  • Week 3 of the Forbidden Library - Heroic Brawliseum & the Magic of Dalaran Card Back Returns

    It's obvious that we can't look directly at 12 wins. Even my average wins is between 3-6 in arena. So the conclusion is, my 1000 gold is better spend somewhere else. coz it's not worth it.

    Pokeniner - Now that's a great joke with the name and the art. The effect is neat, although I am slightly worried that it would end up going the same route as Roll the Bones.

    BloodMefist - A brilliant reference to the real life Gordon Ramsay, and a smart usage of an existing WoW NPC. The flavor (and that pun is going to keep happening whether I want it to or not) is pretty on-point too. I'd say this is pretty good.

    Neoguli - A completely fair enough card by itself, but it seems extremely out of place in theme. Any possible reference to cooking or eating you could mangle from this will not be obvious enough for a lot of people when it comes to voting.

    Anchorm4n - Ah, I remember when Big Game Hunter was meta. Conflicting times, conflicting times. Your card seems fine to me. Actually, something somewhat hilarious is imagining a Deep Sea Predator eating another Deep Sea Predator.

    TheHoax91 - A flavorful (hahahahahahahahahahahahaha) representation of Patchwork with a neat effect, although depending on how specific "phases" of combat work, it might be hard to use the effect properly since it has 4 Health.

    JackJimson - I think the proper text would be "Give your Beasts Immune this turn, then they attack a random enemy minion. If they kill any, they gain Health equal to the damage dealt". This however would end up being 5 lines of text with no convenient way to short it enough, so you're best off with a different card instead.

    FieselFitz - I enjoy the second version much more than the first. I think it's a solid interpretation of the effect. I'm not sure how good it would be in comparison to Underbelly Angler, but that card was a mistake to being with.

    Inconspicuosaurus - I feel like the card is probably too weak. I'd say you could probably make it 4 mana. Based on Nethrandamus, I feel like you could probably use "Upgrades each time a friendly minion dies" for the upgrade part. That said, the card itself is pretty hilarious in terms of the connection between the name, art, and effect, which I really like.

    DavnanKillder - Deadly Banquet seems fine for a Rogue Secret, although the flavor feels off. In this situation, normally only person is the target for murder (the owner of the establishment where the gathering in question is taking place). Innocent Apple Seller is a fine reference to Snow White, although judging by how Corruption is not played, I feel like this wouldn't either.

    Thanks! How do you like the Hunter spell though (a few posts downward on page 2)? I think it fits the theme much better.

    Oh, Sharing the Spoils. Sorry, kinda glossed over it.

    I like the effect, but I feel you can get away with making it 3 mana (and not changing anything else).

    @Demonxz95 - I made the card resemble a Chandelier by using the allowed, secondary theme of creating cards like Silverware Golem. I do sometimes think it should be actually named Feastful Chandelier to better match the theme.

    Silverware Golem counts because it's made out of a bunch of silverware. Forks, knives, plates, etc. Stuff you use to eat. A chandelier not so much

    Quote From Inconspicuosaurus

    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.

  • Week 3 of the Forbidden Library - Heroic Brawliseum & the Magic of Dalaran Card Back Returns

    Welp, useless week to me.

  • À La Card - Card Design Competition Discussion Thread

    Three chefs enter. ONE LEAVES.

    The last one doesn’t transform if they are killed at once, so I allowed myself to make it a little OP. Thoughts?

  • Week 3 of the Forbidden Library - Heroic Brawliseum & the Magic of Dalaran Card Back Returns

    So if we don't get a free initial run, this exciting new event means we actually *lose* a pack reward compared to every other normal week.

    I'll be glad when this event is over.  Bring back Midsummer Fire Festival for double gold for 2 weeks, or the gold + dust quests :)

  • Week 3 of the Forbidden Library - Heroic Brawliseum & the Magic of Dalaran Card Back Returns

    There will be.  Major event with *5* new things added for you to buy in the shop! :P

    Plus a new brawl that costs $10 a shot!  Oh wait that's in this "event".

  • 梦之郡丨雨爱's Odd Warrior

    How important is Dr.Boom in this deck? I don't want to recraft him for this deck. Same with Lord Barov.

  • Week 3 of the Forbidden Library - Heroic Brawliseum & the Magic of Dalaran Card Back Returns

    Agreed.

    I miss the 2 and even 3 week events where we got double gold, gold + dust quests or even free packs every day.

    Those were the days.

  • 6 Fiery Off-Meta Decks to Surprise the Runeterra Ladder

    The Anivia and Ashe combos are cool to see in tournaments, but in Ranked they are exactly why we need a card like Hush. (And the fact that people were able to use them to qualify is proof that Hush is not harming the meta in any way.)

  • Week 3 of the Forbidden Library - Heroic Brawliseum & the Magic of Dalaran Card Back Returns

    I'm pretty sure it works the same as in Arena, so you'll be matched against others with the same number of wins and losses as you (or as close as it can get). Thanks to the Hearthstone Wiki I was able to find this old tweet confirming this is how it worked before: https://twitter.com/bbrode/status/788106922067046402

    I have no idea how many players actually play it at any one time though. If that number is small (which it very well might be) then your wins/losses might be less important than the simple fact that you were queuing at the same time.

  • 6 Fiery Off-Meta Decks to Surprise the Runeterra Ladder

    I didn't play much after the last patch, but it seems it was amazing for the game

  • À La Card - Card Design Competition Discussion Thread

    Hi guys.

