Thanks everyone for your feedback. Now I'm gonna review the classes in the last 3 pages or so.

@Pircival

@Klipce

@SunnoxPL

@Shatterstar1998

@thepowrofcheese

@Demonxz95

@linkblade91

Whenever I tried to make this mechanic work as a tactical advantage, it ended up underpowered or unimpactful. I thought maybe enabling it to multiply burn could make it viable, but perhaps it ended up a little too powerful. Depends whether Freeze Mage could ever become a thing again in Standard.

Some quick reviews of what I've seen so far.

@CheeseEtc I prefer the Hunter card just because the other is too similar to Astral Communion.

@Demonxz95 I like Witch Hunter better. The game could benefit from effects like this and, while the Rogue card is good on its own, I think Coin/Miracle synergy is quite boring. Tbh so is discard synergy, just nothing can be done about it this time around.

@linkblade91 Warrior version has the best wording, best framing for the art and is probably the best class out of the two, but it could be neutral as well.

@BOOOOOOO... Too disruptive. Could change it to only discard and redraw 1 card - and alter stats accordingly - but then it would be just another Gnomeferatu.

I feel Goldfinger is kind of a poor design. With Auctioneer, you can draw your entire deck while turning some useless, more expensive cards into more mana to cast whatever you'd rather not turn into a coin and win the game.

Voted for Lathy, Turkeybag and Cogito.

@Shatterstar1998 Does it spawn the Lightwarden first, then kill the minion, or is it the other way around? In any case, I don't think this card is any good. It can kill many of your own minions - as Priests tend to play many high Health, low Attack minions - and basically does nothing against aggro, as it always replaces whatever it kills, and even worse, it restricts the use of your Hero Power.

@Noah_McGrath This is certainly not viable in any Control deck, and I suspect neither in Silence Priest. Normally that deck only runs a handful of big minions, spells to control the board and draw and Inner Fire combo.

@Xetrov Both Mage cards seem massively unfun to play against. Turn 1 they drop a gigantic minion you can't clear and you're screwed - and that happens with the second version too 'cus Mountain Giant is a card. The Paladin card looks strong but bland.

@Metamorphosis Auto-win versus Aggro. I don't like it.

@UndeadRebel13 This could be good on Zoo but I think it's too risky for combo. You're basically drawing thrice as fast, but you mill one third of whatever you draw, and potentially even more if you can't dump your hand, which probably wouldn't be a problem but who knows.

@Pryce_Permafrost That boss was so annoying. lol I dunno, the card seems ok. I don't like that the token has five lines of text. Maybe you could make it so that if you don't have a minion at a certain point in the game (the start of your turn or something like that), you take a fixed amount of damage?

@ffinderous The Burden is pretty much the same as mine, so I guess I like it, but the reward seems kinda crappy. By the time you can play the hero card, you already got steamrolled by most decks 'cus you're running lots of shitty cards.

@Turkeybag This restricts the use of your Hero Power significantly, as I imagine the deck that would benefit the most from this effect is not the kind that runs lots of minions nor does many proactive plays, especially early in the game.

@linkblade91 I don't know what to think of this. I have no idea what kind of deck you could build around it.

@Fortify Just too much RNG for this to be any good.

I finally thought of an effect for my card. I like how it ties in with the joke in the card's name and I think it has a lot of potential, just don't know if it's good enough to be viable. You'd need lots of 1-drops in a deck like this, I presume.

I have yet to change the token and add the dragon to the card frame, just didn't feel like doing it before I'm all set.

Love the theme. I'mma see what I have here already, but first, let's take a look at your cards.

@Hikarigami Tbh I didn't get the pun until you explained it, but I wouldn't say it's bad, just a bit bland. The card itself could be super broken.

@Shatterstar1998 Well, "spill the beans" is not really a pun, but an idiom, right? So I don't think you can go with that. The other card is fine, quite strong really. The art is a bit weird.

@Demonxz95 That name feels kinda lazy.

@Pumpkin03 The wording is fine but the card itself seems borderline useless.

@CecilHoshino I like the Mech better, both the effect and the name. The cycle spell is a bit too good for my taste.

@Giz4Gamer Kinda like the name. I wish you could make it damage the minion instead of changing Health (I think it would improve the flavor), but then it would be too similar to Toxic Arrow and severely limit its usage.

