THE OCCULIST

The Occultist is a class based on Eldritch Gods and the C'Thulhu mythos, or the C'Thun mythos, in this case. 
A class with damage synergies, boardclears, lots of draw, and power at a cost. Tentacles too, if you're into that...

Example Cards

Wicked Devotee : A card that synergizes well with the Hero Power, granting early game board presence. 

Madman's Knowledge : One example of the Power at a Cost cards in Occultist, granting early game draw at the cost of a friendly minion. 

Call of the Deep : Another kind of power at a cost in the class, this time relying on your hero's health to provide extra value, but also giving you Taunts to protect your face, and a bunch of tokens you can sacrifice. Tentacles! 

Wrath of the Occult : A very powerful boardclear that depicts Eldritch gods coming and wrecking everyone! 
How lovely. 

Ire of the Primordial : A powerful spell that probably removes two random enemy minions, unless they're really big. Why would you even play the game when you can just call down upon an Old One to do the job for you, anyways?

The Occultist



Have you ever felt like there aren't enough Old Gods in Hearthstone? No? Well, that's a shame, because now there's many more Gods and Eldritch stuffs in the game now!

The Occultist is a class based around Madness and Power at a price, similar to Warlock, but different.
It's main mechanics are LOTS and LOTS of card draw, to symbolize the Madness that you will be facing while you play with your cards, and it also contains many buffs, boardclears, and it's gameplan is to slowly grind out your opponent while controlling the board and creating huge threats for the opponent to remove.

It's Hero Power, while it has less power than most others by itself, has plenty of powerful synergies with the class' cards, granting sustain to your hero even without any synergies.

Card Showcase







Wicked Devotee : A 1-drop that benefits out of your Hero Power, gaining attack without being snowbally, and granting some early game presence to the Occultist.

Ghahnb the Judicator : A fun card that creates lots of value, at the price of potentially milling a bunch of the cards in your deck, helping you to grind out your opponent in control matchups.

Will of the Eldritch : Power at a cost. A cheaper Consecration, but at the cost of a friendly minion's life. The poor Murloc Tinyfin...

Deep Madness : The name says it. Only someone who has lost their mind would give an enemy minion +10/+10! But the reward being drawing 10 cards, it might be worth a try.

Doomed Expedition : The big threats that you control the game for. While the minion discovered may vary, giving anything a +10/+10 buff makes it into a lategame threat, but you might need to use a lot of your turns for it.

Thanks for reading through me spilling out nonsense that makes sense about my cards! An upvote is appreciated, and so is any feedback.

Ah, also, i really like H.P. Lovecraft and that kind of stuff, and that's where i took most of the inspiration for this class, as well as just loving grinding people out in control matchups.

THE FIST FIGHTER

One more! Have you ever just wanted to punch your opponent in the face? How about their minions' faces? Their spells' faces? Weapons'? Well this might be the class for you. With the Fist Fighter, EVERYTHING will be punched in the face, sometimes multiple times, at high speeds.

This class has many things to offer in basic; skilled techniques and tactics, eager pandas, and powerful moves that will make the ground shake and your enemies EXPLODE! AHAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Example Cards

• Distraction: A simple draw card that also has protection with it. With all the faces you'll be punching, you are going to want to protect your own face. These idiots will be punching rocks! What a bunch of dummies!
• Lesson Training: With such skillful moves you will have tons of people wanting to learn from you. Welcome them with open arms and you might just be able to benefit by overpowering your opponent on the board.
• Towel Boy: Every great fighter needs a guy who can help you keep refreshed and this guy can handle it! Just look at all those towels. He can even help your fighting squad if they need to freshen up too.
• Pumped Trainer: This guy keeps you in shape. You can't be slacking when some zero mana 1/1 penguins need to be taught a lesson. You will always be ready to attack when this guy is around, plus your other moves get a benefit just by having him around for some moral support. :)
• Rip and Tear: When your opponent is just so stupid, it starts to get to your head. It makes you want to just... RIP AND TEAR. RIP AND TEAR. RIP AND TEAR RIP AND TEAR RIPANDTEAR !

