Maybe this means I can finally come back to playing LoR. I stopped playing pretty much 1 week after the KPOP event ended because the card designs/cosmetics were literally giving me cancer (really, a poro taking a selfie?) and the cards were just stupid OP. I have high hopes that the upcoming Ruination themed event is going to be better though.
First card is based on card dealers and fancy shuffling, was thinking of doing a shell game kinda card but thought it would be too similar to Jandice. Kinda similar to Wailor's entry so maybe I won't go with it.
Second is based on the test your strength games and the plush bears are the prizes.
Couldn't find any decent art for either in a quick google search so art is missing for now.
Showerthought: What about making Raise Dead deal 5 damage to your hero? 3 damage is a joke for Priest and Warlock has the Soul Fragment mechanic as well as Man'ari Mosher.
As someone below mentioned, Blizzard intended the 50GP (now 900XP) quests for players who find the 60GP (now 1000XP) quests too challenging, and that 'normal' 60GP quests always re-rolled into 'easy' 50GP ones.
My theory: keeping the nominal difference in reward allows casual players to know which type (easy or normal difficulty) of quest they've got and allow them to make a more informed decision as to whether or not to re-roll.
That said, if casual players are truly turned off by the 'normal' difficulty quests, then maybe Blizzard should just do away with them altogether, give the 'easy' difficulty quests 'normal' rewards, and save us min-maxers the annoyance.
Honestly your puppeteer is really interesting, a smart play on something that exist but with a caveat. You can simply change the deathrattle to read "If the minion is still alive, give it back", so the theme of the hold being broken if the controller dies is still here. In that case, you can safely increase the power level of this card since the only card they have to make it permanent is silence, maybe mind control up to 3 attack? That'll set it apart pretty neatly from the others like Cabal Shadow Priest and acolyte.
Dont have to worry about them keeping the minion. In many cases the only way priest have to do this is silence. 2 cards for 1 conditional mind control is still fair, considering that Cabal Acolyte is already doing this.
Perhaps it's worth recognising that plenty of folks prefer the low-roll quests because they are easier to complete - isn't it simply a matter of taste, and what each individual player expects/wants from the game? It seems perfectly fine for Blizzard to have quests which appeal to the portion of the player-base that doesn't care about min-maxing . . .
Thanks for your feedback everybody! I'll go with the mime. I was wondering if it should be a legendary like Chameleos and I'm still debating if it should be Neutral or a Priest card. What do you think?

I prefer the original version of the Puppeteer. It should be obvious that you can't give back a dead minion, there are quite a few cards in the game that have a drawback that can be avoided (like playing Unstable Felbolt when you have no minions). You need to change the wording though: look at Potion of Madness or Shadow Madness for guidance.

Wow, this really hard to decide now! Felfire Juggler is super flavorful, but the effect is a bit wordy indeed. On the other hand, Grim Fortune's artwork is very cool. I think I'd go with the Jugger because it's more interesting.
Its been a while since I last even heard of this game. Its ftp now, but I doubt anyone but the most loyal of players are still there.
I will agree that its characters are pretty solidly designed. Too bad these kind of side scroller games are pretty much ignored when it comes to multiplayer games.
I expect an announcement by the end of next week. The midexpansion should hit around Feb, so there's no sense in not hyping it up with a release schedule.
Blizzard will announce the next expansion at BlizzConline™ February 19–20. 9/21/2021, so the start of the new Hearthstone year will be in the middle of March.
DMF was released on Nov 17, so the middle of the DMF expansion is next week.

[Game] Card Treasure Hunt (The Resurrection Attempt)
A card neither in standard nor in wild?! Hmmm...
My entire collection was deleted!
Yes, the game thinks I am a new player, I also lost all my friends list.
I tried logging out and log in, it didn’t work.
any thoughts?

Did I really need to know this? XD
[Game] Card Treasure Hunt (The Resurrection Attempt)
Surprisingly fitting, but no. None of the cards are in Standard btw (third one isn't in Wild either...)

Mini expansion ?
My two cents - by 10 days still in January big changes are planned, so expect to see the mini-expansion by that time in end of January.

Exactly my point... It is freaking January, a bit too late for that... Won't be enough snow for a fort.
[Game] Card Treasure Hunt (The Resurrection Attempt)
One used me and found success
But now he's valued much less
Boggspine Knuckles after the nerf
One tried to improve all of us
But it was too small of a plus
Revolve
One uses me now in battle
Usually to prevent nasty rattle
Devolve
And the solution to the riddle is the OG offender, Evolve.
