Lol imagine playing casual with a deck that loses to rez gala priest and not conceding right away and procedes to offend opponent.
Anyways i always hear about tales of ppl adding others saying stuff like that but ive hever never experienced it. Why? Why ppl dont want to add me and insult me? I find it strange. Is it a server thing?
UPDATE: not a bug, it's intended. I sent a ticket to ask about this. Looks like as soon as a challenged unit leaves its position it's not subject to Challenge anymore. I guess we can only see that with Stand United though, since it's the only burst spell that affects units' positions on the board (maybe Transfusion could create some similar interaction with the right unit, idk, these are the only 2 burst cards that mess with the board dealing damage or moving units). Also I guess Vulnerable would have the same interaction with the card.
This is my favorite deck that made me rank up so much, my favotire champion is swain, i love how he can stun the most annoying champion. i love how aggro this deck is, just mainly focusing on hittin on enemy nexus, making them use their powerful spells and cards in early game. Easy gg and high winrate.
EASY GG!

For what it's worth, I agree that it's counter-intuitive, and I generally hate that in CCGs, but I there are several reasons I don't think it's a big deal:
The text makes it explicit what should happen, so there are easy ways in which players can educate themselves before or after seeing this happen
The likelihood that you find yourself in this position (that is, spending your damage-based spells targeting your units) is low, so most of the time the kegs will explode as expected through the natural course of the game
When this unintuitive interaction occurs, it generally benefits you because you still have the Powder Keg
There are cases where the Powder Keg's vulnerability could be a liability (e.g. against Sejuani), but that third point is mostly true, and a big part of why I don't mind this. Unintuitive interactions that lose you the game feel awful, but ones that can benefit you aren't as bad from a player experience standpoint.
Not as of right now, but something we might think about and do in the future ;-)
If you do it, do it also for runettera as well, you could offer them as rewards as well. :D (although it's really nothing special but just "add" for simple juggling between them.
Feather the Redeemed is my favorite commander currently. I love value and she can certainly provide a lot of it, getting your spells back every round is quite nice. Also she alleviates the lack of card draw which is one of the biggest weaknesses in Boros. Provided of course she can enter the battlefield and stay there a bit (which is kind of the problem with her as she is the prime removal target for every opponent)
Congrats to the team and also thanks a lot for the great week so far
I love the combination Green-White-Black, therefore in the past I was playing Commander with Doran, the Siege Tower, which gives me access to various amazing cards, able to answer all threats. But now that I read this article, maybe I will try Nethroi, Apex of Death, which is the same color combination!
But it is very counterintuitive if you ask me. If the damage gets increased, the powder kegs should explode. If they don't explode, the damage should not get increased.
I'm going to put my card here and ask for a bit more feedback before submitting it.

