I'm kinda bummed I didn't see Monsanto's evolve shaman deck. I've been using it a lot and I've been able to keep up with aggro and turn the tables relatively easy with control.
So close yet so far to making finals ;-; Well, on to the next contest! Went a little gung-ho with legendary cards in my initial idea phase this time around because I discovered some cool Warcraft NPCs I'd never heard about and wanted to push them into HS.
Grennan pushes Overload synergy without creating too much risk of degenerate one-shots (I think). There aren't many cheap face-damage spells that you can chain off of him, assuming you are already Overloaded for a couple mana, but he might need a mana increase just in case. His place in a deck would be to provide a mid-late game threat with the ability to especially utilize cheap removal Shaman sometimes gets, like Zap! or [Hearthstone Card (Bottled Lightning) Not Found].
I have mixed feelings on Meryl. Super love his art design and want to make a card of him, but I'm not in love with his design. His card design is meant to push the control aspect of Warlocks spells while not opening avenues for more one-shot mechanics. I personally hate OTK decks and really hate how my precious Supreme Archaeology has gone from fun meme time to another Malygos abusing OTK. I know this doesn't help solve that problem, but it doesn't push it either.
Cyanigosa is a character that I really enjoy and think has some very cool potential in this contest. I wanted her to explicitly synergize with Malygos since she is one of his main supporters/lieutenants. Although this version does synergize very well with Maylgos, her high cost makes it difficult to bring that synergy out. That said, it would be quite the high-roll to get her and Malygos off of Conjurer's Calling.
Here's to hoping that I can make into finals this time around! I'll post feedback tomorrow after more cards are put up.
EDIT: Put up a version of Merlyn that falls in line with the theme, since the original did not. Less sure about this one since he further facilitates some OTK nonsense, but we'll see how the feedback rolls.
I played Spiteful-Priest back then when these Decks where Meta. I reached Rank 5 for the 1st Time, but it felt so cheap and utterly dull. Play all the Neutrals Everyone else plays, go Face, and win because of a Highroll Spiteful Summoner on Curve.
I also played a fair bit of Standard Res Priest last Season just to rank up a bit and see for myself if it's as braindead as it's Wild Counterpart.
We had a bit of an issue with the Transparency Report this week. We believe it was accidentally generated early, before all the votes had been accounted for. As such, it mistakenly listed anchorm4n as this week's winner (by an amazingly small margin). In fact, this week's winner is Wailor.
This is now correctly reflected in the Transparency Report, and in the future the Transparency Report will not be available until the winner has been fully confirmed by the moderators.
Apologies for the error - we don't expect it to happen again with the new system.
I had 3 ideas so I made 3 cards and I think they're all legal I'm not really sure.
Some explanations for my cards because I made them kinda weirdly.
Show Spoiler
Los: Say you had Malygos on board and used two fireballs he would then summon an 11/11 elemental
SDPC: Simple enough whenever it would take damage from a spell it instead gains spell damage, so instead of dying to a frostbolt they get +1 spell damage
MEGABLAST!: This is exactly what it says on paper every spell damage is like Malygos to this
All buffs are stripped from a unit once it is recalled. Edit: I should say buffs are stripped. Cards return to their default state upon recall.
This includes: - Permanent Buffs like Stand Alone. - Permanent Keyword added on. Such as Sumpworks Map. - Purified Cards such as They Who Endure losing it's wording and becoming a 1/1. Recalling and playing it again will remove the Purify effect. - Using Death Mark to remove Ephemeral from Darkwater Scourge then having it recalled will put the Ephemeral back on Darkwater Scourge. - This will also include cards that have buffs no matter where the card is such as Mistwraith and Legion Marauder.
Three ideas, one I had on file, and the others just came up with:
First Arcanist Thalyssra - Looked through random cards I made and came across this one which I made for the "Here's some art, make a card" thread. Probably won't submit this one, but always interesting to get feedback.
Arcane Brilliance - Just came up with this and I'm pretty excited by the idea. I think it might need to be 3 mana though. Thoughts?
Mana Droplet - Give Mage some good Spell Damage early in Elemental decks.
Feedback:

@linkblade91 - Out of the 3 I like Savage Moonkin the best. The other two just feel awkward to me, and I can't think of a better way to word it to have it feel less awkward.
@Demonxz95 - I'm not sold, but I like the creativity. Definitely not for 6 mana. Rapid Fire exists which would just be completely broken.
I recalled a legion marauder with the 2 cost retreat card but my Legion Marauder wasnt buffed from my previous attacks. I won anyway, but isn't this a bug?
I have two ideas: one that I printed for my custom expansion, and a rough draft I made up just now:
All Moonkins have Spell Damage +2, so mine does as well. It also gives your hero +2 Attack.
"Essence Drainer" is a rubbish name, and the effect might not be immediately obvious. If you have Spell Damage +1, Arcane Missiles would deal 4 and heal you 1; Greater Arcane Missiles would deal 12 and heal you 3, for another example. If you have more Spell Damage, you'll heal for more on top of the additional damage you deal. If anyone can phrase it better, I would be appreciative.
Essence Leecher is an alternative phrasing for the effect.
I play a lot of meme combo decks and I have fun showing off the combo during the game before pulling off the win. So if I'm wining, but it is by a mile, I'll intentionally delay the game and make bad trades so that I can play the deck as intended. Unless the opponent is BMing badly I don't want to just win a normal boring way.
I also play whatever decks I want in casual, whether total memes or top tier decks. Imo, that is what casual is for, to play what you want without having to play against the same decks or stress winning/losing as much.
I have no qualms in keeping my opponent in a match longer, if the situation calls for it. I'm a big time Ice Cream Shaman player (with my personal armor high score getting a few hundred shy of 10k armor), and I also at times play with infinite Nozdormu/'infinite' turn shenanigans to get that -600+ damage pillager on the opponent.
I think it's fine to cast Shadow Council if you have a full hand or at least close to a full hand as the tempo from all the buffed demons will outweigh the gain you get from the highlander cards in most cases, although it depends on the situation, if you have low health and really need Reno then it may be better to try to get to Renounce.
Kanrethad Ebonlocke is really good in Discard Warlock and some Reno Warlocks.
200 Damage Rogue Dagger!
I can appreciate a good meme deck

Must be agonizing to be that close but not get it.
On another note, France asserts its dominance in the European region. So many French GMs.

Hearthstone Battlegrounds Patch 17.4 Notes - Pirates Entering BGs, Felfire Festival, Outland Solo Content, and More!
Seems like this patch also fixed the bug where Nozdormu leaving the board on your turn during the rope would reset the rope & your turn.
Unfortunately this kills a couple fun meme decks, but probably good for the game in the long run.

I have no idea how well this idea will be received, but here I go anyway.
In other words, all of your spells deal exactly 5 damage.

Renounce Council
I think it's fine to cast Shadow Council if you have a full hand or at least close to a full hand as the tempo from all the buffed demons will outweigh the gain you get from the highlander cards in most cases, although it depends on the situation, if you have low health and really need Reno then it may be better to try to get to Renounce.
Kanrethad Ebonlocke is really good in Discard Warlock and some Reno Warlocks.

Wassculaire is looking for us to improve some spells this week - what do you mean not all spells deal damage?
