A late welcome, but I too was fashionably late to the party last week...
This week however, I am prepared with no less than three cards:
A bold choice, so tell me if I'm in over my head. In mid- to lategame, Zanari hardcounters any deck that insists on yeeting spells in your face. The intended effect is to shift the meta to a more healthy one where decks have both magic AND minions. Similar to C'Thun, the Shattered which prevented control decks from relying on fatiguing their opponents.
More of an alternative to Dr. Boom, Mad Genius. It does require a full Mech deck and only triggers once a turn, so I gave it "Start of Game" to make the deck more consistent. Also, fun fact: the name Rhea means 'flowing stream', which I found rather fitting as streams of data flow between her and the rest of your Mechs, allowing them to move quickly (with Rush!).
Handbuffing spells might not be conventional, but it doesn't seem unnatural for Hearthstone. Elementals and (damaging) Nature spells already go well together, and I think this would be a nice addition. Not completely sure about it's balance yet, maybe it's effect should be limited to 2 or 3 spells?
I know three is a bit much, so there's no need to give feedback for all three, but I would like to hear everyone's favorite.
My initial idea. While Paladin isn't necessarily the Elemental class, they could have them as a new archetype, and they are also quite spell-heavy. Also having this in Mage would make Ignite Mage even more busted as an additional and cheaper tutor for Chandelier. EDIT - this could be in Priest maybe?
I would assume that is going to be a thing eventually, since we already have something similar for card sets, for example if you put in the opening brackets argument [card set="core 2021"] it will prioritize cards from said set: Shadow Word: DeathShadow Word: Death. Just a matter or time.
Is there some way you could modify the database tags so you could reference them without using unique ID's (which I'm assuming is a value in the table that is foolproof to call upon), while most people use the "name" field without issue, obviously with duplicate names (as you mentioned Alexstraza) that becomes a problem.
Are there plans to have an alias database tag, so you could for example say card=MercAlexstraza1 (Merc Mode, Alexstraza, 1st skin) Just a thought... :)
Yes, you can, but for now, you will have to use cardID in our database, if it is not a unique name, so for example, to link Alexstrasza, you would have to use number 14293 instead of her name between the brackets. You can find cardID in its URL on its card page.
None of the mercs are unique solely due to us having all three different card arts for them in database. But yes additional problems will arise if it's also the name of a collectible card in "Traditional Hearthstone", as Blizzard likes to call it. Using IDs should be fool-proof.

But say [Hearthstone Card (Altered Beast) Not Found] is a unique card name, so it will give priority to the Merc card.
Also a Pirate skin for warrior has honestly been LONG overdue, considering Pirate Warriors history in hearthstone.
In fairness, pirate warrior's reputation grossly overstates how much of a presence the archetype has had in HS's history. Unlike rogue, who has received pirate cards pretty consistently throughout the game's lifespan, warrior didn't actually start getting pirates regularly until Descent of Dragons. Before that they only ever got pirates in the Old Gods set.
If we count the Old Gods cards as an unrepresentative blip, then warrior has only actually waited about 2 years for a pirate skin. That's less than rogue waits for ANY skin... in fact, the absence of Valeera in Mercs speaks for itself :P
I'd like to know if this artwork is already in use, because it feels very familiar to me. I'm also a bit concerned about the wording.
Early feedback:
linkblade91
I haven't played constructed for years, so I don't know which one is more balaced. In terms of flavor/feel, I'd say I prefer Lord Prestor.
R
I like the effect, it's very good fit for Hunter and a natural evolution from the original character.
That said, the artwork is a bit of a problem. I tried finding a different one, but I couldn't find anything. In case you can't different one, I'd change the character entirely, even if a bit of flavor would be missed in the process.
Finally, about the wording, it should be "your Deathrattles trigger as Battlecries" ("triggers" is for singular, and here it's "Deathrattles" in plural)
Demonxz95
Dragon Mage has always been about big spells, so this is a good fit.
That said, I don't like cheap cards that have a game-lasting effect, because they're too RNG dependant. I think you should either make it a Start of Game effect or increase the Mana cost so that it's not as polarizing.
Wait a damn minute are you telling me that mercenary will not come with its own quests are kidding me 😂😂😂 are they expecting us to split the already bad gold quests on 2 games hahahaha , miss me with that s@#t lol
Welcome to the Hearthstone Class Master tournament test runs
What is the Hearthstone Class Master Championship?
"...Hearthstone Class Master Championship, aka HCM, is a new concept of a championship where players choose 1 class, for example Warrior and they enter a league of other Warrior players to compete with each other for the best warrior of the league. Same applies for the rest of the classes."
What is the Hearthstone Class Master tournament test runs?
"...these are some vital tests that we need to run before we officially launch the HCMC where we are to assess player experience and levels of player participation. The tournament test runs differ from our final product in many ways but the core idea of the championship which is non other than to bring players of the same class to compete with each other for the title of the best of the class, is there!"
What is the first class to open the tournament test runs?
"...We open with the Shamans showdown and we will continue with the rest of the classes. Do not worry, unlike HCMC where a player chooses to play one class only, in our tournament test runs you can play with all classes, one at a time."
Who can participate in the tournament test runs?
"...You need to:
Play the current competing class (for now Shaman)
Reside in Europe
Have 3 wild decks ready
You can read more of how to play in our simple description of the tournament test runs"
Does it involve any rewards?
"...Yes it involves a price pool money reward but it is a very small symbolic amount. When our main title opens, the price pool money is of course expected to be significantly higher."
Where can I learn more of this project?
"...You can learn more in the Hearthstone Class Master Championship Facebook page and of course we would be more than happy if you could drop us a like, follow our posts and participate in our efforts with your constructive criticism."
Where do I sign in for the current tournament test runs?
"...We will be more than happy to see you getting involved in our newfound family! Welcome to the Hearthstone Class Master tournament test runs! May the best Shaman win!"
Wait a second.... Pirate King Garrosh is missing in the bundle. Could this perhaps hint towards Pirate King Garrosh being part of a legendary quest, just like the Malfurion Skin we got during the fire festival? Personally i really hope that's the case. I think Pirate King Garrosh is one of the most wanted skins (Alongside Anduin and Jaina) so if we can get Pirate King Garrosh for free, than that would be incredible! Also a Pirate skin for warrior has honestly been LONG overdue, considering Pirate Warriors history in hearthstone. So i'm just glad we finally got a pirate skin for warrior.
.... Oh and i just wanted to comment to say that it's so weird that in the HS Mercenaries promotions Valeera is THE face of Mercs, but at the same time she isn't on the list of playable mercs at launch... That's kinda funny to me.
Calenmir - Very sorry to read that: 9 wins is a rather acceptable result, but I definitely understand your tilt - I probably would've acted the same way. However, I am quite confident you'll be able to top that result in the future!
AgentCroque - Sweet Heroic run! How did that Deathrattle Shaman run go?
Haffax733 - Already a flawless 12er? Wow. I knew Death Games Deathrattle Hunter would've produced great results in this challenge, but I didn't expect them to some so soon - congratulations for the performance!
I think you misunderstood the speed value on the abilities. Speed values that are lower attack first, while values that are high attack last.
The second ability tells me, that my ability is stronger, when its slower. But I can only make my spells faster with chromie, which is weird. At the state of your actual design I cannot reach my maximum damage output with chromie.
