For most of these lists I already have half of the legendaries and epics, so spending $20 for 1 or 2 new legendaries, about 3 epics and maybe 1500 dust is not super attractive. It would be better if you either get a discount if you already have some of the cards or get dust compensation for duplicates that is higher than the usual disenchant value.
I am considering the Priest deck though, since I don't have any of those 3 collectable legendaries yet.
I do think it's an improvement that players can now buy cards and know exactly what they're going to get, instead of having to open what are essentially loot boxes.
Proves, yet again, that people are just plain bad at predicting the power level of new cards that none of them has played with. Myself included. I thought Zoe was flat awful and would never accomplish anything.
Other people (not me this time) thought LeBlanc was bad because Mystic Shot. Turns out she's one of the 10 best champs in the game presently. Predicting power level is just hard before playing with the cards.
However, all that being said - Soothsayer is going to be completely busted. Are we ready for Lee Sin to find a new home in Shurima? He's already seen some experimentation with Shurima as his second region - Soothsayer and Chronoshift might just be the extra protection he needed to find a comfy home among the sands. (And I say this with great trepidation ... please let me be wrong.)
I think that's pretty neat. They learned from experiencing Hearthstone. And now I think they're outpacing Hearthstone by quite a bit. It can be good to come to the kind of realization that "we can do better".
This follower gives spellshield to ALL landmarks and champions which means that sun disk shurima gets a huge boost with this card being around becuase they are way less vulnerable and way harder to hate out of the meta if they should become strong
Looking at all the cards, it seems like we're still missing a Shurima card. Maybe the big 4+ Countdown Landmark that makes the advance cards worthwhile is still coming? If not, then we'll have to either see if Malphite has those big countdowns or if Frozen Thralls are good enough targets.
I nearly own all these cards so to me this isn't very helpful. It's still awesome though since now I don't have to pull my phone out or leave full screen when finding a deck to build lol
All right, all right, all right... I finally hit level 100. Groovy Baby! 🤘
In front of me is only the bonus part of the rewards track left. So, let us see how far I will be able to get till the fat lady sings this time around 🤭
How are you all doing at this moment? Progressing smoothly I reckon.
Damn, I've been late for the second round. Truth be told, I really can't think of anything else for this comp.
Anchorm4n
You've already submitted, so I can't really give any feedback in terms of improving the card, but the card that you submitted is pretty good. I could see it being a finalist.
Linkblade91
I do still stand by everything I've said about the card on Discord. Good luck with the scoring.
Nirast
I appreciate the idea of Misterious Wildkin (which has a typo by the way, it should be "Mysterious", unless it's supposed to be a pun), but the text is very clunky and doesn't look too good.
Barrens Black Drake feels mostly weak overall. Moat Lurker has never been an "okay" card and this isn't that much better.
Hungry Crocolisk is really flavorful, but it suffers from a few problems. Namely that good targets for it will be hard to come by since it has low Attack and Health, needs to kill the minion and survive the attack. Lots of variables there. It does also run into a problem that Wailor pointed out where it might attack something with 0 Attack and not get damaged. If that happens, then the Frenzy is basically gone. A less talked about problem with cards that gain stats when they die is that they don't work as the creator will have intended and the same works for this card. Since it's killing a minion, it won't gain any Health since the minion it's basing its Health gain off of is 0 or lower. In fact, if it's lower than 0 then it'll take further damage since it's trying to gain a negative number of Health.
Grumpymonk
You've already submitted, but it looks pretty solid.
Shatterstar1998
I prefer Explore the Barrens personally. Thalnos the Soulrender seems like it would be too difficult to use properly since it not only requires you to control a lot of minions and then damage them, but the classes that are most capable of accomplishing these tasks are typically not very good at bursting the opponent's hero which is basically what people use Spell Damage for.
grumpymonk - I like it. Unlocking one overloaded crystal isn't much of a "payoff", 'though you can definitely benefit later on if you're spamming Overload.
Wailor - I think giving it Taunt might be too much, especially if the Paladin player is managed to buff its Health. Frenzy on a Paladin minion seems off flavor-wise, as well, but purely from a gameplay perspective I like the stickiness.
shatterstar1998 - Frenzy triggering is like a Battlecry or a Deathrattle, and not an on-going effect like having Spell Damage, so Thalnos seems weird. I like Explore the Barrens, though: as you said, it's a good standalone card.
Although I don't think Buried Sun Disc needs a SpellShield, giving both Azir and Renekton ways to defend themselves while doing so in tempo is probably going to be important enough to warrant a spot or two for Soothsayer. Though I don't think Mono Shurima is going to be good by substituting out one or two cards. Could possibly be a 50% WR deck if optimized properly but I think it lacks a proper finisher.

Zilean seems fun.
Soothsayer seems busted.
So does Chronoshift, kind of, but at least its expensive. A slightly worse Unyielding Spirit for one less mana.
EDIT: Though, it's also Burst, so maybe it's better than Unyielding.
