turn 6 and turn 10. If it isn't dealt with, you come up with it as an 8/10 and refresh 3 mana to do other stuff with; combo this with Voodoo Doctor on turn 10 and you'll have 3 extra mana to spare.
Classic ruined temples. They always use the same 3 numbers for the locks on their tombs.The average power level of the Attack and Health cards range from 1-5 mana. You could summon three Ironfur Grizzly!
DON'T step off of it.Your opponent has to play around this like Potion of Polymorph; Play a minion with 3 or less health. Otherwise, the secret is played again and your opponent will have to deal with it twice. Doubly punishing if they hadn't tested for it before.
'I'm not a Mech, but I know a hostile lifeform when I see one.' - Charles the Temple Golem
A good utility minion for Mage, especially as it allows for a pseudo-Nourish effect the turn after it's played.
Paladin — Buffs & Enchantments
He bites. Twice.
ThemeRezan is good for both aura buffs and one-time enchantments. It applies targeted effects twice (if a battlecry provides a buff or a debuff it gets applied twice). Raid Leader, Silver Sword, and Blessing of Kings are all good candidates.
Look, we've all seen your teeth Rezan. Maybe you should go see a dentist?Paired with a card like Blessing of Might or Rastakhan's Blessing, or paired with simple value trading, you can buff your minions considerably while maintaining board control.
Endless bureaucracy.
Play: Lemme put dat on ya file.
Attack: Down tha shredda!Blessing of Kings
Because this adds spells to your hand, and it has plague on spells, it essentially means you have the ability to play 5 mana 3/3s forever. However, 5 mana 3/3s aren't that great, so you get more value out of playing Kings. Balance it out!
In case you hadn't figured it out, the blessing is for your opponent. "I respect you enough to not attack you", y'know?
Pair with Roar of Rezan for a +6/+6 buff, or even more. Magma Rager meta!
Priest — Sacrifice & Voodoo/Deathrattle
Da Test Subjects be restless.
Play: Come and sit by da grave, adventurer.
Attack: Dawn't cross Bwonsamdi!
Death: Haha, ya not seen da last of me.
ThemeHigh value deathrattles like Cairne Bloodhoof, Swamp Dragon Egg, Mechanical Whelp and Weaponized Piñata make this a fun card to play for sustained value.
"You're going to die, but then I'm going to bring you back to life." "That's great!" "But then you're going to die again." "Oh."Set up your Sacrifice minions for the next turn. This card resurrects minions that have been granted Sacrifice as well.
'I be out of Mojo' - Bwonsamdi hero, probably
Combo Prieeeeeeest
The masks! They have minds of their own!A way to activate Shadow Word: Pain or to even reduce an enemy minion's attack so you can trade more evenly with it.
Rogue — Sacrifice, Plague, and Poison
He ate the other moon one time. Didn't taste as good as Baku described it.
Play: Ssssuccumb to the darknesss... The sssshadows will cover you.
Attack: Sssuffer, mortal!
Death: Noooo...
ThemeHethiss is an extreme punish card. He effectively acts as a wall that prevents your opponent from interacting with anything else if they want to press face damage. Additionally, being Poisonous means he will also clear your opponent's additional threats.
Don't tell Hethiss how we extrude the ichor.
Play: Plenty of poisons for ya to try.
Attack: Name a price.
Death: Dis not da right vial...Ichor Extruder is a repetitive value card like Zanchuli Councillor, in that it can cycle forever. However, there's not a lot of point in cycling a 1/1 (apart from activating combos), so the main point of using him is to get the value from these random spells—which are usually high quality.
Which blade were you thinking of using today? The fourth rib on the right side, or the left shoulder?
Play: Bones... Death... Swords...
Attack: Just throw me at them.
Trigger/Death: How about this one...Exact copy. That's right, take your Kingsbane (since rotated) and get another one. Or alternatively get your Spectral Cutlass as insurance. The idea behind Sacrifice and Deathrattle is this; your opponent can kill it and you get one copy; or you can sacrifice it and get two!
Dress code dictates gas masks are a definite NO NO.
Wild Pyromancer
A conditional board clear for Rogue! At long last, Hethiss smiles down upon us.
Shaman — Deathrattle
Too big to be swatted.
Play: There is no choice but to join us...
Attack: There is only death for you!
Death: You cannot stop me...
ThemeShadra is the ultimate long-game value card. She targets herself and everything you have. This means you get a 6/14 for 10 mana as well as a doubling up on every minion on your board. Really really good with big, high power minions.
You can get 'caught up' in the Silk Dance, if you catch my drift.
Academic Espionage got nothing on this.
Star of '21 Overload Streak' and 'Magic Lightning Strike XXL'.Imagine Lightning Storm or Lightning Bolt, or even The Silk Dance. This can provide continuing value in much the same way as Mana Tide Totem.
It's an arthropod encyclopedia... in more ways than one.
TOKEN:
Pair this with The Silk Dance to double your board size with 9/9 in stats, or even just a respectable 6/6.
Warlock — Plague, Sacrifice & Evil
Night bat, fighter of the day bat.
Play: Step forth, defilers, and meet your doom!
Attack: I will feast on your broken bones!
Death: G'huun will aid me!
ThemeHir'eek ties up your minions in an army of 4/2 minions which you can use to apply pressure in the early game. Once he dies, you get your minion back and you've had 6 stats in value.
Sure it's tainted, but it's only a couple of days out of date! One sip can't hurt.
It's like Feign Death.
They were a real sensation back in the sanguine '60s.
A versatile card that either acts as one time heal or AOE.
It's not a cult, mom.
Play: Ya got ta believe in the legion.
Attack: Ah ya got nah faith.
Trigger: I'll give mah life for it!The continuation of handbuff Warlock. Convert a Demon to a religion and then use it to convert other demons. As hand to hand keeps buffs, the demons it plagues will also be +2/+2.
Warrior — Plague, Plague, & and Plague
He can cure diseases with his sneezes.
Play: I have risen again!
Attack: Shell power!
Death: One day, you shall pay...
ThemeTorga is the antidote to a plague-heavy warrior deck. By including this in your deck, you can get all the advantages of plague card synergies and then refill your deck with your original, likely higher power, cards.
Careful! Someone's hands have been on that! Or... in it.This allows you to use plague while still maintaining your hand to some degree. Of course, you can also use this in a non-plague deck!
It's like the Holy Grail, but yucky.A half Heroic Strike Whirlwind combo with enough versatility to allow for a good finisher. 10 mana 10 damage and deal 5 to all for 5 cards, and anything in between.
Trolls rule!Dire Troll enables aggro Plague warrior; 1 mana 2/3 with the downside that all your minions end up being Dire Trolls, causing your hand to be worth a lot less in the late game.

