The Artist

The artist class focuses on minion buffs, especially with adjacence and positioning rearrangement. Using certain mechanics, minions may attack multiple times per turn.

Notable Mechanics (Coming Soon)

1. Adjacent/Board buffs
2. Positioning Rearrangement
3. Spells and abilities that summon more minions - Notably 0/4 Animations
4. Tales (That draw cards in various ways)
5. Musical Instruments as weapons
6. Dance - A psudowindfury
7. 11-Cost cards
8. Dragon Synergy

Story

   Cyr skips along the icy plains, bright blue eyes twinkling. She looks around, wondering. Where was she? When was she? Where were the Knight Radiant’s lightweavers and Nix, her spren? Storms! Even the gods are different! Cyr looks around, slightly fearful, yet curious. Nix had forementioned a possible danger when she’d fallen through the portal.
   Suddenly, Cyr hears a soft melody. She whirls, looking for a source. In an instant, two animations spring to life. The voice grows louder. Siren? No, it wasn’t quite right. Cyr completes the spin whilst summoning a few of her friends. A series of stone golems spring from the ground. An entire army of frivolous musicians and jovial dancers from various realms appear.. Within ten heartbeats, the field is covered in an ensemble of flying lights and flashing steel.
   “Cyr?” A small voice calls, “That is quite the overkill.”
   “Nixolium, I swear, you’re no better than Wit at times”
   In an instant, the parade vanishes. Golems crumble to dust. Illusions fade to nothingness. All the various confused artists return to their respective realms. A glowing boy wreathed in a cloak of flames prances around Cyr.
   “So where did Odium trap us?”
   “The better question is... How are you not cold in that dress?”
   “It looks pretty. Comfort comes second-”
   “It’s twenty below! At least put cover your back!”
   Cyr sighs. Nix was being annoying again. “One more irrelevant comment and I feed you to Ninian.”
   Nix’s voice suddenly rises a few octaves at the mention of the manakete. “Sorry miss. We’re in Azeroth. One of Chaos’s realms.”
   “Shards, I hate her. Probably one of the worse goddesses to exist.” Rage flashed across Cyr’s normally optimistic face.
   “Come, quit feeling dismal. There’s a tavern up ahead. There’d be people you can… well... persuade… to work for you.”
   Cyr ignores the sardonic tone and looks ahead. Surely enough, a small hut stood a few fathoms away.
   “A tavern in the middle of nowhere?”
   Nix just shrugs. The two bound over anyway.
   “Hearthstone,” Cyr reads from the signpost, “Curious indeed.”
   Cyr walks in to the joyous shouting of “Welcome to the inn, friend”.
To be continued... (Yes, I've already written the next section)

Keyword

This is pretty simple. It's already seen in Dire Wolf Alpha, Wee Spellstopper, and Flametongue Totem.

The first card here would become the second using the keyword Spur.

Update: Removing Maddening Tale since Cogito says Carve doesn't count as an elemental ;-;

Cyr Caelus: Cyr is an artist from Rahsor, a faraway unknown plane. Somehow, she finds herself in an unidentified place in Azeroth with little but her magical affinity and a performer's personality. She certainly knows how to put on one heck of a show to distract, manipulate, and "convince" her opponents. Upon arrival to Azeroth, she finds a mysterious world-hopping tavern full of grand mysteries and frivolous adventure.

Compose: This is similar to a weaker version of Preparation. It can stack and be transferred through turns. This is especially useful when casting some of the incoming 11-cost cards.

Dance: Give a minion Windfury for a turn. And funny wording to avoid keywords in basic. Fair enough. Wait a moment. It says an additional time… So my windfury minions can attack 3 times? Actually 4 if I run two copies of it? Wait no! More if I get in Ninian, Destiny Dancer! Oh. You don’t know who Ninian is yet. Right… Uhh… You’ll have to wait until the next round. Sorry.

Avid Artist: Simple. Sweet. Dire Wolf Alpha but not Dire Wolf Alpha. This showcases a simple example of the keyword Spur.

Maddening Tale: The creator must have gone crazy. And perhaps she truly has. (She as in Cyr, not Nix) This is one of a series of “Tales” that allow you to draw cards. A few future plans include “Great Tale”, “Illustrive Tale”, “Legendary Tale”, and “Comedic Tale”. What are they? You’ll find out as we continue through this competition.

