    In my opinion, Erader Diabolist is the best here. I wished there were more cards that used the Health creatively with multiples and the like, unlike simply whether it is less than or greater than some number. This card sticks out to me as a unique creatively designed submission.

    Murloc Enchanter

    Flavor Text: At least he no longer enchants his fellow Murlocs with enemy Fireballs...

    This has a lot of great synergy with Paladins, both with Murlocs and with the many buffing spells that Paladin has, such as Blessing of Wisdom, Blessing of Might, Hand of Protection, and even Seal of Champions or Blessing of Kings if the player is able to spend that much Mana. If the player has a decently sized board by turn 4 or 5 and can pull off a combo with a spell such as Blessing of Might, then this minion can be a game-changer. At the same time, the aforementioned cheap spells don't see much use, not even in Murloc decks, but this card could make them viable. Their lack of usefulness by themselves is what makes this card balanced, in my view.

    posted a message on What happens when you retire at 0/0 in arena...

    So, even though I stopped playing Hearthstone a long while back, my friend still plays it actively, and today after school I came over to his house. He had just shown me Noxious' "Ultimate Arena Drafting Guide," and this conversation ensued after he opened up HS...

    Him: "Oh, I drafted this Warlock arena run a few days ago..."

    Me: "Alright, play it, then."

    Him: "..."

    Me: "...? What?"

    Him: "Man, I don't want to play this deck... Alright, I'm retiring! Let's go! Noxious strat!"

    Me: "Wait, what? No, don't do that!"

    Him: "Hah! I've done it!"

    Me: "Alright, well... let's see what you get."

    *opens 30 gold and a Classic pack*

    Him: "Hah, I only lost 20 gold--"

    Me: "--and you got to draft too, which is your favorite part of playing Arena."

    Him: "Exactly! Value! All right, let's see what we get in this pack..."

    Me: "Hey, can I open it instead? I haven't played Hearthstone in a while, so..."

    Him: "Okay, here you go."

    Me: "Watch, I'll probably open up some really insane pack..."

    *clicks a card*

    Both: "WOOOAH!!!"

    Both: "..."

    *cue laughter*

    Me: "Oh my God, it would be..."

    Him: "Wait, wait, wait, keep going..."

    *clicks another card*

    Both: "WOAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!"

    Both: "..."

    *cue ROFL* (I actually rolled on the floor)

     

    That was probably the funniest Hearthstone moment I've ever experienced, long after I quit playing Hearthstone... Just wanted to share this. xD

    And for the record, he already owned a Lorewalker Cho... Now he's refusing to dust any of the three. Not now, at least.

    Why do Golden Legendaries cost 3200 Dust instead of 1600? Why do Golden Commons cost 400 instead of 200? Why do Golden Rares cost 800 instead of 400?

    Weirdest of all, why do Commons craft for 40 but Golden Commons dust for 50?

    We may never know the logic behind Blizzard's pricing.

    Keep it, as even though Shaman is bad, it's worth more than 400 Dust. Shaman could very well come back into the meta in the future.

    Flavor Text: This is one reason why you do NOT want everyone to get in here.

    This card can shut down Patron Warriors once they play their combo, though Handlock already has Hellfire and Shadowflame, the first of which is more efficient for 1 Mana less. However, Hellfire also hurts your own Hero. This card will easily shut down aggro decks like Tempo Mage and Zoolock with a full board clear, though against Face Hunter, you might not live very long even after playing it. Of course, in exchange for wiping out the entire board of an aggro deck, it is all but useless in control matchups. I think an overall great use for this card is just pure value in Arena, hence the reason why I made it a Rare even though I prefer my cards to be Epics or Legendaries. Also, I know how much everyone likes some more RNG. ;)

    Plus, the animation would look super cool.

    Why are there so many troll cards? Go Boom! especially. Hate them.

    As for the other cards, Life Imp is creative idea but seems to be extremely weak for 7 Mana (unless you Taunt it, then it becomes OP), so I didn't vote for it. I'm actually kind of sad after seeing the finalists because I have a bunch of custom cards in store for future usage in competitions, and one of them was a Paladin Epic - 6 Mana 6/1 - same effect as Durotan but with a Silver Hand Recruit, and another one was exactly the same as the Curator (I was trying to make a full set of cards with Immune). Oh, well. There are only so many possibilities in making cards.

    Eranikus is also pretty cool.

    posted a message on Waste Of Dust Crafting "Sleepers" Legendaries?

    Out of the five cards you mentioned in your OP, all of them are used rarely or practically never in Constructed. Cairne Bloodhoof offers great value but is just too vanilla; you'll only see it in Feign Death Hunter. The Black Knight is a tech card and probably the one of the five you'll want to end up crafting first as the meta can shift to a meta where it is useful. The others have effective niche uses within their own classes, Prophet Velen especially so for the OTK deck. Al'Akir the Windlord is only run in a few Shaman decks, and Shaman itself is practically gone from the meta. Edwin VanCleef can be good in Oil Rogue if that kind of card suits your playstyle, but it is far from necessary and easily replaceable.

    I've crafted Foe Reaper 4000, Troggzor the Earthinator, and Captain Greenskin, and I really regret doing so. Instead I could've had other more useful Legendaries like Cenarius, Tirion Fordring, Grommash Hellscream, and even Sneed's Old Shredder for the RNG lulz value.

    Then again, I don't miss those particularly as I mainly just play Mage.

    posted a message on Got Baron Geddon and 500 dust, shall I DE him and some other to make Leeroy Jenkins?

    Why in the world what you put Baron Geddon in Face Hunter and Midrange Pally? Any logic would easily tell you that Face Hunter and Midrange Pally are the worst two decks to put that card in.

    Leeroy Jenkins is pretty much all but useless, and has been ever since the nerf a long time. You can put it in Face Hunter, but by no means is it necessary. Many Face Hunters make Legend without it.

    Baron Geddon is very rarely run in this meta, but Leeroy Jenkins is even worse. I say, if you really want to dust him, wait until you have 1200 Dust. Then, craft some actual good Legendary like Tirion Fordring or Sylvanas Windrunner.

    I just decided to be silly.

    7 mana, 7 characters long, 7 appears in the text.

     This is funny but it is also horrifically broken and overpowered yet it has more votes than any other submission.  Mods should probably pull submissions that are obviously broken.

     We shouldn't really do that because people have different opinions about balance. One of the winners of season 1 was a card that I found highly unbalanced but it still won. It's up to the community.

    Sure, people have different opinions about balance, but this is pretty clearly just intended to be an absurdly overpowered trolling card.
