I´m at lvl 95, hoping to hit lvl 100 at the end of this week. My XP achievement count is at 80% done, didn´t really work on it, since I was focusing on Mercenaries these days. Still missing Deathwing (350/500), but it´s the only one I don´t own by now. Another two are maxed out, so it puts me at number 13 total. As for the N´Zoth event, I´m forever stuck at Murlocs in the Valley. I can get all the way up to the Rotimer no problem, only to get one shooted in the boss battle. I´m thinking about giving up, tho I really like the Diamond N'Zoth. Just like I gave up with the Chi-Ji event, can´t have them all I guess :P
Again, thanks all for contributing to this thread :) Good luck!
I've updated Whelping Hand to be 5 mana, and I feel like this is probably the highest I can go or else it becomes too expensive to be practical since it does also warp your deckbuilding. Regarding some comments, the aspect of it being able to grab non-targeting spells is intentional and if I wanted to limit it to only targeted spells, I don't really have enough text space to do that.
And a new card, Blacktalon Boss. I had a previous Whelp synergy card earlier, but I deleted it because it was so fucking boring that I almost felt embarrassed to keep it in the post. This one is still incredibly boring, but it does still seem more exciting than that other card. I just wanted a Whelp synergy card. Whelp, here we go again.
Feedback time!
Linkblade91
I like the card effect, though I unfortunately can't really help with the wording. I must ask though, are Deathrattles intended to trigger twice with it?
Wailor
Both pretty solid cards. I like them.
AeroJulwin
I do like some Whelp synergy cards for this comp, but I feel like they should probably be Neutral since there's otherwise not enough cards for them to work. Pretty nice card though.
MrRhapsody
Lord Nefarious feels like it has too RNG-dependent for me (and incredibly strong in Druid), and Onyxia, Mother of Corruption feels like a Carnival Clown with bigger stats.
Single Broodmother is definitely my favorite of the three. I really like it.
BasilAnguis
Something about the card feels weird to me and I'm not even exactly sure what it is, but the balance seems quite fine.
Some guy over on hearthcards is making a fan expansion featuring the Hearthcard creators it's just got warrior and Paladin so far but they seem to be doing one a day. I also think he's doing 3 legendaries per class for the creators and there like 2 spots on warlock that are still open it seems. Figured I'd let you guys know incase you wanted to see if you could get a spot or just check it out.
"OKTake Three" is the main card and then the others are "BEHSU Paladin/Warrior set" acordingly.
Basically, hit an enemy and you'll damage yourself as well, or hit yourself/friendly minion directly to draw a card.
Wailor - I love infinite Whelp, however it might be slightly too good for an epic given he's essentially a better Vanessa VanCleef. Onyxia's Brat is fine too.
MrRhapsody - Lord Nefarious is OP in druid with Scale of Onyxia. Corrupted Onyxia is nice on flavor but a board full of dragons is again very very strong. Dragonqueen Alexstrasza only have you 3 dragons really. Raid Boss Onyxia is very played today so corrupting a 9 mana card is not that hard. And again, druid. Single Broodmother for me is the best, a 5 star card. Love the flavor, the effect is powerful but not OP, overall great.
AeroJulwin - Paladin indeed doesn't really have much whelp generating cards. I feel in general this Whelp buff effect is just too narrow to be good, cause it only really has synergy with 2 or 3 cards total. Also priest rarely if ever has divine shields.
linkblade91 - Interesting idea! Never seen this before. not sure if it's too good or not, could really do some swingy turns with a bunch of burst from Wrathscale Naga, then dropping 2 Ur'zul Giant for free. Still, i like it.
Demonxz95 - Does it work like High Abbess Alura? If so it's even stronger than her before her nerf. you get 2 of them and it doesn't rely on the Spellburts. Admittedly the whelp is weaker than a 3/6. Best outcomes are Tip the Scales, Libram of Hope, Dinosize, Spikeridged Steed. IMO it's too good at 4 mana and the fact it doesn't actually use the spell. The idea is solid though, if you can balance it.
Thanks for reminding me Vanessa VanCleef exists, linkblade. I haven't played constructed regularly since Descent of Dragons, so I totally forgot about her existence.
Here's a new version of Infinite Whelp (which also uses a new artwork as MrRhapsody suggested), as well as the new Onyxia's Brat. It might also be similar to an existing card, as it's a pretty obvious effect for Warrior, so let me know if this is the case.
EDIT: Updated Onyxia's Brat to trigger after surviving damage (instead of simply taking damage).
Feedback:
Demonxz95
I agree with MrRhapsody and linkblade that it should search for targeted spells only, and it'd still probably need a Cost increase. I mean, even if you pull something reasonable like Blessing of Kings, you're still summoning a 6/5 that thins your deck for 4 Mana. Not super crazy, but that's far from the high end of this card.
Besides that, I'd probably use a Dragon-related watermark (either an existing one or not, like the one I used for Infinite Whelp), as, if this card existed outside a Dragon-themed expansion, the token would definetly be a Silver Hand Recruit. I know it sounds very minor, but for me, it would make the card way more believable.
linkblade91
I don't know if I like how it synergizes with such an abstract mechanic, to be honest. Also, as it is right now, it seems like it also makes Deathrattles trigger twice, which would be quite OP for a vanilla 2 Cost minion.
AeroJulwin
I am alone in this, but I prefer the buff version, as the transform one can backfire if you have beefy Whelps.
However, if you end up going with the transform version, I agree with other people that it should also be a Paladin card, as both Bronze Dragons and Divine Shield are pretty much Paladin things.
MrRhapsody
I'm not a fan of Lord Nefarius, but the other two cards are my favorite so far. You're having a very good season, to be honest.
Single Broodmother is probably my favorite of the two, as her effect is very creative and the name very funny. linkblade is probably right about the watermark, so maybe she should use the Onyxia's Lair one.
Onyxia, Mother of Corruption is also very cool, as the Corrupt effect is a very natural upgrade, and the fact you can only Corrupt her by playing 10-Cost minions makes her balanced. If you end up going with her, I suggest using the current artwork for the Corrupted version. For the base form, you could probably use her undead self, as none of her three existing iterations have used it.
Yeah, I had the same problem when switching from desktop to tablet or the other way around. Same solution as you (copy deck, delete deck, create new deck with copied code, problem solved).
Didnt encounter any error like this. Although I have experienced some weird lag ever since the patch, like it sometimes takes a few seconds to even select a deck.
Early(?) feedback...guess we're moving kinda slow this week.