@Fortify I'd go with Egg-plosion! 'cus Trigger Happy is too similar to Forbidden Flame (but better) and there's no pun in the Warrior card name. And maybe you could put the "eggs" in the plural so it sounds better, perhaps even change the effect a bit to reflect that.

@ffinderous I think it counts but I can't see the connection between the name and the effect.

@Wailor It's fucking stupid. I like it. And hate it at the same time.

Alright, this is what I got. EDIT: Added Omega Lull. It feels really unbalanced but I couldn't pass the opportunity.

The way it's worded, Van Hellscream can destroy everything from the Warlock spellstone to Gul'dan's Hero Power, or Kingsbane, or even a minion buffed with Unidentified Elixir. It's kinda overpowered in some very specific situations.

Inside the spoiler below are some other cards and the old version of Van Hellscream, which I think is significantly stronger but didn't really fit the flavor. Now he's a true vampire hunter.

This is NOT an Aggro card. It's a combo card, a win condition.

You need to play AT LEAST 3 Mechs to upgrade it ONCE, that is, if you can keep the first one alive and land both Magnetics on it. Being so hard to upgrade and weak to weapon removal more than compensate for the crazy burst potential with cards like Upgrade! and Heroic Strike.

Hey crasyherbz, thanks for the feedback. I think having to trigger Magnetic four times is kind of a steep cost as well, but I forgot to account for Omega Assembly. Still, I don't know if I should change it just yet.

Now some feedback for everyone, as usual.

@AngryChicken While I like the simplicity of the design, I think it's kinda bland. Really smart what you did to circumvent the artwork problem.

@Shatterstar1998 I think the card will be fine if you make it hatch after playing 2 dragons.

@Lathy I like the flavor but it seems somewhat difficult to utilize this effectively due to the upgrade requirements and the cost.

@Demonxz95 Maybe it could cost 1 more 'cus the Lifesteal seems really strong. Also, while it's interesting that the final form is a hero, I dunno if it's a good choice, especially with such a weird hero power and so much life gain. The art is really good as well (looks like it comes from one of those card games in which all creatures have some sort of upgraded form) but is there no third form that you can use with the hero?

@crasyherbz I like the idea of telling a story through the upgrades and how similar the first two artworks are. I don't really like the Deathrattle effect in the third form as I don't feel it makes a lot of sense. Maybe you could change the story so this guy gets resurrected as a Death Knight and change the effect accordingly?

@linkblade91 The card is fine as a Deathrattle, maybe even a bit too slow. I don't know if I like the third artwork since it looks the most different from the other two.

Dunno if this is balanced. I don't think it would work in Aggro Warrior but you could use it in a combo deck and I'm afraid it might be too good in that case.

Could have at least changed it to "Whenever a character is healed, deal 1 damage to an enemy minion." so it would guarantee a full clear and not be completely useless.

holy shit this is boring

Quote from Demonxz95 >>

Question: If you target Jinada on yourself, do you gain +2 Attack? Evasion is an okay keyword, but it has very limited design space.

As for the cards:

• Phasing Strike seems slightly weak at 1 mana, but it would be stronger than Moonfire if it were 0 (although Malygos wouldn't be able to use it).
• Chamber of Reflection is neat.
• Blurry Defender is okay, but the name is a bit weird.
• Reaving Kama is a really cool idea, but the effect only does anything against Priest.
• I'm unsure how Superposition works, or how the UI would handle it. Judging by the wording, it also looks like the effect stacks if you play more than 1, which only heightens the problem.

Quote from Zanywoop >>

@Freddocino 7 more minions makes all Resummon Legendaries unbalanced (N'Zoth, the Corruptor is the neutral that comes to mind), as neat as the concept is. The other parts of this class are cool, but you 100% cannot put Evasion on your hero. It would be too gamebreaking.

Quote from MurderyUnicorn >>

I like your Hero Power. Your cards also are well designed, however Phasing Strike is a bit weak. You can increase it's cost and damage to 2. I realy like Reaving Kama and Superposition, however the second one would never be real card.

Quote from CheeseEtc >>

General concept

•  This HP is identical to the previous class I've reviewed, though because I went backward, it means you came up with it first. Your wording is also better.
• Akama isn't really a sage?
• Evasion doesn't feel like a class keyword.

