Alfi - I'm worried that repeatedly Dredging after card draw could bog down one's turn, leaving less time for actually playing the cards you're drawing/Dredging. It also seems crazy good with an effect that draws more than one card; I know your reply to Neoguli suggests it would randomly Dredge, but I don't agree with that assessment. As written, I'm inclined to believe an Arcane Intellect would have you [draw first card -> Dredge -> draw second card -> Dredge again], which is both powerful and time-consuming.
ChickyChick - The Fussy Lobstradon is an interesting idea, potentially setting up your next three draws (because you can move three cards to the top of your deck). Actually seems quite powerful, saying it like that; might need to nerf it a little. I completely agree with Demon's review of your Colossal and the Herald: I think the Colossal would be a major problem on mobile, and the Herald is too all-or-nothing. I would stick with the Lobstradon (and make it a Beast, at least).
Wailor - Make Yogg'Siren target "enemies if possible" and you've got my vote lol. Big Spell Mage would love such a card, as random targeting is always the downfall of the archetype. Clumsy Courier, for example, is a fine idea if you don't need to target something…and yet that's a lot of what the Mage does. I know that would defeat the point of it being Yogg-related, though. Anyway, I focused my review on this card in particular because it's my favorite of the three: even if you don't change it, I would still prefer Yogg'Siren over the others.
BasilAnguis - "Scuba" is spelled with a C, unless the K is a reference to something I don't understand. I think this kind of card can work if it had higher stats and Rush: higher stats means it's not guaranteed to die in a trade, while Rush means it could die and thus benefit from the Deathrattle + Dredge combo. That leads to decision-making: keep the minion alive for efficiency, or trade it away for the combo. As it stands right now, Tuskarrrr Trawler is very similar to this.
Nirast - Not a fan, to be quite honest. In particular, the Colossal is only one card in your deck so either you greatly risk whiffing or you have to play Ambassador Faelin first, and that design is not my favorite. Synergy is fine, but one Legendary specifically relying on another is not a good idea IMO.
Neoguli - Pearl Empress is cool: you can chain-Dredge the same card repeatedly if you can keep her alive. I like it the most of your three ideas, for sure. One little niggle I have is the word "shuffle"; just say "put a copy of it on the bottom of your deck". Shuffle implies the whole deck is being rearranged, which would complicate the card and also makes the sentence sound weird.
MrRhapsody - Clutch of the Deep is my favorite. Magnetic Fisher could get out of hand if you manage to pull Gaia, and the Harpoon is probably broken in a Mech deck. Clutch of the Deep, however, is fine as-is, needing additional help to generate a Curse (which isn't hard given one's Hero Power, but still: that's 2 more Mana that has to be spent). Move the word "Abyssal" onto the bottom line so "Curse" isn't an orphan-word, and it'll be perfect.
dapperdog - Dredging for your opponent is a really cool idea. The five lines of text is a problem, though. I would keep tweaking it, 'cause I like this direction a lot.
BloodMefist - Commander's Trident is neat. A good connection to Guard the City, while being worth it for Lady Ashvane (could even pull her and still summon the Naga, which is good reverse-synergy). Might be my favorite of the cards posted so far.
Hordaki - Shady Snorkeler is more interesting than the Faceless Scavenger, in my opinion; I would go with the first card. The text is missing an A, though: "If it has (a) Deathrattle, summon…"
Demonxz95 - I personally feel like Dredging could be used more beneficially than repeatedly summoning a small minion without Rush or Taunt. The other problem I see is…what if Hydronicus is not on the bottom of your deck to start? You'd have to find it first, play it, get it killed, then start the Dredge game. That's a pain in the butt lol.
you might have them but I'd bet around 99% of other people using this promotion don't
it will ALWAYS be better for everyone if they give out free cards rather than cosmetics and in case of HS a free legendary is literally the best thing that can happen as it actually affects what they can play, skins don't do anything
The offer is going to be available for ~30 days and then go away forever. Prime Gaming offers only last for a month after they are available, but in the case of Hearthstone, there will be more opportunities down the line for more stuff. If you haven't activated a trial yet, I'd wait!
I've been having a lot fun with Abyssal Curses; more than I expected, to be sure, which was zero lol. When my preorder gave me Za'qul and Azshara in gold, it seemed I was destined to play the deck.