MrRhapsody - "Lord Nefarius" is spelled without the O. Regardless, I like Single Broodmother the most, despite my absolute hatred of Discard. It has a lot of interesting use-cases, although (ironically) there might not have been too many great options in Descent of Dragons outside of Dragonqueen Alexstrasza. The card would fare better in the future, though, with the updated Core Dragons.
AeroJulwin - I would consider using the Transform version as a Paladin card, even if they'd rather buff things straight-up. Although there are more Whelps in Priest (if we count Wild), so…maybe it's fine as is on the gameplay side.
Wailor - Isn't this a Dragon Priest version of Vanessa VanCleef? I know it connects to Murozond the Infinite, but still: kind of takes away from her uniqueness. They have the same stats and Cost, to boot :P

Heroic Brawliseum
Woah, I felt the heavy weight between trying this brawl for 1000 gold and getting 10 packs of the next expansion. (I still prefer the latter).
I just pray whoever enter this BS of brawl get their money worth back, and not only 1 to 3 packs.
And shame on you Bliz. I expect my freebies of the week, and you shove me this.

Whelp, so much for being back every week. Stupid finals. Anyway.
It took me a lot of time to find good wording for a Deathrattle until I remembered Reborn and figured this would fit well in Galakrond.
I'll try to give feedback later today or tomorrow.

Reached 85 today, still missing my "Win 5 ranked games" weekly and one related to battlegrounds as I did not feel like playing.
After Drekthar's nerf I got 3K gold and opened packs till legendary. (only 2) now saving for mini-set and next expansion 3.1K gold saved as of now.

Demonxz95 - Potentially really strong if you focus on big untargeted spells like MrRhapsody alluded. Tip the Scales is another one; you don't even need to play Prismatic Lens or High Abbess Alura first.