Individual cards

•  Alright cards overall
• Blurry Defender has a neutral border.
• Reaving Kama should be worded "Dealing damage to a minion with this permanently reduces Health instead"
• Superposition -> How would it work UI-wise? It would be a nightmare to code, but I guess we can let that slide since it is never going to be in the game.

Thanks for the responses!

• So for the hero and power: Akama's 'class' in wc3 was called "Elder Sage;" the class is kind of working backwards from his style -- some kind of shaman/rogue type fighter. And while I do think it would be cool if the HP could target the hero, I'm can't think of how that wouldn't be strictly better than Pounce as a HP.
• I'm getting the vibe Phasing Strike isn't particularly impressive, but the balance is intentional. The way I'm seeing it is that cards like Cobra Shot are balanced around the total damage they deal, so Phasing Strike dealing 1 and 1 gives you a one mana deal 2 spell, where the strength is in Spell Damage, but maybe it's a card to reconsider.
• I might just scrap Evasion. 
• I may need to find a way to make Reaving Kama less niche. I had a plan for a theme among weapons to be "If you attack a minion" condition, but the suggested wording is just more concise and the context isn't really there, and probably isn't that relevant anyway.
• And yeah, I don't think there's any way Superposition would ever be printed, but such are the liberties with fan cards, right? Especially for a legendary spell. I might reword it so that it reads something along the lines of "your board can hold 14 minions" although I'm not sure 14 is a good number; it's mostly for theme. Anyway, I've also made a quick ms paint mock-up since it seems like a good idea for presentation. A more polished one would hopefully be in the submission:

 Either way, I'll be coming with another iteration shortly.

More importantly, onto other classes! I'm just going to go backwards to page 8. Keep posting stuff so I can look it over!

Quote from Noah_McGrath >>

Bloodburner

Only reptilians can use the dangerous art of blood magic successfully. Since the user consumes his own blood and flesh for great power, their regenerative abilities are the only thing that lets them recover from Death's Door. Many however prefer the state of near-death, as it amplifies the strength of this terrible power. And the most popular, deadly, and easy to use form of blood magic is bloodburning, or igniting one's own veins to allow the manipulation of flames. How much will you sacrifice to fight your enemies?

I've decided these are the 5 cards that will represent my class in this stage of the contest:

Themes of the class:

• Self damage for power
• Spells benefit from low health or damage you
• Minions heal you and protect you from self damage
• Creates effects active during your opponent's turn, making them play around certain stuff (effects are known, they aren't secrets)
• Uses Hero's and minions's health as a resource/condition

Strengths/ Weaknesses:

• Powerful removal, but low stated minions
• benefits from low health/ easy to get bursted down
• Many minion removal options/few direct ways to damage the enemy hero

Here are some other cards i made:

Changes i need to make, but i will later as these aren't for the first stage:

• Fire master needs new art, as i now use it for the hero portrait;
• Blood for power should damage you more
• Enduring Sethrak should be either 0/4 and only gain attack, or 0/2 and gain both attack and health.

If you think any of my 5 selected cards have a problem, or you think one of my reserve cards deserves a spot in the first stage, let me know. i'll probably make one final showcase tomorrow where i'll show some ideas i've been cooking, but so far this is it for my class.This doesn't mean i won't listen to feedback. if you have a good reason, i'll change whatever you complained about.

Feedback is welcomed and encouraged!

 

 My class ^

I just did a brainstorming for a new keyword and this is what i came up with:

If you dealt 5 damage to yourself this turn, certain spells and minions gain bonuses. Your hero power does 2 to you, so you just need 3 damage from other cards (which means most self damaging cards would deal 3 to your hero).

The second version is this. Every turn, the first time your hero takes damage all cards who have this keyword trigger. It can happen on your turn or during your opponent's. Thus minions could be low stated but have dangerous effects, meaning the enemy must deal with them before they attack you.

The final option is just raising death's Door to 15 health or less, but i get the feeling people won't like a repeated keyword from last year.

Which one of these 3 do you think it's best? Should i just continue with what i already made or is this change necessary?

Quote from aaro54 >>

Some themes in the class are card draw and things that synergize with it, spell synergy, solid single-target removal but limited board clears, discard but often in a more controlled way than warlock.