    The very first idea who crossed my mind when i read the theme was poisoned food or intoxication by food, then I made this two cards. What do you think, I apprexiate The feedback after the last transparency report 😓.

    I think this is the solo content for this expansion, coming out 10 months straight... The think I am most afraid of is, this replacing the next expansions solo adventure...

  • À La Card - Card Design Competition Discussion Thread

    Here's my first idea, although it seems someone else had the same idea for the main spell (p.s. there's literally no other art online for this):

    Refreshment spells:

    I might make more Refreshemtn spells, but I just did this on my phone and it was painful enough. I will post feedback to other peoples' cards later once I get back to my computer.

  • Is Out Of Cards where it's at?

    A lot of the sentiments I have on this question have already been mentioned by other eloquent posters - but to summarize:

    1) This community seems a lot less toxic and more helpful than other alternative sites. The forums experience here is just so much more pleasant on many levels.

    2) I am a daily lurker/user of this site for the Hearthstone content only. This is the the only place I come for HS game news and updates.

    3) This is not the only place I come for deck lists and deck guides. I like the aesthetic here a ton, but other sites like Hearthpwn give me the impression of being more dynamic and decks seem to get a lot more interest/discussion there. I don't visit those other sites daily, but when I want to try out a new (non-original) idea, I will check there for discussion.

    Feedback for everyone!

    Show Spoiler

    Demonxz95 - I love it. Humorous, fits the theme, fits the direction HS took the Lich King in their ad materials for KFT, and some much needed Freeze Shaman support.

    linkblade91 - I like the idea, and the art is adorable, but the effect is not very clear from the text and I don't really know how you'd fix that. I can only suggest a different effect with the same art.

    Cg8889 - A very interesting idea. I like that it's sort of like a living secret, and it plays into druids whole "5 or more attack" theme. I just think the concept in general would be more suited to Rogue than Druid.
    Oops, just saw you posted a new idea. This one is very cool, and the name and theme are great, as is the attribution to Gadgetzan (although I could just as easily see it in Kharazan). It is definitely a VERY powerful draw tool, but I suppose you can't use it for tempo plays, as whatever you draw is coming 2 turns late, so I guess it should be okay?

    Valor1204 - I like it. Very clear and appropriate theme, cute art, and it would be a decent Reborn minion to help curve out Paladin quest. It could even work in quest Priest too.

    Hordaki - A fun idea, and kudos on the TGT representation. I could see this genuinely being run in Face decks, just to get around taunts and hit face when the opponent has one minion. Ironically, it would bring some interesting plays to a usually very simple playstyle for the deck.

    linkblade91 - I like this one much more :) The art is perfect, I love the unusual angle on the Menagerie theme, and destroying minions fits Warlock perfectly. Not to mention they do tend to run a weird mix of tribes in Zoo too.

    KANSAS - I much prefer Fish Dinner (werdly similar name to my new idea, but thankfully very different effects). I do think you could make it Warlock though. Warloc was the first true murloc deck, and they've had some support in the form of Seadevil Stinger in MSG. I don't see why you can't bring it back!

    Arkasaur - The effect is very interesting, but I am not sure how it really fits the competition theme. How does it give the card back if it eats it? I am not sure I want to know…

    grumpymonk - The art is amazing and the effect is very cool. The damage seems high considering it isn't bad even without the weapon boost, but I guess it being only undamaged minions should make it okay.

    Pokeniner - I love the art and how perfectly it fits the punny name. Big props for that lol. The effect seems to fit the greedy idea of the art and name too, so all works for me!

    BloodMefist - I love all the little nods to WoW lore and the irl Gordon Ramsay here. Even without them, it's an interesting effect that I could definitely see in the game. Neutral discards are very rare, but this seems like a good use of it.

    Neoguli - It's a really cool effect and the art is great, but I don't see how it fits the theme? I saw you explain how the effect relates to the art, but I mean, how is it related to cooking/eating? Is it an oblique reference to Beauty the Beast and the Be Our Guest segment? If so, that seems a bit to tenuous a link to me…

    anchorm4n - I am a sucker for good colour synchronisation between art and card border, so this one immediately got me. The art itself is also awesome, and the effect is a kind not seen in HS in a while that I think deserves another chance. I like it!
    Didn't see your other card until after I wrote this. I stand by what I said, but I do really like the new one. The fantasy makes perfect sense, and I like that i's sort of a "chill" card that still makes perfect sense for hunter.

    TheHoax91 - This is such a cool effect, and of course very powerful, but I think the high cost and low stats balance it, while keeping a statline that could definitely make use of it, especially with things like Warrior's Galakrond battlecry. Definitely a strong contender!

    JackJimson - I like the first part of the effect (a board-wide The Beast Within is a pretty fun idea), but the second part adds unnecessary complication and doesn't really fit Hunter imo. Heals are not really a part of the class. Perhaps, if you wanted to keep that theme and reduce text on the card you could instead make it this: "Your friendly beasts gain Lifesteal and attack random enemies." You could do Lifesteal and Immune, but that would be too strong for 2 mana I think.

    FieselFitz - A cool effect and perfect art. I definitely perfer the second version though. I seems everyone wants to eat murlocs in this competition! XD

    BasilAnguis - Conjure Food is an interesting idea, and I see why it kind of has to be a Secret as it currently is, but it feels kinda clunky. You could just make it "Restore 4 Health, your next spell costs 1 less mana" to accomplish a similar effect without that added clunkiness. I think I prefer Morbid Recipe. The art for both parts is great, and the Sweney Todd thematics are on point.
