Ah, that makes sense! Especially with Questing Adventurer, that would probably be a much more viable deck. We went for the meme style of play, but that might actually work to climb... Nice!
I hate infinite value too. But luckily this landmark seems more like a meme than a competitive card. In hearthstone most of the RNG and infinite value cards are very good if not fundamental for a deck, so they see a lot of play, which makes the game a joke most of the time
I said i don't like to play this kind of decks, dying versus aggro decks without doing nothing it's one of the main reasons.
That said, i don't see what changes from the same ramp deck right now, it does nothing the first 2 turns and plays wyrding stones on turn 3.
Not only that, but apparently you can choose to play different cards when playing versus different kind of decks, and not following the same scheme every game
I think this card is very strong because you can pass two turns (and have 3 spell mana), play wyrding stones on turn 3, play this on turn 4 and have an 8 mana play on turn 5.
Hmm yeah that is pretty good. But for that amount of mana you can play They Who Endure + Atrocity much more reliably (sure it's only in one deck, but still). I feel like there are more reliable and faster win conditions. It isn't necessarily unplayable, but it definitely isn't OP. Also, it can be countered by a single vengeance on the Sejuani.
Not every deck has access to vengeance or non combat removal for that matter.
I chose quest hunter with draw and rush minions. It is difficult for your opponent to clear the board, so you'll always have minions to buff. Probably not the strongest strat, but a bit of fun and should net you the win for a pack.
Brilliant! I’ve been trying to introduce Fireheart and the Archeologist to each other for a while with limited results. This looks the the kind of party that could seal their friendship
Just a quick note - Level 2 Yasuo is a 5/5 Quick Attack for 4 cost. I'm pretty sure that's good, even with zero synergy in the deck. Similar for Jinx as well - 5/4 Quick Attack (though a deck with this Landmark in it probably never empties its hand - so that part probably never comes into play). We do have to always keep in mind, however, the raw stats and keywords of level 2 champions (like 10/6 overwhelm for 6 cost - Darius; or 13/13 tough, fearsome for 7 cost - Nautilus). Even Braum, whom I rated as bad, still has challenger and 6 health with regeneration.
Valid points for sure. Depending on your matchup 5/5 quick attack, at that stage of the game, isn’t that big of a deal. If your opponent is playing 8 drops and you are playing well-statted 4 drops you are probably still on the losing side from the tempo loss of playing Howling Abyss. Jinx is probably a bit better because of the extra draw she provides - depending on how many cards you have left in your deck and what you are playing against.
My point was not to rank them (you did a better job at that in your previous post). I just wanted to give examples of champions that require certain synergies to shine, and perhaps Yasou wasn't the best example.
Playing this card on turn 5 means you have 8 mana for the next turn and ot helps drawing a 8 mana card to almost secure you have something huge to play.

I'm not a fan of ramping decks, in general i'm not a fan of decks that require to draw specific things early otherwise they have already lost; but i can see this card being played

I agree with you completely about this card being the kind of design that made me dislike Hearthstone. This is probably a very balanced card (I don’t anticipate something like the Yogg meta because of this) but very few cards like this should be printed. Hopefully this card will create some good highlight reels and moments (like when Kripparian Unstable Portal’ed into a Nefarian into a Sacrificial Pact against Jarraxus) but sees no serious play.
Been having success with Odd Hunter and minions that either have beneficial deathrattles, or battlecries to summon other minions. A few spells for burst.
I dont't like these card of cards because they are part of the reason why I don't play Hearthstone anymore. With that said I think it is balanced quite nicely and won't be a competitive card.
It's a value generator that can low- or highrole. And as previously discussed in this thread "when I level up" conditions do not trigger.
It's essentially 7 mana do nothing, so you have to be in a good position to play this card otherwise you are prone to open attacks.
They have printed counters to these kind of cards.
Champions tend to require some build-around to be good; teemo, Fiora, Maokai, Yasuo to name a few.
It's a meme card.
It is a horrible card to draw in your opening hand.
However, there can be some feel bad moments if it gives the opponent a level 2 Asol and he/she starts snowballing.
On the plus side it will probably generate a few good Youtube highlights. But Riot... careful with the RNG.

Sejuani? that's what are you worried about? I'll take a level 2 Sejuani over a level 2 Maokai any day.

I'd hate the card if it was strong, but it's a 7 effective mana do nothing, so i'm ok with it; it's just a meme card to have some fun.
i'll probably even try it

Nice one! I try to include Master of Disguise in some miracle decks to protect Questing Adventurers and big Vancleefs, it's a pity it's so expensive.

Maybe 'Gain +1/+1 for every minion killed' in comparison to Cycle of Hatred
Deep Sea Designing - Card Design Competition Discussion Thread
Thx for the Feedback y'all - here is the new Version with quite some changes:
Got 1 mana Cheaper. The Stats changed from 9/9 down to 5/5 because of the new second ability that it gains +1/+1 for every minion it killed.
I know the phrase says that died this turn so right now it also gets buffs for minions that died before his ability.
But im not sure how i should phrase it?
Mabye:
Battlecry: Deal 3 damage to all other minions. Get +1/+1 for each minion killed by it.
But that does not sound right.
Or do you guys think the ability is fine as it is?
