Goodwills Orchestra - A Hearthstone Custom Expansion

After the catastrophic and dooming events of my previous expansion, The Dawning Cataclysms, I feel that we all need a detour from the tense atmosphere, and instead of cries and screams, its cheers and ovations.

Let's clear the curtains, and welcome to the Goodwills Orchestra!

This expansion marks the second one in my still in progress hearthstone year, the Year of the Angler. Such charming notes that lure whoever listens to them into the maw of the act...

Instrumental to Go!

Goodwills Orchestra features the new keyword, Score. Music isn't always the same tone or intensity, and not all songs are played the same way, and thus you oughta keep the beat up to gain all of their perks. When someone goes off-sync or off-chord, unfortunately for most musicians it means starting all over again.

Examples of a triggered Score and an ongoing Score, respectively.

Scores don’t have to be completed in one turn, they keep the progress, however their progress will reset if the cards are not played in order, keep it all in sync!

Elusive will also be keyworded, as it should be, a good number of cards in this expansion contain this keyword, and I needed the space.

Never-Forever Songs

The beat may not last forever, but its impact will always remain remembered by the people.

Some cards in this expansion will feature “temporary cards” which will be discarded at the end of your turn if they haven’t been used; sometimes replenishable, these musicians are under your directions, so lead them appropriately.

Moving Inspirations

Oh marvelous minds have arrived, of great variety and types!

Each class will get their own musician associated to their respective theme, inspired by people or things in the music industry throghout its entire existance, these will be represented by their own Hero Cards.

Without further ado, let the show begin!

Does the "score" stack? Like with the Upbeat Shrooms card. If you play 3 nature cards in the same turn, will the end of turn effect summon 3 more shrooms?

Nice inspirational theme btw! :)

Nope, it will only summon an additional one. But it will keep itself "active" until the end of your next turn, and will check if you played another Nature spell by the end of it, if you did, it will summon a Mushroom and keep itself active, meaning that it will remain active until there's a turn where you can't play a Nature spell, in which case it'll go away and you'll have to cast Upbeat Mushrooms again.

But Score does technically stack in triggered ones, since it resets upon completion, like Snapping Stranger since its effect goes off and voila.

8 new cards have been added, I still cant fix the formatting to make the cards be right in the middle in spoilers so it still looks bad.

...whopeee, apologies for the lack of updates, I actually updated this a while ago in the discord but forgor to update here
ill update with the new cards later, but here we go, a whooping 26 cards, wohooo

college has been a mixed bag this semester, which is surprisingly better than i expected.





progress in the set has been slow for obvious reasons (another college joke, im so original xd), but to be transparent about how its going, right now standing at 97 cards, neutral cards almost finished, Rogue and Warlock are done, Mage only needs the legendaries, Priest needs one rare and the leggies, and the rest are halfways done, Paladin is being somewhat of a struggle, so I expect that to be the last class to be finished before working on the mini-set

but yea whew this is kinda exhausting

EDIT: Sorry I forgot about 1pic

new update, 14 new cards, dont have much to mention but here is new update!
includes a change to Brass Walker, going from a 6/6 to a 4/4 with Taunt and Divine Shield



Next I'll focus on the class legendaries, which have been surprisingly lacking in numbers.

new update new cards that I should've posted a while ago
however there's also an important update because of the March of the Lich King, new class meaning that there will be more cards as im making a hearthstone year for it

these were made before its reveal (about a month ago) so i'll have to change shrieking chord's art for something else



an an explanation for Kinryu



And like with Cataclysms, behold a work in progress, these are not final but compose the main idea(s) that I want to make for this set, with the Death Knight beign assigned the Blues as a music theme, tragedy and death can only be properly enunciated by those who live through it.

update moment, with half of death knight here
had to use another emblem for the class because runes dont work in the old version

okay its been a long time but the orchestra has been fully assembled and finished!

that is, the cards, they're finished and made, I still haven't updated this and should be updating this soon enough, expect it to be updated with all the cards and updates by at most December 15th.

Now I got exams and they're rough but at last I will no longer feel pressured to finish this one before the year ends, now remembering to update this is another thing lmao

God, okay, finally I am finished moving all the stuff here.

Therefore, another set finished! (Til the mini-set comes which should be relatively soon)


...I am way too tired to give another comment its almost 3 am lol

okay sorry for not updating in a longass time, kek, still working on other things, but here we go

lets all give a warm welcome to The Talent Show! And with production value, comes a special reveal video! Turn on those cameras!

And in case you missed it, the reveals!

This will be shortly followed by a few more reveals that happened back at the custom hearthstone discord server.

And as promised, follow the class reveals! Back at CHS discord! Not all of them though, it's not finished yet, but a good half of it is.
