This seems solid enough, but a lot more set up than before.  But, that is the way of the nerf

I like it when they do this.  I think it helps people that are returning to the game and new players to help build up cards that will be used in standard for the next year. 

Quote From Helios

I don't think the problem is with mods of these pages rather than the community itself. Hearthstone community is good but it's REAALLY OVERPROTECTIVE over hearthstone and I've tried to test that couple of times. People in the community slam you with insane ammount of dislikes if you have any bad comment for the game. It's not good for the health of the community and game. Chill guys, it's just a game. If I feel a card/deck is op and should be fixed, take into consideration that is ONLY an opinion. And to think that it is a pay to win game too, so I kind of have a right to express my anger and discontent when i feel like it because of the money I've paid for the game. Hearthpwn community seems to have a lot more aggressive people than outofcards. I swear, every time i see a "oh you don't like it? then stop playing" comment i will slap that dislike faster than the speed of light.

It's not the problem of Hearthpwn only. OutOfCard has the same problem. Stupid fanboys, giving minuses for the truth about Bli$$ard. But, yeah, whatever. 

not a bad deal, probably good for new or returning players.

Pretty pointless for anyone else though since we should have most of the cards we want thanks to the dupe protection rule.

At least they didn't hide a skin behind this one.

Quote From Voidium

If i'm not mistaken, we are only getting ONE new region in the next 120+ set of cards...

The official announcement strongly implied but didn't explicitly state that we would get just 1 new region:

And most exciting of all: LoR will launch with a brand new set of 120+ cards, including a new region!

If I had to guess, I'd say one new region (Bilgewater?) with ~60 new cards and 4-5 champions, and then each of the existing 6 regions gets 10 new cards including 1 new champ (63 cards / 5 champs total).

…and if the Season Road is tied to ranked mode (which is 2 months long) then i think we should "normally" get the season road exp going on right after next week official release.

I believe each it will be each expansion = one "season" = ranked mode period = 16 weeks.

This is what happens when no one has the ability to lead effectively and no personality...

Well whoever he or she or it is they have zero sense of humor and enjoy punitive action.

Maybe one day I'll be more creative. Ha! I just like solid cards that I understand the power of (but I need a lot more practice to balance them properly). Also, I keep forgetting about this thread until after I make my submission.

Anyways, I'm here because I started thinking about its interaction with Eaglehorn Bow if it's destroyed on your turn. To be clear, I don't want it to interact, since it'd be weird for Eaglehorn to go to 0 Durability, trigger the Secret, then pop back up to 1 Durability. I tried to avoid this by choosing the word "after", but in terms of the game's mechanics, I'm not sure how this scenario would resolve. Does anyone know?

but the fact that they made their most notorious troll a mod was reason enough for me to never post there again.

Who's the person you are referring to? I'm really curious.

Let's just say there's a certain desert insect over there who's very good at taking a certain stance and refusing to acknowledge any opposition, no matter how valid it may be, very frequently. And that person is now a moderator, seems like a match made in heaven :)

i was wondering the same, but i didnt want to start some hate train on a mod even if its not from this website. BUT i am curious xd

i dont think its random, its because of the Twitch Event going on now. plus we 2 weeks into the HS year, so its a nice throwback specially cause year of the dragon exp are still gonna be standard for one more year

But... Why now?

It feels kinda random.

Quote From KANSAS

It seems like the face damage was bothering people, so I took it off and made it deal 4 damage instead. It is hard to balance this idea without making it just like Flame Ward but harder to trigger. I am also unsure of how much mana I can cheat with this card when Hidden Wisdom is so underwhelming and Rat Trap is so overwhelming. I decided that making this secret like a 3 mana delayed Flamestrike would be okay when Rat Trap is effectively a 2 mana delayed Boulderfist Ogre. The secret also kind of balances itself out because it won't always clear the board when you need it too.

Here is my new card:

Here is some feedback:

@Demonxz95, I like it, but without the rest of the "wild west" expansion it kind of feels out of place. Also, it seems a bit too easy to play around. Realistically, I don't think you are going to be drawing a lot of cards with this. I would vote 3 stars, strong theme, but too easy to play around.

@DestroyerR, Legendary Secret? Intriguing. While the ability is very interesting and balanced (if a little on the strong side), I don't like it because this has to be the most annoying card to play against in all of Hearthstone. I would hate to have this played against me. It slows down the game and really, it would just make people salty. I voted 2 stars, because while it is creative, it isn't a very healthy card for the game.

@Xarkkal, I like Stray Arrow the best. It really fits hunters style, and it is also super balanced. I it also very interesting to play around, do they drop a small minion to protect their more valuable minions, or do they attack and then play their minions in case it is Explosive Trap? One thing though, would this trigger if there is only 1 adjacent minions? That would fit with how cards like Cleave and Multi-Shot work, but it would also make it super easy to play around by just attacking with your minion to the far left/right of the board.

@Anchrom4n, This is just a worse version of Frost Nova. Also, I would like to minimize the number of mass freeze effects in Hearthstone so that Combo Mage doesn't end up freezing your board for 12 turns in a row before comboing you to death.

@Conduit, I really like it. It feels balanced, but still worth playing. My one concern though it that it would be way too easy to just play The Coin and then the spell they wanted to play. Unlike Counterspell, this doesn't make the opponent lose any cards, just mana. So as long as they have a cheap spell, this secret becomes useless.

@Nirast, very cool. I am not sure what the correct wording would be (we have never had a card like this in hearthstone before), but I think "Unsheath" is the word I would use. It is that kind of not-a-keyword-but-kind-of-like-a-keyword thing that happens in Hearthstone sometimes with cards like Swampqueen Hagatha.

@Almaniarra, Out of the two I like Leeching Poison better, mainly because Dismantle is a bit useless. However, as you mentioned, you would have to change the name because Leeching Poison is a card. What about, "Blood Infusion"? Or is that too gruesome and Warlock-y for a Rogue card? One other thing, you should change the watermark to a more appropriate expansion.

@ZardozSpeakz, Spell Duel is my favorite. It fits Mages flavor, it looks like a card Blizzard would print, and it is also a lot more inspired than some of the submissions I have seen. I would vote 5 stars.

@Wendeee, Another Card to Play doesn't work because Secrets can only trigger on your opponent's turn, and generally they should interact with your opponent in some way.

@DecentOfDragonsOP, I can see you already submitted your card, and I gave it 1 star. For one, it costs four mana. All secrets have to cost the same amount otherwise your opponent can just look at how much mana you spent to cast it and then know just what it is. Also, it is so full of grammatical errors it is a bit funny. It should say "Secret:_Whenever an enemy attacks a Friendly minion(Comma)  summon three 2/2 Gang Mates that attack that enemy instead (period).

@Thonson, The secret should specify that it triggers at the start of your turn. Also, I would make them 2/2s or 1/1s with Taunt or something. 3/3s just seem a bit big for only 3 mana. Other than that, it looks great.

 

 

Thanks for the feedback! Here’s a quick review of your card:

I think it’s a little on the ‘too strong’ side. Sure, Rat Trap is basically early Boulderfist, but Flamestrike is MUCH more powerful on turns 4-6. In fact, it may be the niche where it can change games, literally, but I can’t say for sure. The text is also a little cramped, I’d switch the “three” for a “3” and see if that does the trick. All in all, a neat card, would vote 4-5 stars with a change of wording.

About my card, I don’t think it’s unfun. It might be frustrating at times, sure, but very rarely you don’t have a way to play your turn differently, and even if it did turn out to be pretty annoying, I definitely wouldn’t go so far as to say it would be unhealthy for the game in any way. I guess fun is a subjective aspect though, so each to their own (even if docking 3 stars for that seems a bit... extreme)

Akali before the nerfs would have easily defeated the guardian.

Quote From Wailor

I have a lot of custom cards that fit this criteria, so I'll put three of them visible and the rest in spoiler. Interestingly, neither of them is a Mage card.

