Ozruk

Throwback to Ozruk hype season. I have very clear memories of "this card was insane in testing!" that were not reflective of how it turned out. Mechanics wise ya only get one Ozruk because they fuse before the others can trigger to give you an Ozruk.

I think it’d be worth our time to ask them if there’s anything they’d be willing to say hasn’t worked out that seemed really promising in testing, like Joust or similar, and how that’s affected their theorycrafting.

also, and this is more for the design community, will they ever hold a design competition for the actual games? A lot of TCGs have done this in the past and Hearthstone already has a really strong design community.

Guess I'll post my idea first. Art is not in it's final decided order.

 I found my biggest issue with the various Galakronds' is none of them did anything particularly new or interesting, something that was both a strength and weakness of his predecessor hero cards. Blackhand forces two adjacent enemy minions to share all damage (If they're hit with a Whirlwind, they both take two, if one's hit with a Fiery War Axe, they both take 3) and pressures board hard, in a unique way. The invoke card welds the chosen minion randomly to an adjacent one, then deals damage. Welds cannot be stacked.

Congratulations to Filipter33! 

Zerug Rush!

Felhound Portal for reference. 2/2 Rush for flavor, 3m stealth for utility. It only triggers on enemies because otherwise I'm almost certain it could go infinite. She's a slow value generator or good to help a trade early game with some added catchup hounds.

Congrats to Hikarigami for their win!

Annorei: Nice meme, highly overpowered.

Hikarigami: I do think that the previously suggested "First spell a turn" suggestion would help rebalance this. My other suggestion would be that this weapon loses durability to give a Spell extra damage equal to it's cost, then probably drop it's durability to 9 (If you make it conditional then we don't have 20 damage Pyroblast shenanigans). This keeps the flavor for Fireball whilst removing the issue of 0-cost spells and also making Arcane Missiles not an insta kill. Like the concept overall.

ScorpionSw: I do like the idea of making Pure Paladin into a new form of Highlander or non-2 cost deck. I'd stress though that there was a reason Prince Keleseth was busted, and while this can't be bounced... I'd still be careful.

Rakio: I'd make it a class specific Legendary. It's more versatile than Mind Control Tech in what it can counter, so a class restriction feels in order. I love the idea of locking out 1-attack minions though and the idea of it in a Handbuff deck is tantalizing.

BMcGill: Go back over the rules, all minions are capped at 3 mana. That being said... How would this interact with Reno Jackson or Nozari? While Varedis Felsong has brought some new design possibilities, he still has restrictions, and I'm not of the mind that unlimited Health is safe design space. Consider for a moment how the design on Armor restricts common triggers, and then look at cards like Priest of the Feast. The limiter on that card is having a cap, but setting no ceiling facilitates much easier versions of the Linecracker infinite armor deck. I dunno, I don't feel it's a design space that can really be explore in Hearthstone.

GenMarleon: At first I was hesitant, but I do appreciate the idea of trading Invoke consistency for draw consistency. I think it's a decent idea.

Screwjank: I like Iceborn Gauntlet, but not as much as I like Rattlegore. Giving your opponent both some initiative on whether you have an AoE as well as the mindgames that come from both players knowing you have it feels like a good tradeoff for what is a sufficiently busted AoE. Very nice!

I'm in debate between these two choices, and also trying to figure out the balance on the Bladefist. To clarify, the Bladefist only can't attack if the enemy hero is Immune, but it seemed prescient to include the clause.

"Sure, it's the last resort Ner'zhul... so why are you playing it turn 1?"

Owing to the general inconsistency of stats between cheap demons, I elected for the Totem to be cheaper than Nerubian Egg. You can  high roll but most often you're getting something that's averaging to 3/3 with one keyword. The flavor here is that Warlocks owe their lineage to Shamans; Ner'zhul is often regarded as the first Warlock in lore.