Quote from waterwaIker >>

I came up with an idea for a DEMOLITIONIST class. It's in the middle-ground between a tinker and a sapper; basically, he's an inventor with a knack for making explosive devices and, while he takes a more careful approach to it than a sapper would, some of his inventions are still prone to fail in particularly dangerous ways.

Mechanically, this translates to one of the most prominent themes of the class, which is effects that have an inherent randomness to them, but you can control to a certain degree (mostly positional effects, but also other forms of limited RNG). Other frequent themes will be self-damage and disruption. Of course you'll see Mechs as well, but do not expect such an emphasis on that as you should from a Tinker class. Maybe in the future, if I feel I can't milk any more flavor out of bombs.

The idea is still in its early stages of development but it's coming to me quite easily. The class is turning out to be very control-y, with lots of damage-based removal. I thought Secrets might fit in as well.

This Hero Power has three possible outcomes: it can hit one minion if your opponent has an odd number of minions on board, two if it's even or the enemy face if he has no minions. I'm just gonna leave the cards I thought of so far so you can get a better grasp of the concept.

* Some insight into Jani, the Saurid: she (I think it's a she) is the Patron of Scavengers, the God of Garbage, so I thought an effect that would allow you to utilize your opponent's discarded resources would fit in really nice with her flavor, though maybe not with the overall flavor of the class.

The biggest issue I'm facing so far is coming up with good art for the cards. As you can see, some of them don't even have one yet. I'm probably gonna have to draw from sources other than WoW TCG artwork and fanart.

I will return later to review other people's works as well.

Quote from linkblade91 >>

Thanks :) I've tried out a couple card borders with some of the mods, and we agree that this one looks best:

I wasn't a fan originally - hence why I didn't start with that border - but I can say it's growing on me. I like that it has purple and blue together, both very appropriate for the Scourge and a Lich/Necromancer class.

Here are the other cards I plan to use as showcases, so they're all in one place (again):

Edit: Keep changing my mind on the last card. Can't nail my ideas down.

Quote from Pircival >>

Here's what I think I'll do for my showcase cards. All feedback is welcome.

Notes:

The Archaeologist is a weapons-based class; however, it also can support plenty of other archetypes, such as Armor, Discover, Deathrattle, and more in the future. Decay, which is a reasonably simple keyword, is used to allow the existence of passive aura weapons because of the way Decay weapons naturally lose Durability without attacking. Additionally, Decay can affect minions and heroes.

Current showcase cards:

Armor Loss and Armor Gain One aspect that makes the Archaeologist class unique is that it destroys your Armor for gain, in this case, to Discover a weapon.  Kobold Crafter is just one example of this type of synergy, and there will be more to come. Another thing to note is that Kobold Crafter Discovers, making it decent support for a future Discover archetype. Hallkeeper is amazing for slower weapons with high Durabilities, such as the ones shown below. It can extend the time of Decay weapons, and also is a great cheap source of Armor gain.

 

Deathrattles, Deathrattles, and more Deathrattles! Being a class that digs up artifacts after they're dead, it only makes sense that Archaeologist has Deathrattle synergy. Deathrattle decks in Archaeologist will be unique from other Deathrattle decks because Deathrattle minions are temporarily removed for turns at a time, instead of quickly dying and resurrecting, or just triggering their Deathrattles. One unique thing about Divvy Digger is that she benefits off of survivability - each of your turns she survives, she draws an extra card on death because the Deathrattle does stack indeed.	Decay Weapons The class's core mechanic, Decay, finally finds its way onto a card. Right from the get-go, Decay is already being used uniquely on Timesnipper. Because you don't want the weapon to break, the Decay actively works against you for a powerful weapon such as this. It's similar to Moat Lurker which that it temporarily removes a minion, but instead of the resurrection based only on a minion's destruction, it's based on time. Because it's cheaper than most removal options, it can also destroy your minions, and it doesn't sacrifice much tempo to trigger their Deathrattles.	The Big Guy Rejan, Arisen is very much a card to be afraid of. A potent threat on the board, it benefits a lot off of weapon removal, and your Aura weapons, which might make the opponent think twice before oozing. Rejan gives the class a way to close out games, by making the player do one of the things it does best, breaking weapons.

Hey I'm still working on my class, very happy of the feedback I got. I see that some people don't like the idea of a class that is separate from Warcraft but it's what I want to do, sorry if it's not to your taste. I'll try to use more diverse art as this seems to be a big concern.

