Hearthpwn

Quote from FrodoBagginYa >>

Hearthpwn has really gone to shit

The first that have come on my mind is Cobra Shot.

I realy don't see use of this, and I was think that even when it was just reavealed

Ok, so after a 2 months of my last(and first) creativity, I decided to show you mine very own:

STORMCALLING CORSAIR!!!!!!

This idea came to me because i think making a combo of overload cards to get weapon would be realy good in decks that haven't to much of them.

The token:

Thanks if you just readed my card. I would also love to get some votes for my card.

Edit: Balance changes - changed the condition of trigger into Battlecry .

So my class is DEMON CHAMPION!!!!!!!!!!

And also a Hero Power:

There are tokens from Hero Power:

Why this hero and class?

Keyword:

So the cards:

Venomous Demonstrider (Old Gods): This card is good example of new mechanic i added. It shows how this have good Combo with some other abilities they can have or get from another card.

Grauhowl, the Threeheaded ( Classic): The favourite pet of Khaar, his puppy and the best guardian of Deathmace treasures. It also shows how strong Devour minions can be after one or two killed minions.

Chaosblade (Frozen Throne): Of course who will be the strong Demon Champion without his weapon! Chaosblade after 3 attacks will destroy the random enemy minion and you have control when you want to make the third attack.

Chaotic Herald (Kobolds&Catacombs): Demon Champion is ruthless ruler and his dishonest warriors must be obedient even after death. So he will have some deathrattle mechanics on his own.

Cursed Elemental (Ungoro): Demons will corrupt even the most excelent creatures in the world, so elementals are easy to take control of them. To the Demon mechanic, that is mechanic that our champion won't have in basic and classic sets. Us each class, mine will get some mechanics in later sets.

Explanation to my class:

And for the end I want to thank you all for watching my class, even if you won't vote this. However if you will vote for my class thanks for you will be muuuuuch biggeeer. That's end, so goodbye!

The Inquisitor

The Inquisitor goes beyond fighting in the name of the Light. Everyone is a heretic, and no one is to be trusted. No one is pure. Nothing is sacred. And as the Destroyer, ALL WILL BURN!

(excuse the edginess)

The Inquisitor focusses on having hard removal to ensure enemy minions are completely annihilated, trying to secure the board as an advantage. Hatred must be tempered by discipline — it encourages summoning minions through methods like cost manipulation, which is also there to maintain a balance with the Hero Power as well as other cards with punishments. With destroying stuff, at points preferably the undead, there is also much interaction with Deathrattles, be it reacting to enemy Deathrattles, or finding combos with friendly Deathrattles.

As an Inquisitor, there is also the class Keyword of Bound , where enemy minions can be bound to deal with several threats as the class only has soft AoE. Additionally, friendly minions may come bound as a downside, so while you may have a strong board, stronger minions that come together may be easier for your opponent to remove.

Hope you enjoy the class!

THE SUMMONER

Deathwing wants to make a friend? Why not create a contract with a Summoner class? The Summoner class can be a worthy companion for all lonelly monster out there. Need other new friend? Don't worry, it's always a party if you bond with this class. This class can summon almost any creature given you can provide their true name to the Summoner. Any creature from the one resting on Twisting Nether or event the unknown creature roaming the vast Great Dark Beyond can also be summoned. There is also a rummor that a powerful Summoner can summon creature from different universe and timeline. Other then creating a bond with contract and summoning, this class can also boost the power of all creature it bonds with. I heard that Deathwing need more power and minion, so why wait? Create a contract with the Summoner class and enjoy your boosted power with many new friend.

THE HERO POWER:

This Hero Power shows that a normal minion can also became strong if it has a connection with the Summoner. This Hero Power can be used as an investment when you play minion on later turn. For example you Hero Power on turn two then pass, on turn three you Hero Power again and play a 1-Cost minion, that minion now gain double the buff of your Hero Power (+2/+2).
                                                   

MONSTROSITY KEYWORD:

This keyword will show that creature can unlock its true power by the help of Summoner class. This class can buff the creature by spell or Hero Power to trigger its monstrosity. This keyword mosly works like the "at end of your turn" effect but you need a buff to activate it. Green Attack value means that a minion has more Attack value then the original stats. I used the "green Attack value" to be more intuitive. Some card can make a 1/1 copy of minion, when people buff the 1/1 copy sometimes people will think "why Monstrosity is not active? I already buff the 1/1 into 2/2." This happend because many people will think the base value of the copy is 1/1. The green Attack value is more clear in this case because even if it became a 2/2 (higher then the base value of the 1/1 copy) if the Attack is not turned green the Monstrosity will not activated.

