Thanks to GetMeowth (https://twitter.com/GetMeowth) for this glorious deck. Jade Golems. Shudderwock, and some cool new Ashes Of Outland cards. This deck seems to do very well against Secrets Mage and other aggressive decks. Quest Mage can be a problem though!
I wonder -- Would it be feasible to let me save the JSON URL to my OOC account and automate this somewhat? What I envision is, I click the "import JSON" button--and if there's a URL saved to my account, my browser fetches the data and fills in that text box for me. I'd guess that could happen without involving your servers? (But I'm not a web guy so I'm just guessing...)
Without those "board reset", aggro and midrage would be mindless archetypes to play. The Ruination is quite expensive compared with it's Magic counterpart (Wrath of God) which was 2 white + 2 colorless mana. Nowdays are better wipeout board cards like Cleansing Nova which is 2 white + 3 colorless mana but the effect is slighlty better (you can choose kill all creatures OR artifacts + Enchantments).
I can't see why is busted, since if you pressure enough, you are already winning, you don't need to vomit your hand recklessly, keep your back up just in case a reset. Remeber that you can't play units after The Ruination, except 1 mana units or Remembrance/ Succession, which is unlikely in the current meta.
I think these are some pretty good ideas, especially the ability to see what cards are left in your deck.
There are 3rd party programs that let you see that, with % of draws and everything, but to be honest it would be nice something like that, even a simple version within the game. Also, said programs depends on the stability of Riot servers, and like League of Legends, servers are quite unstable with the quarantine.
First of all this is my first time posting on the forums, now with that out of the way lets get started. Remember when shadows did a priest coreset redesign well, I tried to do the same with neutral basic and classic, completely forgot about it for months then last night finished it decided to quickly do it for each of the classes and I am now done. I chose not to bring in any cards from later expansions, but I did end up redesign a card or 2 but nothing to significant.
Also I don’t plan to add demon hunter to this right now, maybe later

Any suggestions on what to do with millhouse and lorewalker?
And any other thoughts while your at it?

So far, I think this meta is well rounded, there are tons of fun and strong decks, and all of them have weakness to work out.
Hecarim stopped the onslaugth and elusives are in check thanks to Demacia raw power and Challenger units. Still, there are some few cards that will need some balance but I am not here for that today. Instead, I wanna suggest some features that should be a must:
Replay system: We all want to watch that game where we messed up with one choice. This is a great feature that we all would enjoy.
In-game deck tracker: I don't mind the odds and that stuff, only a basic tracker that shows the remaining cards left in your deck, as well as "graveyard" or "discarded lot" to keep track of the enemy cards.
Rope penalty: There are some players, specially in master that like to mess up when they can't keep up with the game, is not that I hate ropes, but they are annoying. My suggest will be a stacking penalty: For each 2 seconds you miss, you will have 1 less second in your entire next round and will stack (with a warning icon over the side of the player that is roping) to the next one until you play fast couple of rounds.
Definitely not going away any time soon! Estimates from various orgs so far give us as long as 18 months to 2 years of being cautious, though its tough to say when house lockdowns will end. I'm of the opinion things will start to open up again towards the end of the year but it'll still be a "only go out if you really must, absolutely no large social gatherings allowed" sort of deal. I'm sure my opinion on that will change in a few weeks as we get more information.
We really need a vaccine to start the road to recovery. Getting that rolling will let us be more confident about opening stuff up. Everyone just needs to do their part and stay away from others as much as possible. Less transmission, better outcomes for those who are sick since they get the care they need.
The whole pandemic has been very interesting to watch, as horrible as that may sound (definitely a better way of putting it). Seeing which governments are even just semi-competent and seeing how different people react is all going to help society going forward.
I came up with this new design. However, I now realise that maybe this isn't in-keeping with the rules, as it does not have high stats to begin with.
...but I'd be interested to here a mod ruling on this.
There's definitely some gray area in this prompt, and a number of people are toeing the line between a distinctive drawback and a 50/50 trade-off (which is not really what we want). I would say that you should stick with Untamed Devilsaur, both for the sake of the rules and because it's more flavorful. Will you be disqualified if you picked Rebellious Recruit? I doubt it...but why risk it, you know?
I think skull will be nerfed again, the card is still too much.. they should've kept it at 5 but reduce the mana cheating to 1. or nerf it to 7... it's essentially wand.
anthen is probably a dead card now it's way too slow, they straight up killed the card this way.
eye beam is fair it's Penance with 1 mana discount when outcast but 1 mana more expensive when not, called this nerf and seems logical.
Warblades I think are more in line now.. not havving 3 turns of attack triggers is important.. since there aren't many ways to upgrade durability in the class (only captain greenskin..)
Still a class that runs a deck of 90% class cards is not really a good design.. neutral cards should complement the deck and not be a mistake to play..
Also I will mention it every time, Twin Slice should cost 1, the card is too much tempo AND flexibility AND attack triggers for free... it's too good.
This is the deck I've been using. Been bouncing between Diamond 1 and 2 with it. I feel like it's better than the dragon variations I've seen. I had a buddy test it a bit and he'll be doing it a bit more now that he's in legend.
Following the feedback above, I have created some updated versions of my two ideas.
With Untamed Devilsaur, this now means you are incentivised to play small minions around it to avoid it attacking your own face, which honestly feeds into the fantasy even more in a way I really enjoy. With this added drawback, I think the cost is fine. When compared to Fel Reaver, its downside is much more debilitating in the short term, and it requires constant input on the player's side to counteract. I think this makes up for the 1 mana decrease.
Following Linkblade's excellent point that playing Rebellious Recruit on an empty board removes its downside, I came up with this new design. However, I now realise that maybe this isn't in-keeping with the rules, as it does not have high stats to begin with. I am probably going to go with the Devilsaur (I can't argue with your reasoning, Nirast), but I'd be interested to hear a mod ruling on this.
I just wish I could hear his music in LoR more! It'd be cool if the themed boards you can buy also had theme music (like Braums for example) to go with them in the background. I'd totally buy one (hint hint Riot).
I had so much fun making this set and doing this interview! Thanks to Demon for making this happen and thanks to anyone who was able to check out my expansion in its entirety!
Even if you disenchant a copy of (X) card, the game will still mark it as "found" and therefore you won't benefit of the protection rule anymore. Otherwise everyone would just abuse the new system for big amounts of dust everytime a card gets nerfed