THE GREAT WARS
Year of the Scorpion's second expansion
"In the Age of Chaos, four factions fight for dominace..."
Hall of Fame reminder
Mana Wyrm ⇆ Freezing Potion
Archmage Antonidas ⇆ Rhonin
Inner Fire ⇆ Velen's Chosen
PRESENTATION
I'm shamelessly exploiting people's nostalgia again! This expansion is, obviously, based on the three Warcraft RTSes. As in Warcraft, TGW decks will consist in gathering Resources through cards and powers and use them to build Structures. Most of the "cult" units and characters that aren't already in HS will be featured (Footman, Grunt, the freaking Dark Portal...). The expansion will feature two intertwined mechanics:
- Structures: The HS equivalent of WC1/2/3 buildings. Structures are of course be based on the actual RTS structures. Structures are dormant cards with a "structure" tribe and permanent or on-trigger than can't be played using normal mana but can only be played using...
- Resources: Resources are an alternative... resource, different from mana that is used to play structures. Unlike mana, it is non-renewable and must be acquired through special cards. Resource cards are balanced around the idea that 1 Resource ≈ 0.5 to 1 mana. Resource quantity are displayed between squared brackets [] on my cards in order to make them more readable, similar to how Costs are always displayed between parentheses.
Your current resources will be displayed this way:
Behold my mad MSpaint skillz!!!1RESOURCE GENERATORS
"Ready to work!"
STRUCTURES
Fun fact: Two WC3 buildings are already in the game : Ancient of War and Ancient of Lore.
HEROES OF THE PAST
ALL 45 CARDS OF THE EXPANSION
NEUTRAL (8)
DRUID (4)
NOTES:
- Teldrassil will be the only Structure that costs mana (and prevents you to play resource generators). Unfortunately the Wisp is already in the game and can't be Druid's resource generator!
HUNTER (4)
MAGE (4)
PALADIN (4)
PRIEST (4)
NOTES:
- Yes, I know Northsire Abbey's art is not Hs-style but it's the only one I found. It may look OP, but you don't always want to draw cards. We've all seen those Trolden videos of people accidentaly being milled by going "full Northshire" (a term that would take a brand new meaning with this card).
ROGUE (4)
SHAMAN (5)

- Ner'zhul is one of my wildcard (the other two are neutrals).