Carve: So why isn’t this just a 3/3 with adapt? Well, artists don’t just summon elementals from nothingness. We have to make them ourselves. By uplifting stones, we can create golems. And based on how we carve them, these golems can have a variety of interesting abilities. There will be multiple other cards that have similar effects in summoning a minion using spells. I'll need to get legality rules on this card counting as an elemental though.

Dance with Death: Nice board clear. No... Nice finisher for your board? This card can be used with great versatility, providing a board clear for your opponent or giving yourself a few more points of damage to finish the game. One of the many examples of how Spur can be used.

Drakonid Lightweaver: A little guy trained by Cyr in the Lightweaving arcanics. There will be a lot more dragon synergy (and manaketes :D) throughout the set. In addition, these Animations have multiple ways to gain buffs, one of whom being through Avid Artist.

Feedback/comments are welcome. I have a few more cards prepared in advance (roughly 20), although I don't feel like the above best showcases things as a whole.

I don't have that much of a solid foundation, but I'd appreciate some feedback on what I'm working with so far.

The Inquisitor!

*Placeholder Hero

Token:

The Inquisitor is about taking extreme measures to seek justice, vengeance, or what have you, even if it means using the instruments of what you abhor against your enemies. The class has a focus on summoning, in different ways such as manipulating mana costs; and removing your opponent's threats effectively.

Here's what I've come up with so far.

While I was coming up with the idea for the class, I, for whatever reason, did not anticipate the keyword challenge going through, so it's still very much in the works, but here's what I'm thinking:

So if you play a Watch card where its Cost is increased, it will repeat an effect, once for each Crystal you over-paid.

An example:

So, if you played this and she cost 7 mana, you would resurrect 2 friendly minions, all the way up to 5 at a Cost of 10.

**(Ignore the fact that Inquisitor Whitemane is a card from the same set)

A trouble with formatting that I have with this is that it really should be able to work as a Battlecry or Deathrattle, or any other trigger, but I'm not so sure how to phrase it, since it's close to Choose One or Combo, both of which replace Battlecries.

I don't mean to be shoving myself into a one-trick pony corner with these examples, but I feel they're the best to reflect what I've been thinking about.

Any thoughts?

Quote from Whammerist >>

 Here's what I've got so far -- this is my first custom class, so criticism is highly encouraged and appreciated! :)

THE BATTLEMANCER

The Battlemancer uses both magic and hand-to-hand to dispatch their foes in the most efficient ways possible. The class is based around combos between both combat skills and magic, and using these combos as both ways to gain tempo and ultimately dispatch your opponent. Your specialty is using your wide set of skills to gain the upper hand in combat, and doing so should feel very rewarding -- the class is built upon cards and combinations that require skill and setup to be used properly. The best way to show you my vision with this class is you provide you with some of the cards I've designed so far.

Spare Mana is similar to cards like Innervate and Counterfeit Coin, serving as a way to both cheat out cards in the early-game and assemble combos in the late-game. It's also a cheap spell that can be used to activate effects that rely on spells being played, like your Mana Golem or a Gadgetzan Auctioneer.

Amateur Alchemist is a nice early drop, able to both contest a board with its solid 1/3 stat line and possibly neutralize an enemy minion as well. However, the upside can very likely backfire if this card is included in aggressive decks, as once you do have control of the board it's likely the Battlecry will hit your own minions rather than your opponents.

The Harder They Fall is a hard removal spell similar in design to Shadow Word: Death, except it's conditional on its target having 5 or more Health rather than Attack. It's a solid removal spell fitting into the class themes with nice flavor included. Not much more to say.

Mana Golem is a solid mid-game drop that combines the bulk and combat abilities of a golem with elements of the arcane. While it has a decent stat line on its own, you're able to use spells to increase its Health and subsequently obtain value trades you might not be able to otherwise, or to survive possible incoming board clears like a Hellfire, Flamestrike, or Dragonfire Potion.

Last but certainly not least is Intimidation, allowing you to take control of an enemy minion for only 4 mana, provided it's at 2 or less Health. This card has many different applications depending on how you play and where you want to use it. You can steal a 3/2 from your opponent, maybe steal a damaged Northshire Cleric before your opponent can heal it back up again, or wait! If I trade my Mana Golem into his Cobalt Scalebane, I can steal it for myself to finish it off! It's a cool effect which allows and encourages many different lines of play.