Fantastic, the JSON importer is a huge help!
I wonder -- Would it be feasible to let me save the JSON URL to my OOC account and automate this somewhat? What I envision is, I click the "import JSON" button--and if there's a URL saved to my account, my browser fetches the data and fills in that text box for me. I'd guess that could happen without involving your servers? (But I'm not a web guy so I'm just guessing...)
Best pack opening ever.
I managed to nearly hit the pity timer limit three in a row. 88 packs, 3 legendaries, non-golden, and also no golden epics. Just wow
Ashes of Outland: Arena Impact
Clearly there were some OP Demon Hunter cards, glad those get some nerf.
I'd say the Burrowing Scorpid is one of my favorite neutrals. I see Ruststeed Raider quite a bit and it's definitely a good card.
Ruination is broken and can't be fixed.
Without those "board reset", aggro and midrage would be mindless archetypes to play.
The Ruination is quite expensive compared with it's Magic counterpart (Wrath of God) which was 2 white + 2 colorless mana. Nowdays are better wipeout board cards like Cleansing Nova which is 2 white + 3 colorless mana but the effect is slighlty better (you can choose kill all creatures OR artifacts + Enchantments).
I can't see why is busted, since if you pressure enough, you are already winning, you don't need to vomit your hand recklessly, keep your back up just in case a reset. Remeber that you can't play units after The Ruination, except 1 mana units or Remembrance/ Succession, which is unlikely in the current meta.
Suggestions for future updates.
There are 3rd party programs that let you see that, with % of draws and everything, but to be honest it would be nice something like that, even a simple version within the game. Also, said programs depends on the stability of Riot servers, and like League of Legends, servers are quite unstable with the quarantine.
[Game] Card Treasure Hunt (The Resurrection Attempt)
Shadow Council?
My attempt at reworking the classic/basic set excluding demon hunter
First of all this is my first time posting on the forums, now with that out of the way lets get started.
Remember when shadows did a priest coreset redesign well, I tried to do the same with neutral basic and classic, completely forgot about it for months then last night finished it decided to quickly do it for each of the classes and I am now done.
I chose not to bring in any cards from later expansions, but I did end up redesign a card or 2 but nothing to significant.
Also I don’t plan to add demon hunter to this right now, maybe later

Any suggestions on what to do with millhouse and lorewalker?
And any other thoughts while your at it?

