I tried to do justice to Kil'jaeden by turning your devotion to the Legion into the ultimate all-in burn bomb. This could be much better than Pyroblast, but you have to discard your entire hand to do it. If it's too strong I can drop it to 1-damage-per-card, but it is a 10-mana card with a condition so hopefully it's fine *shrugs*
Hmm, not massively feeling this theme. I feel the "pure" deck building restriction fits paladin so well, it would feel weird in other classes.
Oh well, here goes anyway.
Like Demonxz95, I want to get a hunter card in the Winners Gallery. I thought I'd play around with a card that would be (semi) playable if randomly generated, rather than being entirely dedicated to a "pure" theme. I'll have a think and see if I can come up with anything better, but as well, thoughts are appreciated.
I'll jump back later and give feedback when there's a couple more cards to look at.
Neither SpellShield nor Hush appear in any of the top-tier decks right now, so it's pretty obvious that these effects are not a problem. Targon as a region is barely represented in the competitive meta right now, apart from Trundle-ASol.
In fact, these effects are absolutely necessary if you want Targon decks to have any chance at all against the heavy hitters of the previous set.
I have to disagree on Hush, sure it doesn't appear on any top-tier deck but that's mostly because there isn't any top tier Targon deck at moment, which pretty normal since we still don't have all the cards for this expansion yet.
Most Targon decks that I encounter in ranked do run the card and she pretty much the reason why I stopped using decks like The Rekindler/Anivia or Ezreal/Karma, spending 10 rounds setting up your board and leveling up your champions, only for your opponent to deny you your win condition with one 3 mana card that you can't respond to due to it's burst speed, is not healthy card design not to mention salt inducing.
Anyway this is just my opinion on the matter fell free to disagree.
Magic struggles with the concept of power creep as well. The Amohnket, and Ixalan blocks were designed to be fun focused and didnt sell, so we got War Of The Spark.
The reality is that the difference between Targon and Bilgewater is about a 3 percent win rate. So that says all Riot needs to do is a few tiny tweaks like they have done in the past.
I played thousands of hours playing Hearthstone, Gwent and Runeterra and have seen a ton of expansions being released. They all feature similar elements : wild Combos, increased RNG and cards above the power average of older ones.
Except they don't. Call of the Mountain cards are not more powerful than the ones from Rising Tides. All of the most powerful archetypes from Rising Tides still work, and most are better than any of the new archetypes. For the most part, these old archetypes use only one or two of the new cards since the update.
Here's what expansions for all card games do have in common: Bad players immediately complaining about cards that seem to them to be too strong when in reality there's nothing overpowered about them. Players who don't even understand the game accusing the developers of being bad at game design. And best of all, players with a favorite archetype that is slightly threatened by a new card who say this will make them quit the game.

Not gonna lie, I was absolutely sure I was going to win this one.
But if there was a card I'd lose to, grumpymonk's would've been it. Nice job, grumpy.

Congratulations to grumpymonk!

Not when it's in my hand obviously...
Per the rules it is allowed, which is why I asked if they want to change that. No reason to downvote in discussion thread imo.
Pure Of Heart - Card Design Competition Discussion Thread
No because then you’d have a neutral card in your deck...
Pure Of Heart - Card Design Competition Discussion Thread
I'm not really a fan of this. You can just run Neutral cards and mostly negate the downside

Could I post this (grossly overpowered as it is) without being disqualified, or do you want to update the rules?

Did they give cagnetta a win for that game, or at least have them replay it? They should have. He would have won, had the bug not happened.
The New Bannerman
I have full confidence in all of your abilities to rotate 3 cards. If you're talking about it you're interested in trying it so just do that...

We still have no Hunter winners yet, so here I come to change that.

Yup. Did think that may have been too easy. Your turn

Demon hunter should be excluded because they only play class cards anyway, lol

Competition Theme: Pure Of Heart
We're looking to give people the purest deckbuilding experience possible this week - get those Neutral cards away from us!
This week anchorm4n is forcing us to pick a side - nobody can stay Neutral in this competition!
As always, I can be reached through Discord or here on the site via PM if you have any issues to report.
Competition Phases
Here are the phases of this card design competition

Should they add more celestial cards?
The subset is perfect with one spell and one unit of each mana cost. Why would anyone want to mess with that?
