The problem with Warrior is that they don't have any obvious weaknesses. Removal? Two of them! Needs an activator, but still, check! Sustain? Whole class mechanic is based around stacking health. Card draw? You'll mostly keep cards in control lists, for faster lists, Battle Rage, check! Strong early game presence? Check! AoE? How about a mass board clear and a couple of mini AoE's? Weapons? How about a mechanic based around buffing weapons, and some of the strongest weapons in the game! They even have a small direct damage spell! Their only "weakness" is Control/C'thun Warrior's matchup against Hunter, and that's a very specific one. Their notable weaknesses are nothing compared to Druid not having good removal and AoE or Rogue not having some sort of healing/defensive spell. And don't get me wrong, I also play Warrior sometimes. It just annoying that half of the decks I face in ladder are some sort of Warrior archetypes. Other half is Shaman and Warlock of course.

Also, note that most of Warrior's main cards are from classic set, and was the reason Blizzard nerfed Druid. It'd be sad to see those cards being nerfed as none of them are "Dr." level but all of them remaining forever will always keep the Warrior mentality and playstyle same with the exception of a couple FoTM decks and I don't think Blizzard would want that to happen.

So I've been creating some cards lately, and I decided to fit them in some common theme. Well, most cards I designed have some crazy effects, themes or names, so they are all related to pretty chaotic stuff!

I'll post a random wave of cards whenever I binge-design them

Finished sets: Hunter, Priest, Shaman, Warlock

DRUID:

HUNTER

MAGE

PALADIN

PRIEST

ROGUE

SHAMAN

WARLOCK

WARRIOR

NEUTRALS

Feel free to leave a comment below for constructive criticism & your favorite cards from the set! Have a good day!

Damnit I was going to post that!

Horns up! \m/

Ancient Brewmaster (same amount of letters)

Lorewise, N'Zoth The Corruptor is my favorite, because he was (actually still IS in WoW) the big, bad dude that lurked behind the shadows. In HS, I think Yogg has the most crazy effect, which also fits his theme, which is madness, while also fitting the REAL Old God theme.

What is that "Real" Old God Theme you ask? Well, I mean, Old Gods are really powerful beings that can't be controlled by a mere mortal, they shouldn't do what you want them to do if you ask me. You should also be terrified from their presence as much as your opponent. And that's exactly what Yogg-Saron, Hope's End does.

The effect's almost legendary-worthy. At least I'll feel like playing a legendary while playing this card. Too bad this expansion has the very dull effects for non-Old God legendaries and cool/powerful effects like this card's effect for rare/epics. Not sure if that's good or bad.

This will replace Doomhammer in control (and possibly midrange) lists because this has all the attributes a weapon has. DH is a really bad weapon for trading, and it's only purpose is to quickly burst the opponent by combining it with Rockbiter Weapon. It basically has no meaning without rockbiter, which is unhealthy for Shaman class itself in the long run.

If you play the Hammer of Twilight in turn 5, you'll most likely kill a minion, and next turn you'll get an extra body by repeating the same thing. On the other hand, DH won't do shit if you equip it in t5, other than killing a mid-game minion in 2 hits or killing two smaller dudes, which doesn't improve shaman's matchup vs aggro at all since shaman already has plenty of ways to deal with aggro that also punishes your next turn thanks to overload.

TL;DR: Exactly the mid-game weapon Shaman needed.

Solemn Vigil (same amount of card draw)

Finally, a title that fits the card's effect! It indeed is the "hope's end"

I feel like they can't decide what to do with Warlock archtypes right now. In GvG and BRM they were pushing for a Demon theme (with a couple of Mechs, of course) and with TGT they decided to work with discard mechanic. And lastly, in LOE they went with a really aggresive/flood theme for lock class cards. In this expansion, however, I have no idea what they are going for. Probably some kind of "Get as greedy as possible in every way" theme? (card draw, randomness, spells, health)

Spending a card to deal 2 damage is a weak play which makes Lava Shock a bad card.
That in turn, makes it so that you cannot work around high overload cards. Feral Spirit is being played because it produces two bodies, and is therefore harder to remove and safer to play. Casting Earth Elemental is a huge risk. It essentially costs you 8 mana for a card that can be removed by your opponent before accomplishing anything. That is a big enough downside to make pretty much all of competitive players stay clear of this card.

