It's like a never ending story, and this time a jab directed at Hearthstone. I still don't know who's fault this was, the parents who allows their childrens to use their money, or the Marketing team doing poorly explaining how the lootboxes works and the chances percentages.
But all things considered, this game was actually for childrens. SMH
I'll bump up the Zealous Zoologist to 3/3/3; hopefully that's good?

MrRhapsody - I agree with AeroJulwin: the condition seems easy for a 3/3/3 with an upgraded Blizzard effect, especially when Flurry (Rank 1) exists in the same Year and is used in basically every deck. It's a neat idea, though, with interesting art.
Neoguli - Seems good to go. I didn't think it needed to be more wordy, but if other people prefer it that's fine.
BloodMefist - I like the idea of the Bronzescale, but it seems a little wonky right now. It's more interesting than the Warrior card, too; I would continue to explore it.
Wailor - The Epic version of Marine Biologist is interesting, but I don't know how practical it is to have all three of those types in your deck simultaneously. The Rare version seems more likely to be used, in my opinion; I'd go with that one.
BasilAnguis - The weapon card is neat, but it's not okay for this comp. Class Trainer is better, certainly, but some will frown on a "one time effect" on a card you could run multiples of, if-only because the second copy is kind of useless. Your Legendary is the best option, so I'd go with that one (after you give them a name).
Arkasaur - Gift of N'Zoth is cool; I like that one more. Grim Incantations is too niche in my opinion.
AeroJulwin - I like the idea of the Gladiator who gets better based on how many minion types they've defeated/sparred with. I don't feel it's well represented, unfortunately, but maybe it's the art that's messing with the message. I agree with trying to find another image.
Demonxz95 - Animal Caretaker seems like a win-more scenario: if you manage to fulfill the condition you're likely winning the board already. I agree with the others in-that Tisha's combination with certain buffs could be a problem.
Worth noting that there's a new update with brand new 15 cards! Mainly filling out some classes who did not have cards posted yet, which are the following:
Now I realize that I also missed Gluttonous Preparations, so there's that too.
Admittedly, I kinda just looked at what art I had previously saved. I did however think a gladiator makes sense. They could face all kinds of creatures in the arena. Wild beasts, smaller drakes, perhaps even untamable elementals and low-level demons, or pirates who have been given an opportunity to fight for their freedom. All to entertain the masses. I do agree the current art is a bit too undead, so I'll look for something more fitting.
I may have underestimated how easy it is to play multiple minion types. Should I remove the initial 1 damage on the battlecry?

