NEW CLASS CONCEPT!!!: Frost Wielder

Frost Armor!

A big mechanic in this class is a Frost Armor. It works like normal Armor in the way that each armor blocks one damage, but whenever it is destroyed with combat damage, (a.k.a attacking, being attacked,) the character who destroyed it becomes Frozen. It always goes on top of normal Armor, (see example above,) and it is always destroyed before normal armor in the same way armor is destroyed before you take damage in health, even if you were to put on normal Armor afterward.

First of all, Frost Wielder uses weapons to take advantage of it's Frost armor if you Ice Over right before attacking, you can freeze a minion with your attack. In addition, the frost armor also does give some health so using weapons to kill minions should not be so dangerous for your hero's hp. Glacial Guardian is a classic staple for this class because it makes every Frost Armor worthwhile rather than the waste that occurs when one minion destroys more than one Frost Armor. It also improves the class's weapon capabilities. Will of the Cold is influenced greatly by Dota 2's hero Axe. It works sort-of like frost nova, but more situational because it can be stronger or weaker depending on the board state. It also of course has some combos with the other cards here because as seen with Misdirection , when a minion attacks your hero on your turn, it takes damage from weapons or temporary attack buffs your hero has.

New Keyword: Territorial

Territorial makes it so you opponent may some times find themselves in a pickle of choosing whether to attack into your hero's Frost Armor or attack into minions with Territorial who enjoy getting poked from time to time. They may even find themselves not even attacking at all! This pushes the control/tempo theme i'm looking for in this class.

The main goals of this class are either to win with control methods using big threats or with tempo minions. I'm worried that people will think that this class is just a better freeze mage, and that is not the case. first of all, I am not going to make many spells that can deal damage face. This is supposed to be a minion oriented class, so you can't simply be bursted down with spells. Also, these minions won't be incredibly difficult to remove like they might be with frost nova because Will of the Cold doesn't freeze all enemy minions if your opponent has a huge board, so some minions can still attack.

This class is either meant to control the early game and finish your opponent with big minions like Cavern Colossus or just play a whole bunch of tempo minions to win board presence!

Make sure to leave an upvote so I can keep submitting cards and developing this class!

 A powerful card that is bad if drawn. First of all, you can't run two Shadowforms, or else it won't work (unless you get a Shadowform in your mulligan which is unlikely and would lower the consistency of your deck if you ran two Shadowforms and this.) So the likelihood that you will get a 3 damage ping is low and the likelihood that you will keep a 3 damage ping for a while is even lower

Secondly, note that when you draw this it puts you out of any level of Shadowform (2 or 3),  so it can be a game changing topdeck (another possible addition to randuin wrynn?)

Also, unlike Shadowform, you don't have a choice when you want to use each hero power, you're just stuck with no heal for the start of the game.

Lastly, if you do get lucky enough to keep it in your mulligan, you are dragged down by the awful stat line and are basically playing down a card. 

Because of all these drawbacks, It is balanced but still has a very powerful effect. If you could start out the game with a 2 damage ping, you would have a much easier time dealing with small minions like Small-Time Buccaneer and Flame Imp. It's anti-aggro but might not be as powerful in certain matchups (for example; freeze mage because you dont have the heal that preists normally have.)

 A Powerful card that could actually make taunt warrior good. With one taunt, It's just a 6/6 that gives a taunt minion +2/+2. But, If you have two taunt minions, it gives them both +4/+4. Once you get to three or four taunts it starts to get really powerful, and can even be combined with Emperor Thaurisan and Protect the king to create a fun win condition for control warrior. 

Exponential!

Aethermancer class

An ability that support's the theme of card draw for this class and also aids the hero power. Can be applied to spells, weapons, and creatures.

                Casting Rune                                        Gifted Apprentice                                          Brainstorm

This card is meant to push the idea          Because this class uses many              This card is an important card for

of playing a lot of low cost spells in       spells, many of the minions in the         Aethermacer to help get it's draw

  one turn. I am also planning on           class are spell related. Also Gifted            Turns going. If used with other

making more runes for this class           Apprentice's spell damage works           small damage spells, it can make 

                  in the future.                            well with playing a lot small spells.                  you draw a lot of cards.

Aethermancer is a class who wins by playing a whole bunch of low curve removal spells (which casting rune helps with) and drawing a whole bunch of cards to replenish their hands. This effect of course also works well with your hero power to make it more relevant and not completely RNG based. Spell damage also takes a huge part in this class because of  the low cost removal (which I am planning on posting some of later.) Aethermancer also uses cards like brainstorm and runes like casting rune (I'm planning on making this a card type for the class, if only I could show more cards...) to make big turns. 

Cool addition for control decks that stops draw for you and your opponent temporarily. Super good vs. aggo and even has an application in a goons deck (and of course a mill deck because it basically doubles each player's draws when it dies.)

Another cool 7 mana 5/5 choose one ancient for druids but this one takes on a more aggressive aspect. It also rhymes with ancient of war and ancient of lore.

Silverback Patriarch loses some weight and gets playable!

Sort of like returning a minion to your hand and replaying it without paying its mana cost and without the battlecry. Kind of an undo-silence effect (kinda.) Removes buffs but not deathrattles taunt and divine shield, also heals if the minion is damaged. Also gives a minion divine shield if they lost it. 

A very expensive single target removal. Its power lies its strength against combo decks such as shudderwock shaman and cubelock. It can also be good at clearing  silver hand recruits vs even or odd paladin.

Sarsarun is a servant of Al'Akir. He is powerful, but reckless; enough to let your opponent see right into your plans. His see-through body and his inability to keep a secret is why they call him Sarsaraun the Transparent .

