CHEESE'S BATTLEGROUNDS EXPANSIONS (14/07/2021: New Uldum-based expansion)
GRIM ENCOUNTERS
A Hearthstone Battlegrounds expansion
Everyone, get in here and welcome to the Grim Guzzler! I'm Plugger Spazzing, the boss of this place, and from now on I'll be your host. Our beloved Bob unfortunately had to take a break for reasons totally unrelated to me (just ask my laywer). Six years ago, a horde of adventurers paying a children's card game ransacked my bar just for fun. But now, we're back in business! If you like beer, brawls, literal hot chicks, brawls, and getting in here, this is the place for you! Did I say brawls already? 'Cause that's important! Here's what we have in store today:
- 30 new minions!
- 4 new heroes!
- Frenzy : Something good came out of the Barrens after all! Patrons LOVE to hurt each other!
- Pints : What would the Grim Guzzler be without its Dark Iron Ale? For the very affordable price of 1 Coin, you can give a minion +3 Health!
- Dark Iron dwarfs : A brand new minion type! Dark Irons like three things: taking damage, having high Health, and BEER!
(Note: I started this before Quilboars were revealed, I didn't expect they would have such a similar mechanic)
THE SET
Emperor Thaurissan
Coren Direbrew
(only available when Dark Irons are present)
High Justice Grimstone
War Master Voone
Do note that Nagmara's availability is tied to the Demon tag and not the Dark Iron tag, due to the fact that she generates Pints herself so her effect isn't useless when DI are absent.
Do note that Nagmara's availability is tied to the Dark Iron tag and not the Elemental tag. Unlike Nagmara, Alemental would be useless without DIs.
- Faceless Taverngoer; Nomi, Kitchen Nightmare; Stasis Elemental; Steward of Time; and Deck Swabbie : Bob's Tavern is no longer Bob's so I had to update card texts to "the Tavern".
- Soul Juggler gains the Dark Iron tag. Do note that ot will still only appear when Demons are present.
- The Rat King gains a King of Dark Iron Dwarves HP.
PLUGGER SPAZZRING'S LINES
The new bartender isn't as nice as Bob...
Start of game
- Welcome to the Grim Guzzler. Please remember that we disclaim all liability if you get killed, maimed, poisoned, vaporized, corrupted, frozen, hexed, mind-controlled, banished into the Twisting Nether, or if your clothes get stained.
Random during preparation phase
- There is NO evil elemental lord under the Grim Guzzler! Any contrary statement constitutes libel and will be challenged into court!
- The arena? Ha! The Guzzler is where the REAL fighting happens!
- Yesterday there was this pyromancer chick here. She was freaking hot! Like, hotter than Ragnaros!
- Why hire any personnel when I can just summon it from the Twisting Nether and not pay them?
- A dwarf, an orc, and a tuskarr go into a bar...I forgot the rest of the joke.
- If you're looking for your 'Hand of Justice' or 'Savage Gladiator Chain' you're at the wrong place.
- I hope you're not like that Windsor guy who was here last week and completely ransacked the place for no reason at all!
- I swear, if I hear 'Everyone get in here' one more time, I'll set Phalanx on BERSERK mode!
- Our drinks are home-made! No conjured stuff!
- I asked Nagmara out yesterday. She told me 'I only see you as a master'. I got warlockzoned again!
- I really struggle to find new patrons. I'm starting to think that opening the bar inside an active volcano full of monsters might have something to do with it...
- I'm working on a brand new beer recipe whose main ingredient is LAVA! It will ROCK the entire beer industry!
- Toilets are on the left. Please leave them at least as dirty as when you found them.
- Today is a peaceful day at the bar. Only 10 people died....so far.
- If you think this place is shady, you've never been to Lion Pride's Inn in Goldshire...*shudders*
Random when buying minion
- That's the dumbest move I've ever seen.
- Are you seriously recruiting THAT idiot?
- What the...is there any logic behind that?
- I've met gnolls who take smarter decisions than you!
Goldenize a minion
- Ooh shiny!
- Hey, as the owner of this bar I'm entitled to a share of the benefit!
- Why does this Patron have a blue arrow on him? Huh.
Upgrade Tavern
- The VIP lounge is this way, <Sir/Madam>! [based on hero's gender]
Freeze minions
- How did you manage to freeze them?! We're literally inside of an active volcano! With lava everywhere!
- Alright, who messed up with the air conditioning again? We're freezing here!
Before fight
- BARFIGHT!
- Alright, try to not get killed.
- I don't want to look. Tell me when it's over!
- You're gonna get CRUSHED!
- Try to not destroy too much stuff please.
- [If 1st position] You're the king of the mountain! Beware of the envious!
- [If 1st position] You got them all! By any chance do you want to become my personal bodyguard?
After fight (win)
- Oh come on! I bet ten bucks on the other guy. Why did you do this to me?!
- Damn, you're violent! Did you just get out of jail or something?
- BTW we're hiring bouncers. Just sayin'.
After fight (lose)
- Damn, you really suck.
- Hahahaha! you're a loser!
- Don't try to blame bad RNG. You're just bad.
After game (promoting Tavern Ticket)
- *whispers* Hey! Psst! If you want to upgrade your performance, I've got stuff for you!

Ha, two battlegrounds projects within a day of each other, nice coincidence! I really really like this, changing Bob's Tavern (he will be missed) to the Grim Guzzler is such a cool idea. I like your Dark Iron tribe, it feels different enough to the Quillboars to be cool, and flavour wise its a whole other kettle of fish. Your heroes are cool and unique and I like the expansion of Frenzy as a mechanic within Battlegrounds. Great job!
BACK TO ULDUM
A Hearthstone Battlegrounds expansion
Welcome back to Uldum, adventurers! This place has been really calm since the League of Explorers left, but people here still need my services! By the way, do you remember the plagues Rafaam unleashed? It turns out they are very nice when you take the time to know them! Hey, why don't you take a seat? Are you interested by this camel? Come on! I really struggle to sell it.

Just a question. How do you add custom Spoiler names?
"Truth is in the shadows, waiting to be revealed by the light. But light only disperses the shadow." - Me
"If other people shared traits of those considered naive, the world would've become a better place." - Also me
In the HTML editor you do it like this:
No idea how to do it with the regular editor though
Oh, so this site's editor is based on HTML. Good to know, cause I thought it was Markdown.

THE BLACK DRAGONS JOIN IN
What?! The Dark Iron Dwarves are having fun without US! I won't have it this way! Everyone, join me in the Grim Guzzler!
This is an "expannsion to my expansion". Dragons are a very bland tribe right now. They have no well-defined identity besides being big and possibly divine shield. I am trying to emphasize the "being big" aspect. I want to make it a tribe you can transition to in the late game too. Flavor-wise, this Dragon set if focused on BLACK Dragons from Blackrock exclusively. Razorgore the Untamed is kept as is.
NEW HEROES
NEFARIAN
MALORIAK
LEEROY JENKINS
REND BLACKHAND
CHROMAGGUS
NEW DRAGONS

Yes, Obsidian Whelp is just a Dragon version of Deck Swabbie. This effect never made sens in the Pirate tribe but it will make a lot of sense in mine as you will see later!

Scaled Nightmare is effectively worse Maexxna, except for dragon synergies. Otherwise set looks pretty cool, although I'm not sure about making 'expansion' directly supporting one tribe, that feels kinda unfair. That is, unless you pla on making some new packages of other minion types.
Ok
Ah yes, good point about Maexxna. Might make it tier 5 in a later revision of the set. And yes, I do intend to revamp other tribes as well.