Suggestions for future updates.
I think these are some pretty good ideas, especially the ability to see what cards are left in your deck.
The Price Of Power - Card Design Competition Discussion Thread
That's fair enough. Yeah, I think I will go with Untamed Devilsaur anyway.
Suggestions for future updates.
So far, I think this meta is well rounded, there are tons of fun and strong decks, and all of them have weakness to work out.
Hecarim stopped the onslaugth and elusives are in check thanks to Demacia raw power and Challenger units. Still, there are some few cards that will need some balance but I am not here for that today. Instead, I wanna suggest some features that should be a must:
Replay system:
We all want to watch that game where we messed up with one choice. This is a great feature that we all would enjoy.
In-game deck tracker:
I don't mind the odds and that stuff, only a basic tracker that shows the remaining cards left in your deck, as well as "graveyard" or "discarded lot" to keep track of the enemy cards.
Rope penalty: There are some players, specially in master that like to mess up when they can't keep up with the game, is not that I hate ropes, but they are annoying.
My suggest will be a stacking penalty: For each 2 seconds you miss, you will have 1 less second in your entire next round and will stack (with a warning icon over the side of the player that is roping) to the next one until you play fast couple of rounds.
What do you think about these?
BlizzCon 2020 Might be Cancelled Due to Coronavirus
Definitely not going away any time soon! Estimates from various orgs so far give us as long as 18 months to 2 years of being cautious, though its tough to say when house lockdowns will end. I'm of the opinion things will start to open up again towards the end of the year but it'll still be a "only go out if you really must, absolutely no large social gatherings allowed" sort of deal. I'm sure my opinion on that will change in a few weeks as we get more information.
We really need a vaccine to start the road to recovery. Getting that rolling will let us be more confident about opening stuff up. Everyone just needs to do their part and stay away from others as much as possible. Less transmission, better outcomes for those who are sick since they get the care they need.
The whole pandemic has been very interesting to watch, as horrible as that may sound (definitely a better way of putting it). Seeing which governments are even just semi-competent and seeing how different people react is all going to help society going forward.
[Game] Card Treasure Hunt (The Resurrection Attempt)
The "power without control" part was top notch and I instantly thought about Yogg, but since it was a gift and a riddle, Puzzle Box! Casino Mage FTW.
Now, I think this is an easy one:
Wait, just wait!
What could go wrong?
With a hand so full...
Everything's strong!
The Price Of Power - Card Design Competition Discussion Thread
There's definitely some gray area in this prompt, and a number of people are toeing the line between a distinctive drawback and a 50/50 trade-off (which is not really what we want). I would say that you should stick with Untamed Devilsaur, both for the sake of the rules and because it's more flavorful. Will you be disqualified if you picked Rebellious Recruit? I doubt it...but why risk it, you know?
The Day 2 Demon Hunter Card Nerfs - Details on the Changes and Demon Hunter Arena Adjustments
I think skull will be nerfed again, the card is still too much.. they should've kept it at 5 but reduce the mana cheating to 1. or nerf it to 7... it's essentially wand.
anthen is probably a dead card now it's way too slow, they straight up killed the card this way.
eye beam is fair it's Penance with 1 mana discount when outcast but 1 mana more expensive when not, called this nerf and seems logical.
Warblades I think are more in line now.. not havving 3 turns of attack triggers is important.. since there aren't many ways to upgrade durability in the class (only captain greenskin..)
Still a class that runs a deck of 90% class cards is not really a good design.. neutral cards should complement the deck and not be a mistake to play..
Also I will mention it every time, Twin Slice should cost 1, the card is too much tempo AND flexibility AND attack triggers for free... it's too good.
Thoughts on Spiteful Hunter?
This is the deck I've been using. Been bouncing between Diamond 1 and 2 with it. I feel like it's better than the dragon variations I've seen. I had a buddy test it a bit and he'll be doing it a bit more now that he's in legend.

No problem, my dude.
Group Therapy! Need to blow off some steam? Mega salty? Here's the place!
So they nerfed Demon Hunter. But I still die to their small-ragnaros. At least it's . . . not legendary. I'm sorry, what?
The Price Of Power - Card Design Competition Discussion Thread
Following the feedback above, I have created some updated versions of my two ideas.
With Untamed Devilsaur, this now means you are incentivised to play small minions around it to avoid it attacking your own face, which honestly feeds into the fantasy even more in a way I really enjoy. With this added drawback, I think the cost is fine. When compared to Fel Reaver, its downside is much more debilitating in the short term, and it requires constant input on the player's side to counteract. I think this makes up for the 1 mana decrease.
Following Linkblade's excellent point that playing Rebellious Recruit on an empty board removes its downside, I came up with this new design. However, I now realise that maybe this isn't in-keeping with the rules, as it does not have high stats to begin with. I am probably going to go with the Devilsaur (I can't argue with your reasoning, Nirast), but I'd be interested to hear a mod ruling on this.

SOLVED Card pack duplicate protection not working?
You have misunderstood how the rule works.
Even if you disenchant a copy of (X) card, the game will still mark it as "found" and therefore you won't benefit of the protection rule anymore.
Otherwise everyone would just abuse the new system for big amounts of dust everytime a card gets nerfed