DRAGON WARRIOR

Dragon Warrior class is all about giant dragons, armored minion, expanding yor deck and playing powerfull cards for as little mana as possible (also weapons, but i don't have enough room for them). One of the best champions is Mougatar, a human that gained an ability to transform into dragon (I'm not posting this right now, maybe later). Hopefully he will get along with Deathwing :)

HERO POWER

This Hero Power change at the start of your next turn, after you use it. If you don't use it, then it stays unchanged. It is randomly chosen with which you start. About interactions, Sir Finley Mrrgglton wouldn't be able to discover two of these ot the same time. Also, if you would use Sir Finley Mrrgglton after you use your heropower it will not change at the start of your turn. And about Auctionmaster Beardo , it would refresh your heropower as another one.

NEW KEYWORD: DELAY

DELAY: (x) is a new keyword, that forbids you from playing specific cards until (x) turn. This allow haveing powerfull cards, with low cost and disable cheating cards out earlier. I think this is pretty skillfull mechanic, coz you can't play some cards on curve and just win game by playing 1 drop on 1st turn, 2 drop on 2nd turn and so on. This force you to think ahead. This also allow you to do combos easier.

NEW MECHANIC

I know this wasn't necessary, but i think this will work out fine. Anyway, now minions cam gain armor. This is like health points, but this can't be restored. This allow to give some intresting card mechanics.

EXAMPLE CARDS

ARMORED STORAGE - allows you to have some extra points of armor in control matches, and hopefully prevent you from dieing against agrro. This is pure combo card, so this make its powerlevel kind of low, but it is supposed to show how this mechanic might work.

NORTHFLAME DRAKE - idk what i'm supposed to say about this guy. It is self healing minion.

TIMOTHY, DRAGON SKULL - this guy is sneaky little fella and he helps you play your powerfull cards with delay earlier. I'm still not sure about rarity, bacause he is either powerfull epic, or crappy legendary.

ARMORED DRAKE - Big, strong dragon that is supposed to heal you for like 12 health? This is tottaly busted aginst aggro and priest, if you can survive to turn ten. He might be overpowered, but what is this class about? Thats right: giant, freakin' dragons.

PURPLE DRAKE - Well this is 4 mana 7/7, exactly what heathstone need, another one of these. But he have delay so this kind of mess up with playing him on curve.

NOTE

I do not own the rights to, nor did I create, any of it. All art used in these custom hearthstone cards was found on the internet. Additionally, all custom cards were made using the card generator at hearthcards.com.

Quote from Knetog >>

Pretty much looking for any feedback before I officially post it in submission.

Elemental Lich

Commander of the undead that have control over the elements. His army consist of weak/average minion which can be powered with his own power. While the Lich has access to several elements, they are also weak in their base form and heavily rely on spell damage.

                                          

                              

 

Herald is pretty straight forward as it already exist in the game with card such as Flame Leviathan but was left unused. In this class it's used in a way that you return cards in your deck for a constant use of the effect.

Shift acts like Battlecry. When you play a card, you are prompted a window whether or not you want to spend extra Mana Crystal to alter/buff the card played. For example, Shift (1) would mean you can choose to spend 1 extra Mana Crystal. Can only be applied once.

Composed Idol - One of the core card of the class which makes great use of Herald.

Riverpaw Contract - One of the many cards that is weak but greatly enhanced with the use of Spell Damage.

Resolute Fighter - A perfect example of how Herald can be used. You draw it and it becomes a normal 3-Mana 3/4 but if you return it to your deck, it will become a 3-Mana 4/5 the next time you draw it and so on.

Skeletal Battler - Simple minion which can be buffed to help in certain situation or if drawn late game for a better use.

Blazing Wand - The class use some weapon and this is one of them. With the spell cast, it's a 2-Mana 2/3 Weapon but with the use of Spell Damage, you effectively increase the damage you deal with your weapon. It is also great against low health minion with Divine Shield. 

 

 

There are a few comments I have:

1. Your hero power seems very underpowered to me, even if you have many synergies with it in your class
2. In the description of the Shift keyword, it should be Mana Crystals, not Mana Crystal
3. Blazing wand seems too powerful, but that's not too bad. The main problem is that it goes against the phase 1 rule that your cards can't make any unique tokens unless they are the token(s) made by your hero power.

A strong card against control and combo decks. A card that can win you an aggro endgame by getting rid of your opponent's good topdecks. A card that generally sucks against midrange. A card that could bring back mill rogue. 

What more could you want in a card?

The downside is that your opponent gets a card. The upside is possibly being able to burn their important cards. 

My card for this week is a card that would be very good for the priest and paladin classes. These classes usually can make a minion pretty big by buffing it, and in that situation, this card would be very strong. On the other hand, if you don't have a board, your opponent can play around this card by only playing big minions. In my opinion, having cards like this which don't involve RNG and encourage your opponent to play around them is good for the game.

A draw card that uses elementals as a downside. Also has some good synergy with The Caverns Below.

Novice Engineer draws a card when it's played. Loot Hoarder draws a card when it dies. But what if you could draw a card BEFORE the minion is even drawn? This card does just that. And although it's stat line seems powerful for its effect, just remember that:

1.It's a legendary

2. It must be in a highlander deck

3. It is an understatted minion that does nothing when played. It's actually better if you don't draw it!

Overall, a great card for any deck; As many people know, card advantage like this can change the game. It is especially useful in handlock for that extra card and could even be used in a singleton aggro list! Not to mention the countless other decks it could fit into.
