Wait, is this a battlecry effect or a deathrattle effect? You'd think a battlecry, as all the other Choose One cards are, but then if this minion is summoned then would it get a deathrattle at all?

If you look at the card in greater detail, as you can see by following the link to Sindragosa on the home page, it turns out the tokens are actually called "Frozen Champions". But... This dragon summons two frozen "Champions". The keyword is bolded, so it would seem to be an actual effect, not a card name. Are the champions frozen, does the dragon spawn frozen champions, or are the frozen champions frozen? You'd think Blizzard of all people would know how this whole ice deal works by now...

Side note, is it just me, or have the requirements for championing gone downhill seriously? I remember a time when a champion might be a 6/6, yet now apparently a 0/1 will suffice.

God is dead. Bearshark exists.

Tokens:  

For a legendary its pretty anti-climactic, sure, and there's no garuantee you'll even summon the right totem. That said, who wouldn't want to summon a chess piece? No one is who.

Boom

Wow, I havnt seen this much math since warriors tried to figure out whether their whirlwind-grim patron-frothing beserker would kill my face (it would. Every time)

Hey, blizzards not doing it all bad. I mean, facehunter isnt really around anymore. That's progress, right? Small steps, blizzard, small steps

Subtlety went all out the window for this design

Think this is too on-the-nose?

Deception is a minion keyword. When you play a minion with Deception: X, the other player will see it as minion X. Once the minion attacks or takes damage (I changed it from just being targeted by a spell or hero power for simplicity), then the other player sees what the card really is. From your point of view, you will see the card's true text and stats, but you will see the fake name and art. The card will also glow purple to you, like Shifter Zerus, so that you can easily remember a Deception is occurring. If your opponent tries to play something like Shadow Word: Pain that only works on cards with certain stats and such, it will act like it has the fake stats while the Deception is occurring. Naturally, X has to be a minion with the same cost, otherwise the Deception will be exceedingly obvious when you play it. 

Here are my best examples:

False Prophet is my favorite. I just love the idea of playing mind games with your opponent. You could fake them out into doing nothing on turn 2-3 because they think all their minions will die. I think Faceless Assassin is a pretty good idea too. I'm not sure what I should do for the third card, though. Here are some ideas I had:

Infiltrator could be a Deception of Undercity Huckster instead. Not sure which would be better. So, which ones do you like better? Also, please let me know if you think there are any balance issues. I was thinking of making False Prophet a 2/2, or would it even be balanced at 3/2?

Any thoughts on my intended submissions for the week? I actually had this idea a while back when thinking of a SCII themed expansion, so you can see the theme. Not too sure about balance for the murlocs' though.

 

I actually have a keyword in this thread with the exact same name on page 1, but it works differently. So, I don't know if this counts as a duplicate or not. It might be a better idea to call it something else.

 I did actually notice, I just decided until it was finalized I could go with Ranged. Maybe something like "Advanced weaponry" would work, and it fits the theme of the cards, too.

 How about Sharpshooter? It's a word known for range attackers. 

 A nice mechanic from Duelyst is that Ranged minions do not get counter-attacked by non-ranged minions., only by other ranged minions. Maybe you could incorporate this. "Ranged minions are immune while attacking non-ranged minions", to make things a little more balanced!