Thank you so much for looking over my initial ideas for this class, and please comment with your thoughts. I hope I was able to convey the class identity I have in mind to you guys, and I hope you at least find some of these ideas interesting.

Quote from Maldoni >>

Hello everyone! :D

I've been working on a class the last few days, and i would love to hear your opinions on it.
So here it is.

---

THE CARETAKER!

The class is build on the idea of someone who takes care of others. That could be cute animals, orphans or even other defenseless creatures in the Warcraft universe such as Wisps and Lesser Elementals. For this reason, the class won't feature that many big minions, nor really any boardclears and direct damage, as it does not really feel that... Caring.

There is also a new Keyword:

HOW IT WORKS:

Whenever the Tame effect would occur, which could be as a Battlecry, Deathrattle or a static effect, one or more minions from your deck would be revealed, and any that cost less than the card that Tames, are put into the battlefield from your deck.

This effect obviously has a lot of variance, but is the most effective in a deck that revolves around the Mechanic.

Here is an example of a card with Tame.

Whenever you would attack your opponent with this minion, a minion from your deck would be revealed, and if it cost less than this card. 
(2, or less mana) Then it would be put from your deck into the battlefield.

Also a question for the moderators.

Would it be acceptable to make a new race for the class, that includes a few already existing cards?
I was thinking about making an Ethereal class, with spirits and Wisps and that kind.

PS: I know the colorschemes are a mess. Also Hearthcards mentioned a name for the guy that made the "Dragonkin" class colors as a guy named Technician, and i recall seeing that name here before. So thanks to you if you made it :D

And at last, a rainbow :D

Any general opinions on this?

I think I've seen some similar ideas but nothing exactly like this, let me know if it's too close to anything.

The idea would be you swap heroes — that is, portrait, weapon, and power — but it's an ongoing effect so it ends if the minion dies, to get around the problem of it being un-interactive.

Would be mostly just a weird tech card I guess. Any thoughts?

Alright, so here's what I'm working with so far

The new Keyword:

Kind of like Adapt, there are five different Invocations to choose from:

 There's meant to be a pretty heavy focus on Hero Power interaction for one of the aspects of the set

Another idea I'm working with is introducing new weapon types, Daggers and Bows. Some shoddily photoshopped examples of existing weapons:

My concern with this is that they're pretty much limited to Rogue and Hunter respectively. Each weapon class could have a unique weapon type, but I feel like that would make the point of the tribes kind of redundant and take away from the theme. Maybe there's something else I come up with.

I had the idea of Off-Hand weapons that would replace your Hero Power if you have a weapon equipped, and you would activate your Hero Power to attack with it, but it got kind of too complex, and thematically only so many of the weapon classes really use off-hands, unless I wanted to make shields or something, which just added more complications.

Anyway, what I have for example cards for the showcase:

I haven't really come up with something for the neutral slot. I'd think a small (probably 1-mana) minion with something like "Battlecry: Invoke" would make sense as another example of the new keyword, but it's already pretty close to the legendary and I'm not sure if it should be so accessible to be put on a cheap body.

Either way, looking to hear what you guys think. Thanks for any feedback.

Quote from Vilegloom >>

I've personally have had a tough time trying to figure out mechanics for a full expansion. Took me some time, but here's me taking shot at it.

RAIDERS OF ULDUM

A city of wonders hidden away for eons by the everlasting sands of the desert, Uldum hides many secrets itself. From the enigmatic, stone-skinned Tol'vir, to the ancient temples bearing riches beyond imagining. Some of these riches come in the form of Relics.

Relics work similarly to weapons. They take up the weapon slot, meaning you can only use either a Relic or weapon at a time. Relics, however, do not offer an offensive ability nor count as a weapon. They work passively, and last a number of turns before wearing out. 

These Relics have also caught the eye of many interested... businesspeople. From all over the world raiders have come to claim the prizes of Uldum for their own. To do this however, they will have to overcome the many obstacles that may appear, such as the four Constructs.

  

There are four Constructs hidden away in the Halls of Origination. One of them is the Construct of Magic known as Isiset. All Constructs offer a different playstyle. In the case of Isiset, her and her followers may lack strength, but they make up in firepower; boosting the power of spells permanently to deliver a devastating blow.

Raiders have their Resources as well, though. Rogues use Gold Coins to "buy" their way to the top. Holding the Gold Coins grant the access to not only Combo triggering, but also triggering effects of different cards. For example: 

      

Not showcasing these in the actual submission, this is just to give a broader idea.