Hello everyone,
this is a gallery of cards created by me. Hope u enjoy them, iv had a lot of fun creating them. I like to create cards by finding a good art first and then think about what ability could that card represent. If u find a good art and want me to make a card with it, feel free to PM me ;-)

Custom Cards:

Neutral:

Fresh Meat: (artist: JoelKool121)
- submited in Weekly Design Competition #22: One Thing Led To Another

This card is supposed to act as kind of finisher for Murloc decks. I made it WL card for obvious reasons (hero power). WL has best hero power for Murloc deck, so he can spamm them by 2 at a time, but u need to look out for how much r u tapping, so u wont end up killing yourself :)

I know its a loooot of text on the card and im not entirely sure if it is balanced at all, but let me know what u guys think :)

Grab: (artist: unknown)
- created for Weekly Design Competition #9: Mirrored Spells

This card is kinda small mix of Ancestor's Call/Mindgames and some healing, altered and glued together :)

I think it could be interesting card for warlock, to help him pull Giants or Mal'Ganis etc. from his deck earlier and also get some much needed healing. Can deny battlecries from opponents minions (well yours too, but that would have to be accounted for, if u decided to run this card). A lot of options with this card.

Soul Stealer: (artist: zhowee14)
- created for Weekly Design Competition #4: 1 Mana Class Minions

Counterpart to Blood Imp. Soul Stealer will slowly chip enemy minions souls away till they DIEEEEEEE ... muhehehe grglg :D Cant damage enemy hero, just minions.

Staff of Indecision: (artist: uknown)
- created for Weekly Design Competition #31: The Imitation Game

Warlock weapon. New option of early removal with some kick in the end :) Might even synergize with getting Molten Giants our earlier, since u will be taking face dmg.

The staff is called "Staff of Indecision", cause after you use all its charges, it will have to decide, which secret to play for u, but since its a very difficult decision for the lazy staff to make, it will just leave it to a random chance and be done with u :)

Changelog:

Wing Two: The Botanica

: The Naaru, in their travels came across many specimens they tried to preserve. A noble goal.

: Now they serve the greater goal of finding a way to cure our reliance on magic.

Boss One: Commander Sarannis

Sarannis is the first line of defense against anyone trying to reclaim the Botanica.

: Commander Sarannis, begin full evacuation of the Botanica. That is an order.

Commander Sarannis's hero power is going to hurt, badly, but if you do it right she can also hurt herself badly with it.

Of course, on top of other Warrior spells and cards, she has two special minions that can make things complicated.

She's like a Mistress of Pain but better.

Also:

Picture a Yeti. Now divide its 4 attack into 2 2-attacks.

Dialogue

Begin: Step forward.

First time she plays a special minion: Guards, rally! Cut these invaders down!

Emote Response: Oh, stop your whimpering.

Sarannis Wins: Mission accomplished.

Defeated: I have not yet... begun to...

: You've accomplished little, intruder.

Reward

Steward with a giant sword. Kael'thas has become a little militaristic.

For defeating Commander Sarannis, players earn 2 Bloodwarder Steward cards.

Heroic Commander Sarannis Changes

Sarannis, as is typical has more health than before. Her hero power doesn't hurt any more, but it costs nothing at all so you're going to have her constantly wailing on you.

Her minions also got beefed up:

Boss Two: High Botanist Freywinn

He didn't get the memo to evacuate. He's very busy.

: High Botanist, I said evacuate! Are you listening?!

Freywinn's hero power follows the same psuedo-random effect the Shaman hero power does, with its own four possible summons:

Of course, that's not all Freywinn's got. Anyone who ran Botanica will remember his little friends.

