I found a bug when looking for my Extra Arms. typing "extra arms" does not yield any results.
it probably has something to do with the fact that searching "extra" shows you any cards you have 3+ copies of, so searching for "extra arms" shows you any cards you have 3+ copies of with 'arms' in the name? or maybe I am just doing something wrong.
just the shaman quest, aside from that I already have all the cards.
my other legendary will be dinotamer brann.
I see, Brann is a good legendary. Anyway before you jump on the ladder with my deck, I would advise you to check some of people's posts in the Quest Jade shaman thread first. I've mentioned there, that my current list doesn't do well against burn mages; it runs some tech cards, but it can't achieve victories consistently. The reason why I am advising you to go there is because you might get an inspiration to try out different builds/packages.
Hey, really nice work on the class. The aesthetic of the class is great, and the effort is admirable.
I however do agree with Malcolm that Tactic is a bit of a confusing keyword. Some additional criticism:
The Hero Power should have "Hero Power" in bold at the top.
Class keywords are not allowed to be on Basic cards, so you'd need to move Pandaren General out of Basic.
You should post the upgraded Hero Power somewhere on the front page.
Keywords by themselves don't use periods (Goldshire Footman). Only when it's part of a sentence (Prince Valanar), or [Hearthstone Card (occasionally) Not Found] when a line uses multiple keywords (Obsidian Statue), or sometimes commas are used instead (Walking Fountain). The ruling on this however is admittedly very inconsistent. Sometimes, keywords are found on their own line as well (Argent Commander) if they have no effects. There are very strange rulings about this.
Dragon Portal should say "4-Cost" instead of "4-Mana".
The name Into the Fray has now been taken as of Saviors of Uldum.
Lich Mystic raises some questions. Since minions most often have 0 Health when they die, it'll only gain Attack. In fact, if a minion took *more* damage so it would have -1 Health or less, would it actually lose Health instead?
Cursed Fire is a dangerous design. In fact, permanent Attack reduction in general is a dangerous design. You don't want to be able to lock your opponent's board out.
Most of the cards seem balanced (although I think Torga is really weak). Some of my favorite cards here include Pandaren Jouster and Planning Ahead. I love what you did with MSoG stealing the other gang's powers.
It is too easy to pull off and the reward is pretty ridiculous, especially in wild. Ive ended up in an endless Shudderwock loop where I just concede several times. A slight increase to its requirement wouldn't be bad.
I, for one, am actually relieved there is a new deck to beat. Getting burned down by a Secret Mage is lot less annoying than slowly getting killed by a Big Priest. Also winning from a Secret Mage is a lot more compelling to me. One, because the deck is "new", and two, because the strategies involved are more intriguing than just flying underneath the radar or killing the same minions a million times.
i held onto my two golden conjurer's callings since week one of ROS because i knew that shit would get nerfed. Got a free legendary out of it. Feelsgoodman.
I've been told Big Priest was the best and only deck that can be played in wild. What's this about Mage? Priest is the only wild class.
SoU changed everything. Barnes nerf came too late. I barely run into Big Priest anymore. I don't know about lower ranks, 15-10 might still be BP (though we'll see what happens with the Barnes nerf), but 5+ they are a rare breed.
I'm getting sick of smorc, aggro and hunters decks. I go to wild, see (then crush) another boring-ass Odd Paladin.
The Hearthstone Gods decide to bless me with watching someone else for a pack of cards for the daily quest, so yeah, let's take a break and maybe there's something different ...
Friend of mine is using bomb hunter vs. a homebrew control paladin (Lay on Hands seen). I start rooting for the other guy, who rallies back with a buffed Crystalsmith Kangor and has bombtard hunter quit.
Another friend is in hunter vs. hunter and I'm rooting for server crash. Friend somehow loses to secret hunter before he can get his Zul'jin buffed twinspell beast factory up and running. Yawn.
Am I the only one logging in spectator mode and then rooting against the friend? Seriously, do you ever log into a friend's game and then go, "Your deck sucks, I'm rooting for the other guy now."
I think the tactic keyword might be more simple and easy to understand if it didn't also work as a battlecry and a continual effect, but instead was just a continual effect. right now it just kinda feels like a lot in one keyword.
WoW .... the work you've done is very impressive! Very creative and well thought ! I always like to create cards and come up with ideas about them but this seems pretty awesome!
Very well done!
the only thing so far is that i agree with MalcomReynolds - i think the Tactic Keyword should either be like a Battlecry or an continual effect !
Would it make more since to describe Tactics as an Aura that gives permanent buffs instead of temporary ones? I'd like to keep Tactics as is since if it was either-or then it wouldn't be unique.
Anyway, the last card update (for now)! With the Year of the Dragon bringing a three-expansion arc, I thought it'd be cool to use this excuse to create new arc-types for Tactician. Spells have never been a huge focus of the class, but with Nefarian in charge it made sense to me to introduce more spell synergy to the class. The Reawakening quest in particular can get players a lot of spells (including more damaging ones than Tacticians are known for). Secrets were another mechanic I wanted to introduce, but unlike when Rogue added Secrets I'm actually adding more in each expansion (but I'm not planning on keeping them around after the Year of the Dragon). And of course you can't use Blackrock characters without Dragons!
More in the main post!
Now that I'm done with every expansion, I might go back and do some solo content (like the Tactician Rumble Run shrines or Nefarian's wing of the Dalaran Heist). Also as a bonus, here's Nefarian's lackey.
Shaman Quest a Problem ?
Quest shaman has literally never been above a 50% winrate so far. Not even at legend.
Yes, it is most definitely ridiculously overpowered and warrants an immediate nerf.

The Supreme Pillage of Uldum
So far this deck gave me the best matchup in wild, so far, in the SoU era.
But how many times do you run into a Renounce Warlock? Great clown fiestas are few and far between.

I dusted my original Golden Luna about a month after Boomsday. Hindsight being 20/20 I wish I held onto it for double dust.

No quest shaman is not a problem.

Well he can't use Reno if you have 2 or more bombs in there.

I've been told Big Priest was the best and only deck that can be played in wild. What's this about Mage? Priest is the only wild class.
