Quote From OldManSanns

In the closed beta, Cloud Drinker had an enlightened ability to decrease by 2 instead of 1, and it was insane when combo'd with Karma. Granted you still had to make it to 10 mana, but once you did it was basically GG.

Maybe the trick here is to do something similar: i.e., find a unassuming follower and give it something like Enlightened: whenever you summon a follower, add a copy to your hand.  Or cast again this turn / "echo" if that's too much.  Basically: HS's Glinda Crowskin, but it doesn't work with champions. A late game 6/6 LS for 3 mana is unimpressive; but three 6/6 LS for 9 mana is another story--you heal to full if they all connect.  Same story with Feral Mystic and five 6/6 overwhelms for 10 mana.

This assumes Enlightened isn't fine as it is, and needs some level of fixing. In MTG, cards with a kicker are typically weaker than their non-kickered counterparts, but they are more flexible because they get more value later. Being a bit on the weaker end is an important part of that trade-off. If you didn't have that, you'd just auto-pick kicker cards over non-kicker cards all the time.

Honestly, I think Enlightened is the keyword that's hardest to balance because its condition is inevitable and uninteractable. (Returning to my MTG comparison, at least in that case you can go land dry, or your opponent can destroy your lands.) If the game goes long enough, you'll reach 10 mana gems, so non-Champion cards that benefit from the Enlightened keyword need to have more subdued effects rather than game-ending ones, or you'll see them in all control decks. So, these cards are probably fine as they are for now.

I think you misunderstand me.  I'm not advocating we directly change anything about Emerald Awakener or Feral Mystic, I'm advocating that we create another card that gives it some combo potential.  It becomes more like an exodia package: if you happen to draw all the right cards and land them on the board while still defending your nexus, you basically win the game when you hit enlightened.  Meanwhile your opponent knows this is coming so they ratchet up the pressure, and you both have to make decisions about how much to sacrifice.  E.g., do you play an Awakener early just to use as a chump block?  Do put this yet-to-be-named card on the field and risk letting it get targeted?  I do admit, though: you wouldn't want to just put this card in Frejlord or SI because as you point out those regions have no problem fielding a deck that lasts until Round 10.  I was thinking more like Demacia to pull the existing control archetypes out of their comfortable region combinations.

Sort of like Parade Electrorig and the Elnuks package: they're OK cards by themselves that you probably would cut from most deck lists, but they multiple each others' power so you get a really nice synergy if you play them together.  It's not an meta-breaking combo, but its interesting and different and at least good enough to be novel.

I started getting them to 8, and now I'm focused on getting them each to 16 (the second Champion Capsule). Between daily PvP bonuses and daily quests you can usually knock out a level per day until you get to around 13.

This weekend starts a new Gauntlet event for TESL.

We’re shaking the Field Lane up once again in The Elder Scrolls: Legends’ latest event! Get ready for the Mage Tower Gauntlet!

Mage Tower Gauntlet: February 21 – February 24

For this event, the standard Field Lane has been transformed into the Mage Tower Lane! Whenever you play an action, a random creature of the same cost will be summoned into the Mage Tower Lane. What sort of allies will you summon? Only one way to find out!

Each time players complete a run of this weekend’s event, they will also receive a premium alternate copy of Imperial Reinforcements!

Each run through the Mage Tower Gauntlet costs three Event Tickets or 500 Gold for each run, up to three maximum runs allowed. Players will also rank up on the leaderboards with each run - if you wind up a top-ranking player, you could receive bonus rewards!

The Mage Tower Gauntlet begins Friday, February 21 at 12pm ET and closes at 12pm ET on Monday, February 24. Events in The Elder Scrolls: Legends change regularly, so check in often to see what new challenges await!

The only problem I see with this card it that after holding it for 2 turns it already powercreeps Cabalist's Tome. Also it uses art of an already existing card, so you may want to change it.

Get ready for the latest set to shake up competitive play in ECQ: Echoes of Eternity!

His flavor should be "Of course it's perfect, you're just playing the wrong deck"

They are just gonna try to bump more cash from people. That's the changes you're gonna get, guys LUL Companies are made to make PROFIT, so they will try to make even more profit from pack sellings. More expansions, more bundles, more legendaries per set. That's how it works, guys ;-)

More $$$ for Bli$$ard.

Forbidden Words is hilarious. Kill a random minion with 10 or less attack, skip your turn.

Already submitted this, but I would still be interested in some feedback for future competitions.

I believe my current count is a bit over 16,000. I have yet to craft a single card with shards; I only use them to pay for Expedition fees, and I'm gaining them at a much faster rate than I'm spending.

Well, he is good. Mage isn't good.

Eye of the Storm is ridiculous off of random cast spell effects. I had a game this week where my opponent avoided lethal by getting Eye of the Storm as his LAST spell from Puzzle Box. The other 9 spells were all terrible, but the last one snuck in and lost me the game. 

Just won a match against Embiggen Druid because of The Amazing Reno. Feels great!

It just says "add a random mage spell", I guess you meant "add a random mage spell to your hand". You should probably fix that before submitting the card. Other than that, it looks good!

I've actually had this happen to my opponent.  Felt nice.

i'm calling the clip where reno cast puzzle box then every worst spell in this list

oh ok, that explains a lot. I really see this working much better with pre-nerf Inspiring Mentor.

Also think that in any case the deck needs 3 Yasuos to actuallly work in any capacity....and Zed just doesn't really feel useful in any case other than to draw out removal.

I will say that when the deck does play out like it's supposed to it's basically unbeatable. Intimidating Roar can basically win games by itself and Bladetwirler can even oneshot.

Was playing against a Heimr deck and he filled his entire board...so I just Roar'd him and the  punched his face for 20 with Fae (and a few others) when he couldN't block.

Unfortunately in a meta where Fioras, Ezreals and Heimers are running around, people are really stocking up on removals, so most 3-health minions don't tend to last very long.

2nd edit: Thanks for the feedback. i already change the art ( from Learn Draconic ) for a new one that i recently found and i added "... to your hand". Right, that's a really important detail. 

I know it's a build he was working on and will likely be revamped today after slight changes due to the patch this week.

Maybe it's just me but that Yasuo deck plays like hot garbage. Most of the time you don't have anything to do for the first few times because you missed Inspiring Mentor and noww your Navori COnspirator is useless and at that point you're just kind of stuck until you actually get yasuo who will get instantly removed because your opponent isn't a complete moron who doesn't run removal.

Genuinely confused as to how that deck is supposed to win any matchup unless you draw the absolute nuts every time

Well when Reno casts Forbidden Words more often than not it feels like you just hand your enemy a free Time Warp which you know what will happen next, right.

It is not Reno's fault that you did not build your deck around spells that he is going to cast.

Yeah man i hope Blizz really take every lessons from past years and then implement it the 'right' way. We all know HS need to Evolve.
