If Hearthstone had a "Conspiracy" set, Arena only cards!
For those who are unaware, Magic is about to release its second conspiracy set: Take the crown. Conspiracy is a set made entirely to be drafted and does not enter the standard environment. As a result, the designers are allowed to go absolutely ham on the crazy designs of draft cards.
an example:

Hearthstone's arena could really use a special expansion to liven things up. Perhaps it could be temporary, but this type of expansion is great fun.
I included an album of some simple (and possibly terrible) designs for ways to interact with the player during the draft.
Thanks for the angry comments in advance!

We've actually thought a ton about this. It's a really cool idea (the ones linked in the post are cool as well). When we have the conversation, sometimes I worry that the more synergistic we could hypothetically make your draft, the more decks would start to feel like constructed. That's one of the reasons I tend to like cards like the weapon linked in this post vs inching you closer to being able to build a murloc deck, a dragon deck, a token deck, etc. Thinking about cards that create exciting draft and gameplay decisions would be the ultimate goal, interesting to think about, thanks for the post.