Token Gold Coin: 

 (Maybe I should raise the cost by 1)

In the end, there is no better feeling than uncovering the many hidden treasures that lie in the city.

When said card is drawn, Loot will come to effect. Meaning that if the card is pulled out of the deck or discovered, the effect won't trigger. However, when they are drawn the effect will be much more powerful.

So, what did you guys think? Feedback is appreciated. I have other mechanics planned, like Hunters and Druid using token Scarab-minion synergy and Elementals, among others I'm still developing.

Edit: Obviousy balance is not the main priority here, just showcasing the mechanics. I'll rebalance them in due time. 

Bump. May I get some feedback ? :/

 

Quote from Wishmaster333 >>

Oh damn, this thread really blew up while I was busy. Finally had some time today to post my revisions.I know it's late in the game to bring up a new keyword, but I always wanted to use it so here we go.Really would love to hear y'alls feedback on it. I thought it would fit Duskwood with the amount of worgen and undead, it really could be flavorful. I did sort of pull this from MTG.  Either way, let's get on with the show.I know, I know the new legendary is a class card, but it's so cool I had to show it. Besides, I'm unsure how to balance it.

My expansion, The Depths of Duskwood, brings you to the dark heart of the southern Eastern Kingdoms where many mysterious and treacherous creatures lurk around every corner. Ghouls, Worgen, Ogres, Ghosts, and more hide in the harsh land known as Duskwood. To live here you must be willing to play by their rules. A new Keyword Transform and some old favorites like Deathrattle and Poisonous help you battle the horrors of Duskwood.

 

Tokens:

 

Transform can really be any criteria, whether it be number of spells cast, certain damage amounts, etc. I think it's a rather flexible, but fair new keyword that won't impose on the designs of Hearthstone. I really think Gravedigger is just sort of expected for Rogue at this point, given their classes push towards more cards that aren't theirs. Plagued Ghoul is just a good 3 drop. Forlorn Soul is here as a staple of the set to finally give us a decent neutral silence. I know, Silence is powerful but there are a ton of other powerful cards as well, I don't think it's out of place in Hearthstone as it is now, let alone my own set. Protectorate Sven I was a little unsure how to balance. I probably need a tuning pass on him, but I'm throwing him out here anyway to see what y'all think. Now I guess I need to scroll back and see if anyone else still needs some help or ideas thrown around.

 

Quote from FunPolice749 >>

Alright just a dump of ideas that I thought up tonight. 

Exapansion is Legion based and deals with many demon and a new mechanic Fel Crystals.

Here's some things I got so far:

Needs rewording I know just don't know the best wording yet.

Still need to make up Illidan's weapon choices.

And hopefully these cards show the new feature of the expansion somewhat good. Any feedback is welcome.

Quote from Livienna >>

@Mewdrops thanks for your thoughts. Ughhhh, Gruul. Sigh. Well, by making it a keyword, the idea here is that minions with Growth will have more going on than just the growth effect, making them more of a threat, often. I like your idea for Mithra, thanks! Also, in terms of them being one-dimensional keywords... yeah. I mean, they're kind of like Taunt, Charge, Windfury, etc... they're all boring on their own but can make for interesting synergies.

Here are a few more ideas.

An unusual warmth has settled over the wintery landscapes of Azeroth...

From Northrend to Winterspring, snow is melting, flowers are blooming, and dormant beings are awakening.

Yes, the rumors are true: SPRING IS COMING. 

Flavor: "The Great Thaw" expansion is all about the clash of Winter and Spring. We have Frostsabers, Ice Elementals, and Avalanches, as well as Forest Spirits, Flowery Glades, and Woodland Creatures. The Hourglass watermark signifies both the passing of time as the lands shift from winter to spring, and the benefits players get from taking their time in games (see below).

Mechanics: A big push in this expansion is to slow down individual games and reward players for pushing value rather than tempo. In other words, this expansion seeks a less aggressive meta game. Specific mechanics include: incentives to hold cards in your hand, minions that go Dormant (as introduced by Sherazin, Corpse Flower), and three new keywords (but really two) - Chill, Warm, and Elusive (the Faerie Dragon effect). Also, some classes will have specific mechanical focuses, to be revealed later.