Here are the cards I was thinking about for Phase 1, tell me what you think !

THE DETECTIVE - Solving mysteries with style

Basic infos on the class :

The class' Hero, Hero Power and Token card that comes up often.

 

I know most of them are Wild but I think it's ok since they exemplify the class' style. Here are 3 more that could make it instead :

Always happy to get more feedback.

Happy CCC to all !

Hi !

In the previous CCC i made a class based on game called Ori and the Blind Forest. Now it's time for another game, Hollow Knight :D

My class, 'The Bug' has synergy with hero attacking, aggro - midrange playstyle and with weak AoE/board clears. It uses armor and Taunt minions, but in a diffrent way than Warrior. Mainly to protect your hero, which is attacking a lot and loses much Health.

Example cards:

Feedback would be very appreciated. Thank you and good luck everyone !

Edit: I think I'll make more cards tommorow if concept turnes out to be good.

 

 Featuring new keyword, Fury !

And more cards:

There are going to be a lot of cards allowing your hero to attack (including weapons),  also you have hero power. 

Feedback still appreciated ! :D

 

 

New day, new ideas!

Firstly, weapons, maybe the most important thing in my class. They have either low attack or low durability because of the Hero power and cards giving hero attack (coming soon).

Examples:

Next feature will be cards that exchange Armor for other benefits. 

Also, reworked versions of Husk Guardian and Ice Crawler

==============>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 

===============>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 

I am very grateful for all previous opinions and feedbacks, which are always appreciated ! :)

 Hi again !

This time here are cards that interact with Armor, but in a diffrent way (it is not only a defensive tool)

Examples:

 

Basically, the idea is to exchange Armor for another benefits, whether you spend all your Armor or juts a few points. Also, there are examples of cards generating Armor. This creates another archetype (besides face-attacking/weapons and aggro/midrange) - Armor Bug (sounds stupid ik). With quest coming later, it is more defensive oriented archetype.

Slowly running out of time, but I want share my ideas for cards supporting aggro/midrange.

Changed Training:

========>>>>>>>> 

Feedback always welcome ! :)

Edit: Which version of the Ice Crawler is better in your opinion ?

    OR 

Quote from Shatterstar1998 >>

It seems like most people like Astromancer more. I myself feel more inspired by it as well as not being pain in the butt to find good cover art. So that's the class I think I will stick with:

• Mark of Scorpio has it cost raise from 1 to 2.
• Starscryer Sera #3 now damage all characters

Class: The Astromancer

Hero: Rishi Sterling (terrible name, I know)

With people of Azeroth sleeping or fighting, astronomers study the star, the sun, the moon and planet surrounding the world. They try their best to make prediction to the future based on the pattern. Unfortunately, let just say that their prediction often backfire to the people of Azeroth as much as it helps them.

Class Keyword:

That isn't to say that astromancers are completely wrong. With a little more patient, set up and studying intensely, their prediction have more chance of being useful!

This is a high RNG class that this keyword allows them to reduce the RNG (atleast temporarily) and plan their turn as well as risk / reward accordingly when they don't draw or can't afford to play the Gaze cards.

Gaze not only allows the class to play offensively by allow their damage to reliable hit the desirable target, they allow the class to play defensively since their card draw, minion buffs and healing are also pretty random. And yes, Gaze synergizes with the Ogres.

Gaze effects not only activate with your own random effect but also your opponent's random effect as well. Which mean that you can protect your minions from devastating effects like Deadly Shot or from Die, Insect! from mowing your important minions or life down too quickly.

Gaze only activate and disappear on ELIGIBLE targets only. If there is no eligible target, the random effect will activate with the target selection like normal. If minions with Gaze died from effect like Arcane Missiles mid-casting, the target selection will continue on as normal. If two or more target are Gazed, the target that were Gazed first will be the target for the random effect. If they are Gazed at the same time, the effect will randomly pick among the Gazed target.

Flavor:

• High RNG that is balanced by cards that grant Gaze.
• Reward planning ahead by anticipating their opponent's action. This is present in their Zodiac "Mark" cards as well as being a Secret class.
• Has somewhat unreliable card draw since they lack Gaze effects that target their hero.
• Gazing, exploring, recording and summoning the power of the star, planets, sun and moon.

