The idea is that these card will help Priest gains tempo in the early game with Shadowform and then they can switch back to healing / value with another copy. Also serve as an emergency super healing / board clear with Auchenai when facing against super aggro deck.
Balance: Obviously, these cards are super OP compare to Shadowform. Which means it will actually see play and allow Priest to be playable again in Constructive after Resurrect Priest and Dragon Priest got circled out (and maaaaaybe in Arena). The closest compare I can make is with Sir Finley Mrrgglton but are spells (which means Priest won't have the 1/3 body) but is pretty much tailored for the Priest's playstyle and theme. Plus, you can always switch back with a second copy if you desperately need a heal.
It could include real HS cards, but I was thinking of veering off of that and making a fully custom game. There are over 800 cards in HS currently, so it would take me maybe 4 hours to load them in.
The thing is that when I design new cards I do it thinking about all the already existing cards. Also, it'll take you less time than to load custom cards, right? Since you already have all the audios, the authors, etc and I'm sure that 4 hours is nothing compared to the time it must be taking you to create this mod.
I understand your dilemma Obersin2000 but I must agree with Alex considering the fact that many user's card is created and designed around existing cards in later expansion.
The idea is that these two Legendary will work together to create a massive swing turn that allow you to have at least 4 minions on the field while repeatedly wipe your opponent's board if they can't get rid of the tokens or the big minion. And even then, they still have to deal with the fact that you can very realistically have the OG Velen in your deck and shits like Resurrect or Onyx Bishop. Ishanah's Taunt allows Priest to have some early game over aggressive decks.
Next: A Legendary minion that refers to an already existing Legendary in its card text or effect.
Having this card in a Mage arsenal will help them a long way considering it is very flexible. Control Mage? Protect your Spell Damage minions and get a 4 mana 4/6 with Taunt. Freeze Mage? Protect your Spell Damage minions to burst down your opponent or clear their board whilist gain Taunt to survive. Tempo Mage? A cheaper conditional Druid of the Claw. Worst case scenario it is a 4 mana 3/5. Balance: Compare to Druid of the Claw and Twilight Guardian but a little stronger than them because the condition is harder to meet.
Is my card really so bad it doesn't even get a single vote? I think it's a pretty interesting concept -- the enemy is punished for destroying it if your board is full, because not only do you gain spell damage on each minion, but your spells in hand could be reduced in cost heavily. However, the enemy can control when it is destroyed to capitalize on this.
I like your card quite a bit, but I think a big reason it was disliked is because the flavor is too long for Hearthstone (we usually only have 4 lines in card effect.)
@ Demon. Redneck: To make it clear, Vanessa is my "fun" card that I created on a whim while Dalaran Protector is my "boring" card that is clearly based off another minion in the game (Twilight Guardian, Druid of the Claw and Thing from Below).
