Please nerf burn aggro - today I lost two games against it with even with him not even touching my face with direct attacks - just last breath deal dmg and burst spells. Total bulls*** not fun to play against + most of the players even rope deliberatly
It was nerfed. Pretty hard actually. He probably just got good draws or you didn't properly play around him or don't have enough ways to heal to take on burn. Who knows.
They really need to steal from the bottom. I like to play Freljord and it is really annoying when I had a great opening hand triple Omin Hawk into a yeti in the top three cards only for the enemy to steal all my buffed cards and the yeti before I could get them. >_<
I got the most positive feedback from Corpse Explosion, so I will move forward with it. I still need to decide between the generalist version and the Deathrattle version, so I'll give them one more round of feedback before submission. Also considering increasing either version by 2 mana and 1 damage.
Speaking of feedback, time for some more!
Show Spoiler
MenacingBagel: This Chu seem almost seems too good imo. It can chain super hard with Cast When Drawn effects, which while fringe, feels exceptionally bad and un-interactive on the receiving end. I think the older effect with a 5/4 stateline or maybe Taunt ("I am in your way").
CursedParrot: I like the Epic version of Violet Spellshielder that was included with Lyris. Reminds me of Arcane Artificer without being as overbearing as the later versions.
anchorm4n: I dig the card, always like to see new ways for Treant synergy. I agree with bumping it to 5 mana since he's basically Consecrate+ and a 2/4 Taunt.
bigcums: Bigger fan of Light Infusion than Light Burst. Light Burst is too easy to get as a 6+ damage nuke by targeting a Silver Hand Recruit. Light Infusion might also be a tad too strong in its current form, but I think lowering the heal to 5 puts it in a pretty good spot.
cg8889: Already seems like you're designing a new card to replace Murlox, which is good since it definitely broke Wild (well, added to the Mechwarper problem). It also feels like a forced 'x' since it could have read 'Add a copy' without pushing in 'extra'.
Hordaki: Got an 'x' to show up on both cards while feeling natural, nice. I dig the effect too, feels very in-flavor without stepping on the toes of existing Xavius. I have my biases against DH and the notion of giving them another way around Taunt worries me, but its too slow for tempo, so it should be fine. I do also like the build-around idea of getting as few of your own minions transformed as possible.
Kansas: Unfortunately this card is neither interesting nor has the required 'x'. Sad to see you move away from the original excess damage generating coins, I really liked that effect. The flavor was off on a dentist, but I think it works very well on a different flavor.
MrRhapsody: I think this is a good middle-ground design. I also question Hearthstone's supposed kid-friendly approach ever since Mistress of Blades got revealed. Still not completely sold on the effect and it does feel a bit weird how it can just kill itself. Demonxz95 brought up a good point about the flavor not quite being there.
Pokeniner: Thought the old effect was fine, but I like the new one a lot more. It adds room for interesting decision making from both sides. I think it is a bit dangerous to give a magnetic minion such high attack and think the card would still be fine at 3/1 to match Replicating Menace.
Freljord was being held back by the oppressive super aggressive aggro decks in the last meta. Freljord as a whole does poorly against aggro. They only have one heal that's tied to a 4 cost hero and all of its good tools don't really start coming online till mid game. Turn 5 or 6 which is when most aggro decks are one more hit away from the win if they haven't won already.
But with the aggro decks taken down a notch Freljord can have its time in the sun since they excell at shutting down mid range and late game decks with all their slows and constant 5+ power unites.
Yes, with the duplicate protection you also can "condition" your champion capsule to open any champion you want.
Example: You want Sejuani on Freljord capsule, you can craft 3 copy of all 4 other champs (12 cards) to make sure you open it. I know it kinda expensive, but on freljord you already got some starter champs.
Like... maybe it is only me, but - if you want Sejuani isn't it cheaper just craft him than craft 12 other champions to open him?