@Xarkkal, As Linkblade mentioned, the downside won't be relevant often. You either play this when you want to trade away the entire board, or when you are going to kill your opponent. I really like the flavor, but I think you should change the card a bit to make it a bit more relevant. Instead of giving them raw stats, I think giving them keywords might be a bit better. Maybe give them Divine Shield and possibly Rush? Giving them Divine Shield encourages trading, and it also keeps the downside relevant. Rush allows you to play it on the same turn as other minions which makes the card much more usable, and it also fits with the flavor.
@CursedParrot, The card feels a bit clunky with the start of game and battlecry which both temporarily change your Hero Power. If you made the card so that it just said "Start of Game and Battlecry: Give 2 random Beasts, Dragons, and Murlocs in your deck +1/+1" then you still get the same effect but the card is a lot simpler. Aside from that the card looks great! I approve of anything to support menagerie decks.
@Inconspicuosaurus, I don't really like the randomness of it. I think if he were 10 mana and just summoned all of the warriors on your side of the field he wouldn't be overpowered.
@Leolph, Your card is interesting. I like the deck-building restriction, but I don't think the payoff is enough to justify not playing any Legendaries. Maybe if it let you discover 3 Legendaries instead of getting 3 random ones it would be better. Or maybe if it gave them all stat buffs. Also, I would try to find some art that fits with Hearthstones style a bit more. I believe the one you art you are using now is from WoW, but the quality isn't great.
@Meisterz39, The flavor is there, but the card is super weak. Maybe if he made a "grilled meat" (or something) token whenever he killed a minion and the token would restore Health to your Hero. Or maybe he could just create the token at the end of the turn.
Cg8889, I like Make a Toast better. Though I don't see why it has to buff all of the minions in your decks. I think if it was 1 mana and it just restored Health and drew a card it would be fine.
@Pokeniner, I don't like many aspects of this card. For one, I do agree with Echo and Inconspicuosaurus that shuffling 10 dead draws is a lot, and also the wording is a bit misleading. I also don't like the "if it is your birthday" bit. I understand that it isn't meant to be taken seriously, but I think the designs for this competition should be realistic. Maybe not as realistic as the other competitions, but still believable. If it just shuffled a single card into the opponents deck, and it also gave the opponent some incentive to play it, I think this card would be a lot better
.
I think your almost good to go. The card has great flavor and the art is really cool. Two things to think about before submitting: 1) create the token! (I forgot that and it will probably cost me votes) 2) think of ways for Warlock to kill the token. The 0/4 into 4/4 looks very fitting but maybe 0/3 into 3/3 would be better because of Hellfire and Flame Imp.
I often wonder what makes the better person. If you're creative on either end of the encounter maybe that is the true better person?
So, I took the time awhile back to make a little parody for flamers who add me. Looked up the lyrics for "Single Ladies" and made a parody off of it with roughly 95% original lyrics (yay!), just so that I could give myself a little personal challenge to see who, if any, flamers would stay friended to me long enough as I copy & pasted each line of my parody to them as they tried to insult me. Turns out I've actually accomplished this twice now.
First time was from this person who responded with some funny wtfs and many more stfus, but they did choose to stay friends for the whole encounter. Very interesting and a bit funny. Second person was a lot more recent than the first, said it was very cringe, but also did choose to stay for the whole thing before I unfriended.
Letter the better person (creative person) games begin I suppose!

Personally I just /ignore the friend requests, because they usually come when I win and I suspect people just want to complain about their losses. I'm not interested in listening to insults, as I prefer to concentrate on the next game and to have fun.
I honestly don't remember the very last time I accepted a friend request from a stranger, but I do remember that one time, when I played Elemental Reno Mage and got matched with a salty Beast Hunter. That game took place two years ago in the lower wild ranks. I don't remember much of it beside having good RNG and a Reno in a clutch situation. After I beat my opponent, they sent me a friend request. I dunno why I accepted it, but soon after I regretted doing so. Insults started coming in, some were directed to me, others to my family. While I didn't take those personally, I thought I could do the right thing and report that player. The guy went afk, while I was trying to figure out the report function, then I saw them having changed their name and the insults continued. This time around the dude became even more creative and used punctuation marks to express their feelings towards me. I will let you figure out on your own what those signs resembled, but just know that the dude didn't stop spamming me, untill I informed them of what I was doing. Only then did they decide to unfriend me.
Another example of why I don't add randoms: The following occurred way back in MSoG, when Pirate Warrior was a popular deck in Standard. The opponent had a big wide board, which threatened lethal. I (Renolock) coined out Reno on turn 5 and passed. On the very next turn the opponent played a charger and killed me from 30. When this happened, the warrior constantly sent me friend requests. I didn't accept any of those, as I suspected the person would only gloat over their victory, but the strange thing was how that person kept sending them long after the match. It must have been one hell of a speech they wanted to give and I denied them of this opportunity.

I like the balance, but the wording seems a little strange. I think Celestial Breath would probably be phrased more like "Deal 3 damage to all enemy minions. Deal 1 more damage for each Dragon in your hand." I also thought of two more versions that it could be:
The first one would be a way to phrase it to avoid the "+1 Damage" text (although it should probably say "repeat" instead of "recast"), and the second one would be a cool design because it motivates your opponent to clear your Dragons (including Elegon) or risk their board being cleared.
@Hordaki
As a 7 Mana Spell it seems a bit too weak, what if it reduced its cost based on the number of mechs you control? It'd look like this:
Thanks CursedParrot! I was so focused on balancing, I didn't notice how the wording was a little awkward and could be made better. Thanks for your input and ideas!