@LarryMoments
Neutral: Suit of Armor. Use Wandering Monster or Noble Sacrifice wording. Archispectre Corduroy: Rush is irrelevant. You don’t get to interact with minions at the end of your turn. If a minion is summoned for you on your opponent’s turn, you are able to attack with it when your turn starts.
The Flying Dutchman: Do you only get the weapon the first time this takes damage? When or whenever. If it’s the former, make it a battlecry “the first time this takes damage equip a weapon with Attack equal to damage taken.”
Horrifying Nightmares: Better than Corruption in most cases Good Hatpot Ghost: Not really atrong enough Wilfred Fizzlebang was terrible, and this is only average, so it could be reduce by 2 to make for the hero power cost and be a 2/4.
Divine Shield on a warlock card seems rather strange Id go for more health instead Like 5 or 6 health
Ancient Treasure seems too random and swingy Feels bad to play against this because it’s sometimes a better preparation and other times just awful. Spike Trap seems weak.
Illusionary Librarian should be a 3/3 imo. Former Self is OP. If your opponent can’t remove a big minion fully they end up sinking damage into nothing and then another big minion takes its place.Silver Mirror is too long. Why not just shuffle it into your deck? You don’t want to be copying this from your opponent’s deck.Hallways Monitor seems too complicated. Higher Health and no draw a card imo.
If the wraiths survive they transform back into Recruits? If so they must transform into 1/1s, buffs completely forgotten.
Experimental Infusion has the same problem as the rogue one. On the other hand, it is a 2 mana cycle card. Li-Quantifier should say ‘duplicate’ rather than ‘duplicated’.
Use ‘Animal Companion’ instead. Beast companion is only used on the basic card. To my Side and Call of the Wild use animal companion.
J. Creetz is really weak. You could draw the 10/10 on an empty board, or on a friendly board. I would rework it entirely.

So, a humblebrag that Shudderwock was "your" idea?
No, I just felt this could create conversation on card design, and that I didn't really know how strong something like this could be until after Shudderwock was released, and even asking if people favor this version or the Shudderwock version. Then again, the set I made this for, just about every card is stupid strong on purpose.
this card would have a larger impact on the meta because it is neutral, but card for card, i think its less disruptive then shudderwock.
Yeah, I was thinking so myself. Back then, Saronite Chain Gang wasn't even out, so I had no idea that Blizzard could potentially break this card.
Riveting. Tell us another story.
This one time, I told a bear a really short story that had no details. The end.
Quote from CarpRunner >>This card is stronger than shudderwock. Since it is minions you summoned, you could recruit minions or generate them in some other way and it would still trigger their battlecry. Imagine not needing to draw or play chain gang or lifedrinker. Just run guild recruiter and he will pull it straight out of your deck
Yeah. With this having been made before Saronite Chain Gang and Guild Recruiter, I had no idea this card could get as bad as originally thought.
When you're so narcissistic that you convince yourself you made blizzard's card.
It's not like that, though. I did release the set before Knights of the Frozen Throne. There have been cards made by people who don't work for Blizzard that Blizzard eventually releases that design or a similar one with a set. Not trying to say I'm better than Blizzard or that it's my design, but bringing to light a design that's really strong, asking if the timing of this card would have been good before Knights of the Frozen Throne was released, and also asking if the design is favored over Shudderwock. This is a discussion and a sort of funny apology.
Not really sure why this is "awful".
I love it. 10 mana cards should be strong. I just didn't think we'd get to a point where an older card becomes almost completely broken with time.
Quote from LarryMoments >>Is this wock
Also, Blizzard's version, or at least making it a class leg is fine.
No. This is dog.