                 

Keyword explanations under spoiler:

Chill - Chilled minions have a shimmering light blue mist surrounding their token. The Chill damage takes place at the end of each player's turn, so if you Chill an enemy minion, it's like dealing it 1 damage, and another 1 at the end of their turn. It keeps going, but this mechanic encourages trading; it's not often that a Chilled minion will last long enough on board to accumulate a ton of damage from the Chill effect.

Warm - An example of this currently in the game is Shifter Zerus (although he would keep his text for flavor reasons, similar to how Totemic Slam was not changed to Discover when LoE was released). Like Zerus, your opponent will not see the trigger take place. Most Warm effects encourage you to hold cards in your hand, however some are still stuck in winter - and will lose value as they Warm (as with Kalecgos below!).

Elusive - I know Brode said they do not intend to make this a keyword as it would be too confusing for new players, but hey this is just for fun and none of US are new players... so yeah. basically, I WANT THAT TEXT SPACE!!! xD

 

Phase One Cards:

Blossoming Nymph - This nymph is thrilled about the warming lands, and grows tougher with each passing turn. She is a basic example of the Warm keyword in action.

Greater Wind Spirit - A spirit borne of the winter, this guy starts worse than even a Wisp. But with a quick self-heal, the spirit grows and changes, and becomes a burly 3/4 for 3 mana (of course, you get the heal as well!). Perfect for turn one when you don't have a turn 2 play, and a nice example of the design space opened up with the Dormant mechanic.

Chilling Gaze - Mage's first alternate hero power! Ping, meet uber-ping! It can't go face, but it's certainly value-tastic. Just wait until you see the full Mage set in Phase Two to see Chill synergy in action.

Kalecgos - Leader of the Blue Dragonflight in Winterspring, Kalecgos is one of those who is determinedly unhappy about The Great Thaw. His Arcane Powers are great, yes, but the Warmth is causing him discomfort. Since he is a former servant of Malygos, I decided to give him good spell damage with some major Elusive protection (Polymorph can't save you now, Pavel mage!!). It's a strong card, thus the Warm drawback. Let's be honest though... even if you play this guy with low attack, he's still gonna do some work via his spell damage.

 

I'm gonna be honest, I don't really like Chill and Warm. They seem kinda boring and their names don't seem to have any connection to what they do. Chill, first of all, sounds too similar to Freeze. And the effect isn't worth introducing a keyword. Dealing 1 damage to a minion at the end of every turn isn't a good effect, and I can't see anyone getting excited about it being added to the game. Warm is a better keyword, but it doesn't make sense either. It also isn't a great keyword. The game is too fast to have a bunch of cards that you want to keep in your hand. Warm anti-synergizes with itself because of that. It's also been a real hit-or-miss, with Bolvar Fordragon being terrible. 

Thanks so much for your review. As you're the CCC winner, I greatly value your insight. I've been thinking about this all morning, and I don't know if I have the creative energy to rethink the expansion. I quite like Chill... even if its not the strongest of mechanics, it'll be costed that way. I get your point of it feeling too close to Freeze... hmmm. So maybe not. Well, I think changing Warm could be a good move. Your point about Bolvar is solid. I just have to come up with a spring-themed keyword xD I'll brainstorm some ideas here...

     

So I came up with this Growth/Decay concept... it fits the flavor of the expansion well, and I think it's a decent mechanic. It still has that "slow" aspect to it... Mithra is basically a must-kill 5 mana 5/5, and the Iceshard dude is a 6 mana 4/6 (by the time it gets to attack) with a strong Freeze effect.

So yeah... would love to know your thoughts! And anyone else's if they feel like chiming in!!! 

 I may be in the minority here, but I think the Chill and Warm keywords are really good. The Warm keyword leads to some interesting decisions. Do I play this minion now? Or do I leave it in my hand for more value? Chill is also something that you can't write out on the card very well. Battlecry: Give a minion "deal 1 damage to this minion at the end of each player's turn," sounds like a mouthful. It saves a lot of text space and makes it easier to understand, which is exactly what keywords are supposed to do. Yes, they could have slightly different names, but I like the concept better than decay and growth.

OK, so I have a general idea of my expansion:

Rebuilding the Outland

Flavor: After an invasion of the Burning Legion, leaders from both Alliance and Horde are now in the process of rebuilding this forsaken place into something more hospitable. Expect to see a lot of Draenei, Elves, Ogres, Orcs, Arakkoa, Elementals along with a few returning members of the Explorers League and their Horde friendnemy the Reliquary competing with one another.

