I have really mixed feelings about this one. On one hand, on my first heroic brawl I did 12 wins with Renolock and that marked a big "cash in" point for me, where I pretty much got all standard decks unlocked by the grand prize. On the other hand, 1000 gold or 10 dollar/euro mark is borderline cruel.
I can see the thrill of a big gamble, but truth be told, you only break even around 6 wins. And you only get enough gold for another run at 12 wins. So it's pretty cruel, since a vast majority of people will never be even close to 12 wins.
There was a lot happening in my process this week. I had the idea of: What if Medivh invited everyone to his dinner? Or if they played dancing chairs? Could all minions switch sides? Then I worked on my card, thinking that it would be just as amazing as Treachery but with more potential - and realized that it was extremely op... ^^' I also made a version for Shaman with a "stirring the soup"-flavour. But this still feels wrong. Should this be cheaper and only rotate the minions once or twice like in the Carousel?
As for who I'd most want to see, Rexxar is actually quite near the top since I always feel like I only know half of his story. For hero portrait purposes however, I'm more interested in Valeera since I'm a rogue main. Hopefully she's not too far back.
So after our beloved lady Jaina, who do you think will be next hero to tell their story? I´ve heard some rumours it will be Hunter - some say it was spoiled by Blizzard themselves in some promotional video. Have any of you heard/saw something regard this?
I´m interested in your thoughts, which hero you´d guess is the next? Or which one you´d love to see/get?
For me, obviously as a Hunter main, I´d love to see Rexxar´s story the most.
Thanks for your replies and please, be nice to each other :)
4 Mana 4/3 is pretty Nice. The giving Beasts a Deathrattle Mechanic is also nice and suits Hunter pretty good - however i would change the Deathrattle into something more suitable for Hunter - restoring Health equal to its cost would never be a thing for Hunter - i think. Sure it suits the Flavour of the Card Competition a little bit better but i personaly do not like this form of Heal for Hunter - and it also doesn't specify what will be healed ? is it random or you mean to your Hero?

I like the Buff Change even tough this could be pretty strong early on. Also like the Change that this can now shoot for Face Damage. Suits Hunter pretty good and i also would keep it at 4 Mana because like you said - the 3 Mana Spot in Hunter is pretty crowded. I like it and i think it is good to go :)
Yeah, I am also in a line, I don't know what's wrong with it, I thought its an issue with my mobile, but after seeing your post, I came to know that there is an issue with an app.
well, this issue has resolved or not?
because I am facing a still a similar issue, and its too irritating.
Thanks for your feedback! Linkblade and Demon thought I could get away with a 3 Mana cost. I would like to avoid that since this slot is really crowded in Hunter. 4 Mana also avoids Unleash the Hounds into double Sharing the Spoils which is relevant because of the other change I made: I raised the buff to +2/+2. Since I also changed my mind about this not being able to target heros in favor of flexibility, here's the new version of the card:
I hope this is a little more exciting for y'all. I'm pretty fond of the flavor, even if the art looks rather relaxed in comparism to your usual ferocious Hunter card. What do you think?

I think the text misses a target for the Health gain. You probably mean "to your hero". I don't feel the flavor very much, though. Is Rexxar supposed to eat his dead animal companions?

Nice idea! The statline is okay for me and it's fine as a Neutral.

Cool idea, I like the effect being triggered by the number of tokens on the board. The puns are great! Two issues for me: 1) Rush is a bit wasted on the Iron Horde Chef since its appearance will usually be triggered by your opponent. 2) 7 Mana do nothing might not be enough for a legendary spell. You might want to give the Aspiring Chefs Rush and tune down the Iron Horde Chef a bit.

On Deadly Banquet the text should probably read "… who attacked your hero last turn". The Apple Seller looks a bit more flavorful to me, though. You should give this one another watermark and add an "n" to "an enemy minion". If possible, also edit the text so there's no single word left in the last line.

Nice idea, but maybe a bit too creative. I don't think a card with that many tokens will make it very far even if it was possible to submit them, which I doubt.

Nice art and perfect flavor for Scholomance. I'm not completely sold on the effect, though. To further add to the flavor, you could make this a Warrior card that summons a Piranha for every damaged (enemy?) minion - their blood draws them to the battlefield, you see? You'd have to be careful not to step on Troublemaker's toes in this case. Maybe "Summon a 2/1 Piranha with Rush for every damaged enemy minion."? Anyway, you really should create a token card for your submission!