Phase I Submission

THE FIRELORD

INSECTS! I HAVE ALREADY TOLD YOU ABOUT MY CLASS! DID YOU SERIOUSLY FORGET? FINE! I WILL REPEAT MYSELF, BUT ONLY TO REINFORCE JUST HOW AWESOME I AM! FIRELORD HAS LOTS OF EXPENSIVE CARDS TO CRUSH BUGS LIKE YOU! THE CLASS HAS MANY EFFECTS THAT DEAL DAMAGE, BOTH DIRECTLY AND AS BOARD CLEARS. ALSO, THEY LIKE TO BURN THINGS- A LOT! SO MUCH, IN FACT, THAT BURN IS FIRELORD'S CLASS-SPECIFIC KEYWORD!

SOOO HOT! BURN IS JUST ONE WAY THE FIRELORD CLASS MANIPULATES THEIR DECK, IN ADDITION TO DRAWING AND SHUFFLING CARDS! CAN YOUR PATHETIC CLASS DO THAT , INSECT? NOW, BEHOLD- THE BASIC SET!

SHOWCASE CARDS

I WILL NOW ALLOW ONE OF MY UNDERLINGS TO FINISH PRESENTING THE CLASS! THERE ARE FAR MORE IMPORTANT MATTERS WHICH REQUIRE MY ATTENTION. FOR INSTANCE, SOME IMBECILE LOWERED THE TEMPERATURE IN SULFURON KEEP- BY A WHOLE DEGREE! I SUSPECT AHUNE... WE SHALL SPEAK AGAIN SOON, INSECT!

• Firelands Terror: Solid mid-game card. Has a good statline and a useful keyword. A lot of classes struggle for good 5-Cost minions. Firelord will likely have an easier time than them.
• Pesticide: Ragnaros's specialty move. Guranteed to destroy any insect- but not necessarily the one you want. Encourages controlling the board to guarantee the target of this effect.
• Rock Out: It's not all fire and flames- Rock Out is a powerful late game card that can put your opponent in a tight spot if they don't have a strong board presence or an AoE effect.
• Warm Up: Drawing cards is one of Firelord's strengths, and this powerful card surely proves this. Comparable to Arcane Intellect, Nourish, and Shield Block, this card fits right in with some of the staples from Hearthstone's history.
• Flaming Son: This basic card helps establish the self-harm theme which will become more prevalent in future sets. It can provide a powerful tempo boost if you play it on curve. You can strategically kill off a small minion of yours to avoid experiencing the full downside.

PREVIOUS PHASE

Here's the introductory post for the Firelord class.

Running short on time here, so I'll keep it brief. Presenting, the Firelord class! The custom borders were made by a fantastic CustomHS subreddit moderator and friend Logovaz.

The Firelord

Now, a little bit about the class. The hero, Ragnaros-
loud rumbling

INSECT! NO ONE PRESENTS MY CLASS OTHER THAN I , THE FIRELORD!

NOW THAT I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION, I WILL TELL YOU ABOUT MY HERO POWER! IT IS BETTER THAN ALL OF THE OTHERS. IF YOU FACE ME, YOU WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE AT A DISADVANTAGE! HA!

NEXT, MY CARDS!

OH, OF COURSE! I NEED TO TELL YOU ABOUT BURN, INSECT! BURN IS THE FIRELORD'S CLASS KEYWORD, AND IT REMOVES THE TOP CARD OF YOUR DECK! IT IS JUST LIKE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DRAW WITH 10 CARDS IN YOUR HAND!

MY CLASS IS DESIGNED FAR BETTER THAN THE OTHER 9, SOLELY BECAUSE I AM IN IT- BUT, THERE ARE OTHER THEMES AS WELL! I DARE VENTURE INTO THE UNEXPLORED DESIGN SPACE WITHIN THE DECK, VIA DRAWING, SHUFFLING, AND BURNING CARDS! I HAVE MASSIVE MINIONS, EVEN LARGER THAN C'THUN, AND THOSE PESKY JADE GOLEMS! AND THE BEST PART- I HURT MYSELF! A LOT! WAIT, THAT CANNOT BE RIGHT. I DEMAND TO KNOW WHAT INSECT DISGRACED ME WITH THEIR AMATEUR CODING SKILLS! NOT ONLY AM I THE BEST CLASS, BUT THE MOST UNIQUE ALSO! ANYONE WHO THINKS OTHERWISE IS WRONG, AND WILL SOON BE DESTROYED.

