Reave is designed to be a step up on Fireblast. Of course, that's be too powerful, so instead it has classic random effects. It clears a lot stronger minions than Fireblast, but avoid Nerubian Egg like the plague. If your opponent has no minions, it's a Steady Shot.

Inner Rage, meet Power Word: Shield. This is your basic Enrage enabler, but potentially much stronger. The basic issue with enrage is longevity. Most start with 3 health, and most have a damage boosting effect. And almost all of them have the same problem- All the damage in the world doesn't save them when they're stuck on 2 health. This card raises your enrage minions by health points and triggers. It can also act as an Arcane Shot.

Mark of the Wild [/card] says hi. This is for those early low-damage minions, your [card]Haunted Creepers and such. And no, this was not meant to make Stoneskin Gargoyle playable. A fairly simple buff card.

 Ah, the base AoE. This is a cheaper consac without being able to boardwipe, but it could more or less wreck any aggro boards on turn three.

This card looks fairly simple on the surface- some form of stall wall. But the fun comes with it's secondary effect. This card removes the concept of taunt when it comes to trading, allowing minions hidden behind that pesky Annoy-o-Tron or Sludge Belcher to be destroyed with impunity. The downside is there will be no hiding any of your minions from the opponents retaliation.

Here's the first minion with a damage effect. In this case, it's designed to ignore certain amounts of trading, and requires fairly direct trades, because anything with 2 or less attack is ignored when trading. Also, this is a sibling to Gurubashi Berserker.

Your tempo play, ladies and gentlemen. This is more or less balanced when you get two trades out of it, as you've lost 2 health from the effect, making it a 5/4. This does still trade up with 4/5's, though ping'll wreck her. This effect only triggers on attacking though, so forcing your opponent to trade is ideal.

While it doesn't trigger like Second Wind, it can easily swing the board in a mid-lategame mass trading. I will say this was more designed as an arena card, simply because I wouldn't expect people to have too many minions on turn five from the way I'm expecting this class to be taken.

The first of the Berserker weapons, Hakkari Manslayer is a mid-lategame card designed to keep you alive whie trading. Yes, it isn't unlike Truesilver Champion, but it's costed higher. Why, you may ask? Well, because Truesilver heals 4 health... This heals 9. While there are no buffs for weapons (Yet) in Berserker, Captain Greenskin is an available buff which can lead to this giving... 16.. health... Whoof.

Ohmygosh, 0 mana destroy! Well, all is not rainbows unfortunately... Let's face it, anything you want to destroy more or less will kill something of yours, and probably something you like. Violet Teacher could make this fun, though.

Sometimes you need that taunt that simply won't die to anything short of hardcore removal. Sometimes you your opponent's aggro minions to die horribly at the feet of your 5/11 Zandalari God-Hulk. Sometimes, you need One Final Stand. This card discourages the opponent from moving any of his minions in- Unnecessary damage being unnecessary and all that. This is a card designed to stall for that combo that's just slightly out of reach. We've all been there, and we've always said "I need just one more turn!" Well here ya go. 

This is designed to be a roundabout Annoy-o-Tron, allowing a stronger taunt with the downside of having almost no attack. Now, as far as I can tell, enrages occur even after a minion dies- therefore, a 3 damage minion would kill the bonechewer, but it would then survive.  

Designed to work with the aforementioned Bonechewer, this card is supposed to be tempo as heck. However, without a decent turn two play, this is a fairly mediocre card which only clears 2/1's effectively.

This is probably the most basic of the commons. This is a sort of reverse Spectral Knight, which is immune to the popular Ironbeak Owl and Big Game Hunter. It is of course also ignorant to Shattered Sun Cleric, but otherwise it's designed to take as many buffs as you can give it, of which berserker has a few.

Ever need a Doomhammer, but the not the 2 damage limitation? Well, here we are then. This allows second weapon use for double trading. The cost was actually balanced against the damage of spells like Rockbiter Weapon and Heroic Strike. Of course, with some weapons this card will be stronger than with others. Also note it says hero- Yes, this will allow destruction of one weapon chaining into the next, for maximum value.