Cards:

Demonstrate the random effect that is prevalent in this class. Meteor Shower is an okay card, but become extremely potent burst / removal when combine with a Gaze effect.

Weaponized Telescrope and Starscryer Sera are two examples of cards that grant and synergize with Gaze. They are allowed to have good body since they are basically vanilla minions if you don't have cards that follow up on their Gaze effect. I'm still deciding to which version of Sera to post

Mark of Scorpio and Mark of Leo are the "planning ahead" and disruption flavor of this class. Both of them reward anticipating what do you and your opponent plans and power turns are. Mark of Scorpio became more powerful if you can plan ahead which minions you plan to play in your next turn while Mark of Leo force your opponent into a difficult dilemma of either playing a minion with low health that will be killed instantly or make their minion smaller.

Other cards:

Quote from thepowrofcheese >>

Time for an update! Here's a few more cards and some explanations. Will do some reviews tomorrow.

My class is the Tinker, a crafty hero who is never satisfied with his creations. His hero power ensures he has a full hand and no end of token minions, and help fuels his unique keywork, Synchronize. 

Synchronize is similar to Combo, in that you get a bonus when the effect is triggered. When you play a Synchronize card, you generally want it to be your last that turn and you want it to use up all your Mana Crystals. Synchronize cards will be balanced more than just 'play this on-curve and win' which was the biggest concern from my previous feedback,

The class has a bunch of themes, which include:

• Mechs! 
• Weapons!
• 1-Cost Secrets!
• Disruption!
• Tokens! including replacing Hero Power tokens!
• Hand size!

I'm still picking my 5 cards for submission, so any direction with that would be great. Thanks for viewing!

Quote from Demonxz95 >>

Bump with second update.

• Icewielder now replaced by Rain of Ice in the showcase.
• Icewielder is also now a 3 mana 4/3 instead of a 2 mana 2/3.
• Flaming War Axe art and name changed (now called Flame Rune Sword).
• Hero has changed artwork. Original artwork will be used for the DK.
• Hero now has a name (Markus Dragonheart).
• New card: Conjured Arbiter.
• Tar Monster is now called Tar Fiend.

And I'm the only class in this entire competition without a new keyword.

Notes:

• Your right is your opponent's right as well. Otherwise stuff like the Dorothee Brawl wouldn't work. You may think an enemy Battlemage Hero Power will hit your left-most minion, but this isn't the case.
• If your opponent has no minions, the Hero Power will hit their hero. If they have one minion, it will hit that minion.

This competition is in many ways a combination of Mage and Warrior. Spell synergy, spells, AND Armor and weapons.

Current showcase cards:

Minion Position Matters Where you place your minions is the name of the game. One of the big things in Battlemage is minion placement. Stuff like the Hero Power and some of the cards interact with the placement of minions. When you play against Battlemage, it may be a good idea to think about where you place your minions. Tokens in particular as they are usually summoned to the far-right. But are you playing against someone smart enough to play around it? Not a problem. Play Arcane Force to move minions to the spot you want to combo with positioning cards, which this class will have a lot of. It's a cheap spell with Echo, so there's the spell synergy. The importance of minion positioning is upscaled with Split the Ground tenfold.

Some classes play spells. Some classes play with weapons... Battlemage plays with both! You're a caster who's not afraid to use his face. We've all heard of spell synergy and weapon synergy, but what about weapons with spell synergy. Flame Rune Sword does exactly that! Swing in with the sword, AND you gain a benefit to your spells.	Elements and Armor Burn it up, AND tank it up! In addition to the spells, you've also got the Armor and the synergy. But we've also got Elementals, which play a larger role in Un'Goro. Should Elemental Battlemage become a thing, Molten Chase is definitely a card to watch out for.	Freeze in place! But Battlemage isn't all about fire and burning. We've got a "Hailfire Peaks" situation going on, with fire AND frost. Freeze Battlemage is a much more natural archetype than Freeze Shaman, with some actually prior support. Rain of Ice is a Classic Freeze card for Battlemage that also plays into the positioning theme.

Additional cards:

I'm considering moving Purge of Flames to Classic with minion positioning now a prominent theme.

