I mean, that's your opinion and I totally get it! I was personally really happy with it (as were many other people), but if you don't like it, that's great! Just, no hard feelings, OK?
Also, I'd love to hear your feedback so I could improve my card-making! What in particular made you dislike it?
Golden cards are great and all, but most players dont need golden cards they just need cards to play with.
So substituting 1 golden epic, 2 commons and a rare with 5 packs and a bunch of rare cards. Yeah that works out fine for most of us. Especially since the packs can sometimes net you a legendary, or more than 1 epic.
Also, let's not forget that the vast majority of players dont get that far to receive that gilded golden epic card.
Sounds like an amazing experience, even with the possibility to get Covid-19 while far away from home. The only thing stopping me from purchasing a entry is that I know I do not have a chance to win since people can pay for hundreds of them.
Lol, this theme was the one i was thinking to suggest in case i won a compettition, but now that it is here i'm a lot less inspired than i thought i would be. But i managed to think in some decent ideias, go to the SPOILERS for Hero Power's reveal and CLARIFICATIONS.
Show Spoiler
CLARIFICATIONS FOR POSSIBLE DOUBTHS:
Element Extractor: It creates a (2) mana Hero Power aside the chosen minion's cost. The name of the Hero Power will always be named "Elemental Essence", i puted Sluge Sluper Essence just to use as a clear exemple.
Final Form: The Hero Power IS NOT Demonic Blast, it stays forever and costs 1 more mana, therefore, its a diferent Hero Power and is inside the rules of making a custom Hero Power. I might consider being more creative on the Hero Power if people shows interest in the card.
Cursed Blood: The first version posted was the original, but i see that someone made a card with a very similar Hero Power, so i made a second version to be more original.
I like where both your heads are at on this. Specifically, I would recommend:
Changing Avalanche to either 4 damage or to fast speed. I spent a lot of time trying this month to make this card work, and even with a glut of P&Z / Noxus burn decks and Demacia bannerman decks it just stinks. The burn decks will always open attack, the bannerman decks will mostly survive it, and if there's a Crimson Disciple on-board you'll probably lose as much health as you prevent. It's just insane how much better Withering Wail is: for 1 more mana, the damage is fast-speed limited to your opponent's board and you heal.
Either buff Counterfeit Copies to shuffle more copies or make it guaranteed to put one on/near the top. I know what you're thinking--that's a P&Z card, not a Frejlord--but its intended to be part of the Elnuk package. Granted nobody wants a return to pre-nerf Elnuk madness, but it should be possible to build a Frejlord/P&Z deck that can contest a bannerman deck on turn 5 with some consistency.
Remove the "if" clause on Poro Herder--he just always tutors you 2 poros. Maybe also make Poro Snax add a random poro to hand? Basically: poros should be an easily slottable package comparable to spiders in SI, Eye of the Dragon + spells in Ionia, or aggro / Can't Block in Noxus.
Reduce the cost of She Who Wanders--maybe a 8 mana 8/8? She's suppose to be a stabilization tool circa The Ruination, but whereas SI can bank mana and heal/stall until Ruination on 6, its nearly impossible for Frejlord to survive until 10 without already winning board anyways.
I've seen Counterfeit Copies run in Ezreal/Karma decks just to have more cheap burst, but I doubt the extra shuffle would meaningfully impact that deck's success.
I really want Avalanche to be better, and I like your suggested changes to it in general. 4 damage might be a little high for a card that can come down on turn 3, but it definitely needs either a speed or damage buff. I also like the Poro Herder change (I've been trying to make a Poro deck work recently), but I don't know that it will make for a major improvement to a dedicated Poro deck - if you don't have one or more Poros in play most of the game, you're probably losing. It would make running a small "Poro Package" feasible in some other deck, but I'm not sure it has the flexibility of the spiders package to be worth it.
Mostly used to generate more Pursuit copies once his condition is met, but its also good to duplicate cards that works great against a specific MU. Stuff like more draw, removals, EZ activators, extra healing, etc.
This is my first idea so far. Perhaps not the most balanced but i went with maximum flavor this time. Xal'atath corrupting your mind with shadow words. One idea i have, in case you guys deem infinite removal too op, is to just have it as an aura tied to the weapon. So you can lose the weapon and the hero power with it.
Feedback regarding my ideas has been a little all over the place, in regards to what people prefer. With that in mind, I came up with something else lol

Edwin VanCleef will have his revolution, and the Alliance will tremble before the might of the Common people!
If you prefer an old idea from Page 1, just let me know :)
You don't need the "combo" on the Hero Power. If your minion has summoning sickness then it probably means you played it from your hand and have the combo ready to trigger.
You're probably right: I just included it as a catch-all in case something down the line existed to bring up the issue, like a Start of Turn summoning effect or whatever. Al'ar, for example, or pulling Waxadred's Candle/Spider Ambush!.
If it bugs people I'll remove it.
I personally see no issue with it, but that's just me. Then again, I love seeing weird stuff when it comes to things like Hero Powers, and you rarely see Combo in one, if at all.
There is nothing wrong with having a Combo in the Hero Power (I personally think it is a neat idea), but the combo in this Hero Power is just unnecessary.
Well, I just found out someone submitted a card extremely similar to mine. Guess it's back to the drawing board! No hard feelings to whoever submitted it though, I guess I should've been more confident about it lmao.
Agree with all your changes except the Counterfeit one. There are other applications for this card outside the Elnuk combo. i've been running Counterfeit Copies in a Purrsuit of Perfection + Heimerdinger deck and it works very well as it is.

It should, yes; otherwise I probably would not have opened my golden Onyxia. Your mileage may vary, of course, depending on how many Golden Classic packs you've already opened.
I am at at least 9, and never opened a legendary in Golden Pack... I'm either super unlucky, or golden packs don't have pity timers.

idiot design this card, it is totally unfair in expedition mode. I uninstall this fking game. Player can win the game only by this card in expedition mode.
Do the odds increase the closer you are to the pity timer?
Really? has this progressive chance increased been confirmed or hinted at before?
I've often suspected it, but obviously never confirmed

They sure are taking there sweet time with the adventures. I wonder why this year they are waiting until June.
Here's some art, make a card! [Legacy Game]

Interesting. Do you know if the guaranteed legendary in the first 10 packs rule applies for golden classic packs distinctly from regular classic too?

$15 for a bunch of common gold cards and MAYBE something better than a few rare gold cards? Seems pretty steep.
