Mass Dispel is 4 mana, not two. And it doesn't mess with base stats of the minions.
A silenced Lich King is still an 8/8 at least.

Devolve *can* backfire but generally having everything cost 1 less will not be favorable for your opponent.
Deathrattles and any and all buff/active effects are instantly removed for just 2 mana, which is very powerful.
And Devolve has a high chance of giving your opponent a board they have zero synergy with.

Stating that Devolve doesn't affect a powerful board isn't accurate. Mass Dispel doesn't do this either if that's the case and it's 4 mana (but draws a card) rather than 2. Many of the powerful minions have active effects or Deathrattles or even both, Tirion being a solid example. I can't easily think of a 7 drop that would be better than a Tirion. And that's assuming a good 7 drop is given to your opponent.

For me the most annoying thing about it is that there is no counter outside of Counterspell itself and the minions are completely random. How do you improve your play against a potential Devolve? Play 0 mana minions? Play 11 mana minions?

I was very happy to see it rotate out of Standard. Shaman has plenty of ways to clear the board already.

Quote from Thezzy >>

Would this count? Do you have to use a specific/special background for the card?

There is stitched card option on hearthcards for that...

My entries (my cards from the 3 expansions in a chronological order):

As it stands above, the cards highlight different thematics or/and keywords from Teknician's Year of the Gryphon.

Gadgetzan Holiday - In Teknician's expansion Rogue is marked as the coin class, so I decided to give it some support (and I also enhanced miracle rogue in wild cuz' of the rotation of Gadgetzan Auctioneer ). Since we are professional assassins, people want to hire us for our services and for every target we kill we get rewarded. And if you remember MSoG, we know that the biggest and most wanted criminals live in that city.


Flavour text - Normally people here would pay you with Counterfeit Coins, but seeing how cold-bloodedly you stab others with that dagger, they decided to treat you like a VIP.

G'Huun's Devotee

- This is how G'Huun looks like in the Blood of the Zandalari expansion. I wanted to make a card, that depicts Ritualists sacrificing their own life, in order to summon an ancient monstrosity. If you wonder how people will get two Devotees on the board - well, there are cards like Faceless Manipulator or others like Serrated Tooth , Rocket Boots , Houndmaster Shaw that allow minions with sacrifice to trigger their effects immediately.

Flavour text -  Damn, I forgot how the ritual chant goes. Uhm... ARISE, MEGA ULTRA WORM.

Well-Fed Orc - I wanted to make a flavourful minion around the "If you spent all your Mana last turn" effect and something with positioning conditions. I purposely gave it weak stats, because I feared its power in Even decks. Don't forget that the word "enemies" includes heroes as well, so this could be either used to deal 4 damage to 1 or 2 minions (taunts) or to injure the opponent 's face ( Nightblade ). Due to this flexibility I had to make it fairer (+ we all know how easily even decks use all of their mana in one turn due to their 1-cost hero powers).

Flavour text - Trust me, you don't want to stay near him when he eats. His burp is worse than his bite.

[edit] Big thanks to Wailor and to Thezzy for giving me their feedback on my cards.