Magician Class - Updates + First Draft of Showcase Cards

Changes Made:

•  'Faceless Stunt Man' - Removed Deathrattle and added the effect to Battlecy.
•  'Street Magician' - Changed from 2/2/2 to 2/2/3.
•  'Splitting Image' - Changed from "Random card" to "Left-most card".
•  'Splitting Image' - Changed from Classic Set to Boomsday Set.
•  'Splitting Image' - Name changed to 'Magic Mirror'.

Still want some feedback on:

This new Discard mechanic that was suggested. Basically when you discard a card, it checks if it was a minion or a spell. Depending on the card that caused the discard it will have bonuses if the card was one of those. I feel like that makes discard a bit more usefull if you build your deck around it. For example you could run Exhibit B in a minion heavy control deck as a board-clear or Exhibit A in a spell-based Combo deck that wants to keep control of board.

First Showcase Draft

Take into account that this is the first draft and I wanted to get some opinions. I will also make more cards and depending on how well the discard mechanic is take for the class, there will be more or less of those cards. The reason I picked the cards I did is as follows:

• Tommy Kruz - Feel like a legendary should be featured and compared to the only other legendary I made (Lady Reine) this is much more   impactful and fits the other Classic Legendaries in the sense that it can turn the tides in your favor quite quickly.
• Bribed Dealer - This shows a very simple card that can put things at the back of your deck. Being simple and effective, I feel like it fits in the showcase cards.
• Magic Trick: Dissappear - Demonstrates that the class can deal with minions using single target spells.
• Science Show! - This not only shows that the class can also deal with many minions so it compliments the previous card, but it also demonstrates the Script Mechanic.
• Change Script - This demonstrates a way to proc your Scripts even after you already drew your card, so any Script cards don't become dead incase you want them for Combos.

The rest of the cards (Let me know if you feel like any of them are better to show in the showcase):

Whenever I tried to make this mechanic work as a tactical advantage, it ended up underpowered or unimpactful. I thought maybe enabling it to multiply burn could make it viable, but perhaps it ended up a little too powerful. Depends whether Freeze Mage could ever become a thing again in Standard.

Some quick reviews of what I've seen so far.

...

@linkblade91 Warrior version has the best wording, best framing for the art and is probably the best class out of the two, but it could be neutral as well.

 Thank you for the review. Without any additional help from Open the Waygate or whatever, Infinite Chromie can be a 16-damage burst with Fireball + Pyroblast on turn 10. Seems fairly reasonable for a three-card-combo, but that's also the bare minimum amount of effort. I think the card is cool - I could even see Blizzard making such a card - but I think it would follow with community angst pushing for a nerf.

Assuming it was supported well enough to be more than a meme combo/archetype, that is.

I've always hated discard and remove/burn, so this should be a fun week :/

They're all technically the same; it's just a question of the art's position, how to phrase the text, and class placement.

 I think the warrior one is the strongest, the art matches the red color scheme and it looks like it would fit nicely into a Tempo Dragon Warrior Deck. Nice signature too btw

...

And now for mine:

Maybe too strong? I didn't want to make it cost 4 or 5 because the potential downside is so large.

 Thanks for the review. I have to agree with Demon in-that Kobold Giant seems like a crazy one-up on Howlfiend. At least make it 4-mana for the meme lol :P

A few concepts off the bat, not as much flavor as I'd like but I think they're balanced.

 I completely agree with Demon's assessment. Spurious Hero allows you to "mana cheat" the more expensive Hero Powers out really early, which would be absolutely insane for the Warlock. However, beyond that scenario, it's too restricting to warrant use. The other two have the Gnomeferatu frustration of burning cards but heightened even more-so, especially because you get to choose.

Reviews:

 I've decided to scrap my old card since I couldn't make it work like I wanted it to, this is what I'm thinking now:

This lets you tutor out multiple copies of cards and sift through your deck at turbo speed, but it's hard to abuse since a.) you can't hold on to the card you draw for later and b.) you can't use it to combo off with Shudderwock since you lose the copies at the end of the turn. Any card in your hand that wasn't drawn either via mulligan or at the start of one of your turns is fair game for discard, so anything you Grumble/Zola/Brew back won't stay, along with Fire Fly tokens and Hagatha spells. One fun interaction is that based on the trigger order, discard from Fleeting Foresight would happen before draw from Mana Tide Totem/The Lich King, so you can still run some sneaky card draw at the end of your turn.
