    Sorry I've been inactive towards the end part of phase 1. Feedback now is a bit useless but i thought i'd at least comment on a few balance problems i saw a lot of people make in the submission thread.

     

    @LaurendorThe Plaguebringer

    • My main criticism is your Keryword. It works fine as an *expansion* keyword, but as a class one it's kinda bad. Lets look a bit at class keywords in game: Combo is a condition for an effect, Choose one is a choice between 2 effects, Outcast is a condition for an effect, Overload is the only bad one, like all shaman things in general, but it acts as a drawback to powerful effects. You get the trend? None of them are things in of themselves, but conditions for other stuff. How is infected going to work out? You'll have cards that infect minions, ok, but they all do the same thing, they won't be original. What i'm trying to say is that it's too limited, it doesn't allow for innovation. It's not the condition of something cool to happen, it IS the "cool" thing that's happening.
    • The mill cards are fine but i believe they won't be received well by the audience, mill decks are pretty hated by the community at large.

     Hey mate, thanks for your feedback. I totally understand what you mean and I thought about it before going into development of this class.  It's a fair point but i tend to disagree with it because of Freeze. Even though is not an exclusive mage keyboard is largely featured in its cards and playstyle and mechanic wise is pretty similar. I'll try my best to get the most out of it and be as creative as possible with what i got...if it doesn't work i know what to avoid in the future :P

    About the mill Cards i got a bunch of DOT ready to be shuffled into the opponent deck and a few interaction in mind with Fatigue... hopefully I will have the chances to showcase them :)

    ABOUT THE PLAGUEBRINGER

    The Plaguebringer sees diseases and infection as the ultimate weapon, working tirelessly to master new pathogens and spread systems. A Plaguebringer has no remorse at unleashing his virus on his enemies, weakening the immune systems of his foes and spreading his twisted illnesses across Azeroth. These masters of infection arts keep their companions fighting far beyond their normal capacities boosting them with injections of mutated virus while debilitating and poisoning heir enemies. Disease is a tool and the Plaguebringer is its master. 


    Margrave Stradama, Queen of the Slimes and once leader of the House of Plagues before their seat was destroyed. It was believed that Margrave Stradama was annhileted in the explosion that brought down her house. In truth the explosion transformed her into a monstrous new form of slimes and bones, driving her mad, and leaving her at the heart of the fallen House of Plagues.  A source of plagues and disease, Stradama comes to Hearthstone to serve you global-pandemic realness. 


    INFECT / INFECTED 

     Infect, is the new Keyword added with the Plaguebringer class. Fatigue and lack of energy, these are the symptoms at the base of any disease and the Plaguebringer is ready to exploit every faceclass.  Once a minion is infected, its stats will progressively drop over the course of the battle, weakening even the strongest of the warriors. 

     


    BASIC SET

    • Sludge Shot A slightly copy of Moonfire, which also boost the damage of your next Hero Power. Inexpensive card that can be quiet powerful with an array of Spell Damage minions on the board. It's a slime, slime world
    • Pathogen: Green Fire Introduced in the basic set, the Pathogens are 1-cost spells charateristic of the Plaguebringer Class. This particular card enhance a mechanic that will be showcased in the future about shuffling cards into your opponent's deck. Looking for a GM to sanitize you? 
    • Plagueland Clinician A nutty removal card to get rid of some insidious minions on the opponent board. Comes with a slightly boost to the Spell Damage and a 5/5 body that will definitely annoy your opponent. He went out to grab some mushroom and never came back. 

    TOKEN

     As per the challenge:

     

    • Stradama Is one of the ruler of Maldraxxus and leader of the House of Plagues
    • Pathogen: Green Fire ( GREEN FIRE - On 12 January 2017, lasting for a day until a hotfix was released by Blizzard, a plague involving a debuff called Burn, that increasingly damaged players over time, started in a boss area. The debuff could be passed between players of the same faction and could kill low-level players in a few seconds. It's believed that the debuff had been taken out of the boss area by a pet. During the incident Blizzard gamemasters "disinfected" players and kept the plague under control.)
    • Pathogen: Blood Plague is a Disease in WoW
    • Touch of Slime is an ability of Stradama in the Plaguefall dungeon.
    • Plagueland is an infected zone in WoW
    • Pestered Mice is a reference to the Leper Rat, companion pet in WoW. Also a link to how diseases use to spreads in the past.
    • Drain the Living is a NPC shadow ability that drain Health

    @El_Skele

    Known Fugitive is a weird concept to me , I think you should boost it and summon the bounty hunters for your opponents if anything.

    Silk Bandages should heal more, 5 minimum. Or do something else in addition to the healing effect.

    The crossbow could become damn powerful but I'm sure you are aware of it. To balance it a bit maybe I would increase its cost.

    Also the token are inconsistent at the moment.

     

     

    @Klipce

    I think your entry looks much more polished than before. I like how you removed the Sand School and even though I liked the mechanic of the hourglasses I think like this is way easier and definitely more "basic". My only suggestion would be to change the Bronze Drakonid so it cost less for each card you played LAST turn. I think it's a kind of cool mechanic and it fit the chronomancer theme. 

    @WKitsune

    I;m a bit confused about the +2 Armor to minion. I think it would be more natural to just give him + Health. Apart from that and the typo that other mentioned the cards looks fine. Power Surge I think deserve a better artwork, if is about electric type of thing you are after you can have a look at Lei Shen artwork on google which he is also linked to the Titans :)

    For my entry guys I'm thinking to change some cards as follow...I removed the all "Increase costs mechanic" as it might be too much for a basic set as suggested by some of you, what do you guys think?