Mechanic: A big push for this expansion is decision making. Many of the mechanic reward planning ahead to get maximum value for the player with the most in-depth decision making skill

Keywords:

   

• Shaping: The creatures at the Outland along with the people who come to rebuild the place are highly unstable. All of them are capable to Shape themselves or others into something else. Each turn the card is in your hand, their shape becomes more unstable to the point of a certain time, they will transform into a different form. When you hover to the card, it will show the turns remain for card to transform. For example, if a card has Shaping (2), at the start of your next turn it will show as Shaping (1) on the card and when you hover onto it. Shaping allows more flexibility in how to build your deck as minions with Shaping can be used both as their original form or their transformed form.
• Study: To rebuild something, you first must understand it! The Study mechanic is introduced in this expansion as the Explorer's League and the Reliquary study the local creatures to have a better knowledge on how to understand them in order to rebuild this broken land. Similar but yet different in many ways to the Shaping mechanic, Study allows you more potency in your card in exchange for delay yourselves from playing them. For graphic, it is similar to Shaping in showing how many turns left with the different is that when the Study number reach 0, the effect will add on or replace the former effect.
• Another mechanic that will be introduced in this expansion is Side Quest: This mechanic is similar in many ways to the Quest: They present an objective for the players to complete. However, unlike Quests, they do NOT start in your opening hand. Most of the Side Quests are much easier to complete but their reward are also less game-winning and permanent. They cost 2 mana and can also be completed alongside your main Quest but, like Secret, you can only have 1 Side Quest with the same name at once. The good news is that they are Epic cards, which mean you can choose to include and complete two Side Quest in one game!
• New Tribe! The Plants are now officially a Tribe for this expansion. A list of Plant that already existed in Hearthstone can be seen here. The Plants tribe cards are a diverse bunch and has various effect ranging from getting value, single target removal, big Taunt and summoning tokens. For example: Vilespine Slayer, Curious Glimmerroot, Ancient of Lore and Living Mana.

Sample Cards:

Reward:

Token:

Quote from Shatterstar1998 >>

Finley can swap in for Brann.

 Bump my thread. I decided to made Cabal Apprentice as one of the showcase card and design another Side Quest and post to see whether or not it can replace the Druid Side Quest:

Quote from michalsuch429 >>

Is there any limit for the amount of token cards in the competition? I have a keyword Idea that requires around 20 tokens to work properly, I'm not sure if it's not too much.

The keyword would be Archive. I think that the best way to explain this keyword is to show the cards and explain what they do simaltenously.

Firstly the tokens. There are 3 types of token cards. Scrolls, Books and Artifacts. All of these have "Archive: do something" on them. You can get Scrolls using different cards from the expansion. When you have 2 copies of the same scroll in your hand they merge and create a Book card in your hand. Once you have 2 books of the same type, they merge and create an Artifact in your hand. When you play "Archive: do something" card, you get to discover a new scroll. Here is the tokens' initial concept:

x2=x2=

x2=x2=

x2=x2=

x2=x2=

x2=x2=

x2=x2=

(this is a scroll you can discover in order to remove a scroll card from your hand)

 

 

 To use the scrolls, books and artifacts you need special cards with "Use your Archives". If you can't activate the scrolls, they do nothing by themselves (except for the Corrupted Files). When you "Use your Archives", you activate all scrolls, books and artifacts from your hand. Note that you can target only 1 character when using Archives, so you don't want to hold "Tome of Blessings" and "Scroll of Mischiev" at the same time for example.  Here are 2 examples of cards with Archive synergy. The first one is a generic neutral minion that adds scrolls to your hand and the second one is the end game legendary of Archive decks. There would be more scroll generators and activators obviously.

 

Is this mechanic any good? Can it be used in the expansion or are there too many tokens?

 While I think there isn't a limitation, it will turn off voters from voting your entries with so many tokens and it'll be annoying to play with and against since there are less chance of fishing the effect you want.

 

Quote from Demonxz95 >>

I've made some changes. Notably, Dark Matter Orbs are now called Void Orbs. Darksayer also has some new, better artwork (I know I've had people suggest to change it, but I'm keeping it as is for now, for flavor purposes).

Skalvar's Tokens

So, I'd like to see how people think of these changes, as well as what I should change amongst the cards or the showcase.

