Anyone have a problem with including a natural keyword in the Hero Power?
A problem I see with this is that it would be extremely powerful with AoE.
That completely depends on what aoe the custom class gets. It would have to be balanced accordingly, just as warlock cards are balanced around Life Tap.

This is almost identical to the idea for my hero power. Do you mind if I still go ahead with mine? If you want me to do something different, that'll be fine.
I figured that I should check with you first to avoid any plagiarism accusations.
The more cards you add to a deck, the more inconsistent it gets. In most mtg formats, you are free to have a deck with hundreds of cards, but it is nearly always incorrect to start with anything more than the minimum of 60.
Though, i'm in a bit of a pickle. The deck is extremely difficult to pilot. Half the time, it feels completely unstoppable, and the other half it feels like absolute crap. I'd like to hear your feedback on card inclusions/exclusions. For example: Ornery Tortoise is great versus control and OTK, but unplayable against aggro, so maybe a Mass Hysteria would be more suited.
I've played upwards of 40 games, and have a 51% winrate at low wild ranks.
Think about how many bad legendary cards that exist. Imagine if most of them were good and every time you opened a pack with a legendary, you got yourself a useful card. Instead people get many useless extremely rare cards and have to exchange them in for 1/4 of what they are worth and craft something useful. So yes they are being greedy by releasing useless cards. I can spend $20 on packs and maybe get one legendary which probably won't be the one I want, and end up dusting most of the cards, then spend another $20 and the cycle keeps repeating.
You can't release 57 legendaries a year and expect them all to be playable without massive powercreep. It's an unrealistic expectation.
I rly dont understand how do guys at Lightforge rate it that high. Upside it might have, but chances r it will be an upside for your opponent. Why the hell would you take such a gamble? It simply is not worth it imho. I mean yes, there r worse legendaries you can be offered alongside it, but still.
Because you can manipulate the outcome in a way that is beneficial to you. If you don't want your opponent to have a good card, simply pick two bad/mediocre ones, then it's basically a Yeti. If you need a curve drop, chances are that one of the two choices is more useful to you and if you happen to need an answer and are desperate Griftah can provide the answer in case you're lucky. If you don't need an answer, then simply don't commit to a risky choice.
Sure, but you cannot influence, whether all three cards are good or not (once or twice, doesnt matter, twice only worsens the situation). That is my point. Why risk that scenario? And not like its that unlikely either.
And if the logic here is "pick bad cards, so your opponent cant get a good card". Why the hell do i pick Griftah for? To get a yetti and a bad card and as a bonus to have a chance to just lose the game to bad RNG? Seriously, no argument iv seen since the card got released convinced me so far that what you are getting is worth the trouble.
Even if Griftah threw a card randomly to each player, he would still be at Yeti's power level. You have a chance to instantly lose the game, but you also have a chance to instantly win the game. The two balance out. For some reason people like to remember the time they get randomly screwed by rng while forgetting the times they got exactly what they needed. Griftah is even better though, because you get to choose the random cards. The Lightforge guys basically said: Have a big board? Don't pick the board clear! You either...
a) Choose two bad cards and you get a Yeti. Cool. I don't see anyone calling Yeti terrible.
b) You're in a bad position and hail Mary for exactly card you need. Sometimes it works and there is a huge swing in your favour. Other times it doesn't and well, you probably were going to lose that game anyway.
"Getting a Yeti and a bad card" is still good. You are never going to go from winning to losing instantly unless you playing the card improperly. It rewards the skilled player who can identify which cards are better for them than the opponent.
I completely misunderstood Griftah. I thought I would get both cards discovered and my opponent would get a copy of one of the two (at random) for a net gain on my side. Instead he simply splits the two discovered cards, 1 to each player. Terrible card, especially as a legendary.
He's listed as Above Average in Heartharena, and Good in the Lightforge.
Terrible in constructed? Yes. Terrible in Arena? Not so much. A yeti with an upside is going to be worth picking every once in a while.

Well, this may not be the greatest brawl, but I'd much rather have it than Randomonium.

If we ever get this as a game mode, I'd want to have access to basic and classic cards.

The Hearthstone tournament scene has much more prize money this year than ever before. I wouldn't be too concerned.

It's odd Paladin. Doesn't exactly take a genius to put it together.

I threw this deck together at the start of Rastakhan and it's been very rewarding to play.

MCT wasn't removed for balance. It was removed because it's very unfun to play against.

It's worth noting that Shudderwock will still work in Wild due to Doppelgangster.

For some reason, I've had zero desire to play this mode. Got halfway through one run, then just conceded 'cause I didn't feel like finishing it.
If it were possible to play this offline, then I'd be very excited, but for now I'd rather play constructed.

It's a shame almost nobody remembers the legendary Pensaer.
