Here are my first ideas - went with Warrior and decided to go some sort of control-ish /protection route with the secrets :
I made the Hold the line 4 cost because with 3 mana i kinda thought it would be too strong even if you can only play one of them because it is a legendary! Not even sure with 4 Mana ...
In case someone did not remember the summoned cards , here they are:
Just check out the cards for RUneterra's spookiest region until you find what you're looking for. It is a pun, but not a particularly elaborate one.
Second one is a bit trickier, but...
Show Spoiler
Try and think of something that happened recently that involved a "party" of sorts that just won for the first time. (It's not the fun kind of party, nor the political one) Oh, and check recent articles.
Damn, got the second one but still missing the first. I also think about what you mentioned (related to a famous car, right?) but still not found. Is that a card or an article?
is a pun for sure but being a non native english speaker is sligthly difficult for me. Already tried with fall, afternoon, sundown, Night-Knight rider…. but nothing :(
And for the second one
Show Spoiler
I tried to follow the clues wrote in comments but the more I read the more lost I am. is that related to the first tavern brawl, a Raid party, karazhans…. Unable to manage to find it also
If you can share with me a hint for dummies (even on direct message for no spoil to everyone if you want) I'd totally appreciate that!
An instagram account called campfirestone released pictures of 22 datamined unreleased mercenaries. I saw that post shared on Facebook and Reddit too. Campfirestone said to check outof.cards for the complete datamine. Right now, I'm only seeing Valeera, Medivh, Kazakus and Trigore in outof.cards mercenaries database. Are those the only ones datamined or are the other ones not showing up?
Here's my first attempt at making some shaman secrets. Had a hard time coming with something truly original and just added up making shaman versions of mage secrets.
Edit2: Replaced Product Recall. Remember that Bomb Warrior from Rise of Shadows did not exist yet, but the Mine from Iron Juggernaut did. So that's why they're Mines *shrugs* They only deal 3 damage for balance reasons. Still not sure about this card.
Anything we've ever made public has not been removed. There was a point where they asked if I'd stop and I asked them if they wanted to work together on something and then they ghosted me until I started posting again. At that point I got ghosted once more and I'm officially done with them.
We don't need them to survive.
Fuck Blizzard. They still have cool people that work there and they make great products but their community team leaves something to be desired - a fact that has remained true for the entire existence of Hearthstone. Just when you think they're getting better and you talk about how they're doing better, they shit the bed. I'm so done wasting any amount of energy on them.
If something was previously showing up on the site and it isn't now, if anyone knows exactly what it was, let me know and I can dig into it. All our Mercenaries stuff uses a different importer and its possible that something broke and unflagged some stuff, though it shouldn't be possible I wouldn't rule it out. (Sending me a private message is probably your best bet since I'll 100% see the notification for it)
The meta does feel relatively well balanced, just that people are really frustrated with the number of Mages and Druids (60% of my matches are against Mage).
Nice idea to make 1 mana secrets. Cards is fine. But Deception can be OP when if it was triggered by Deathrattle minion… make it Epic?

Product Recall sometimes can be just highcost removal for small minions. Maybe make it "with 4 or more Attack" or something whole new. Also "recall" word remind me of return to hand, not about destroy.
Wailor
I think that you outplayed me with your such cute, clear and flavorful cards.

Focused Healing - "to full health" is too much imo. Mirroring Shadow is just Mirror Entity with extra steps. Spell Ward is cool though.
It's been a while since I've asked and given feedback. I made my cards on the basis that I imagine Priest secrets would be akin to Mage ones where they'd annoy more than they destroy. I'm not too sure about the name Spell Ward but I feel pretty good about the other cards.
Edit: Changed Focused Healing from full Health to 12 to make it in line with Greater Healing Potion.
Quick Feedback

I like the resemblance to Paladin cards but I'm not about Deception mainly because it's just a way better Noble Sacrifice and can occasionally summon a 2/1 as well. Other than that, seems fine to me.
linkblade91
Product Recall is really weak imo, often times it would hit a 1/1 or something insignificant or not hit at all. (Alternatively, you could maybe try a Bomb direction with the card. Engage Defenses! is cool but if I had to complain, it feels odd that its searching for 4 attack+ minions rather than Mechs. Scrap For Parts is good, I like the design.
Very cool theme this week. I decided to go for token Druid Secrets.
I think Surprise Shapeshift is my most interesting card, but I'm unsure about the size of the token. If I finally go with it, I'll make a token card too.

You are on the right track for the first one. Maybe Tarantino may help you. But I found it another way...
As for the second one: there was a recent premiere.

As someone mentioned in another reply, I had a memory of your database including all the 22 leaked mercenaries but that must just be my mistake.
Appreciate you, thanks for all that you do.

Not asking for names, but if it's the person I think it might be, then i am not surprised.
I do not hold this person in high regard, and would further suggest they are not well suited for such a role. (i.e. dealing with people).
Like you say lots of great people in other areas though.

Very similar to a build I was drafting, I like the Cairne addition. That graphic is killer, it should be a template on the site lol

Well, he did post them, but it seems he's since removed them. Blizzard probably requested he refrain from mentioning anything about it.

This is AWESOME bro! Even moreso because I have all of them :-))
Definitely giving you a follow!
