Less than 12 hours to ago in this competition as well! Better get those submissions in somewhere in between lunch, tea, second tea, dinner and dessert :) 

Less than 12 hours to go! Don't forget to submit between what hopefully are great holidays for all of you :) 

Happy holidays everybody! 

Hmmm... I'd say hpmor.com is pretty fast paced :)

I'm also currently reading the 5 books Demon Cycle by Peter V. Brett which is just awesome. There are some cutbacks now and then to explain the protagonists' origins as well as slower parts where changes in society take place, but it never gets boring, there's always some action going on. Big recommendation for everyone who likes to read magical fantasy away from the usual spell casting stuff.

Next in line, I've finally given in and gifted myself with the Name of the Wind and The Wise Man's Fear. A colleague convinced me it was worth it to read them even without much hope for the last volume to be released soon. 

Happy to hear that! Flux told me a decision about how to proceed with the series will be made next week after the holidays. I'm looking forward to checking out your deck! 

Not my best idea ever, but I've wanted to try my hands at a working Flame Leviathan for some time.

Feedback:

Bit late for my own party, but work has been busy for a few weeks now. Here's my idea:

I'm still undecided if it should be a Rare or an Epic and if it should cost 4 or 5 mana. The 5 Cost version would mean a Flamestrike and a free Fireball when you're at 7 Mana which seemed a bit too mediocre so I went with the 4 Cost version for now. What makes this really hard to balance though is Hot Streak. The most extreme scenario would basically be a Fireball and a free Flamestrike (Hot Streak into Fiery Lessons = 2 Mana) which might be okay since nobody cares about board presence anyway. I'm looking forward to your feedback!

Not exactly what you are looking for, but maybe you can find some inspiration here:

A lot has been said about the amount of OTK decks in this tournament and the meta in general, but I'd like to add one more piece to the pile: The final Demon Hunter mirror match that decided the World Championship was completely decided by draw RNG. I'm no particular fan of any of the two contestants but I felt sorry for Glory right from the mulligan. He did an awesome job making the best out of his draws, but that just isn't enough when Yogg favors your opponent.

Interesting side note for the Wild community: Salhet's Pride now tutors Alliance Bannerman.

Congrats to linkblade91! And it wasn't even a Paladin card! :P

Jokes aside, cool idea :)

Us Wild step children are silently crying in the corner. 

Feedback at last, sorry for being late! 

Got a weird idea, not sure if this is the right way to phrase the text or balance the card. Feedback would be very appreciated, I'll try to reciprocate ASAP. 

Congrats to BloodMefist, looks like we got tied!

That's the third out of my four wins that is a card for a competition about new keywords (Spellburst, Frenzy, Honorable Kill) and the fourth was technically a new mechanic as well (mounts) :D

You're very obviously perfectly free to do and say what you want, but so is everyone else and with that controversial ideas to begin with and the way you express them on top of that, you really shouldn't be surprised about getting so much negative feedback.

I do agree to some extent that it feels underwhelming when new archetypes don't immediately take off after they're released. But:

1) Don't forget the roation cycle. This is the last expansion of this year so completely new stuff will naturely have a hard time against archetypes that got support throughout the whole cycle so far. Sometimes things come to together two or three expansions later.

2) For some people, figuring out what works and what doesn't is part of the fun. It's no challenge and therefor less rewarding to put together "robot decks" as you call them on day 1 and go down a mirror match spiral of doom. Remember that we are only one week into the expansion yet, it takes some time to figure things out. My personal take is that they should completely abolish the theorycraft stream with the pros by the way.

3) As others have already pointed out, not every archetype is supposed to be competitive. Unfortunately, Burgle Rogue is one of them.

4) Try to tune it down a bit. I certainly know how it feels when you perceive an injustice and people rush to defend that perceived injustice on top of that. Yesterday's Formula 1 finals did that for me when my wife defended everything about Verstappen and I flat out told her she wouldn't come to the same conclusions if the roles were reversed. It ended with me leaving the room because I didn't want to spoil the race for her (she's the fan, I'm most certainly not). What I'm trying to say is: Sometimes we should just agree to disagree and move on. Just keep things polite.

Warlock OP? Well I'm sorry I've got to tell you that's a BINGO!

This is how 2 of my 3 lunch break games ended:

I did the research yesterday and played it against a Pirate Warrior who got the Juggernaut online pretty early. It took some time, but I actually managed to outvalue him in the end. Galakrond was not fully upgraded when I had to play him, both Macaws had to be played with a weak but necessary battlecry so I only got one Shudderwock turn. And it still worked out!

All in all it looks like Pirate Warrior has gotten into trouble. Handbuff Paladin has a decent chance against them as well, they just can't deal with a 20/20 Saidan the Scarlet and Shadowburst Priest has already had a decent winrate against Garrosh before Alterac hit.
