I just had idea how you can improve text. Instead of placing 'or a spell' at the end of text, what in my opinion looks quite odd, you could word it like 'Choose one - Draw a minion; or a spell that costs (5) or more. Corrupt: (10) or more.' This way your card fits better hearthstone wording, which has changed and no longer cards drawing specific cards state 'from your deck' in their text. Also, both 'or a spell' and Corrupt effect are right after what they are referring to, so the whole text is more comfortable to read.
Thanks! The way I interpret the rules of the competition, drawing a "card" wouldn't be allowed, since we're supposed to tutor a minion or a spell. A card might be a weapon or a Hero card, so I'll either have to choose one or make it a Choose One lol sorry. I did try and made a version without "from your deck" but it didn't look better. That said, I will think about making it draw only minions, because I get your argument about the flavor. The downside of this is that it looses lots of potential since tutoring a spell might give you Nourish, Guardian Animals or Survival of the Fittest (which is why I made it a 5 cost card in its first iteration - this could be very versatile and powerful in the right deck).
No you are just wrong and massively misinformed. 1350 gold, does NOT fix anything. The minimum gold loss from the old system is 2000 gold.
Oh, it does change a lot. If you compare it now to the old system you gain 600 less gold, but gain 7 extra packs, an extra legendary and 2 tavern tickets for the same ammount of playtime. Plus events are still a thing. Also wonder why you would want to calculate the minimum gold gain instead of the average.
The free legendary and free packs for the expansion is obviously a bonus from the battlepass and not something that they have already been doing and would have still been doing for each expansion without the battlepass....(they gave out free arenas with expansions too, but i'll let you have that one since it wasn't for every expansion.)
I know what you are trying to say, but the result already subtracted the normal free legendary(you get one at level 1 AND 25) and the 3 Packs we usually get (I just looked it up and we actually got 6 packs for scholomance, but that's still 4 more packs they wouldn't have given out for free)
AnAngryBadger: The idea is good enough, but I don't like the flavor. The art might fit Witchwood, but I'm not sure if it should go into Warrior at all. No Darkmoon Faire vibes anyway.
linkblade: I like both of them quite a lot, but I think the Paladin card is a better fit. It's very well placed in Scholomance while the Hunter card just looks okay-is in MDF. Both names do the job for me.
fungusABao: I prefer Enjoy the Faire! but maybe you'll come up with something better after a good night's sleep. It isn't bad but not super creative either.
shaveyou: I don't why the others don't like Pet Trainer, it's a very cool card. It's even better now with the reduced stats. For me, it's way better than Circus Elekk.
DestroyerR: I'd go with your first idea, the second one is too complicated for my taste.
ChickyChick: The card is alright, but not very creative. I think it doesn't need the Overload at all, maybe (1) would be okay.
Neoguli: This one is difficult. On the one hand, you need the Combo for the tutoring effect. On the other hand, I don't like this not being a neutral card. What I do like is the "cryptic" treasure in Uldum. I don't know. Maybe it would be best to drop the combo, make it a neutral and save it up for another competition. Don't get me wrong, it's a very cool design, but that's exactly why I wouldn't waste it on a competition where you have to force it into the theme.
Bit wordy? Why not just say draw a "card" that costs (5) or more? And as for flavor i think it should be minion only if it's like a wild animal attraction like you have going for it currently. It's clear what you're intention is tutor some of the c'thun pieces and later maybe c'thun himself but it seems to be pretty lackluster. Like druid copying rogue's homework.

Deinstalled the game on my phone and turned off the autostart, haven't logged in since the weekend (first time in... years despite vacation?).
I suppose there's only a few ways to show

I have been playing with a Shuffle Tempo Rogue to give some use to my golden Grand Empress Shek'zara and it is quite fun but not great. I managed to use Shek'zara once to fill the board with Plush Bears from Ticket Master and that gave me the achievement where you need to draw 5+ cards with her so that's pretty good already.
I'm also playing an extremely greedy Hunter list with mid sized beasts and Guardian Animals/Beastmaster Leoroxx. I was unfortunate enough to open two copies of Don't Feed the Animals so i needed to cook something to use it. The card itself is pretty bad/slow. The lack of proper card draw in Hunter really limits any usability for the hand buff. Guardian Animals is very impactful just like in Druid but Hunter has to play fair with it and wait until turn 8 which makes it unimpressive. It's fine but not great. If you pull a Tundra Rhino with it, it can create a decent amount of surprise damage and that characteristic is exclusive to Hunter. Trampling Rhino is simply great and should be explored more. The win rate of the deck is positive (pretty shocking) but i don't have faith that this will keep happening.
As the title says, it occurs to me, while i am having very much fun during the games of heroic duels, i'm getting no xp on reward track whatsoever.
For me, its a better mode than arena, you have bigger control over what your deck strategy would like to be, meanwhile you can achieve the same rewards. I think its easier to reach the minimum 4-5 wins per run, than arena, so one could say, it is more profitable mode. And much more exciting!
The cherry on the top would be that, while you having a good time, getting extra gold from the runs, you collecting that sweet experience, which is well desired to reach new reward track levels. But that on heroic duels mode just simply doesnt happen. I checked- playing battlegrounds and ranked counts instantly, even simple duel counts. However despite the fact i spent 2-3 hours dueling in heroic, i didnt get a singe xp.
What do you think? It is intentional, and its because you shouldnt get that many rewards from a single mode, or its clearly a bug, and players should be compensated?
I never prebuy and I will never buy the darn battlepass, but I bought this bundle for the value: got rewarded with Rifle and ETC, plus opened a golden Krastinov and Rattlegore, so won't complain!
Very surprised that this is my second Golden Leg in two weeks...makes me wonder is something going on with Blizz's RNG or are they feeling guilty?
I got the Arena quest this Monday, then rolled it into the Tavern Brawl/Duels/Battlegrounds one. Today, I rerolled again and got back the Arena quest. Fml.
I got the Arena quest this week and luckily re-rolled it into something more achievable. I have a total of two Arena runs in my multi-year HS career with more than 5 wins each, so I don't think I will risk the weekly XP on a format that I am not very good at!
