in that they work best together, but still make sense on their own mechanically within the rogue class. Might become key pieces in Discount Rogue if that ever happens.
ah wow okay very intricate riddle that was then, didnt expect the connection to the fight against the literal lich King as i never played it heh but def a good one
So my shadows away you took, to give me a stargazing look, but stop with this riddle, as with me you only fiddle. Temporary is my fame in your little game. But fine, I will stay.
I may be weak, regarding my physique but I'm an antique, I was there in your battle against the King out of thin air big minions I can bring. I'm also unique.
Defender of Argus/Sunfury Protector as old handlock staples, capable of taunting up massive giants against the King of the metagame at the time which couldve been face hunter? dont know exactly
Please free me now O you adventurous soul! My allies and friends are depending on me For when you release me my work can be done And then you'll see statues and plants come for thee!
In Arena, this can turn one of your bad or awkward cards into a solid 5/5. In constructed it will be less viable since the overall quality of cards is much better than a 4 5/5, but the beast tag and the 5 Attack synergy might push it into experimentation. Maybe also the start of deckbuffing cards?
Your third card is the best of the bunch. The first one is too complicated, and the second one is rather over powered, and I don't really see how it fits Druid. The only issue I have with Weapon of Choice is the name, I don't really get it. But I really like the versatility of the effect.
Yeah the name is indeed a bit iffy, I agree with you there. The idea was that you can choose to use the card (to be more specific the sword in its art) to either kill a minion... or by "enslaving" it into a demon (seeing as a demonic entity is the wielder). Weapon of Choice (Method of Choice?) refers in this context to choosing whichever of two methods you wish to use to win the battle. But what do you think of another name like "Test/Trial of Demon" (seeing as you have to be strong enough to become one)?
Beyond the Dark Portal. Flavor-wise, there's a justification for this card being mage and warlock. The Dark Portal was created by the coordonated effort of Medivh [Mage] on Azeroth's side and Gul'dan [Warlock] on Draenor's side. Gameplay-wise it combines the zoo side of Warlock and the casino side of Mage. "Beyond the Dark Portal" is also the name of the add-on of Warcraft 2..
Bump
By definetion Beyond the Dark Portal is your best card, but like Zardoz said, it is weird that Elementals, Beasts and Pirates are streaming out amoung the other 1 drops from the Dark Portal. Furthermore the card is pretty weak. Most 1 drops has 1 health, so the card loses you the game if the opponent class has any viable Aoe.
I agree. The dark portal has high potential for flavor, and I like that the Mage /Warlock combination represents Medeive and Guldan, but the card is not there yet. Gice it a little more time and you'll have a solid entry
I actually feel like Beyond the Dark Portal is quite okay as is. As Cheese has mentioned, both Medivh and Gul'Dan open the portal which means 1 cost minions from both sides can come through, including random weenies. Besides, limiing this factor takes away the casino mage aspect which would be unfortunate. On balance, Wisps of the Old Gods isn't exactly the best comparison since it isn't played at all and when it is played it is almost only played for the buff rather than the wisps. Because of this choice given to you and the fact that most 1 drops are even then not exactly threathening, making it 7 mana wouldn't be too bad.
I also have some cards:
Stormweaver I feel has a really interesting effect with a soft taunt as this one can snowball out of control pretty quickly, especially with the combo (next turn it already is a spell damage +2 and the turn after a +5!) which can be used to good effect both in Shaman and Rogue, with the latter also having the option to apply Stealth. The balance might be hard to hit as it is rather slow.
Embalming is a buff spell that works for both Aggro Druid and Buff Paladin as they both have multiple 1 cost spells where a card like this could really help with consistency. I'm only afraid this might be too much Paladin, not enough Druid. There's also a consideration in making the draw a standalone, 1 mana spell which just draws two 1-Cost spells.
Weapon is not actually a weapon since Warlocks don't run weapons. What it is tho is a rather flavourful card with the option of turning something into a buffed demon or outright killing it. That said, it doesn't have any foreseeable practical appliance and might be hard to slot into current decks, since both classes already have good removal and don't need buffs.

Fits in nicely with shadow/thief priest.
EDIT: also, for if it whiffs

Versatile card using both Warrior and Warlock mechanics. Flavourwise you have to be strong enough to survive the trial or face death.
