Hey, so for those not in the know, the Tamsin clue is an "Among Us" reference. "I saw her vent in Electrical!" Is how ppl will accuse someone of being an imposter coz only imposters can use the vents.
When I searched for Tamsin I was focusing on the vents and the electric. I thought it was maybe a card which involved some machine and looked through both of the machine-heavy expansions. I've been on the wrong track of course, but as soon I saw the card art I knew this was the Jellyfish.
My first idea for this comp. The enemy can't see which card is the bomb. When the trick card is played it changes into TRICKED!!! instead of doing anything, like it got Countered basically.
I wanted to use Arcane Cannon's old art now that it's been "retired" from Battlegrounds. I'm worried it's too good for the Warrior while being weird for the Mage, even if you consider a hypothetical Pirate expansion (hence the shark watermark).
Edit: Another card. With Xavius on the table, succumb to the nightmare and embrace your rage! Assuming you use the Attack to go face, Xavius' effect is ultimately neutral; however, given the Druid's Armor gain and the health restoration of the Warlock, you can get ahead of your opponent's life total and then go for broke. Might drop it to 2 damage/Attack, 'cause a board clear could end the game very quickly lol
Yeah, it always happens. Sadly it's not just confined to games either. Too often people, companies and countries chase profits and power at the expense of quality of life, which is surely the whole reason people would have wanted money and power in the first place?
I've seen F2P players slave away with meta decks for years in the belief that it will enable them build a large enough collection so they can start enjoying more casual decks, but never actually stop to play those decks. I worry a bit that people are doing the same thing with Mercs, and ruining their own enjoyment for a game they genuinely do like by chasing a dream that Blizz, like every company true to the spirit of capitalism, has placed conveniently just out of reach. You can bet new content releases for Mercs just often enough that it's not actually feasible to both enjoy the game and max out everything (without spending significant amounts of money, of course).
So yeah, having watched players and the world around me chase dreams to no avail, I've learned to aim low, but do so with a smile on my face.
Not bad really. Its sort of like Thing from Below, mostly because of the taunt, and that's likely what will push people to want to make it work. Because you can legit just use cards like Revolve, and put down a big taunt as early as turn 3-4.
I'd probably just reduce the health to 8. 0 mana costed cards, especially on minions, almost always break the game, and this one will likely be no different, assuming of course that there's support for it. Its too punishing for your opponent to play minions as a 4/12.
would increasing thr cost to 15-20 help? i ask in case i want to keep the stat
If you really want the stats to stay, it'll probably have to be at least 14. That's my opinion anyway
Has anyone considered just... not actively maxing everything? If you have to have perfectly maxed teams to get even a scrap of enjoyment out of the mode, then maybe the mode just isn't fun for you, and thus isn't worth it.
Put another way: if it's impossible to be competitive at your MMR in PVP with a less-than-fully leveled team with less-than-fully leveled equipment, isn't that an indication that skill doesn't make enough of a difference to make the mode worthwhile? If the meta is truly that boring, then how is it worth the time investment to grind out your team in the first place?
I can't find art to save my freaking life. I also had the idea of a minion that gives your opponent a candy bar that fully heals them but makes them unable to cast spells anymore, but couldn't find any art.
The first one represents a viking (or a Vrykul I guess) that goes to Valhalla after dying in combat, while the second one goes for a more Halloween-like flavor.

I really like P1NG and P0NG, especially for their names. I think I agree with the person who said you should reduce the buff, though, since they can easily get out of hand and they're 1 mana, so it's very easy to combo them with tons of stuff.

I like how the trigger and the "curse" have related effects, but the whole thing feels a bit convoluted right now.
MenacingBagel
It's pretty interesting that it can be used on your stuff or your on enemy. Would it be Neutral or Rogue?
Neoguli
I think it's a bit OP right now, considering it's 2 effects in one, but maybe I'm a bit conservative (it's been a while since I haven't played constructed)

What does Shadow Weakness means? That they take extra damage from Shadow spells or that the Shadow spells they cast make less damage? I'm assuming the former, but even then I think Priest's spells are not usually damaging ones.

First idea.
I'm unsure if the connection is strong enough if that makes sense. That's just sort of an inherent problem with some classes in this comp.

Does this count as giving your opponent something harmful?