On 7/23/2017, I released a set called "Azeroth Untold". When I made that set, I didn't really realize how strong some cards could be. Back when I made the set, I had come up with a number of concepts that Blizzard hadn't really released until somewhat recently, with the past 2-3 sets. A few weeks after I had released the set, Knights of the Frozen Throne had come out, and it had me worried because The Lich King would be released, and I had created a Lich Queen Sylvanas. Something that had me react strongly was really thinking about how strong the card below is. I know that a few others have probably had a similar version or the exact version of this card at least as an idea, but just now, I'm realizing I had created Shudderwock in 2017. We didn't have the cards we have now in 2017, so I'm wondering if the timing of this would have been better or worse than it is now.
Also, would you prefer this version over the current version? I'm wondering how some of my older designs would come across now when people look at them, considering it's been a few meta since they saw release.

Quote from LarryMoments >>K, so I'm doing my Ghost/Haunted House expansion "The Phantom House", copy-pasting the introduction here because idk. I've got a third of it done, and I'd like to hear what you think about it, will give feedback in return when I can.
Banshees, Ghosts and lots of Pumps, these were the perfect ingredients to make the perfect Haunted House, but the owner of it forgot about the "Nocheaur Curse", which made the his house, now called The Phantom House, creepier than ever, but where does this house hold the mysteries? Will your heart hold enough pump before it pumps itself into this manor oblivion?
Possess is a new keyword featured in this expansion. This is shown in a good amount of Neutral cards and some class cards, however not all classes are going to have this keyword.
Priest
In this heavy-weight mansion, hidden philosophy is the greatest treasure that the ancients have burdenered behind a secret passage, going downstairs, you directly face into a gigantic library, full of ancient knowledge.
In short words, to clarify, this is a MANOR/big house, White House-like size, not a simple Haunted House, so there are a lot of rooms, of course unclean to do some stuff with it, with the company of the fellow ghosts.
Archetype: Trigger when drawn cards.
Margaret Ghostner effect includes Battlecries, while in hand effects and Spells, the rest of the cards can be played normally, I may struggle to balance this one.
Shaman
You carefully open a grinding door, to find an old, of course off laboratory, it seems they made experiments in her- look! There are some dusty books around. You seem to find what happened here, a love story between a monster and another one? A bit cliche, do they really make Twilight books?
Archetype: Spell and Manipulating/Altering Effects
btw Ethereal Manor Kitty is supposed to be a Ghostly Black Cat, but since ghosts are white ethereal creatures, it looks like that. You can't really identify what colour of clothes or hair they were having before unless you find some photos of them.
Warlock
In the center of all the chaos of madness, Warlocks have the powers to enter inside the heads of their foes and make them lose their free will, with another one taking control of it, it clearly reminds of those movie scenes where the character loses control of itself, becomes clearly emotionally unstable and starts doing barbaric or sadistic things. Days before the Nocheaur curse landed, there was this man that played his Chelo everyday, the same time, at the same duration, it was charming yet creepy, however he got a deadly disease and died days after beign diagnosed, slowly, the house became Possessed by ghosts, strange, seems that this Chelo just wants to break it's own strings.
Archetype: Possess Warlock (And by main yes, a LOT of Possess cards in here)
Also I'm debating whether even using this card below, since I've got mixed thoughts, situational and difficulty of choosing the art.
And yes, just noticed Schlerenhouse Buffon "Possess" isn't bolded, I'll fix it later.
Neutral
Tokens:
Also I made 5 different tokens as "Flying Things", Archispectre Corduroy will summon one of these at random, just made a lot of tokens since I liked him that way, it gives him a bit more diversity, I mean why a single token anyways? XP
I may remove Flying Monkey or Chalice for Flying Fork and Flying Pitcher :P
Most of what we've got is positive, so I think we're almost done. Here's our first draft of our big post.
AND NOW...
A collaboration between Shatterstar1998 and Demonxz95, we present to you...
The second expansion of
Year of the Dragon
But first, a reminder of our Hall of Fame choice and new keywords:
Hall of Fame
Our choices might surprise you, but we have our reasons.