Only thing that annoys me is that the Curse damage doesn't count as damage "you" dealt, for XP quests.
That control paladin deck that buffs their Mr. Smite in hand then OTKs you out of nowhere with a 65 attack charge minion is the greatest bullshit ever. I cannot believe that after everything how charge minions are bad for the game they create a card like mr. smite and then still allow it to exist as the most annoying card in standard. I cannot blame anyone for playing that card, I fully blame the designers and send a big "fuck you" their way.
Card looks decent, shuffling with Dredge make this a bit more unique, but I wonder if if not for the comp it wouldn't work better as Discovering cards to put on top of your deck, because they are random anyway, and you wouldn't have to shuffle deck.

Abyssal Monstrosity works while on board, right? If that's so, I think it is usualy a downside, and card feels kinda clunky. Blessing of the Ocean is fine, but doesn't feel realy special to me. Yogg'siren is pretty funny, my favourite od your cards just for it's flavour.
@BasilAnguis
Show Spoiler
I realy like it, though not sure how other voters would perceive it. I think this would be ideal statline and Cost for this effect, if not for Loot Hoarder and Tuskarrr.
@Nirast
Show Spoiler
This is nice, however feels a bit weird to me that it synergise with two complerely separate things. I don't mind the statline though.
@Neoguli
Show Spoiler
Pearl Empress looks kinda well, not sure if it's impactful enough, though I suppose it has great Sunken synergy. Fledgling is pretty good too, not sure which I like more, but text may confuse people. Sek'xeth while fun feels too specific.
@MrRhapsody
Show Spoiler
Magnetic Fisher and Clutch of the Deep are both 5 star cards to me. I don't think I have anything more to say about them. I don't like Harpoon as much, though it's fine design.
@dapperdog
Show Spoiler
Looks quite interesting, but maybe there is a way to make this a bit simpler.
@BloodMefist
Show Spoiler
Both cards are fine, though I like Gaze into the Abyss a bit more. My only concern is that it requires a slight spark of thought to understand how this works, so I'm not sure how will this be evaluated on voting.
@Hordaki
Show Spoiler
I realy like both of your cards can't tell which one more. I only wonder if Snorkeler is not a bit hard to activate it's effect efficiently, because you would need a fair part of your deck to be Deathrattle minions to get 1 on average, or put something straight to bottom of your deck, but, while my memory may be bad, I only recall Hunter having a Sunken minion with Deathrattle.
@linkblade91
Show Spoiler
Yes, this feels pretty alright. No real issues on this card, depends purely on voter's mood imo
@Demonxz95
Show Spoiler
I realy like this card, though I agree it should be 3/2. If you change it, I'd say it's a 5 star card.
Just lost a game because on turn 10 the game decided to bug out and do that thing where my opponent no longer looks like they're playing cards and also their turn timer is actually infinitely long (at least visually on my end, and effectively never gives me my turn).
Obvious Disconnect, or something that broke.
By the time I got back in, it had skipped my turn.
I had lethal that turn if he wasn't allowed 20 mana to save himself. (Mecha-Shark combo, didn't have enough health on the board at the start of his next turn, which would have been the amount of health he had on the board during my turn, but because I wasn't allowed to attack with my minions and then he put more health on the board, I ended up not winning that game)
This game is actually broken. I've noticed opponents too "skipping their turns" more often than it should happen, lately, so I feel like this is an actual problem.
I already have the legendaries and epics I want, so I value comestics more. Though, TBH, I am a huge sucker for exclusive cosmetics so I do like the idea of another Tyrande situation...
Why would you want anything other than free legendaries? They're pretty much the best thing you can get for free and locking another skin behind Prime wouldn't go over well anyways. I mean people got so upset over Tyrande that she's now permanently free
Playing 4 Dragons is a fairly hefty requirement but should be achievable in most Dragon strategies.
Actually, no, it's pretty easy when you have cards like Amalgam. So now not only is Druid still using Kazakusan, but we'll be seeing more of it than ever in other classes as well.
The game tried to download data earlier this morning but kept failing, now it suddenly worked without downloading anything… I’m confused by the mess that is this patch launch.
I made this illustration to understand Hearthstone's art style to be able to work with the game in the future . It was super fun to make, I used a malefic ocean theme and for the design I was a little inspired by Pyke from League of Legends. ⠀ note: Aaaaaughibbrgubugbugrguburgle!
