I'm super suprised that R's Combat Dominie didn't make it. Maybe I won't be as straight forward with my feedback in the future, looks like it might paint a target on people's back if their cards are labeled as a potential winner (and I wasn't the only one who said so). Sorry R! :(
Can't believe I am not among them. Now I remember why I don't participate often, it's because I feel upset not being able to advance further.
I was victim of that one Hearthpwn contest where my and other cards on the same page were tied for 13th, which led to some discussion about changing their contest's rules.
I think the main problem with your card is that it doesn't really do what the prompt said it should do. You didn't focus on the theme of a single Spell School, but went with both Fel and Shadow. Fel doesn't have anything to do with Soul Fragments first of all, it's always demon related. Then secondly, Fel and Shadow are almost the only spell schools Warlock and Demon Hunter have. Barely a restriction in the deck building process, like asking priest to have Shadow and Holy spells.
Beyond that... what's the reward supposed to be? Healing? Because any other Soul Shard synergy is actually anti synergy, as stuff like Void Drinker and Soulshard Lapidary will DESTROY the spells you made into Soul Fragments. Why would you want that? If you wanted to just have the soul fragments drawn to heal, then why use soul fragments at all if their thing is getting burnt for benefits?

20th June update: SheikVII's WILD Secrets Hunter: Final push to Legend!
Getting legend with Secrets Hunter? Fantastic. Footage was recorded on my iPad. Sorry that the quality is not great. However, I had to publish something to celebrate my journey to legend. Such a satisfying feeling getting legend with this deck.
I appreciate these comments of support: they are what pushes me to look for new Duels content every time I have the chance :)
Congratulations for your result! If you want to try reaching 12 wins a second time, I suggest you trying the Divine Shield Paladin featured in the list: very solid and funny.
At the moment at 187 and doing the kresh achievment, which is a bit a grind. A lot of people have no heart for me and transform kresh or destroy the weapon. Arghhh :D
I think Il'gynoth is making tournaments insufferable to watch as well. Mostly because it is uninteractive, and the player either gets screwed because he couldn't draw cards or wins because he had exactly the cards he needs. Meanwhile the casters trying their very best to make the match look exciting by constantly reminding us what the player has got to do to outcast his skull.
It shares a similar vibe with druid decks. Doesn't seem to matter a whole lot what your opponent is doing, the deck largely gets beaten by itself.
But druid has been in this funk for a long time. Most top level druid decks is mostly single player; draw the exact cards you need or get shat on by everything and anything. At some point team5 have got to realise that a good druid's gameplan is cancerous, and start printing actual good cards for them while removing Innervate and Lightning Bloom from the game.
Honestly I feel like Druid (specifically Token) will have to get the bat sooner or later because it's the actual definition of uninteractive.
It's probably the only Standard deck I can remember that can literally win within the first 3 turns with legitimately 0 counterplay.
Also fuck Il'gynoth, that thing should never exist and is the main reason why I can't be bothered to watch tournaments. Literally nothing more boring than watching people draw their entire deck and then see the casters go "OOOOOOH IL'GYNOTH OFF SKULL, CRAZYYYY" every other game. OTK Demon Hunter is basically what people who no longer play Hearthstone feel like the game has turned into.
Hah, I would have never expected to see another unknown Druid deck (just relying on tempo or some such?), let alone find out it actually wins some games.
The micro-macro adjustments nobody knows many details about, eh. Feels like DH is up there every time they are allowed to draft some decent class cards.
To some extent it is, but the broadcast still tends to be online during the morning EU hours and even all the way up to noon. So hopefully you and everyone else have found their windows of opportunity.
I'm glad you enjoyed regardless of personal involvement! Hearthstone's competitive scene leaves much to be desired in terms of its handling by the company, but at least the community has always got some interesting tales to look into.
Got a nice bugged quest, I'm not sure if it's meant to be an updated version of Crowd Controller or a new quest alongside it.
Name
Description
Requirement
XP
Crowd Control
Stun 3 enemy units in a round OR
Stun 3 enemy units in a round
0/1 OR
0/1
1000
I completed it without stunning anything so...it also showed both progress bars being completed at the same time.
Now I got the non-bugged version. First requirement is the same except for 0/2 instead on 0/1, but the second one is Target enemies (0/15). The quest seems to give 1500 xp now as well.
I wasn´t really doing much this past week, just the quests every two days and that´s it. Went up from 160 to lvl170. Not excited to do the new achievements, at least in the near future. Real life hurts I guess :P

I wonder how much impact does the hero power have, i mean a 1-cost ping is a 1-cost ping, even tho you have to take some face damage.