- Mindgames is a very high-rolly, very weak card that all in all just poorly designed, create a lot of frustration for either you or the opponent no matter the result and has no business being in the Classic set. Lightbomb will rotate back into Standard to replace it, with the bonus is that the card removes the need for Priest to have a board clear printed in every set and made the class impossible to play around in the Wild format.
- Alarm-o-Bot is pretty much the same exact deal. Very weak and high-rolly, and creates an awkward minion to pull from a random effect. Either it ends up being completely useless and you could've gotten anything else instead, or it high-rolls a game for you by cheating out your biggest threat. As a card to put into your deck, it just creates meme decks that fail at even being meme decks. Bone Drake will rotate into the Classic set to replace it as Dragons are a theme of our year and will improve the Dragon synergy of the sets. Speaking of Dragons though...
- Nozdormu is the final card to rotate to the Hall of Fame. It's another weak card, but it makes for some interesting moments when summoned by a random effect. Unfortunately, it's existence also produces a number of bugs that force players to skip their turns and catches unattentive and new players (the main buyer of the Classic set) off-guard. Not to worry though, because Murozond will be making an appearance in the Caverns of Time set. Nozdormu will be replaced by Chillmaw because of her Dragon synergy as well as being a high skill cap card for both the player and the opponent.
Of course, a friendly reminder that cards aren't only rotated out because of power-level reasons, look at Ice Lanceor Coldlight Oracle for instance. Similarly, Master of Disguise was nerfed even though it wasn't playable anywhere, but the nerf was necessary to open up design space. Fun fact: Animated Armor was intended to be a Neutral card, but was moved to Mage (literally the worst possible class for the card) because of pre-nerf Master of Disguise .
Keywords:
- Legacy effects can be fulfilled and activated multiple times per turn.
- Cards with Elusive and Legacy effect in the other sets will have their wording modified to include these keywords. For example:
Nightmare on the Nether takes us to the Emerald Nightmare and the Twisting Nether - an ethereal dimension of chaotic magics that connects the myriad worlds of the universe, where corruption overcomes the best of everyone and darkness lurks around every corner. No one is truly safe, even the dragonflights. Dangerous creatures like Demons, Ethereals, Voidwalkers and Nether Dragons await.
Jaina, Warbringer and Nether Guardian are two examples of the Spell Damage theme from Mage this expansion. These two minions represent a theme for Spell Damage Mage this expansion: They do more that just offer the Spell Damage. Jaina offer a solid win condition if your opponent can't clear out the board that she summoned back while Nether Guardian brings more survivability toward the infamous fragile class by being the first Mage-specific Taunt minion in the game (unless you count the Mirror Image tokens) as well as offer protection for the board when summoned back by Jaina.
Felsworn Seeker and Ascension of Dreams are examples of Elusive being a major presence in this set. Both of them offer protection for friendly minions as well as the fact that Felsworn Seeker is a sticky, hard to remove minion itself.
Not only is Elusive a major presence this expansion, they also had their very own synergy. Shroudscaler is a minion that allow Shaman to push a board of minions with Elusive to become more powerful while showcasing the Shaman-exclusive (except for one Neutral card) Elusive synergy this expansion. Mark of Ysera is another card that offer Elusive exclusively for the Dragon tribe, as well as showcasing Dragon synergy that was promised by our Year of the Dragon.
The other cards are cards that showcasing a major theme for the chosen class this expansion.
- Nightmare Lord Xavius is a powerful build around card that support minions-focus Warlock deck that prefer ability-based minions and special buffs rather than just flooding the board like Zoolock.
- Ethereal Plunderer is a powerful card that showcasing the theme of specialized cost discount for Rogue this expansion, as well as bringing back the Ethereal minions that were prominent in Rogue in past expansions. Since Combo cards are rarer to come across than spells, it was made more powerful than Sorcerer's Apprentice and Radiant Elemental.
- Priest cards in this expansion will focus on their lesser-developed class mechanics. For example: Cultist of the Void has the mechanic from Auchenai Soulpriest and Embrace the Shadow, as well as being a 1 mana 1/3 statline to hopefully improve Priest early game.
Shivarra Blademaster showcasing the disruption mechanic prevalent in the Neutral set. She is a very powerful tech card to combat the Token-heavy Story mechanic from the first expansion of our year - Once Upon A Time in Azeroth or copies of Shudderwock generated from other Battlecries.

