If you want to save money when buying Hearthstone packs, you should check out Amazon Coins!

Although the majority seems to like my Arcane card better, I personally already agree with linkblade's feedback a lot. I think Avalan would do a good job standing out in this comp with Cast When Drawn cards and because it makes a currently undersupported archetype more viable.
Also, I made it so that the Crystallizations draw you another card, explicitly to make sure that they don't dilute the draw pool. And I'm aware I'm just being stubborn at this point (I just can't help myself when I get excited about an idea), but I'm going to justify the 'Thief' aspect by arguing that the card pool is specific enough by including Frost spells only. I would be open to making them discover Frost spells from any class.
Feedback
linkblade
I see you've already submitted. I like this version better as well.
Demon
Very fitting effect for the prompt. Obviously the triple-rune card is the grand prize, but the rest helps add value without making the card too cheap. And the randomness of it should keep it from being a problematic card, so I think it's well-balanced. I would love to see Blizzard print cards like this that interact based on your rune-distribution.
Not sure what to think on the generation in regards to multi-rune cards. On the other hand, Frost Queen Sindragosa could also be considered a single-rune card for both Frost and Blood. Regardless, as fun as it sounds, I think it would fit the card better to exclusively generate 'pure' rune cards. Anyway, is a good card and I say the multi-rune generation can be left up to interpretation. Also, it annoys me that they made Climactic Necrotic Explosion inconsistent with the rest.
Wailor
The very thought of no spell decks makes me very, very sad… That being said the card isn't bad, but I do think the reward could be a bit more interesting. It seems very obvious as well as powerful.
High Priestess Ishanah is a very realistic and fitting card, which has definitely helped you this season, but it's not the most original card here. It's obviously supposed to be a reverse Alexandros Mograine.
anchorm4m
It's hard to tell how balanced an effect like this would be. That being said, Fel spells work well with demons and I like that in order to profit from the Lifesteal, you have to give up the healing you could normally get from other spells, so I think it should be decently balanced. Stats don't really matter considering it's a Start of Game effect.
Of course the magic on the art looks very cool, but I do agree the art should be a bit more zoomed in on the character itself. And the magic from his left hand looks more shadowy anyway, so that would help focus on the fel-like magic at his right hand. Linkblade is right that Hearthstone doesn't really print heroes as minions (The Lich King aside). I don't know how much the general audience (not counting the people here, since many make it to the finals anyway) would have an issue with that? If you do change the art, I recommend making it a demon so it can profit from its own effect.
Crusader2010
As a 10-Cost battlecry card, this effect won't see play until late-game when you'll have drawn about half your deck already. Whether there will still be enough legendaries in your deck is up to luck most of the time, making the effect very inconsistent, even if you put a large amount of legendaries in your deck. Missing out on the effect you build your deck around because of something out of your control just feels very bad from a game-play perspective. And when you do get the effect it also seems very strong to me. 41 Health is more than you start the game with. I think the card would be more balanced with less Armor and a different, more consistent requirement. I recommend either making it a Start of Game effect (with a higher requirement) or moving away from the legendary requirement altogether.

Yeah again you can tech your Viktor into a 90% anti aggro configuration and it won't change the fact that an aggro deck just snap removed your champ twice which was supposed to be doing something.
Hence why it's not a good card in eternal like I said...cuz I know my stuff
Now could you possible make Viktor work in eternal? Yes but not the way people play him where they toss him to the wolves. No I'm talking build around Viktor that might be something of you really tried.
Champ tossing in general isn't great in eternal even though that's a staple of standard value play. I wouldnt do it here personally.
On the plus side, the banner art for mini-sets is typically a zoom-in on card art, and it looks like a Warrior Fire spell to me. It's probably a dual with another class.
And on that note, could they really have not just made it a Fire spell and literally just call it "Through Fire and Flames" to tie it better with the song the card is referencing? Like, come on Team 5.
If this be the last time we do this, I think I should make time in my schedule for feedback.
Crusader2010
This is certainly a unique condition, but I don't think it's healthy. Your deck must contain 5 Legendaries at the moment of your death: that means, to regularly ensure this happens, you need to fill your deck with Legendaries so you don't draw into all of them. This screams "Wallet Warrior"; a truly pay-2-win archetype. You should also capitalize "Legendaries" and add a period to the end of the sentence.
AeroJulwin
I think Avalan is a neat direction to go: yeah cards from other classes are a Priest + Rogue thing, but that doesn't mean they have exclusive rights to it at all times. And the Cast When Drawn is fine for Discovers: if it's not your turn, you just get something random. I'm actually against the grain in-that I don't like the Researcher, because they already can abuse the whole "didn't start in your deck" playstyle quite a bit without additional Mana-cheating. There's nothing wrong with the card itself; I just don't think it needs to exist.
anchorm4n
I like this card, as I did back then. That being said, two things: the art isn't great for the portrait-window, and Gul'dan shouldn't be the character because he's the playable hero (I know it was part of the requirement at the time; just saying that, for this comp, he should be swapped out).
Wailor
I would be hard-pressed to vote for the Teleporter. Spells are very important for driving a class' uniqueness, and without them, you're very much limited in your playstyle - Play a body, hope it sticks, rinse repeat. Mage in particular is so connected to their spells that to willingly go without seems very weird.
Demonxz95
I don't have any quibbles about how the card is written or anything; just repeating my concern that you shouldn't lean into generating 3-Rune cards when Blizzard literally put a stop to that on purpose.

Sure, the deal is far from being truly dead, but I still think Blizz would rather have the headlines focused on BlizzCon than on the UK and US attempts to block their merger.
We've seen their PR department operate like this before: create a positive news story to help push negative news aside.
Perhaps there is further negative news that I'm overlooking!
Not really convinced it was entirely accidental, but nonetheless a positive twist for fellow HS players who want to collect the DK skin for 1000 gold. Personally, I should have read the quest before deleting it first because I have plenty of gold to spare.

June Is Eternal Month In LOR
Yeah nope still don't get it it's okay it's a complicated format to master
June Is Eternal Month In LOR
Yeah and it's not as simple as playing fast either if you're bad at it.
I was making a more nuanced argument that didn't lead you getting rolled
The reason why swim and I can play fast is because we can burst 6 mana, look at your odds and say good luck.
While you're just jamming cards reactively and hoping for the best.
June Is Eternal Month In LOR
Yeah again you can tech your Viktor into a 90% anti aggro configuration and it won't change the fact that an aggro deck just snap removed your champ twice which was supposed to be doing something.

June Is Eternal Month In LOR
Ruthless Rumble
Normal BO3
Runeterra Open pt 1 and pt 2
Thats basically the June schedule
So I do have to ask people of Eternal isn't a competitive format and doesn't matter to players in LOR
How come the release of what we already had (full card pool ladder) is being treated like a massive event.
It's almost like the whole standard is LOR now is kinda bs.
Yes standard is LOR but so is eternal deal with it!

Proof Pro Players Don't Get Eternal
Case and point someone was trying to play a nice little timelines equipment deck
I've seen it before...wait dead by turn 5
And if they weren't dead by turn 5 they would be dead by turn Ryze
Fast fast meta in eternal high power curve
Now it's possible they were running a grindly deck to punish all the players who teched anti-aggro then you get punished by aggro tho no winning.
The meta is what it is can't change it