I don't know if I'd be able to keep up with this competition but I did come up with an idea for a new mechanic, before I look over some other posts later:

Thought about doing something more simple like Spare Parts, as well as general liking Hero Power interactions

And the Invocations:

Obviously not completely finish. Also unsure if there should be more than three choices. It makes it more diverse but then there's more RNG, unless you choose between 5 or something like that. Also debating the cost of the powers and value of the effects.

For a legendary, it got me thinking I could do something like this:

Let me know what you think!

Quote from Brooknt >>

Basic Set done! yay!

Basic: 

 

 Please leave comments if u dont mind

Hey, super cool thread! I was planning on finishing, and more importantly, fine-tuning my class since I enjoyed the competition so much (looking forward to that finale!) I have been somewhat busier and it would appear deadlines are the best motivation, but I'm working on it!

Quote from thepowrofcheese >>

Thanks @SoulshifterX and @nobravery. Those are the typical reactions I get with my submissions!

For Prolong Indefinitely (thanks for the spelling fix!) it can be compared to hard removal like Assassinate, so it might need to cost 5 or more. We'll see what others think. Fatesplitter is set this way so it's harder to get infinite Duplicates. Or it is as long as it doesn't trigger the secret itself. Does Mad Scientist trigger a Duplicate it draws from your deck? Maybe someone would know how that all works out.

Id also like feedback for my Fatigue aoe, End Times.

The first was my original idea, but I worry about stacking Fatigue cards for the opponent too fast. There are two other Fatigue makers: Murozond which I posted before (WotOG legendary, can post again if needed) and Time Keeper from TGT. I'm also unsure of the cost.

 Hmmmm. I mostly like this. I feel like the wording is off but I'm not sure why. Maybe it should be "Deal your weapon's attack as damage to an enemy character" or simply "Deal your weapon's attack as damage"... this also feels more like a rare effect than an epic effect. Seems balanced!

 I based the wording on Blade Flurry. Guess I'll change the rarity too.

Hemet is super weak, if you hit the conditional (turn 8 in hunter, which is not ideal) then you only get 9/9 in stats for 8. I mean sure, the 6/6 is stealthed, but stealth really isnt that great

 Well, like father like son, right? But yeah, I was thinking that too. I'll think about it. The thing is I want Bangalash to be stronger than a Stranglethorn Tiger because in WoW Bangalash is supposed to be the toughest beast in STV.

If I may add some input, each animal companion is worth 4 mana, and Animal Companion costs 3 because which one you get is random, so I'd say it's fair for each sister to be really worth around 7 mana.

Normally charge is straightforwardly around 1 mana, but with Reckless Rocketeer it gets kinda weird at higher mana costs. Basically, there are many ways to go looking about this, each one putting it at a different cost. I think you can say a 5/5 (4.5) + Charge (1) + Draw a Card (1.5) = 7 mana (though you may get varying values for effects asking someone else). Another way could be Doomguard (5) - 2 Health (1) - Discard 2 (-2) + Blessing of Wisdom (1) = 7 mana. In short, looks good!

For Sylvanas, I thought of Wee Spellstopper, then going from adjacent minions to all friendly minions, Dire Wolf Alpha toRaid Leader, if you will, should be 1 mana. Wee Spellstopper has a 3-mana body for 4, so we can say this effect would be 2 mana all things considered. A 5/5 with taunt IMO is worth 5 mana, add 2 and you get 7 mana. On point as well.

Now, in defense of Alleria, Tirion Fordring is a nuts card that is pretty close. Without getting all math, I argue his deathrattle says the weapon is worth 1.5 mana, when it's closer to 7. Whether you want to balance against that is up to you. Looking at Doomhammer, or even Fool's Bane, I don't think Windfury actually has that much effect on the value of a weapon. Stranglethorn Tiger is a 5 mana 5/5 with Stealth, meaning you have 2 mana to work with, and in general, deathrattle effects save half a mana (Loot Hoarder -> Novice Engineer). So, you get what I'd call a 5 mana weapon for 2.5, which is a lot closer compared to Tirion. Of course, it's a lot stronger than the other two, but that's the precedent Hearthstone gives us.

I do really like this card though, theme and everything. It makes sense for a legendary spell, as well. Really cool!

Darn, wanted to change a card but I was in the middle of traveling. Never got a chance between posting and now.

Good luck to all!