    ----------->

    0-----------> 

    ----------->

    I really need a better artwork here but for the moment will do.

    I like the new versions of the cards a lot better. The only thing now that remains is the cost changing which is never seen in Basic, but I suppose if you kept it through your revisions your class increases Cost of cards a lot.

    How bad do you think is to have the Increase mechanic on a basic set? I can come up with some alternatives but I really like the flavour of it and I think is a sort of signature of the class. 

    Quote from MrBurger >>

     @Laurendor

    I'd say you went a little too much with buffing Assessing Symptoms. It's just 1 Mana more than consecration, and it gives a huge area buff and reduces enemy minions Attack. I'm still not cxovinced about balance of Slimepalooza, but all other cards look pretty balanced. Maybe Touch of Slime could deal 1 less damage, or cost 1 more, now that I think about it.

    I might change the Assessing Symptoms to +1/+1 / -1/-1. I think this should solve the problem.

    Slimepalooza I do understand your concern but to me is a weaker version than Twisting Nether considering is completely dependent from the slots available on the battlefield. Is it true that you can save your minions but most likely you won't be able to clear the board either

    Feedback time! Sorry it took me so long.

    @MasterGolos

    As said from other I would personally give some body to the monument. Maybe a 1/1 or a 1-cost Spell instead that does 2 damage to a minion. I think it would be more balanced and more useful for a new player. 

     @Mr Burger

    Ritualist Figurine could have Taunt or maybe a it could be buffed at 2/2. Considering the Stamina Potion I think you could easily fit another "draw" into your basic set. Enrage Spirit could have Lifesteal or maybe do 5 damage at least. Apart from that the class looks pretty balanced but I will definitely add another option to draw cards...maybe Liferoot could have this buff.

     

    @JeanTheMedicRat

    I'm a fan of your Hero Power and I like how it affects your gameplay from the early stage. Black Dragon Blood I think could also give +1 Health as Taunt is generally a wicker buff compared to the others. Really curious on how you are going to use in the future the spell school!

    Dragon Queen's Enforcerer it looks to me more an Initiate card but who am I to say that lol

     

    @TheNameForgotten

    Not sure about your Hero Power, I'm not against it but I'm wondering how OP could become in the future.

    Give your Hero +2 Attack until he takes damage could be more fair? In this case he got an attack, which could be boosted, but limited either against 1 minion or 1 attack from the Hero.  Maybe there is another way to word it better.

    Hungry Sword could be more strong I think as it might limit the attacks only to minions.

     

    @El_Skele

    I always liked the idea for ranged weapons. I know we can't use immune but maybe a second Keyword like "Ranged - Hero is immune while attacking a minion or a Hero with a ranged Weapon"?

     

     

    @LivingOrganism

    I really like the class, kind of echoing what other said about buffing some cards. But overall I think it's a solid entry and has a nice flavour!

     

     

    @MvonTzeskagrad

    My main concern with your class is that Auchenai are priest, shadow priest. I think you have a good chance to diversify it from a Priest class taking in consideration all different ambient and lore from Shadowland. I would personally call the class either Spiritwalker /  Spiritist / Medium so concept wise is less close to the priest  aesthetic. Spiritwalker is a WoW Prestige class aswell so you can take some Inso from there too (would be cool to see another class for example using totem

     

    @Screwjank

    Mate as I said to you I don't have any problem, our classes looks completely different and I like how you played more on the necromantic side of the Plaguebringer. My only feedback would be to mindful to don't tap too much into the Death Knight style but apart from that I think your entry is pretty solid. Wether you will change the name or not :)

     

    @McF4rtson

    Definitely like more the version at 3 mana cost. I think your class either need a spell that restore health or a lifesteal minion to recover the Health lost in armor and get and advantage from it. Can I know what's the reference to Wow? Except Silithus I mean, just curious about it :)

     @Klipce

    The class is good and honestly I like how you toned down some card so their are not too OP. I don't know how do I fell about the sand school. I understand what you are trying to do but I think for a Chronomancer you could play with a combination of Arcane and Nature Spell and base your synergies on this 2 schools.

     If I skipped someone please let me know!

    Wow, I am very sorry Laurendor. I did not realize you had essentially called dibs on The Plaguebringer class. After I went back to the first page I noticed you did in fact make a post about that. I will change the name and identity a bit of my class, but the cards will mostly stay the same.  Sorry again for the confusion

    Hey Screwjank! Please don't be sorry I actually didn't even see your entry yet! Not a problem for me and if you want to go ahead with a Plaguebringer class please do!

    Im really sorry if I didn't provide much feedback yet but has been a tough week. Thanks for your previous thoughts, I know I didn't showcased much lol  Here's my entry then I will try to come back later and give some feedback on your creations guys! Please welcome Stradama and her pandemic realness.

     

    THE PLAGUEBRINGER

    Margrave Stradama

    TOKEN

     

     

    Bit of explanation:

    As per the challenge 2 cards are directly linked to WOW but they all have some reference.

    • Specimen 13.09.2005 is related to the first pandemic in WoW and the Corrupted Blood Incident that started on the 13 of September 2005
    • Touch of Slime is an ability of Stradama in the Plaguefall dungeon.

    The Infected keywords, even though not present in the basic set works similar to Freeze. It is applicable only to minions and minions/spell will be able to Infect other minions by attacking them. Following an example from the Initiate Set

     

    I like the overall flavour of the set but more than keen to hear your feedback!

    wow you guys are way ahead lol. This is what i was thinking to work on.

    Keywords will be INFECT, need to word it properly but it works as a dot and it reduce stats of infected minions by (1) each turn.