CLASS SUMMARY:

• This class mostly relly on minion battle, like Paladin and Hunter class.
• This class lack spell removal but many of its class minion provide a decent tool to control the board.
• Many of its spell have a buff and other effect that change the behaviour of the minion on the board.
• This class lack burn damage, it reduce the opponents life to 0 mostly by attacking using a minion or its hero.
• This class can pressure your opponent with big minion that came out on early turn like Ramp Druid, it either grow into a big minion by itself or you play a buff on it.
• This class have a great synergy with minion with on going effect and high Health.

EXAMPLE CARDS:

• Gentle Oddities (Basic): Provide a card draw if you keep him buffed and healthy. This card also show how Monstrosity mechanic work.
• Body Merge! (Classic): Your hero merge with your summoned minion and giving the hero extra protection. This card can also be used to save your minion for your next turn, it works like psudo Shadowstep without the benefit of triggering a Battlecry effect.
• Abyss Jester (Old Gods): This card show a basic synergy that can benefit you if you create a deck that focused on keeping your buffed (green Attack value) minion alive.
• Horror from the Deep (MSG): This card is a card draw to fecth more treat in your deck. This card can buff your small minion into a 5/5 body or make your expesive minion into a 5-Cost card.
• Daedalus, Devouring Earth (Un'goro): An artificial elemental created by the Titan using an Old God sample. This card provide control play style for Summoner that rely on minion like Swamp King Dred for Hunter. This card also showing the synergy with bufffed (green Attack value) minion.

The Lego Minifigure

Some background about Emmet:

He is the main character of the first Lego movie, he has been working most of his life on the construction site as an instruction worker in the city of Bricksburg. In the movie he stop Lord Business (the villain) from gluing the world together with the Kragle and saved the city from destruction. Nowadays Emmet hang out with his buddies in the local inn, improving his hearthstone skill and leads his race to victory.

The Lego Minifigure class harness the magical energy of Power Crystals and combine them into even more powerful Crystals, this is the core concept of the class, therefore the class unique keyword and many of the class card benefits from smart resources management, the class will not have access to many direct damage spells, most direct damage will come from battlecries and various minion effects.

The Hero Power:

The basic Crystals:

Advanced Crystals:

So, how do you turn basic crystals into advanced crystals? That's simple!

All you have to do is target your hero portrait with one of your basic crystals (only targetable if you have at least 2 different basic crystals), and pick the desired advanced crystals, the choosing interface is the standard "Choose one" interface with 1 or 2 options (depends on whether or not you have only 2 different or 3), the color merging follow the standard color mixing, for your convenient i made a picture with all the possible combinations and a color chart with the 3 primary colors and their intersections:

Crystal balance notes:

Unlike most hero powers, Find Minerals has no immediate effect (you need to spend additional mana), as such it is allowed to be slightly stronger than the average hero power (for example +2 Health considered better than 2 Heal). The advanced crystals are even slower than the basic ones (essentially a 5 mana: do nothing over 2 turns), but with great slowness comes great power (superman ©) , compared to other hero powers an advanced crystals is extremely powerful (compare 3x 1/1 silver hand recruits or 3x 2 face damage to 6 stats and minor effect) so the crystals are all about planning for the future and managing resources.

New keyword: Empower!

The idea behind the new keyword is to introduce spell synergy (crystal synergy) to the class without making it too easy to activate (it works only with single target buffs, to prevent spell spamming (see: Flamewaker , Gadgetzan Auctioneer )).

All the balance decisions will be made with the hero power in mind (1-mana spells), so the effects will not be extremely powerful (at most ~2 mana worth).

The example cards:

(The skeleton is existing token Skeleton )

Card Notes:

Bane's Toxic Truck:(Classic) This card meant to be a classic powerhouse (inline with Fire Elemental and Savannah Highmane ), it is essentially a bigger Eydis Darkbane , without any buff it's just a vanilla 6/5, so i found it appropriate to give him a premium stats for a 5 drop.

Curse of the Undead:(Old gods) The Curse is a powerful but situational card that acts like pseudo-polymorph, if you manage to kill a minion with that it prevent deathrattles from triggering and mess up with Resurrection cards (big priest, guldan, n'zoth etc). The downside of the card beside being symmetric board clear is the fact that it doesn't really clear the board, against token decks it just replace their 1-3 health minions with 1/1 skeletons which could be dangerous.

Raging Raptor:(Ungoro) Like a real raging raptor this minion is uncontrollable and randomly attack enemies. it is powerful common card that can potentially attack 3 times instead of once (end of turn, end of the opponent turn and regular attack), it has low attack (4) for a 8 mana minion but it greatly benefit from any kind of buff, if left unanswered it can be a game winning card.

Fortress of Solitude:(Frozen knights) This is the class panic button, when you're facing the wall just take a pause for a turn and try to stabilize the following turn.

