Custom Frenzy Cards

With the Weekly Card Design Competitions still taking a hiatus, I was wondering if you guys are interested in sharing ideas of how cards with the new Frenzy keyword might look. Maybe someone can even predict a card before the reveals hit :-)

So here's my take:

 

There's probably more flavor than power, but I like the idea of the new keyword being represented by a fierce bear mother protecting her young. It should also fit the focus on Beasts and midrange cards that we deduced from the Core cards, so I put it in Hunter even if Druid might have been a good place as well.

What do you think? I'm always grateful for feedback and curious about your own ideas for Frenzy.

  • I think they are absolutely correct in a sense that one-time effects are A LOT easier to balance and design for. I would say that for most classes, Frenzy will be even slower than Spellburst, but at the same time Frenzy could be easier to trigger, if the minion has enough health, since even a trade on the opponent's turn might trigger it. Mage could ping the minion, so im interested to see if they balanced around that.

    Pen Flinger could potentially become THE activator, if you would need/want to trigger the effect right away, and if you could follow it up with a spell, you could then use it for another Frenzy card. Might be too bothersome and slow, but its a possibility :)

      I would have to disagree somewhat. The augmerchants have really good synergy with frenzy as they also buff the card as well as activating frenzy.

        Sure, both can be activator. Pen Flinger can be used multiple times if you have many frenzy cards, while Augmerc can one time buff a rather important frenzy minion.

        And I wish there's another custom card competition. I mean, Fan Creation threads.

        EDIT. Last card added. Thanks for any feedback.

        That is true, and i was thinking about them when writing that, but Pen Flinger is just more versatile imho and you dont want too many situational cards in your deck. Pen Flinger can facilitate a lot in one card and can be used to go face, and more importantly be reused multiple times, saving deck space and technically creating card advantage. But yes, Augmerchants will have decent synergy with Frenzy as well.

  • Nice idea with the augmerchants! I'll keep that in mind when reveal season starts. Some feedback, even if it wasn't asked for:

    It's an iconic character and well worthy of a legendary. What troubles me is the that Garona actually steals your opponent's cards, which is unprecedented in Hearthstone as far as I know. If it would draw copies, that would be very flavorful and a good fit for Rogue. But outright stealing is way OP in my opinion. Think what could be done in Wild with Brann Bronzebeard and Shadowstep alone! I'm also one of those nitpicks that prefer using the correct watermark ;-)

    Very cool cards both of them, well done! I think I'd prefer Shadow Outlaw if this was a competition, but Light Archwarden is a really nice adaption of Horrendous Growth.

  • Here is my Frenzy card:
