    That's a good idea, please do that. Will there be a transparacy report every week? Couldn't find one this time.

    Those are my ideas:

    I wanted to create a corrupted version of Lorewalker Cho but couldn't come up with an alternative mechanic that involved copying spells. This one adds minions to the other players hand instead and can be used to irritate the opponent or for hand disruption. In WotoG, Warlock could combo this with Forbidden Ritual to clogg your opponents hand with useless tentacles, for example. The stats are a problem since I didn't want to go too far away from the original Cho but wasn't content with 0 attack either. The art is okayish I guess, I couldn't find a good corrupted Pandarian.

     

    My second idea was to create something fun out of Yogg's insanity and the Thief Priest archetype. Assuming our opponent's spell are not entirely garbage and given the fact that we at the very least learn what cards they are running, this is quite powerful. That's why I tuned down the stats.

     

    Please help me choose my card for this week and feel free to give feedback on both of them. I'm also curious where you guys get your art. I'm not really happy with what I used this week but couldn't find any better on artstation.com - do you have other recommendations?

    Wow, what a start! I'm a noob, but here are my thoughts:

    Linkblade91, "Call Weapon": This is the card to beat this week. It's balanced, it's useful, it's innovative, it has Thor flavor and how cool is your dad advicing you on D&D stuff? 5/5!

    Hordaki, "Kelina, the Thief": I like it. Could get out of hands on curve with Plaguebringer but who's playing that anyway. 4/5

    shaveyou, "Faceless Interloper" and "Reformed Patron": I prefer the patron. Nice flavor, cool idea. Maybe tune down the rarity to rare? I'm torn between 3 and 4/5.

    Dermostatic, "Gibblegill the Wanderer": The wording seems a bit off. I would use Lone Champion for reference. Other than that, it's fine. 3/5

    the powrofcheese, "Copycat": Nice and simple, invites to look for exploits. 4/5

    LarryMoments, "Pneumatic Squire": I'm torn. I totally like the idea but it feels somewhat clunky adding the last mionion killed to your hand. What about adding a random enemy minion to your hand? That would tune down the powerlevel in case there were no enemies left, but you could compensate by giving it magnetic? 2/5 for now.

    Demonxz95, "Alonsus Faol": I'm scared of this one. 7 mana let you heal at least one minion the turn this is played with your Hero Power. Then there are all the cheap spells priest could abuse this with, Circle of Healing being the biggest threat. I would feel a lot better if this was 9 mana and no classic card. 3/5

    BasilAnguis, "Time Bend": Great card! I love Thief Priest and thi fits like a glove. 5/5

    Xarkkal, "Sneaky Mimic": You're right, 4 attack would be better. I like the Combo, please keep it. I'm not sure if it's not too powerful, though. Maybe tune it town to a 1 mana, 1/1 copy? 3/5 for now.

     

    I'm brooding over two ideas for my entry, just give me some more time to look up the art. I guess I'll show you both if that's okay. Cards for Wild expansions are okay, aren't they?

    Congratulations! It was a cool theme, never mind the difficulty.

    Hmmm. Maybe MurlocAggroB was even closer than we thought and the first card is from the classic set and the second from Battlegrounds. If that's the case, I'm out since I don't play BG. All I know is that the classic dragons recently became BG heros, but I don't remember those having stats.

    Also please don't edit answers into posts when there's a lot of traffic on the thread, how are we to find out who was quicker?

    Captain Greenskin and Southsea Captain? Pirates with battlecries and both are captains.

    I would totally love a gift oriented competition for the coming round because Hearthstone's birthday starts this week. Valid could be all cards that add cards to your or your opponent's hand or to your or your opponent's deck.

    Great work, thank you!

    Is there a way to instantly show changed votes to worse? If I change a vote of mine to the better, the stars are displayed correctly. Whenever I correct a vote downwards though, the stars stay in position. I get a notification and the vote will show the new result if I refresh the page but it doesn't do so instantaneous like when I correct upwards. Happens on mobile and desktop.

    Quote From KANSAS

    I think I may be the only one who doesn't like amalgamate. I like the interesting yet simple design, and it is a pretty neat effect that can be used in a lot of ways. The only thing I don't like about it; it is a dungeon run treasure. When you cannot build your own deck, this ability just feels super irrelevant 90% of the time. There is no way I would ever pick this over something like "all minions get buff X". So while it is a very interesting card that has a lot of potential and a ton of different interactions with different tribal buffs, I just don't see this card EVER happening in a dungeon-run style format.

    Seconded, you're not alone ;-) I only gave 5 stars once and that was for The Last Candle. The RNG competitors are too much for my taste and I found the flavor of this card so great it deserves to win. I'm a bit sad that Bazaar Break didn't make it (and my own submission of course ;-))

    Thanks for the info about the lore! Are there blood elves already in the game?

    Negative. Hint: It's the centerpiece of an OTK-deck.

    Playstore version still out of order. I lost a quest because of this, 2 days no long in and counting. If they don't deliver tonight I might finally try out mythgard

    It is a legendary, but not that one.

    No. The "brother" is not generated by the card you're looking for.

    Negative. Second hint: the sword is a metaphor.
