Boooo! Please don't do this lol. Res priest is awful and it's plaged Wild already I don't want to play against it in standard every game. It's not unbeatable it's just not fun to play against. Like freeze mage but worse. Just please don't make this a thing.
Envenom Weapon needs a weapon equipped and cost 3 mana. This gives you a weapon with poisonous for 1 mana. I think the most efficient use for this card will be card draw. This with Harrison Jones will draw 2 cards, give you a 5/4 body on board and a weapon that can take out a big minion or a taunt.
New tempo rogue including ooze. Turn 1 this card turn 2 ooze. Thats the only thing i see. Otherwise this card is really bad. Plus plagues should affect all minions on the board? Inconsistencies all already here
The next installment of my story driven theme decks is here, and this one is about a rival business to Gallywix's Bilgewater Banana Company: Lynchen and Noggenfogger's Perfect Brew.
As ever the theme comes at a cost to win rates, but it's really the story these decks exist for so do have a read of the guide if you're interested.
Nevertheless, it is good to explore the wealth of underused mechanics the game has to offer. In this case giving minions poisonous leads to some unique plays to catch your opponent off-guard.
Anyway, if you have the key cards and want to put them to good use (possibly for the first time!) you might get some enjoyment out of it.
Good job! Portal is an interesting mechanic, but maybe a bit complex for HS standards. Like you could play different Portal cards and have the effects "banked up" in certain situations, then it could become very confusing, for both your and your opponent, what do you have in store actually :) I get that by specifying "minion/spell/card" you open up more ways to design your cards or balance them, but at the same time you open up yourself to more confusion. If it was just "a card", then the next card would always consume the Portal ability and would not be possible to have it saved up for several turns until you finally play a spell for example, by which point neither you, nor your opponent might count on that no more lol. But i like your cards overall, so keep doing what ur doing ;-)
There will be a special UI for cards that are under a Portal effect, probably a blue glow around them. Would glow in your hand and that glow could be seen by your opponent. Could also add a special UI on the bottom center of your hero portrait where each player can move their cursor towards or hold on their phone - something like a blue circle that would tell you which Portal effects are currently active.
Or maybe I should give up with showing the blue glow for your opponent unless we want them to know which cards are minions or spells, as some Portal effects specify a card type.
New Mechanic - Plague cards have powerful board clear effects and each of the 'villain' classes will receive one in this set.

How is this a board clear? Did they forget what they said about their own mechanic or when they said they changed it late they meant less than a week ago
Yeah, turn times are the same for you and your opponent. Animations times are not, or rather animation times can go well over the turn limit, but all plays would had to be done within the turn limit. So your opponent is not cheating, just the game does not have another way to resolve the actions then to play out every animation and it takes time ;-)
In the past this could have been abused, the animation would actually eat up time from your turn instead, but shouldnt be an issue anymore, as Thonson said.

Just wanted to point out one thing: the wording makes it look like, if there will be more than two players in a game (for whatever reason), all of those players will get the weapon.
The card itself is pretty underwhelming: rogue already has a bunch of single target removal and is able to generate even more removal with the thief mechanic. This card does have the advantage that it removes two things for one card for just 1 mana, but it does so using our health, which is a valuable resource as a rogue.
Plague of Madness (2): I am not sure how will this card perform, but at first glance this looks like super strong tempo card. Yes, you are giving your opponent a way to kill off two of your minions, but can he really afford the face hits? If you are playing fast tempo rogue as you should, i think this should give you more advantage than it gives to your opponent, more so cause you are the one dictating when the weapons come into play.
Well it's the cheapest weapon removal in the game, as well as card draw with Harrison Jones, this is the first rogue card we saw this expansion so maybe there are good death rattle minions or other stuff that are just not worth killing.
I don't think this card is very good but it has it's uses.

Was gonna ask for this too, or maybe a way to choose how to sort (like even just new to old and old to new, in case people prefer the current setup)

Seems more of a project card from Boomsday than a plague. A bit disappointing, speaking of flavor.
At last is a good early game removal, probably the cheapest ever made.

This is a fake quote though. All the Hearthstone team said was that Plague are powerful cards that negatively affect both players.
