If the final fight isn't a teaser for a 11th class, I don't know what is. We've already had heroes' stories intertwine with each other to show that we play from several points of view. So I'm beginning to wonder if they implement DK with it sharing the final fight with Paladin.
I believe that Grand Prize could be: Costs (1) less for each card shuffled into your deck this game.
While certainly an option, the different phrasing makes a difference: namely, you can shuffle cards back into your deck that were already there, mostly with Secret Passage. Just one or two of those is enough to reach 0 on Giant Prize; unfortunately, that one card kind of ruins the whole shuffle simplicity :/
As for your card, it should be fine as-is; maybe even on the weak side: you've paid 2-mana to gain a 3/2 body and a 1-mana discount on a future card (probably next turn), but you also gave your opponent the discount first if you save yours for later. Cards that benefit your opponent have not done well in the past in Hearthstone. Although, combined with the Druid's various sources of ramp, you can better reach the expensive stuff earlier. The "(1) more" can be used to stall for time, as well.
Yeah you're definitely right that we have no idea how much content LoR will get related to the Ruined King, it's entirely possible that they just wanted to tease him for LoL and decided that using the LoR "Ruination" card would be a good way to do that. However, given that they're making a big deal out of the reveal affecting all their games, I would expect some amount of content around it for LoR. At the minimum I would expect some cosmetics, but I'm really hoping for a small card set like K/DA.
We're definitely expecting a lot of stuff about the Ruined King, on Friday; TBD exactly how much of it spills into LoR.
For everyone not read-up: a big part of Shadow Isle's lore is this arrogant king that basically caused The Ruination and black mist, making SI what it is today. His name is Viego, and he's going to be the next new champ in League of Legends released this month. LoL has also just revealed some new skins, "Ruined Karma", "Ruined Draven", and "Ruined Shyvana". We also know there's a big RPG-style single player game, The Ruined King, coming out early this year too which seems like it's going to be all about him. Finally, if you watch to the end there's a long scene of Senna (her backstory is she's killed by Thresh and her soul is imprisioned in his lamp but miraculously makes it out and is somewhat reborn / somewhat undead) hearing the following:
"The Mist...he's close...ruination...VIEGO!"
Personally, my money is on another cross-game event built around TRK -- and I think that'd be pretty cool.
What do you think about this? I will try to make choice cards, maybe something like 'lure/attract' and 'repel', or 'bring balance/power/life' and 'repel force/power/chaos/death'
Here, I will offer some of my feedback:
@Fedrion
Show Spoiler
Your card looks solid. While I agree that potion of illusion makes it a bit scary, but on the other hand wording looks better in first version.
@anchorm4n
Show Spoiler
From your cards, I like the Phoenix ones most. I could argue if it's balance should be by comparing it to Frizz, because Frizz does not allow to use discount instantly, while your card does, as well as works with card generating, and I think these are at ok power level. However, I have no personal preference over any of those, but I wonder if this won't be a bit too simple, yet you may get extra points for making your card elegant.
@DestroyerR

Ancient of Mana looks to similar to Wailor's Moonclaw Panthara to me. That said, I prefer Elegant Spellmaster out of the first of your ideas, the other one is too random
@Hordaki

Looks ok, but nothing realy outstanding.
@NerdyMcNerd

The second version of Tess looks the best out of your cards. However, you should remember to capitalize first word of effect - increase.

