Sorry guys and gals, I'm having a nice 60 hours week, fighting covid in a task force at my working place. On top of that, I hardly ever play Battlegrounds. If inspiration strikes tomorrow, I'll slip something in, but that won't be of any quality. I'll participate in the voting, though!
Being a non-MTG player, this lore article about Innistrad was really interesting. Could also spot some hidden answers to the MTGA trick or treat clues for Oozefest :D Nicely done!
Cool lore dump. MtG was always weird to me because I liked the lore but hated all the books I read. Something about it felt very detached in it's story telling. I only tried 2 books but both were bad enough to put me off more than wiki articles since.
If anyone wants a lifehack for these, press ctrl+F, then type the first letter of any of the words. Then, just look for any letter that has the second letter next to it. When you find one, drag in that direction and if it's right it'll grab the answer. You thankfully can't search for full words, although this still makes it pretty trivial.
I feel like the effect - as thematically relevant as it is - is just not as powerful as the previous N'Zoth iteration. That being said, the artwork is a 10/10
Awww man, seeing the clock ticking on the front page ..! We were shown just the tip - I just can't wait for more - let the reveal season start already!!
For a very brief moment in time, I was at the bottom of the leaderboard - Yay - it was last night ^^ I love those Easter eggs hunt. The difficulty level ranges from pretty obvious to complex puzzles; subtle hints & misleading wordings! Amazing event you got us there! Happy Halloween to each and every one of you <3
Here's my second idea (The Ghost Ship seems like a fundamentally flawed design):
(The Golden version would read "At the end of your turn, add a copy of 2 different Frozen minions to your hand," so that it can't get you triples really quickly)
In constructed, this would be a Freeze Mage and Freeze Shaman support card (because it would be part of the KotFT expansion). As a 1/5 it should have some chance of seeing play. In Battlegrounds it is similar to Gentle Djinni, but instead of always giving you a valuable card, it will likely give you something random. Additionally, because it forces you to Freeze it essentially "costs" 1 Gold (because you miss out on a reroll), making it similar to Rafaam's Hero Power. I think that it should maybe be at Tier 4 because of it's gold over time value, but I would prefer to keep it at Tier 3 if that isn't game breaking.
EDIT: It also forces you to keep a 1/5 on your board, which is far worse than Gentle Djinni at Tier 5. Between the unreliability, the 1 Gold "cost," and the cost in making your boardstate worse, I think that this would be balanced.
I figured they were connected to Hakkar and Witchwood, respectively, but I didn't even know cardbacks had pages! Got them now. :)
I am still stumped by the last one though… I know it is something to do with Scholomance and isn't a card, but I swear I have looked at every kind of Scholomance guide on this site at this point…
Since landmarks settled now and aren't that widely used you also can go down to 1-2 copies of Divergent Paths.
Also I am not that convinced of Star Shepherd anymore aswell. It is a 1 mana units that will grow fast to 6/3 and that are insane stas for the cost right? I mean having a 6/3 for 1 mana is nice but... it still has no evasion, and will eighter get chumbed by a 1/1 or blocked by a simple Legion Grenadier making you even loose the trade in this specific situation.
There are plenty of changes that you can do about the deck right now but its:
-Hard to say which version is the most optimal
-impossible to present the right version of the deck in this deck guide because it largely depends on the meta we are in
I will update the list to be better against aggro tomorrow.
By the way it would be great if out of cards would offer the option to add multiple lists of the same deck in a guide that are adapted to certain metas.
At this rate, everyone will be a finalist because we won't have enough people lol. Some more feedback:
Show Spoiler
CursedParrot - That seems a little better, but Stealth and BG just don't mix, in my opinion. Plus the Rush doesn't play a part in BG, either, so its inclusion as a BG card is kind of weird.
Wailor - Silence in BG would be super powerful, but at least it's a Tier-6 minion and requires attacking. I hate the orphaned "it" at the bottom of the golden card, but that can't really be helped. All-in-all, I could see this minion in BG.
Nirast - Recycling Module is quite interesting; I was tinkering with a similar idea for my Lich class' Boomsday set, but I couldn't get the wording down. While anything could benefit the Mechs right about now, I don't know if this is enough: sure you can use it on a Deflect-o-Bot or Foe Reaper 4000, but is that the kind of help they need? They've got a bunch of Deathrattles as well, so resurrects are nice, but Kangor's Apprentice does that already. All-in-all the card is fine, I suppose; I just think Mechs need something more…dramatic. Or drastic. One of the two.
Hordaki - I don't like this card because it's literally useless for a number of BG characters, while it could be game-winning for the others. BG is balanced in-part based on the Hero Powers being used once: if The Lich King can put Reborn on two people, or Maiev can lock down two minions a round, that would seriously escalate how good they are. I will also echo the Garrison Commander sentiment the others have mentioned.

[Game] Card Treasure Hunt (The Resurrection Attempt)
Five with a Fireball sounds quite nice
But paying eight isn't so hard.
All I have left is a bundle of sticks
And a footnote on a classic card.
N'Zoth, God of the Deep
That was good ^^ +1

Not quite all of them.

Tank them to death v3.1
When it comes to pirate aggro/swain aggro it goes without saying that healing your nexus is necessary against these decks.
Tarkaz the Tribeless is not really necessary for this deck so you might replace him eighter with Guiding Touch or Kindly Tavernkeeper to have some nexus healing.
Since landmarks settled now and aren't that widely used you also can go down to 1-2 copies of Divergent Paths.
Also I am not that convinced of Star Shepherd anymore aswell. It is a 1 mana units that will grow fast to 6/3 and that are insane stas for the cost right?

I lost very badly with Go Hard vs. Feel The Rush, but I'm not really used to that kind of deck.
