So, I'm working on this expansion; a whole year of expansions actually. And I just happened to create a card that, in my humble opinion, captures the thematic essence of a certain WoW character. I wanted to share this as a standalone card rather than with a whole batch of cards. Would love to hear your thoughts too. I'll also be giving brief information about the card and how it works since it's a little complex than most Hearthstone cards, perhaps comparable to Zephrys the Great in that it requires a specific algorythm.
Wow! Some of those effects are damn flashy and perhaps even too harsh. But the text of Arbiter is too cryptic. How am I supposed to understand what's going on? How can I determine what Realm The Arbiter chooses? Here's the catch:
The Arbiter simply takes note of certain actions the enemy player does while playing the game. Each realm has 4 actions that count towards it. Sometimes those may overlap, and in rare cases that some realms completely even themselves out, The Arbiter simply praises Yogg and yoinks the enemy into a random realm.
The concept itself is pretty straightforward and perhaps a copy-paste of what The Arbiter does and what each realm of Shadowlands stands for in WoW lore. But I found it hard to explain it in words (cards!) without turning it into a Yu-Gi-Oh tier mess.
Now I want to open up more about the design of each realm for those that may be unfamiliar with WoW lore (trust me, while it's getting butchered recently, it's intriguing enough to make me, a person who only played for a year to still follow it) while also giving insight about the way I designed some aspects of this card.
Recently, they added afterlife to WoW, called Shadowlands. There are 5 main realms in it, as you can see above.
-Ardenweald is basically Druid stuff but blue; as such the effect is about Mana.
-Bastion is a realm where people like Uther, loyal and honorable men of duty, went to after death, so there's a touch of Paladin and other "good guy" stuff.
-Maldraxxus is the "I CRUSH YOU ME STRONG WARRIOR" realm with a twist; they're all skeletons and it has a green, nasty color scheme. The requirements for The Arbiter to put your opponent in Maldraxxus are basically all Warrior stuff, and that's by design.
-Revendreth is the one I had fun the most while designing around it; it's a realm that prideful and jaded souls go to after they die; I tried to make a connection with Control style decks and Control players' attitude (I'm a control player myself btw), hence the effect and its prequisites.
-The Maw is Hell. It's for the worst of the worst. In my initial design, the effect was a lot more harsher (It also destroyed Mana Crystals) and I had a prequisite related to Demons that made it look like I had a hate boner for DH (shockingly, I don't). The thing is, I wanted The Maw to punish aggro players because it's just a thematic fit that the most aggresive and reckless players would get the worst punishment of all. But as you already realized, by turn 10 it isn't important whether you've destroyed their deck or not, if you've came that far vs aggro you already won. So it's kind of bugging me that something that makes sense on paper won't ever fulfill it's meaning if it's implemented in the actual game. Perhaps this needs more work? idk.
All in all, I had fun brainstorming and coming up with designs that I think are interesting while making this card. I would love to hear your thoughts about it. Hopefully I'll be able to share more custom cards in the future. And if you've read that far, cheers to you man!

These new event cards make the game take so much longer than it needs to - not in terms of time limit, but the turns take forever because we have to watch popstar ahri because a spell that blows up the field for barely any cost at all is played, then they play more of those cards and make more of those cards, so that eventually we're basically just watching a shitty superbowl half time show as some n64 graphics ahri dances on the screen.
I thought it'd be cool to pick up a card game where I wasnt already so far behind in terms of deck essentials. I was enjoying it at first but soon realized... there really isn't much thought to this game. Buy best cards/deck then wait until you get your prize card, or an event card that you play for free with no cost other than its mana lol. Unenjoyable. Uninstalling. Not sure if anyone that has any investment in the game will read or care. Not a pity party or salty flaming, just stating my observation.

hi guys,
as my understanding goes, if one reaches level 50 in the rewards track, i get to choose one of the 10 hero portraits. will the others be available still next expansion or will they swap them each cycle?
do we have information about this?
thanks!

I was playing against a mage and sure RNG was a thing but I didn't expect that much of RNG. He got offered 2 or 3 time an Evocation but one was from Wand Thief. I know the card used to cost one mana but now the cost is 2 mana. Is someone aware of this bug or am I missing something that can explain why he got it ?

Honestly, at this point, would that even destroy the class? I get that the cheaper hero power is kind of its gimmick but considering their cards are usually just better version than what other classes can do, would it even be that far off of a change to consider?
We have warlock getting weaker cards because their hero power is so good - so why not apply the reverse to Demon Hunter?
Seeing how every expansion cycle that class finds a way to be oppressive in its aggression, I just want to stop having to wish for nerfs on it.

Welcome to Liftoff! This is a full 147 card space-themed set that I worked on with several other people. It took 4 months to finish it, but we recently just did and I couldn't be more excited. This project was not started by me, but because I was the one on the team who's most familiar with the site, I'm in charge of the thread here for it. The reason for the larger number of cards than usual is also because we decided to use pre-DH rarity adjudications for Neutral cards.
Liftoff! introduces not one, but two new keywords! Those keywords are Launch and Observe.
Launch cards have a one-time effect that triggers when you initiate an attack with the card, but before the attack fully connects.
Observe cards take a look at 3 cards within a specified set of parameters, just like Discover. However, Observe is a bit different because all 3 cards you look at are all in your deck and the card you choose gets put on top of your deck.

Note: Soliana appears in your collection and will always start in her Sunlight form. She will transform into Moonlight form if you cast a spell while you hold her. When in Moonlight form, she will transform back into Sunlight form if you play a minion while you hold her.
Note: Shadowarper Xenia's effect will not trigger off of herself. Summoning a minion while you control her will only summon one shadow copy.

Vicious Syndicate put Highlander Priest in tier 4. However, I played their featured list with only one card changed 21 times and won 18 of those, I faced a lot of aggro demon hunters and somehow won against all but one of them. They didn't seem to make any misplays. This deck also won against other decks labeled as tier 1 in vicious syndicate like pure paladin, evolve shaman, and highlander hunter. This was in platinum, I haven't played standard for a long time, but since I was wild legend consistently probably my mmr would be high for standard as well. So, overall, even if the deck isn't tier 1 I think that if people play a good version of Highlander priest and play it well it is definitely higher than tier 4 and may even be as high as tier 2.
If you have played Highlander Priest in standard recently, or can try to play it to have a higher sample size so we can see if it's really underrated or not, or just have some thoughts please let me know because I usually play wild only but based on the vicious syndicate standard report I thought this might be interesting to people who want to play some other decks than demon hunter, shaman, paladin, and hunter. Vicious syndicate puts Highlander Priest in tier 4 and calls the class a trash tier class with no good decks but please give it a chance, because I'm not even that familiar with the standard meta so someone who knew the opponent's decks better could have had an even higher record with this deck. And most of all, out of all the standard decks I have tried to play so far this is by far the most fun and engaging deck to play, you plan ahead your turns and make decisions in a fun way, in my opinion at least.