FAQ
How does Ethereal Trader work?
Ethereal Trader will give a choice of 3 cards (like Discover or Curious Glimmerroot) from your hand, then from your opponent's hand. At the start of your opponent's next turn, they will see the "Take It" and "Leave It" options as well as the cards you chose and will decide whether or not to swap the cards. Basically two Discover interfaces and a Choose One effect, so it's really not as complicated as it might seem on first glance.
What happens to minions that reaches 0 Health from Alleria of the Void?
Minions that reach 0 Health from Alleria of the Void will stay in their owner's hands and/or decks, but will immediately die upon entering the battlefield. 0 Health minions will still activate their Battlecries and can still be used to trigger effects like Knife Juggler.
A big thanks for everyone who gave their opinion in the Discussion topic and Vilegloom for making the Year of the Dragon and the Once Upon A Time Azeroth banner.
Click here to see Once Upon a Time in Azeroth, the first expansion of the year that we showcased in the previous phase.
So, what do you think?
Should I have 1 resource generator per class (and less neutral ones) or should all the resources generator be neutral?
Sample with 1 resource generator/class
NEUTRAL
WARRIOR
Notice how the resource generator clutches the set
WARLOCK
Don't pay attention to eye of Kilrogg rarity pls, it's an old card
Sample with only neutral resource generators
NEUTRAL
WARRIOR
WARLOCK
Don't pay attention to eye of Kilrogg rarity pls, it's an old card
Which configuration is best?
I agree with Schlaunchneid in-that it ultimately comes down to the route you think is more appropriate. A Resource generator in each class eats up space, but it allows you to better define these generators and make them more pertinent to said class. On the other end, all-Neutral opens up space in each class for other cool cards, but the Neutral iterations will have to be painfully generic to make sure they're all reasonably viable. It also means that you'll see a ton of decks running the same bunch of Neutral cards, which can be a good or bad thing depending on your opinion. Makes it cheaper for people to run multiple Resource decks, but it also kills card diversity.
You could go either-way and make it work, but I personally would prefer #1 (having unique class card generators).

I woke up this morning and dude wtf
I thought the position on the page was going to be the biggest issue but it turns out people's ability to count was.

A question, as said above, we can cooperate with another person. However, how much is the limit? Or there is no limit?
Also, we must make 7 cards per expansion or 10 cards per expansion? It's kinda confusing.

Added 38 new class cards!
I tried to also submit some Neutrals but, I feel tired and next week is really tough, but... there you have!

So what's the point of beign Secret ? Well, your opponent can't know if you plan to have lots of minion or gain lots of Armor, making this quite good as a surprise ambush, however, it can't be abused either, as it starts dormant. Can work well as a surprise minion or just a 7/7 if you have the right deck, since you are also spending 4 mana onto probably nothingness. (Unless you are able to awaken it).

Hey can I borrow your Spiritgeist?Nah jk, I actually kinda like this concept, it's like Eerie Statue but actually can attack, you can still slap a Taunt on it and maybe kill something that annoys you or need to target face, which is actually a really good design, especially for Warlock.

This fits into 3 prompts:
Rare Remarks: Uses Rare keyword, only used in Fatespinner.
Tribe and Tested: Dragon that isn't for Paladin nor Priest.
Rise and Shine: Has dormant in its card text.

Probably a reason why he hits heroes most of the time.
But what is Presbyopia? (Damn i got the name right here and not in the card, noice), well, here I have an official description of what it is, just to make it clear:
Sometime in your 40s, it gets harder to see close up, but you can see things far away just fine. This is called presbyopia. In spite of the big name, it isn’t a disease. It’s a natural part of the aging process. And it’s easy to correct.
EDIT: Fixed a dot and the name, I thought it was a phobia or some sort of thing, I was wrong ;)

"Goats are the secret ingredient for the ritual to work, even Mal'Ganis thinks it's better than a turtle!"
"Not to be confused with Magician the Gatherer"
Urmakari and Kiramish both discard cards, the better they are, the better/effective their effect is. While in a discard deck you'd commonly run low-cost cards, as a last straw, or as an extra help, you can use these guys to hold on the line, they might have different effects and triggers, but they all do the right job, but at the right cost.
You run expensive cards with Urmakari to get a great healing effect and Kiramish to control the board, or else use it for discard synergy AND wiping the board. Both of them require the ingredients to work, Urmakari needs tools for his ritual to work, and Kiramish needs resources, although unstable, to these to fall and create an explosion enough to be worth the board.