The Crystal King:(K&C) This card is extremely powerful in the right moment, discarding any advanced crystal with 1-2 minions on the board creates a massive value, also it can be used as burst finisher (something like bloodlust) or as stabilizing tool (make a taunt wall).

Additional information about the class:

Most of the animations are from the Lego movies ( The Lego Movie (2014), The Lego Batman Movie (2017) , The Lego Ninjago Movie (2017) ) and other lego sets animation from youtube.

The class will be built around minions with continuous effects (mainly end of turn and empower), therefore the class is heavily relies on board control to be successful.

The weakness of the class will be the lack of direct damage spells and very little aggro support (most card will be control\midrange orientated).

Hope you liked the concept, and good luck to all the participants!

THE MATHEMATICIAN

THE HERO
Paul Erdos is one of the most prolific and excentric mathematicians ever existed. A very well known character in the history of math, specially for the Erdos Number, a number that states how "distant" is the connection between Erdos and a mathematician through their scientific papers. Having a low Erdos number for a mathematician is an honour: whoever worked with him on a paper has Erdos number equal to 1; whoever worked with someone with Erdos number equal to 1 has Erdos number equal to 2, and so on. He is an ispiration for many young math students, and for me, too.

THE KEYWORD

It is a minion-exclusive keyword. A minion with Exponent: (x) can be played as a Spell. It will be considered as a Spell (any Spell-related effect will trigger, like Counterspell ). Battlecry effects will not work, but minions with Exponent will not have any Battlecry effect. They will have, instead, effects like Taunt, Spell Damage , Deathrattles, end-of-turn effect, etc. When played as Spell, they will cost (x) , which can be completely different from the cost of the original minion. The idea is that sometimes certain effects can be useful on a different minion, while sometimes, because of your strategy (or maybe a bad hand, or a cleared board) you'll need to play the minion in its original form. It is a versatile keyword that is funny to balance while creating cards, depending on how the original minion is, and I hope is funny to play, too.

EXAMPLES
Here are a few examples of cards. These are respectively from the Basic, Standard, Whispers of the Old Gods, Journey to Un'Goro and Knights of the Frozen Throne sets.

Young Math Students: a simple 2-drop, a young student who has begun to study the wonderful magics of mathematics.
Multiple Integral: calculating these things are annoying and, at points, very difficult. But if your computational power is high, they become very strong means for any mathematician who is applying in physics. You can see a new mechanic, where Spell Damage does not affect only... spell damage , but other values, like Attack and Health of a minion.
Graham's Number Shadow: Graham's number is a very, very, VERY big number. Long story short, is the biggest number used in a mathematical demonstration. It is powerful, and impossible to compute: that's why it gets very stronger thanks to the Spell Damage double bonus. It is so enourmous, mysterious and evil, in a sense, that it deserves a place in the WotOG expansion.
Ancient Calculator: old, dust-ridden, found between some eggs in a dinosaur nest in Un'Goro, this Calculator still works, and can help your hero distracting enemy minions. You can trow it on the ground (playing it as a minion) or give it to one of your colleagues (playing it as a Spell through the Exponent keyword).
Factorization Shapes: numbers are not only numbers. They can be "dissected" or, as we mathematicians say, factorized, to understand their nature in a better way. But what happens if you factorize numbers through shapes? Well, numbers become pointy, complex, I would say even dangerous. Factorizing a minion will give it the ability to hurt your opponent when it will die in a very very threatening way. I chose KotFT for this card because of the Deathrattle theme, and the idea that a factorized minion, in a sense, comes back from the death by dealing damage through its "shapes".

EXPLANATION ON THE CLASS
This class can be both spell-oriented or minion-oriented. The Hero Power and the Spell Damage theme in general suggests that this hero can work very well with Spells. However, I am not gonna put too many strong damaging spells in this class. My idea is that Spell Power in this class shall be used in more original ways. The Multiple Integral is an example. I plan to make more cards, and especially more minions, like that. Thanks this point of view on Spell Damage , and thanks to the Exponent keyword, this class could also play minions heavily , even a zoo deck or an aggro.
Spell Power, in this class, is considered as Computational Power, as the Hero Power's name tells. That means that the higher the Spell Power, the better calculations, operations, computations or whatever you want to call them can be made by the mathematician. That's why minions and spells become stronger thanks to it.
Instead, the idea for the Exponent keyword comes from the concept of exponentiation: elevating a number to an n-th power will increase the number; "elevating" a minion on the field with the "powers" of a minion in your hand will make that minion stronger. I also wanted to create a keyword that works "from the hand", like Combo , Choose One and Overload , which are basically exclusive class keywords. This way, I hope this keyword feels "natural" among the other ones.

Thanks for your attention, good luck to everybody.