I decided to go with a middle term version, less censored but with the flavour keeped. The reason i asked wich version to use is that i wanted to make the card as realistic as possible, and since Hearthstone is trying to be an actual "children card game" now, i edited the original art to fit the new standard.I had no personal issue with the original, but now i think the new version will "Please both greeks and trojans" as we say in my country.
"Please both greeks and trojans" got a good laugh out of me. I'm going to start using that from now on.
I was fine with either version, but I do agree that this is a good middle ground. I'm not sure how many people would've actually penalized you for using the "uncensored" original artwork. Probably very few, if any, but this is a good "safe" option in that regard.
A 4 mana 4/3 with a [Hearthstone Card (Shadowbolt) Not Found] seems pretty strong to me, although a 4 mana 4/2 with a Darkbomb doesn't, so I guess you hit the sweet spot. Not sure I understand the flavor though. Would a smaller target be more likely to have her whip rebound and hit her?
This should make the effect more clear (the excess damage would be AOE rather than randomly split), I saw people think it would still work at 4 Mana. I was thinking a different idea tho, here's what i got for it:
This would make the card a much more defensive minion rather than offensive clearing than originally thought. I personally like the first design, but the 2nd design I think is pretty neat.

And now a lightning speed feedback:
BloodMefist: I prefer the old Corpse Explosion but the new one is fine too
CursedParot: The epic version of Violet Spellshielder is my favorite.
KANSAS: For me you should stick to the first Goblin Dentist, but it seens i'm a minority.
Anchorman: Looks a lot better than the fox, i liked it.
Bigcums: I prefer Light Infusion, Light Burst seens too powerful.
Hordaki: Liked it a lot, but maybe 4 attack or 3 health would be fine since primes in general are overstated for its cost and effect.
It seems my card has a couple of issues. I will save that idea for another time and come up with something else for now.
What do you think?
Unfortunately, by judges call, this is not a legal entry since it doesn't actually use the letter X, and writing "six" in this instance would be incorrect wording
I tried to play some Gwent in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, but I couldn't get into it. Decided to skip all of the sidequests related to the card game, which screwed me when I came into a situation where I had to play it >_> Got crushed and lost 40% of my gold.
They reworked the game ENTIRELY, it's not about rows anymore it's much more complex right now it's about 6 factions IIRC with many archtypes and such it's DEFINITELY not about playing legendary units and spies as much as you can like in W3.
I think W3 actually gives the game bad reputation it's better than it, I would suggest giving it a try.

Cg8889: You might have to shuffle an extra copy into your deck instead to avoid the infinite Mechwarper combos.
bigcums: Light Infusion could be worded better (maybe limit it to minions and "gain +1/+1 for each excess health". Light Burst should be higher since targeting a minion with full health is basically a double Flamestrike.
anchorm4n: I like the Protector, and I don't think putting it in Witchwood is much of a problem since Year of the Raven was when Treat support became a thing. But 5 Mana would definitely be more balanced.
KANSAS: I think the six Coins is pretty forced, I don't know if this idea will work for the competition.
CursedParrot: I think the Violet Spellshielder would be more readable if it used Overkill in some way. Maybe "If you Overkill a minion with a spell, gain Armor equal to the excess damage."
MenacingBagel: I think that works, just make sure to include a token of the Improvised Explosives when you submit.
BloodMefist: I'd go with the Corpse Explosion out of the three.
meisterz39: I like it, not much else to say about it.
MrRhapsody: I'd go with the family-friendly one since that's the direction Hearthstone is going in.
TheHoax91: Aldor Artificer is too simple, but I also think Felo'melorn might be too complicated.
Valor1204: Maybe it would read better if it only shifted once?
DestroyerR: Too much of a meme to be pulled off well.
Pokeniner: Is the damage randomly split? Because otherwise this should be at least 4 Mana.
grumpymonk: Bestow Faith works, but Keeper Remulos would break the entire game.
Demonxz95: I'd go with Soul Enchantress out of the two.
linkblade91: I like Plague Doctor the best of the two, I'm surprised they didn't bring back the Toxins before this.
Thanks for the feedback! I'm a bit torn about the cost, Linkblade thought it might be too weak at 5...
I like your take on Xavius a lot. If anything, maybe make the first card a 3/4/3, it looks odd not having an aggressive stat line. If you're worried about that being too much, I could imagine 3/4/2 being cool as well (like my Terrestian Illhoof two weeks ago).

I quite like Xavius as well. Has a nice, standout, semi-buildaround effect.
Xavius, Nightmare Lord is the Prime legendary that DH never got, and is meant to be a key piece in Demon decks for board clears since it can preserve your board if you build it right.
I like this card a lot: it's a good "callback" to the current Xavius, while still being unique enough to stand out on its own. It would obviously go in a Demon-focused Demon Hunter deck, or even in a theoretical Control DH that doesn't yet exist. Mass-transform is a very powerful effect, though; I'm wondering if Xavius Prime should cost more, but maybe it's fine.