As well as a hefty amount of these non-beast Ironfur Grizzly cards, he also has druid spells, including:

Dialogue

Begin: What are you doing? These specimens are very delicate!

First time Freywinn uses his Hero Power: Nature bends to my will...

First time Freywinn casts Tranquility: Endorel aluminor!

Emote Response: You will feed the worms!

Defeated: The specimens must be preserved...

: So shortsighted. Very well. I've nothing of value left in the Botanica, have fun wasting your time on it, adventurer.

Reward

You won't feel a thing...

For defeating High Botanist Freywinn, players earn 2 Sunseeker Genesplicer cards.

Heroic High Botanist Freywinn Changes

His hero power is now four times as powerful! The Saplings again:

His Tranquility remains unchanged, but his Treants are much stronger:

Boss Three: Thorngrin the Tender

What was Kael'thas doing allied with a satyr?

: Ah yes, Thorngrin. I almost forgot about him. He's of no more use to me.

This hero power hurts QUITE a bit. It's like a cheaper Assassinate on demand, that heals his hero.

Beyond that Thorngrin plays a fairly normal demonlock, with a lot of Hellfires and his reward card, but he also has:

Dialogue

Begin: What aggravation is this?

First time he casts Hellfire: Scream while you burn!

First time he uses his Hero Power: You seek a prize, eh? How about death?

Emote Response: I hate to say I told you so...

Defeated: You won't... get far.

: With any luck the escaped specimens will do my job for me.

Reward

Satyrs used to be night elves. Look at Malfurion, can you see the resemblance?

For defeating Thorngrin the Tender, players earn 2 Nethervine Trickster cards.

Heroic Thorngrin the Tender Changes

Like Commander Sarannis, Thorngrin's hero power gets no more powerful but it becomes infinitely cheaper.

Beyond this, the only change beyond a slightly improved AI is that his Rockbiter-esque Enrage is now... quite a bit better.

Boss Four: Warp Splinter

This Ancient of the Arcane was trapped in the Botanica, and can't tell friend from foe.

: Warp Splinter was a promising lead, but in the end it was a dead end. Do whatever you wish with it.

This will always deal at least 1 damage, due to your hero's presence.

Warp Splinter wields arcane and nature spells. Arcane Explosion, Wrath, Force of Nature, Unstable Portal, etc.

Also, this:

Which summons:

Plus, Warp Splinter has one special legendary tucked away in his deck:

Dialogue

Begin: Who disturbs this sanctuary?!

First time he uses Call of the Ancient: Children, come to me!

Playing Laj: Maybe this is not - No, we fight!

Emote Response: You must die! But wait: this does not - No, no you must die!

Defeated: So confused. Do not... belong here.

: Enjoy cleaning out the experiments? In the meantime I've been preparing my defenses, interloper.

Reward

It just can't make up its mind!

For defeating Warp Splinter, players earn 2 Frayer cards.

Heroic Warp Splinter Changes

As a result of this upgraded hero power, flooding the board with 7 minions results in 24 damage split among your side.

Most of his abilities are unchanged, but Call of the Ancient...

Before, he summoned 3 Saplings for a maximum of 6 Health restored, or 20% of his health. Now he summons 6 for a maximum of 12 Heath restored, or a little over 25% of his increased health.

Laj, too, got stronger.

Wing Reward

He's the senile old grandpa of plants.

For clearing the Botanica, players earn one Warp Splinter.

Class Challenges

First, Warriors challenge Commander Sarannis for two special banners:

You fiend! Those colors don't go together at all!

After this, Druids challenge the Warp Splinter in exchange for 2:

Breathe in, breathe out. Go to your happy place.

That concludes the second wing of Tempest Keep. Hope you all enjoyed, I encourage you to please leave a reply on the bosses, the dialogue, and the cards. See you next time for the third wing of Tempest Keep.

