Competition Theme: Top Secret: The Fourced Sequel
We're keeping some more Secrets, but this time they're not held by the heroes.
- Make a card that makes a secret choice using the "Secretly" word.
- Our most prominent examples of this are Blademaster Okani, Jandice Barov, and the new Rhythm and Roots.
Loknax has asked us to reboot the Top Secret series with a fourth installment. We're focusing on a different type of Secret in this one.
As always, we can be reached through Discord or here on the site via PM if you have any issues to report.

You control how to engage with the enemy board: do you counterattack and lose Health from "trading", or do you try and heal over the damage? Your opponent wouldn't know your choice until they attempted to run something into your face, like testing a Secret.
Edit: I also have the Blade of Entropy; couldn't decide if it should be a Legendary with (3) more/less or not. The effect does take away your ability to attack with stuff that's still alive so maybe it's not worth it.
I'll have the tokens and stuff at a later... time. Here you go.
She's designed as the free legendary of the expansion, as she's more fun than actually good. Can create some interesting mind games, though.
(Not a fan of the art, but I struggle to find a Chromie art that doesn't look AI generated lol)
Wow, this is moving slow... Some feedback:
The main issue is that I think the Devolve effect seems a lot stronger, as you can use it as an unavoidable mini-Doomsayer even if you play it straight. The Evolve effect is a lot riskier, as it gives your opponent much more initiative to both remove your minions and to play minions themselves (of course, they wouldn't be 100% sure you've chosen the Evolve effect, but still).
My only (very minor) suggestion would be to make it an Epic. Dunno why, but this kind of effect seems like one they'd print on an Epic.
Blade of Entropy is also appealing. My main concern is that the choice might be slightly too obvious based on the boardstate, but that'll be the case for many 'Secretly'-cards and this is still a more interesting way to execute an effect like Fatespinner's.
Now, I believe how this would work is that it functions as a permanent enchantment, which I think will catch many players off guard. I recommend adding "Next turn," in front of the second sentence.
Three hours left before the finalist phase. Get them votes in! Good luck we merry few everyone.
Congratulations to Wailor!
Congrats to Wailor! Defintely my favorite this week!
I notice I am confused. Something I believe isn't true. How do I know what I think I know?
