Mark of Dalaran makes it so your spells have permanent Echo, since the effect also applies to the Twinspell copy...

Imp Master? Though I have no idea why they are great

Phoenix? Nah! It's a chicken!

That aside, maybe we'll see Blood Elves stuff? I'm hoping the power level is similar to Dragon sets. I don't want another Raven sets. The Raven sets are too low power level to the point of the meta getting stale real fast.

Yo if we are getting a Quel'Thalas themed year it makes sense, what with the MAGE BUNDLE and Khadgar returning as a purchasable hero.

And you know who would be a great hero as a pre-order bonus for this Year of the Mage?

Kael'thas Sunstrider. and that means we can finally have special dialogue when we cast Pyroblast to face.

Read the Q&A session by Poly. 1st line.

He said about new archetypes.

EDIT. New Archetypes usually comes in with new Mechanic unique to that year, so I think based on this, it's true.

Lots of new reborn minions on their way 

After all these years, will we finally get Kael'Thas in Hearthstone? Man's been waiting a long time

Kael'thas turn...

By fire be purged!

On a second thought, this and the mage pack are related.... Tinfoil hat mode activated

Where did you hear that? I haven't come across anything like that, link?

The Bladed Gauntlet interaction is shown in this video from HysteriA, so unless it was changed in a patch, it works.

I think Noggenfogger does randomize among targets of the same type, so there is no risk of punching your own minions or face, but it doesn't seem to take detailed restrictions on cards into account.

Swan was the first thing I thought of as well.

I'm not sure if this got fixed or not but what is working for me for a couple days now is uninstalling the game from the phone and install it again from Amazon app store, after I read that in the official forums as a work around I have been able to log in on android.

Well, they did said something about new tribes. This is good.

EDIT. I see it as a swan icon rather than a phoenix. But then, swan never had a place in game about myth creatures.

I think I may be the only one who doesn't like amalgamate. I like the interesting yet simple design, and it is a pretty neat effect that can be used in a lot of ways. The only thing I don't like about it; it is a dungeon run treasure. When you cannot build your own deck, this ability just feels super irrelevant 90% of the time. There is no way I would ever pick this over something like "all minions get buff X". So while it is a very interesting card that has a lot of potential and a ton of different interactions with different tribal buffs, I just don't see this card EVER happening in a dungeon-run style format.

For the Rogue, is Grand Lackey Erkh viable?

If Houndmaster Shaw dies, he no longer grants Rush to any minions on the battlefield. It's an Aura effect, like Stormwind Champion or Tundra Rhino - they all use the same wording.

I wasn't completely sure on that, and couldn't find a source, so I just went and tested it myself against the practice AI.

I haven't had a chance to vote yet but I am really liking the look of Amalgamate (a straightforward effect that opens up a world of weirdness!) and Answer the Call (surprised this wasn't an official Tombs of Terror treasure).

I've seen a comment or two about The Last Lantern (my card) and totally agree with what's been said. It was very much designed as a flavour card to suit the catacombs and an interesting last resort that could potentially swing a run here or there, not a must-choose. In hindsight I could have made it slightly more playable if I had simply bumped up the cost to (4) or (5) and removed the empty hand mechanic. Honestly, I'm just happy it's even been mentioned and that you guys like the flavour :)

Finally, congrats to everyone in the finals and well done to everyone who submitted a design! This was a fun competition theme - already looking forward to what Shivershine comes up with for next week.

I want an additional feature, where the innkeeper can use decks you made. This makes it easier to practice match-ups while preparing for tournaments and such.

With the finalist phase approaching pretty soon what card do you think should win and why 

(please don't say your own)

Personally i gave four 5 stars and I'll explain why

Temple golem: really op card and 100% if this was a treasure card i will pick it all the time

I personally don't think Temple Golem is terribly OP. He is a 5 mana 5/5 reborn, which is fair. But the copying ability seems slow, and most of the time I would rather grab a passive treasure which is constantly helping me win rather than a single strong minion with a lot of stats.

but the thing is the summon another one for each boss you defeated where on your 5th boss if you play temple golem you summon five 5/5 with rush and reborn 

I guess it's just that we have different ways to play dungeon run

I am pretty sure they don't have rush, if they did it would be pretty powerful. But as the card is now it isn't much more spectacular than any other treasure minion with a lot of stats.

I’m gonna comment quickly on the finalists. I won’t say how I rated them, but there are a few I’m a bit critical of.

Mark of Dalaran - A very powerful passive that would likely be offered late in a run. It might break some spell treasures. Not much else to say. Very fun and powerful.

Amalgamate - My card. 

Temple Golem - This feels extremely strong late in a run. 5 mana make a sticky board. Great synergy with Rush, Taunt, and other minion buff passives. I feel like this should cost more.

Answer the Call - I like this one because it provides a number of cool effects and good minions but it’s not an instant game win. This could probably be slightly cheaper. Very fun and flavorful card.

Archthievery - No. Please no. It’s a fun idea for one time, but this ruins deckbuilding and will lose you runs. And it would take up slots from actual good treasures.

Nicky, the Retriever - I started off not liking this card, but honestly I think it’s fine. Fun effect but not super strong.

The Last Lantern - This is a last resort card, and summoning a 20/20 with no other effects will not save you games. Good flavor but this will be a dead card most games.

Rodney the Mischievous - For the same reason as Archthievery, this ruins deckbuilding. The RNG might get you better treasures when you need it, but it’s just as likely to screw you over. RNG can be fun (that’s what the dungeons are made of!) but this isn’t

Took the words right out of my motth.
