I sneak into the fray with a take on possible Warlock secrets. Feedback welcome!
Out of these, I'm pretty happy with the first two but Felfire Ward could do with some tweaking. I wanted it to be "when a friendly minion is attacked and dies" but that's too many words... Tainted cup refers to the Blood of Mannoroth, but is it obvious what it does in this case?
This OG Paladin quest is a quest that I always kind of wanted but have never had! But glad to know someone is out there role playing as John Hammond with the quest!
While it's true that Wrenchcalibur doesn't explain what the Bombs do, you have to remember that that was Rise of Shadows, a later set. In Boomsday, you only have Seaforium Bomber (and Product Recall); I feel, for the sake of realism, that the explanation needs to be on there.
Frankly, I'd prefer a guarantee they be for legendaries you don't already have - it's not that hard to grind for tasks and get coins for legendaries you do have, but if you're mostly F2P it can be a real nuisance to unlock new mercs (particularly since duplicate protection doesn't work as many expected).
Can't upgrade anything without the merc. Here's the deal: 1. Coins drop at the end of a bounty, depending on your party (and the baseline coins associated with the bounty) 2. Tasks drop coins specific for the merc (and random ones; exception tasks for equipment)
Without the merc, you hardly ever get coins efficiently for them (some bounties require lots of time etc.)
Thanks for the advice on the legendary coin purse. But now I've been hearing that you shouldn't craft legendary mercenaries from your coins, you should rather use the coins to upgrade abilities and equipment. I've got over 500 coins for Alex now but not sure if I should craft her
Ooopsie, right. I misunderstood the first message. I thought he was refering about the fact that some of the words to search were near another one like Cauldron near Cult, OgremanceRevenant and Rafaam, ... something like that. My fault :P
Probably random. I cant see why team5 would deliberately sell coins for legendaries we dont have yet, because it'll likely just provoke memes in reddit telling us how useless the coins were
If I purchase (7.99€) the Legendary Coin Purse will I get 3x250 coins of Legendary I don't own (and in this case it can be reasonable) or are they random coins? Tks
Great idea! I'm out of dust but I'm still sitting on a golden Lost in the Park which became useless after the Seed ban... might craft the quest when my climb is done :)
I won't spoil stuff too much but you can expect more. I hope by the end of it we don't have pushback telling us we are mad lads and lasses. I'm still blown away by how well they do - we definitely need to get better at doing them outside of site events.
Shields Up!: I like this one a lot. The flavor and the mechanics fit well together.
Hold the Line!: I would lessen the armor gain of this one a little bit, considering that this one is strictly better than Ice Barrier, which is one of the better mage secrets. I like the flavor of this one as well.
Dr. Boom's Boombox: There's a missing apostrophe in the name. Very fitting effect and I appreciate that it tackles a different aspect of warrior - mechs and making things explode!

Rigged Sigil: I don't like that this one can backfire, requiring you to play around your own secret. Normally, secrets are all upside aside from an unlucky Oh My Yogg!.
Warding Glyphs: I'm not sure this works within the rules, but it is interesting to see an effect that punishes attacking by crackback damage.
Sacrifical Summon: I like it. It's certainly a lot better than Spellbender for sure.
Demonxz95
I really all three cards. Nice work!
FenrirWulf
Focused Healing: I'm not sure I understand the flavor. You hero gets healed when its not taking damage?
Disarming Palm: I think that this could be a lot stronger. Setting a minion's attack to 0 is a lot like freezing, and spending 3 mana for a Freezing Potion doesn't seem like a good deal.
Spell Ward: This is my favorite of the three. It's a nice, clean effect that is unique.
Wailor
I like these simple, flavorful effects that make these secrets distinct from secrets in other classes. Oftentimes, custom secrets can get complicated pretty quickly and can end up being clunky to read.
Neoguli
Soul Harvest: "Minion" should be plural in the text. I can see the parallel with this and Plagiarize, i'm not sure if that's what you intended.
Demonic Presence: Your opponent will easily decide not to break your armor unless they have lethal, so the draw will almost never activate.
Maledict Shadow: This could cause opponent not to be able to play any minions if they have a board full of minions with 2 or less attack.

I like all three of these. Is it possible for Product Recall to leave off the text that explains what bombs do? Wrenchcalibur doesn't have it.

Secrets with Outcast are interesting but there is an issue where cards that interact with Outcast such as Kor'vas Bloodthorn and Line Hopper can give a clue to your opponent which one it is. To prevent this from happening, every single secret that demon hunter gets would have to get an outcast effect. Also, using an outcast trigger on a secret can easily cause the card text to become crammed because there are multiple effects.
I like Hunt Them Down, but I think Without A Trace is too strong and United We Stand doesn't work well if you have a board, requiring you to have to play around it.
I love the big guy so much! He’s been a lot of fun in a libram deck with [Hearthstone Card (LadyLiadrin) Not Found] and Djinni of Zephyrs as a secondary win condition, but I’m gonna try this version out now too. Always looking for more places to play the quest. Thank you so much for the idea!

MTG Arena Nominated for Best Game Community, Wizards is Giving Away 1000 XP and 2 Free Cosmetics With a Code
I'm still curious as to why Hearthstone is not nominated?
Not in Mobile Game of the Year, Not in Game Expansion, not even in Best Game Community. hmm.

Galvadon! The last kaleidosaur.
He's not that bad if you can summon four.

That actually sounds pretty cool! I love Libram paladin with stuff like Eydis Darkbane and Lynessa Sunsorrow but haven’t tried it with Galvadon or Djinni of Zephyrs.
