Congratulations to everyone moving on to the Finals. It was great to be part of the Competition, I've learnead a lot with great card designers :')

Am I the only one already working of the remaning 3 classes? It's really hard to call who will advance, but I want to have some stuff ready for the best scenario xD

Is anyone else repeatedly looking over their expansion and thinking that they should've done something different, or is it just me?

@Mods: could this poll please be advertised on the front page? 

All entries are so well done and you can see every single contender has put a huge effort in making this a great competition. It would really be a shame if the finalists are decided on having 5 or 6 votes (given by other contenders..). Not really speaking for myself, but for the rest; they deserve views and votes.

Oh My... Sorry for my absence lately. The first week at university was crazy, a shitload of pranks xD
I apologize for not giving further feedback to the lovely people that helped me early on. If I advance to Phase V (which I really hope to do, as I really want that sweet thing around my avatar xD)  I will make an effort to be more helpful. Wishing everyone luck, there are so many great expansions that the voting was a really though decision

Sorry for my absence last days, folks. Just started Med School, a bit more time demanding than I originally thought :P

@Cogito, you gave me thorough feedback, so link me your last prototypes and I would gladly review them ;)

Alpha concept for Hunter Legendary 3

The minion will be a hydra (to fit with the Greek mythology theme). Names will be thought of later. In terms of statline, I don't know. My first thought was 8 mana 6/5. It is comparable to King Mosh which is a 9 mana 9/7, granted that will kill your own stuff too, whereas this will probably only kill one (MAYBE two) of your own minions tops, if any.

1. Drawback - A mostly one-sided board clear needs a huge drawback. The closest thing I can think to compare your card with is Dragonfire Potion, so we can assume the battlecry is worth at least 6 mana. One easy "drawback" is make it poorly stated. A 10-Mana 3/3 or so. Or maybe it discards some of your cards, that's not Warlock exclusive, Tracking is a basic card :p
2. Set Up - Yeah, cuz Hunters and their sick card draw is great for set up stuff. I can only think of a fitting Hunter requirement if it is something like "If you control a Beast", but maybe you can think of something cooler, and harder, as having a beast all the time is the staple in Hunter.

I'm still not exactly sure on which classes to pick, but I think I'm going for the same structure as before. I'm going to choose one class from each category.

• Class set that heavily and clearly supports a certain archetype with a major and minor theme: Warlock, Druid, Hunter
• A group of cards that support a hybrid archetype with two themes that equally focused on: Paladin, Warrior, Mage
• A bag of miscellaneous goodies with 3 or more themes: Priest, Shaman, Rogue

My plan is to have one set with at least one Elemental class per phase (Paladin, Shaman, Mage).

---

How does Druid, Warrior, and Shaman sound? Here are their themes:

Druid

• Major Theme: Stabilize
• Minor Theme: Battlecry/Deathrattle synergy (works really well with Stabilize!)

Warrior

• Enrage/Damaged synergy
• Armor synergy (We only have Shield Slam!)

Shaman

• Central theme: Opposite positioning
• Removing Overload
• Elementals
• Totems

Okay, so I've been throwing together my mage class xD it's kinda messy right now but here's where I'm at.

Oh, and my warlock and priest stuff is above, at post #165.

• Mysterious Tome - "Discover a Secret. Secret Exhibit: Put it into the battlefield". Oh, wait... Jokes aside, nice card. Perhaps too good tho. If you place the secret it's crazy good. I would up the cost to 3.
• Winter Wanderer - Seems OK, but I not fond of the "opposite" mechanic myself. I think it adds a complexity Hearthstone isn't going for.
• Crazed Archmage - There's enough Secret support T-T
• Wicked Witch - The first iteration of my Spectral Defender had a similar effect. But you really nailed the wording! I would just change the card name. I think Wicked Witchcraft would be a more secret like name.
• Naga Seductress - Now that seems to be a healthy card to support secrets. How would it interact with Explosive Trap?
• Chilling Gaze - HOLY... That's a powerful Hero Power! But you don't profit for playing it a second time, so it probably wouldn't be a double of in the deck, which means it won't be drawn so early most of the times. I think it is OK, but isn't an easy call.
• Naga Queen Azshara - Yay... secrets :/ It seems balanced because it's super slow. But... yay... secrets D:

Cogito and I are giving you divergent feedback, Livienna? xD
The idea of making Greater Wind Spirit into a 3/4 is quite decent.
But regarding the Saddistic Succubus I still think it could cost 6 mana. A 6-Mana 9/9 isn't really that impactful (Constructed wise, I think that would be a REALLY good arena card) and Warlock needs a nudge right now.

Quote from thepowrofcheese >>

Been pretty busy, but got a couple of cards to show off. I'll be submitting Druid, Warlock, and Warrior classes this round. As always, feedback and balance concerns are appreciated! I'll try to be more active in feedback this weekend.

Druid (6/7)
So in my last submission, I said that Hunters are setting traps to fight against the monsters that lurk in the darkness. Druids are a class that represents these monsters. Beast synergy with some ramp and token focus.

Warlock (7/7 but I want to rework Terrorize)
Of course, Warlocks are always the antagonists. Demons such as Varimathras are always scheming, looking to take advantage of the holiday. Synergies are all over the place, with cards to support zoo, discard, and hand/control.

Warrior (5/7)
Like Hunters, Warriors are on the defense, protecting the villages from the Horseman and the beasts of the night. But they aren't all Taunt and Control cards, cause those are boring. More enrage synergy! Tempo and midrange Warrior is coming back!

• Rabid Brute - Nice early game card for Druid. But I don't think the art really shows a beast, I don't think beast-like humanoids are considered Beasts. I am no lore expert, but Houndmaster and even Shaky Zipgunner ain't a Beast for example.
• Alpha Prime - Seems really weak. 5-Mana 1/6 with an effect that only get better if you buff it? Too weak IMO. I would buff to have at least 3 attack.
• Terrorize - I would make it cost 3. If it doesn't kill and enemy minion it's a really pricy SWP.
• Dreadlord Insurgent - I think it's too pricy at the moment. 7-Mana 4/4 is really weak, a card with such a huge stat drop must have an insage effect. This one is good, but not even close to being insane.
• Varimathras - HELL YES!

The cards I said nothing I like as they are.

@Livienna and @Snorlax

I'm just about to review your cards, but tell me if there's anything important I should know e.g. a noteworthy interaction between one of your Neutral cards and your class cards.

Also, SnorlaxBR, didn't I already review your entire 3 sets on post #122? My opinions haven't changed much. What change should I pay attention to?

EDIT: Hold that thought, something came up. I promise I will review you guys' cards later. I should probably make my own cards though because you guys are almost finished, and I haven't even decided on which classes I'm gonna choose XD.