A sort of reverse Inner Fire, this makes for better trading against some of those pesky 7 cost and higher cards with something as low as a 3 or 4 drop. Also decent for a face push if you need that last bit. I'll bring this card up a few times, but this also works really nicely with Raging Worgen, especially when combined with second wind. In fact, in general, Second Wind can make it highly powerful.

Hooookay. This is a card I really wanted to implement... This card is designed as a form of 4/3, with a massive twist- this card is designed to survive through 1 and 2 damage attack. It must be killed with a 3 damage or higher minion- Hence, a tempo play. This would also proc things like Mortal Coil for card draw, but would not die. Arcane Missiles shenanigans do not work either. I'm also not sure if this balanced properly, please do yell at me about this one.

Again, this takes the route of the Bonechewer Brawler- You either kill it outright immediately or it lives and you learn to regret letting it survive. In this instance, if it takes 4 damage it will flat out die, so overkill is no worry. However, if you don't one hit it you'll have to attack it at least 3 times, and I'm sure anyone can tell you that's a horrible disadvantage.

Though unintentional, as this was built much before it, this is an alternate version of Poisoned Blade. It has variable attack, but is fairly easily manipulated on your turn. Mostly, it's a 2/3 for 4... and that's not very good. At 2 damaged friendlies it gains value, so not unachievable. 

Yes, I know what you're thinking, it's an objectively worse Bomb Lobber. Here's where things get a bit more interesting though- The effect can and may activate on your opponent's turn, ruining trade plans and helping it survive for another turn. It's also possible to heal the Facesmusher and reuse it's effect, though you'll need something like an Earthen Ring Farseer.

This is probably the best option for turning a game around in topdeck wars. This is probably one of the better cards of the set, but the one you'd least want to play on curve. For those that are wondering, it's a mega-Slam with the capacity to draw around 1-3 cards on average. Against current meta like Patron, you can do heavy clear and get decent draw (Though some patrons may survive).

This is a strange one. On one hand, it's probably dead if your opponent has a board or spells. But much like Zandalari God-Hulk, this can spiral out of control and become something of value. It gains value off one summon on the opponents end, but more than likely you'll only get one before the opponent trades into it. I still think it's kinda fun though, requiring your opponent to make sure none of their minions will summon tokens before they kill her.

Fairly simple but effective Weapon. A Fiery War Axe with a third swing. Admittedly, Durability is less valuable then attack, but I valued the weapon around 3 so the Flame Imp effect made sense.

This is my variation on the [cardBurly Rockjaw Trogg[/card] concept of spell taunt, but on  top of that, this forces minions to trade into a large taunt minion before anything else, which forces bad trades on your opponents end of affairs. Of course, AoE's will still devastate your board and your minions won't keep stealth after the harbinger dies, so it's more of a stall piece than anything. Also, your hero does not have stealth, so you can still get kill commanded.

Ok, here's a fun one. This is, surprisingly enough, my roundabout way of designing Fireball. This is for those times when you know the minion you have in your hand won' have an immediate effect because the opponent can and will trade first. Or, you just wanna deal 5+ damage to the enemies face.

The definition of sticky taunts. It requires at least two different sources of damage at least to shut him down, and with a few Faceless Manipulators, maybe a Kel'Thuzad.... Lo'Gosh may never die. Also very fun with any other Taunts.

Who are Lo'Gosh and "Varian Wrynn"?

Well, they are technically both Varian Wrynn... Now hold with me.

Varian is the King of Stormwind, leader of the Alliance. Now, as a horde player, I knew very little about him, but I remembered he was once an amnesiac gladiator. It turns out, he was once split in two via forms of black magic. Lo'Gosh embodied his valor and bravery, and ended up fighting in horde arenas. "Varian"..? His political side...? I dunno, he seemed to drink a lot. Eventually, they killed Onyxia and fused themselves back together for more fun times. And all that jazz.

Though ya know, the horde've shed no tears if he just kinda not survived.
