chances are this will be unread, but its been eating away at me, and while I may come off as jerkish, I simply must say it.
can everyone who is making custom cards please stop using MTG art? It may not happen a huge amount but it ticks me off every time. we have all the original artwork from the WoW tcg raid decks and many expansions to work with, there is no need to use art made with the purpose of being used for another game.
All arts are not from WOW. Why only MTG should be unused?
And, this is the first time I use a MTG art but it's not on the rules that we can't use them, if they are beautiful why not using them? And btw the art doesn't matter.
This is the first time I go to the final and all I see is people saying MTG ART ITS BAD, it irritate me too.
You could have said if you like the effect of the card or not but you just complain about the art. That's why I'm disappointed. It's like, no one care of the idea of the card, I just received 80% of "ho look, he take the picture of Jace from MTG" ...
yeah, like i said, I was going to come off as a jerk either way.
when you play a lot of any game you're going to get upset when anything from it is used out of context. I find there is nothing wrong with the card, I quite like cards with strange effects. The thing that bothers me the most is just the different styles. Hearthstone usually uses more cartoony look, such as Jesper Ejsing, Raymond Swanland, and Wayne Reynolds art. They all have a distinct look and have done art for both games. Using art from mtg cards of theirs makes a lot of sense as it looks like it could easily be from hearthstone. But art is a huge part of a card game and things like this stick out like a sore thumb.
I'm being overprotective. I should never have posted either of these.
You did well to post this. What was wrong I think is the form :P
We can notice some things quietly and this is more effective I think. But anyway, I won't use MTG art from now.
Good day !
Double Agent is awesome
Priest of Though Love is great, like all Cards for Priest. i want them all
Do you make your own art? It's hella hard to make your own art, and if you do that's great. What the card looks like doesn't matter in terms of effect. That's why golden/animated cards aren't allowed. The art could be obama and it doesn't matter, really.
A very few (or no one?) is making his own art.
The competition is about the effect of the card. If you find a picture that correspond at your design that's cool but like XCryogenesisx said, it doesn't matter.
I didn't notice Jace was a mindsculptor, that's more cool than I though, he is exactly what I wanted, someone who play with the mind :)
Ho and, if you want to see the original art of the card you like "desert crawler" just type in google image: "the heaven Necrophage" it comes from a game :P
Chosen of Elune looks pretty good ^^
Chosen of Elune is WAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY overpowered.
Turn 1. Chosen of Elune (gain 10 mana crystals) - Ragnaros the Firelord (or any other high cost minion) - kill Chosen of Elune with Living Roots (your opponent will start with 1 mana crystal)
Also Purifier is OP, compare it to Ironbeak Owl
Yeah, Chosen of Elune is stupidly broken in many ways.
You can also use it in an aggro deck, and play it then Wrath it around turn 5 against control. Bam, you've just reset the mana crystals of both players to turn zero, and control's lategame sits dead in their hand forever.
Shadow Cultist needs to become a card. Super anti aggro
Double agent is my fav.
chosen of elune is op it should be empty mana crystals i think?
Chosen of Elune is a bad design. It would be either an extremely overpowered (full crystals) or very very shitty (empty crystals) card.
Empty crystals version: You play the Chosen of Elune.
Opponents turn, he starts with 10 crystals filled at the beginning of turn. He plays a big minion (Ragnaros, for example) and kills your Chosen (mage pings him, rogue kills him with his weapon etc.)
It's your turn, you gain 1 mana crystal.
I don't know which one to vote one, Siddha, or Shadow Cultist.
I really like Siddha, quite balanced anti fatigue tool
FYI, the additional material for Exarch Jaraas :
I think Paladin already have strong legendary, unlike priest or rogue...