ONE LAST THING, INSECT! IF YOU HAD THE AUDACITY TO QUESTION MY ACQUISITION OF THE LEGENDARY HAMMER SULFURAS, LET THIS NERF SERVE AS A WARNING TO ANY OTHERS WHO DARE STAND IN MY WAY.

And in the red corner...

PRESENTATION

Have you ever just wanted to punch your opponent in the face? How about their minions' faces? Their spells' faces? Weapons'? Well this might be the class for you. With the Fist Fighter, EVERYTHING will be punched in the face, sometimes multiple times, at high speeds.

This class has many things to offer; skilled techniques, drunken pandas, RNG, spell generation, tokens, aggro, control, and punches so strong they make your enemies implode into a fine red mist. Who needs some big brains when you can just eat some protein and go wild?

The Cards

Left Hook: A staple of the class, what true fist fighter doesn't know the left hook? Left Hook is a simple spell that can handle most minions at turn 3 or 4, but it really shows its strength with the synergy it has with the other cards shown off here. (And cards not shown here that are for later ;) )

Gamon the Killer: A strong classic legendary that acts as a big finisher for the class, combo this with Left Hook and you can possibly deal 10 damage to the enemy hero's face and keep a 4/8 on the board. It just doesn't end there, if Gamon stays alive to the next turn, there is very high damage potential. He can easily act as an aggro or control tool, allowing you to deal double damage to the enemy or clear out two minions. Very flexible and clean.

Stonefisted Bouncer: With Mavis being such a favored fighter, she is bound to have some fans. The more fans she acquires from showing off, the bigger the bouncer she will need to keep the board how she likes it. Stonefisted Bouncer is a decent drop if you only have 1-2 minions on the board, and a key card if you have even more.

Relentless Rampage: An alright board clear, but requires set up with other cards to get decent value. Strong with the right set of cards, basically Consecration else where.

Mind Blown: Lastly, another theme in the Fist Fighter class, spell generation. These types of cards allow you to basically re-use your moves again and again during match ups. This is great for constant control and value. Maybe even a combo deck will come around with this card in mind. We'll just have to see.

I just wanted to make a class with strong muscles. Hope you enjoy.

The Researcher

Researcher is a class that is all about knowledge, science, and everything related to those. The class can draw cards well, but to balance that out, many of its cards are combo-dependent, situational, or have drawbacks in other ways. Researcher is unlikely to have cards that can answer to a situation whenever and with no trouble. Spells are another important thing for the class, and many of its minions synergize with them.

The class also has its own keyword, Study, which gives you a benefit if the last card you played fills a specific condition. Here I have Replicable Results, a spell which uses Study, as an example of the keywords formatting and of what could be done with it. In card text, it is written like "Study a (condition): X", and while uncommon, some cards, such as this one, might refer to the card that has been Studied. Replicable Results itself could be used to gain value by copying some big minions, or to duplicate minions for combos.

Deduce to Reduce: Researcher gets good card draw tools, and Deduce to Reduce is one of them. Same cost and same amount of draw as Arcane Intellect, but this lets you have some control over what you specifically draw, and gets through your deck faster. In a combo or control deck, you could use this to get those combo pieces or answers you need at the moment.

The Cost of Progress: For just two mana, this destroys a minion, but with the hefty cost of discarding two of your cards. If you can overcome that cost, it's quite strong. You could draw more cards to replace those you've lost, use the hero power to avoid having to discard valuable cards (the token goes to the right side of your hand), or you could play a tempo-like deck where the efficient way to gain board advantage is more valuable than the card advantage you lose.

Brain Blast: A removal spell that is made more powerful by the card draw in the class. Especially strong in decks that tend to keep their hands large, like control and combo.

Laboratory Guard: One of many spell synergy minions in the class. Could be used as a finisher in a miracle-like deck, if you can keep it alive for a turn. Buff this up with an Abusive Sergeant or something similar, then spam as many spells as you can for a large amount of burst.