It is quite disrupting, maybe (2) of cost manipulating is enough.
Pls remember that these are only my opinions, and they may be not more important than others opinions, including your own.
I noticed something else important in the trailer: The LoR clips showcase "The Ruination"! I think this is an indicator that the next event will be a Ruination-style event, coinciding with the release of the Ruined King game and The Ruined King coming to LoL! My personal dream is that the event will focus on the Ruination and maybe give each region an event card that shows what would happen if that character was caught in the Ruination (kind of like the new LoL skins). They would be what-if cards, similar to the Death Knights in Hearthstone, meaning that they are alternative universe without breaking the aesthetic of the region! I'd honestly love seeing things like a Ghost version of Corina or a spooky-looking Windfarer hatchling. Honeslty, the potential is limitless and I think it could add a lot of really cool cards to LoR.
Thought about the Potion of Illusion shenanigans, and yeah, would be broken at that point, I implemented a solution other than cost increase because it's a little more on the path I originally thought the card should be played , but really maybe it would be better to just outright increase the cost.
In WarCraft 3 his model is also holding a book. I'm not sure lore wise what type of tome he is holding onto, but I think it must give him more power/a stronger connection to the Light. Or something.
Amazing guide and I really appreciate the shout out much like the reference of my deck way back in the stalking shadows article. Riven has actually been performing for me in diamond, I highly recommend giving her a shot. She can help anyone climb to gold or even plat in my opinion and once refined, she might actually make a high tier deck! Much love
That’s so stupid. Shouldn’t they have it recorded somewhere? Because I got 100 gold for having the entire Classic set. I don’t know if you remember but that was the reward for it back in a day (pretty lame, right?)
Love when you don't have to make a deck, not because I don't have the cards but because it's great for people who don't. Brawls seems fun too, I hate the ones that have two opponents playing very similar, like the mirror murloc quest.
I don't think you were lucky. Just using your hero power was sufficiant enough till halfway through the match. I can't call that difficult in all honesty.
This feels like one that could be pretty cool, but doesn't really work out in practice. Maybe if it comes back around, they'll make it better. Maybe...
Fedrion - Welcome to the group :) Despite it being a while since you've made a custom card, your first entry looks pretty solid to me. Not as powerful as Malygos in its sheer Spell Damage, but in turn you get to reduce its Cost. Art is pretty cool, too, and the set placement seems alright. Balance-wise, maybe it should cost a bit more because Potion of Illusion makes it easy to create cheap copies.
anchorm4n - I like the updated Blazewing. I think it's fine at 7; kind of like Dragonqueen Alexstrasza on turn 10+, you usually would want to play it later to allow yourself to drop some other Elementals. My only (minor) niggle is that you should move the word "hand" to the next line: right now the text doesn't look aesthetically-pleasing.
DestroyerR - I like Elegant Spellmaster the most: it does something interesting with Spell Damage and makes you build your deck differently. I would go with that one.
Wailor - I think the 11-mana version of Moonclaw is fine. People see "free" and freak out, so at least it costs something to play. Seems good to go.
Hordaki - Your Horrific Giant is using C'Thun art, and it's fairly noticeable. Beyond that, I think the card is alright. Maybe it'll get people to play Horrendous Growth? lol
NerdyMcNerd - The newest version of Tess is the best iteration of this ability. Depending on what you hit, you could really disrupt your opponent's game-plan…and yet, it's also quite slow for the effects to be felt, so the card is balanced in that way. I might argue it's a Legendary class "tech" card against Combo decks, and that's not good, but it's universal enough that you can get away with it. All-in-all, seems fine. "Increase" should be capitalized, though :P
DavnanKillder - "Tax Collector Hans the Bat" is way too long of a name lol. Name it "Tax Collector Hans", or "Hans the Bat", but not both. Beyond that, though, I think it's good to go.
Pokeniner - I think the card is competently made, but I wonder if anyone would use it. It's a big risk to let your opponent have a cheaper minion; conversely, the increased-Cost option is a gimmie if your deck has so little minions (because your opponent will hit one before you do).
doingtheobvious - Not everyone cares for when you make up a new dual-class combination, but all-in-all the card looks good to go. You're using a different watermark, so it's not like the card exists in Scholomance, but still something to consider.

I won't lie, this one sucks. It's just burning cards and getting frustrated as you give each other useless 8 mana cards.
I don't know why they gave everyone constructed decks. I play Tavern Brawl to get away from constructed.