Millennia ago, the Naaru rescued the Draenei from the grip of Sargeras with the Tempest Keep, a fleet of interdimensional ships of great power. Now, Prince Kael'thas Sunstrider holds dominions over the halls. He has made a deal with the devil and betrayed him for demons, working tirelessly to further his goals in the name of his people, even as his goals imperil the Blood Elves. Kael'thas must be stopped before he goes too far, but it will not be easy. Your task is to shut down the ongoing research in the Mechanar and Botanica, then regain control over the Arcatraz, before storming the eye of Tempest Keep itself. But be warned: Kael'thas Sunstrider is not known as the Sun King for nothing.

When players select Taking Back Tempest Keep, they are immediately greeted by Kael'thas himself.

: What's this? An interloper?

: How droll. You can't stop me. You will not. I have come too far... and you will not interfere.

Wing One: The Mechanar

: Welcome to the Mechanar, interloper. It is here that we harvest the manacells of the Naaru for our own purposes.

: Now die.

Boss One: Mechano-Lord Capacitus

He's a giant robot, but don't tell him that!

: It takes great precision and power to harvest the tools of the Naaru. Observe.

Capacitus is constantly churning out Nether Flares to harass the player. What are they? They're this:

In addition to that and his late-game deck, Capacitus has a special spell of his own:

As well as a special effect you may remember from Naxxramas...

That's not all, though. Capacitus has two unique legendaries, both of them demons.

Dialogue

Begin: You should split while you can.

First time he plays Reflective Shield: Go ahead, gimme your best shot! I can take it!

First time Reflective Shield triggers: Think you can hurt me? Huh? Think I'm afraid a' you?

Emote Response: Damn I'm good!

Defeated: Bully!

: How did you - ? Hmm... interesting.

Reward

YOU! SHALL NOT! HEAL!

For defeating Mechano-Lord Capacitus, players earn 2 Bloodwarder Centurion cards.

Heroic Mechano-Lord Capacitus Changes

The Nether Flares themselves don't grow stronger - reminder below - but now... there's TWO of them!

If at any point in Heroic Tempest Keep you attempt to play Alexstrasza, Kael'thas steps in saying:

: What sort of Prince doesn't aid his people against the Dragonqueen herself?

Then not only does he destroy Alexstrasza, he Flamestrikes your entire board. Do not play Alexstrasza.

Boss Two: Nethermancer Sepethrea

Pathaleon the Calculator chose her to be his apprentice because she's good at summoning.

: Nethermancer, destroy this interloper. I have a bad feeling about this.

A theme of the Mechanar is 'summoning stuff'. So Nethermancer Sepethrea... well, she summons stuff. This stuff to be precise:

Stay on top of the Raging Flames, or their pulses will add up quickly.

Combines with her spells such as Dragon's Breath and other mage spells, Sepethrea can use:

Dialogue

Begin: Don't value your life very much, do you?

First time she casts Dragon's Breath: Anar'endal dracon!

First time she summons a Raging Flame: I am not alone...

Emote Response: Think you can take the heat?

Defeated: Anu... bala belore... alon.

: No, no no no, this can't be happening.

Reward

It's like a Divine Shield, but made of FIRE!

For defeating Nethermancer Sepethrea, players earn 2 Sunseeker Astromage cards.

Heroic Nethermancer Sepethrea Changes

Not only is her hero power cheaper, but it summons TWO Raging Flames. These can add up very, very fast, since she'll be spamming this from the beginning.

Boss Three: Pathaleon the Calculator

Pathaleon is the blood elf in charge of the Mechanar. Do what needs to be done.

: Pathaleon, transmit to the Eye all the data you have stored. Delay the interloper while I prepare a surprise for them.

Moar summoning! This time, he summons his signature Nether Wraiths.

In addition to his control deck, Pathaleon has Arcane Explosions and even two Mind Controls.

Dialogue

Begin: We are on a strict timetable!

First time he uses his Hero Power: Time to supplement my workforce...

First time he casts Mind Control: I'm looking for a team player.

First time he reaches 15 or less Health: A minor inconvenience.