Demonxz95
I like Tisha Darkblight better. I do agree with the Cost being too low.
Animal Caretaker I also a nice card, but I'm afraid the large requirement on the battlecry makes it a little less likeable. It's a big hit-or-miss.
Wailor
Erudite of Duality isn't my favorite because Hearthstone always feels a little hesitant when it comes to minions with sheer stats that can easily be played on-curve.
I don't like the second version of Marine Biologist either, because it could still work fine in a deck with only a single of the three types. I do very much like its third version.
Naga + Murloc seems like a tough combo, since Naga are very spell-centered while generally you'd want to have as many Murlocs(=minions) in your deck as possible.
linkblade91
I like how this works in menagerie decks. My concern is its ability to cheat out specific minions in other decks, in which case I agree its Cost is too low.
BasilAnguis
True Collector probably doesn't qualify. And I agree The Class Trainer could use vanilla stats.
Arkasaur
I think I like Grim Incantationsa little better. I do think spells should have an effect without requirements. May I recommend the same effect I used for my card? (Trigger the effect once guaranteed, repeat for each school/type)
Neoguli
Solid card, not much to add.
BloodMeFist
I prefer Darkmoon Security. It's always fun to summon extra copies of your minions and it synergizes well with handbuffs. Fin-friendly Bronzescale is very interesting, but it encourages you too only include a handful of Murlocs to make sure you always summon ones with high stats or Deathrattles. It's all fun and games until they release a Murloc Giant.
MrRhapsody
I don't think the requirement is nearly enough to justify a 3-Cost upgraded Blizzard, but I do think Thermal Shockerhas a lot of potential. Showmaster Thisley is also quite cheap at only 5 Mana.
It would break the character's flavor, but better this than breaking the meta!
What is the flavor of Drek'thar summoning 2 minions? Is it the wolves in front of him? I assume not since it's any minions instead of just beasts, but I don't know the lore.
I disagree -- they absolutely should nerf the whole Naga DH archetype into oblivion -- that would not not make the class unplayable. The reason we don't see other DH archetypes right now is because Naga DH is so ridiculously OP.
There are some big competitors for them to challenge, like MTg, Hearthstone and Legends of Runeterra.
Who even said that it's going to be a cardgame?
oh my god i was a super fanboy of marvel avengers alliance back in the days i would like to see something like that (the game had such great art and music that i will never forget it)
Marvel's been on the decline lately. The MCU popularity took a hit with the latest somewhat underwhelming films, and people in general got a bit fed up with the whole superhero stuff. I fear this game, even if it is well designed, may be just too late. There are some big competitors for them to challenge, like MTg, Hearthstone and Legends of Runeterra.
Not sure you've been playing ladder lately but everything is super turbo.
Well you haven't been playing the ladder either, because we only have two good aggressive decks right now (Pirate Aggro and Scouts) the rest of the meta is dominated by control (Mono Veigo, Feel the Rush, Caitlyn/Ezreal, Jayce Heimer) and combo/midrange ( Taliyah/Ziggs, Aphelios/Fizz, Pantheon/Yumi, Mono Shurima)
Every expansion we get aggressive, high value, high tempo units and 0 control cards that are good.
Shurima did introduce a great board wipe in Blighted Ravine, Bandle did come with lot's good ping cards like Pokey Stick and Minimorph which pretty much kicked Lee Sin out of the meta.
It seems like Ben Brode will announce their new game soon
I hope the reason you stuck with HS wasn't because Ben Brode worked on it lol

Can I finally let go HS this time? Can I? After all this years? I can't wait.

Youre free to believe whatever stats you want.
But when we cross reference with mobalytics we also see 3 aggro decks with a 60% winrate.
Is that accurate not at all, but assuming that aggro is doing poorly in this meta when the majority of websites rank it highly is just dumb.
Not to mention Majin Bae's last video literally was: waaaah why does my aphelios deck suck
https://youtu.be/vWvqD4bqPlU
It couldn't possible be that slow value oriented cards are bad when compared to instant wincons, like aggro, Combo, and feel the rush.
Like go off meta and try running kegs, or Karma, or Asol, or Vlad, or braum, or garen, or tf, or Nami, or Fizz, or Lux...I can do this all day.

It's amazing so many players know these cards by heart. I don't, and I'm to lazy too look up 27 cards.
Being able to choose different options is always good from a deck building perspective so I expect at least half to see play.

The Fury of Kael'Thas
My understanding is the brawl team, which I believe is still one person, chooses reruns partly based on play percentage statistics.
I don't know if that's how many different people played, or how many matches occured.

Well almost all the devs at Second Diner are ex Hearthstone devs. Course they could make something new, but it feels unlikely.

Pantheon an aggro deck... right... and spider aggro is control right? It run vile feast after all and that a control card right?
And if you took time to read before typing, you know that Majin doesn't do the meta breakdown that job goes to a different player:

Just go full spell mage. The only good thing about this brawl is that you only need to win once and then never play this shit again.

I count something like 8 viable aggro decks and yes I am including Viktor, and pantheon who are slightly more combo oriented.
Ezreal catlyn, jayce etc. are getting pooped on.
Mastering runeterra is built by one high tier player by the name of Majin Bae.
His tournament experience setting would favor control in a unrealistic statistical sense where you can just ban aggro on sight.
Can't do that on ladder.