• Draconic Avengers is a pretty straightforward card, featuring Paladin handbuff Dragons, in-line with Dragonrider Talritha. Main issue, it has a high chance of being useless if randomly generated.
• Unseathe deals damage to any minion attacking your hero and leaves a 3/1 weapon equiped. I might change its name to Hidden Dagger, because I'm not sure everyone knows the verb "unseathe". I certainly didn't before looking it up. I've just realised it's a bit similar to Nirast's Quick Reflexes, but I guess it's not ALL that similar?
• Rabid Dog is another flavor-driven card, featuring a rabid dog that becomes aggressive against friends. The effect is in between of Snipe and Misdirection.
•  

Rest of the cards in spoiler:

• Hope is based on the trope of a knight in shining armor arriving at the precise moment, kinda like Gandalf in The Return of the King. The only reason it's not outside the spoiler is because Imprison minions make it kinda redundant.
• Skid Tactics is a very flavor-driven card: cephalopods have high regeneration capabilities and spray ink, so that's what the card does lol Could've been a Rogue card, but I decided to go Hunter because of the Beast flavor. Problem is, it's too similar to linkblade's Smokescreen.
• Phase Shift has a very similar effect to Squid Tactics, but it draws inspiration from the Faerie Dragon ability from Warcraft 3, instead of squids.

• Despair draws inspiration from Arthas' fall, where his own soldiers turn against him because of his unhonorable actions. It's meant to be combined with crap minions, mainly Silver Hand Recruit.
• Selfless Heroism tries to support the Divine Shield synergy pushed in Knights of the Frozen Throne, while being an obvious nod to Selfless Hero.
• Exorcism is based on several WoW and Warcraft abilities which de-spell summoned minions, but I'm not sure it translates well to Hearthstone.

 

 

I'm aware I've posted a ton of cards, so if you only want to review the ones outside the spoiler, I'm perfectly okay with that :)

 

Thanks for the feedback! A quick review of the cards outside the spoiler:

Draconic Avengers - nothing really outstanding, but a nice card with a clear support in mind. I’d vote 4-5 stars.

Unseathe - I think it’s spelled “unsheathe”, so you might want to fix that. A token of the dagger might also raise your ratings. I’d personally vote 5 stars after these changes.

Rabid Dog - this one is lacking in many aspects IMO. First, I feel it’s too strong and immediately impactful, compared to cards like Misdirection or Sudden Betrayal. Second, the wording is a bit off, it should be “your opponent” instead of “the enemy”. Third, the flavor is also a bit off. I get the rabid dog attacking at random, but it’s pretty weird when supposed “Rabid Dog” is oftentimes not even a beast, much less a dog. I’d vote 2-3 stars.

My initial ideas:

Tricks of the Trade - Both versions trick your opponent into playing poorly to counter a Secret, only to become a new one next turn. I wasn’t sure if the “different classes” version was too good or not. 

City Watch - Summon an Annoy-o-Tron after getting attacked to slow down aggro. If it survives, it’s also a great target for buffs or Magnetize

there's some discussion as to whether a stream muted via the web player counts as watching it.  I don't know the answer but many browsers including Firefox and Chrome allow a specific tab to be muted.

I'd recommend that method unless you are really watching it and can put up with the commentary.

I don't think the problem is with mods of these pages rather than the community itself. Hearthstone community is good but it's REAALLY OVERPROTECTIVE over hearthstone and I've tried to test that couple of times.

I swear, every time i see a "oh you don't like it? then stop playing" comment i will slap that dislike faster than the speed of light.

As far as I know all the good mods (bar one or two who stayed there) moved on over here. I'm not sure what's left of the moderation team over there but the fact that they made their most notorious troll a mod was reason enough for me to never post there again.

So yeah, as long as you stay in line you shouldn't have too much trouble here.

This card is really really good, it's something freljord really needed it's compared favorably with the best 4 mana battle trick in Riposte!

So this card is easily one of the best cards of the expansion so far..

god, the commentary is painful. It's like they're struggling to find things to say so they just overexplain what cards do just to fill time.