Emote Response: I've been waiting for you.

Defeated: The project will... continue.

: A tragic loss, but it will not be in vain. I still hold access to the rest of Tempest Keep.

Reward

He just wants a hug, but everything he touches dies!

For defeating Pathaleon the Calculator, players earn 2 Tempest-Forge Destroyer cards.

Heroic Pathaleon the Calculator Changes

Hey, remember that theme we have in the Mechanar? Well now it's TWICE as powerful! This actually wasn't intentional, but the bosses just sorta... developed this way in the Mechanar.

Wing Reward

He's not much fun once you press his buttons.

For clearing the Mechanar, players earn one Pathaleon the Calculator.

Class Challenges

First in the Mechanar, Shamans go up against Mechano-Lord Capacitus to secure two copies of:

The marketing team thought 'thunderstrike' was too forgettable.

After that, Paladins go up against Pathaleon the Calculator to get two of:

He was heartbroken when he learned what his prince was up to. Wouldn't come out of his room for days.

That concludes the first wing of my newest adventure. Hope you all enjoyed, I encourage you to please leave a reply on the bosses, the dialogue, and the cards. See you next time for the second wing of Tempest Keep.

Quote from Zenmasta jump

...  but I couldn't understand why Sister of Elune has that Battlecry? One more Health compared to Yeti, class card and playing her into a non-empty board is like commiting suicide.

I thought i explained it in her description, it is ment for plays where it is benefitial to u, to give one of your minions to your opponent. I always wanted such card, where i would give my opponent northshire cleric and overdraw him, or gave him my damaged deathlord, so i would get the minion summoned etc :)

Glad u like Dummo :D hes one of my favourites too :D

Is... is that Mankriks Wife back for revenge ? O__O

This card itself is a good card. 8/4+4/4+card draw with definite result is good value at 9 mana. The 8/4 body is too big to ignore, as it can hit face hard or trade with big things and be played again immediately. Also extremely good at topdeck wars/fatique wars.

The 4 health and vulnerability to bgh isn't really a great problem, consider it has such a powerful deathrattle. Is it really that easy to deal 4+4 damage turn after turn?

However its weakness to silence is a huge problem, which may be a major reason that it will not see play in constructed, but it definitely worths a try.

Very good arena card btw.

Quote from konorumbl jump

The video doesn't prove anything. So they set the clock to August 24th. Doesn't mean that is the release day. Could have been August 3rd, 10th, or 17th and the game would still show the packs as unlocked on August 24th.

Except...
The game does not allow you to try to open packs if you set the system clock to august 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th, 20th, 21st, 22nd, 23rd...

but DOES allow you to *try to* open them on the 24th or beyond.

I don't understand how you can think that this is NOT a very possible release date -- considering Blizzard knew which quarter they were going to release Reaper of Souls, Hearthstone, the scrapped game with codename Titan and the Heart of the Swarm back in 2010...

This is activision now.
"It's done when it's done" doesn't apply anymore:
It's pushed out of the door at deadline, regardless of it's quality -- as seen with Diablo 3, or scrapped, as seen with Titan.

Quote from Zenmasta jump

All control-slower decks are mostly trying to stall out until they put their big dudes and win conditions down, and losing to an Alexstrasza or FoN-Roar is more expected than a explosive aggro start. I think the only frustrating control deck, which is as cancerous as aggro IMO, is Priest. You know you're wasting 40 minutes against a Priest if you're not an aggro deck or MalyLock. Glad Priest doesn't see play because of how greedy decks it has.

I admit with enough play experience, players can see the combo coming miles away. 

Ugh. Priest. Yes. No matter you are winning or losing to one, it feels like such a grind. I always take a break after every match against priest, just so my brain can have a reboot.

My guess its that they both will present the Inspire mechanic but with opposite effects,something like:

Card 1 Inspire:restore 1 health to all characters
Card 2 Inspire:deal 1 damage to all characters

Just to give an example.

That way both of them can be used independently.And the characters choice it's for flavor.
