    Hearthstone fanbase obsession with tilting tech cards issomething I never really understand? Shipwrecked Buccaneer?Seriously? All other cards in the top 10 are way better flavour wise than that card.

     Thanks

     Trying to be sarcastic get you no where my friend. Almost eveyrone would run a 3 mana 3/2 and give a flare in your hand :just to draw an extra card and hopefully cash in on breaking the secrets.

     I was actually just trying to state I'd read your comment without going into further detail, but now I will.

    You might be right that it could be a card a lot of decks would use, I'm not arguing with that. I made this card, I'd estimate 2 years ago(?), and thought it would fit great for this competition. It has nothing to do with hunters being strong right, so actually not ment as a tech card, but merely created for flavour. You've clearly just seen yourself mad at the card (or the person?) for some reason, if you can't see the flavour. I'd argue there are better cards than mine, but flavourwise, there's definitely not 10 cards better than this. Not sorry if that sounded arrogant.

    Where is the difference between a simple design and a bland one. I'm one of the people, that liked your "Spirit Cleanser", since it wasn't complicated and very flavourful. I remember how in a past WCDC (dedicated to poisonous minions) Shadow made a 0 mana 0/2 Poison Ivy and it also attracted many people's attention thx to its simple design. I'm asking because I would like to know what to consider, when I design similar cards.

    I'm not sure I can correctly explain it myself, it's mostly intuitive, from a bit of introspection I'd say the difference between bland and simple-but-effective (SBE) is:

    • SBE has awesome flavor to complement the effect
    • SBE has a strategical utility and can bring new archetypes to the game, or reinforce existing but bad ones
    • SBE features a mechanic that is generally appreciated by players, or that they would like to see more
    • SBE has good art.

    I think this is pretty much on point. Especially the first two seem to be the case. Just Imagine a card like Nesting Roc (not the best example, but it's what I can think of now). If it said "Battlecry: If you hold at least two spells, gain Taunt." - It's easier to accomplish (maybe?), but lacks every bit of flavour. I really think falvour gets you far.

    Oh and Kovachut, I couldn't help but give you a vote, mainly because of the "flavour text" :D

    Works on both The Coin and Counterfeit Coin . It's from MSoG, so it's a wild card, and that means there should be quite a few Coin generators there.

    Old idea of mine. Not sure if it's a tad too weak having to spend Coins in order to get the copies. Note that it's a wild card, so coins should be available.