I'm sorry but thi is just too strong for my taste. I also hate Zeph with a passion, but he at least has a condition. Your card offers almost perfect tutoring without a drawback. If you stick to it, you should check if it shouldn't read "unspent" mana instead of "unused".
I agree - you'd need somewhere between an 85.7 - 100 percent winrate.
No free ticket, so us mere mortals won't be playing for top players to get their early wins against meaning they'll mostly just face each other.
I guess streamers and other content creators might be going for it but I doubt they'll be lots 12 of win runs considering the overall size of the playerbase.
Rather have a free pack than this. Repeat random brawls aren't always super fun but at least you can complete quests in them. Guess it's casual for me this week :(
OoC for the mature discussions. Hearthpwn for the comedy.
Last expansion in hearthpwn was especially good. Didn't help that dhunters were so flagrantly overpowered when introduced. I think there's like 1 or 2 posters every week threatening to quit the game.
I think the text isn't enough for what I want it to be. So back to the drawing board for that one.
Here is another idea.
Theme: a treant minion consuming the mana of the opposing hero.
Functional: a conditional [Hearthstone Card (inneravate) Not Found] with a body. More easily played around by your opponent, but provides more of an upside.
Feedback (WIP):

Disclaimer: below is personal opinion lol.
FieselFitz - Not bad as board refill minion, though you have to lose your board to gain a board. Unsure of balance, expensive murlocs tend to not make the cut though.
Neoguli - I like the effect it is unique. I'm assuming it's only the damage right or does your opponents draw too? If it's the latter, I think you need higher stats for the minion to make it worth running.
KANSAS - I like how it fits the theme of the bar tender handing out drinks. Though I think +2 attack rather than +1/+1 is a better fit for a drunk lol
DestroyerR - I like the theme. Feels simiar to Siamat but with a pseudo deathrattle.
They could have easily half the price, scale down the rewards accordingly and give every one a free ticket. That would have been something similar to an event and much more attractive to many players. But no, its Blizzard after all.
Thank you for all your feedback, everyone. It seems everyone agreed my first idea was a bit too bland and a bit too strong (and it also seems people either love my name or hate (to spell) it, haha).
I have come up with another idea, but it was really tough to find appropriate art. I was hoping to find something vaguely wow-styled that showed a cafeteria lunch with like a fish head or something, but that proved far too obscure. I thought with an image like that and the punny name it would be perfect for Scholomance. I hope this still gets the idea across? Is it clear that it's the number of piranhas that increases whenever a friendly minion dies? This would have to be in the hand for it to count up, but "while this is in your hand" has been variously included or not with no apparent consistency, so I left it off to save text.
Looks decent - i would spell out the 3 (Summon three 1/1 Piranhas ...) cause i think the it would make the text look more smothly because of the 1/1 numbers afterwards.
And thx for all the feedback to everyone :)
Normally this would be correct.
However, since the number of piranhas is what is being upgraded, using 3 in numeric form is actually correct here.
Ah ok, yes that makes sense!
Thx for clearing that up!
Heres my "new" Version - i zoomed in on the Pic a little bit.

I personaly would change the stats to 3/6 and loose the windfury.

I for myself do not have a problem if an old art is used - sometimes its realy hard to find the right art so personaly think its ok to use old art or art that we know from other cards etc.
The Effect seems pretty interesting … not sure about the Stats but i guess they are fine.
Whelp! I really didn't want to give people a headache with the theme. There had been an interesting No Neutrals card in the WCDC the week before which wasn't Paladin and I got curious what would come out if we focused on that effect. Turns out there's a reason why Blizz hasn't given those cards to all the classes. Really great results nevertheless. I rated all the finalists 4 or 5 stars.
One more try. Too bad I couldn't find a different piece of art to avoid using this one from Karazhan. Sure, Roll the Bones reuses one from an adventure, but showing something more original will help more. EDIT: I'm also not that confident in reviewing other people's stuff, so don't really expect me to hear my opinion. Maybe I'll try to review some in the future.
Lord Barov is an additional board clear, so I'd assume he's good but you can run the deck without him.
Soda commented on a question about Dr. Boom: "Dr boom give you the source in the later game, I don't suggest you cut it, but odd warrior can win aggro without Dr boom" I very much agree with that, the deck doesn't seem to have that much value for control mirrors and other late game scenarios without Boom.
I was really tempted to try it since I had a lot of success with some off meta decks buuuut ..... the rewards are only satifying starting from 8 wins. Everything below is a loss imo. The chance of that happening is considerably lower than in arena, were the general skill level is much lower. Only really confident and strong players (along some gambling junkies) will play this mode.
Also keep in mind that you are trading 10 packs from the next expansion for Scholomance packs. That’s a bad deal since decks on day one of an expansion are way more valuable
