    What has been missed out so far but is also covered by the solution are the free legendarys that come with the preorder bundles. Even without opening packs early during pre-release weekend you're still running the risk of getting Mankrik or Samuro as a part of your preorder. Those pop up when you start the game for the first time after the new expansion went live, so there's no chance to go to the new reward track and claim the free cards before.

    I was wrong about that, Shuckie cleared things up (look below). Thanks!

    Congrats DestroyerR! I think you hit just the sweet spot between sillyness and usefulness :-)

    On a side note I noticed that the average scores are about 0.5 points higher than usual. This might be a first competetion of the new season effect, we will see. Submitting very early also resulted in a lot more votes this time (just look at MathU with 74 votes vs. DestroyerR with 45 votes).

    Good guess, but no.

    Welcome back, Xaril, Poisoned Mind! Now let's hope for a good pool of Poisons.

    I feel strangely jealous about this. Why are they pushing Deathrattles for Demon Hunter? This is Hunter's and Rogue's playing field, to some extents also Priest's.

    I really hope I'll get a golden copy of this. Hero Power Mage is my favorite "new" archetype so far.

    I'm sorry but I'm disappointed. 5 Mana do nothing has to offer a big pay off to be worth the risk and drawing cheap spells doesn't qualify in my books. The only constructive idea I have would be to tutor Bola Shot for a Professor Slate combo to regain the board. You need to have draw both legendarys in the first place to do this, though. Let's hope there's more to this down the reveal queue.

    True, and it would work well with both of them lol. I was talking about Awaken the Makers though.

    Great card for Wild Quest Priest! Might replace Rotten Applebaum, even if having to survive 1 turn longer is no small feat.

    Quote From Elfensilver

    @anchorm4n

    I think it compares favorably too Bloodbloom, which was somewhat playable. Cost and stats are a good callback to the original Kael'thas, but the choice of school seems off: from a quick search in the wowpedia I've found this snippedt:

    Quote From Wowpedia
    Several of [Kael'thas'] followers had left him to join Illidan to be trained as demon hunters and he believed he could harness fel magic just as they did to sate his addiction. Soon, the fel gnawed at his mind, causing him to become more paranoid of his people, believing them to think of him as a failure

    Wow-Gamepedia/Kael'thas

    So while the same effect is somewhat expected for Fel and Warlock/DH, it fits the lore way better.

     

    Thanks for the advice! I will consider making it Warlock / Demon Hunter. The reason I've put it in Priest / Warlock is the self damage theme of the blood magic that belongs to those classes since Scholomance (Flesh Giant, G'huun the Blood God).

    Thanks Elfensilver, I came to the same conclusion. How do you like my take on Kael'thas (last post on page 1)?

    Second idea as I stumbled upon the art.

    I'm sorry, but I'm not a big fan. I don't get the relation between Balance, the guy in the art and Treants. Without a twist to the flavor of the card, summoning Treants is a bit boring for my taste.

    Nice idea! It might be too complicated to win the competition, but I like your thoughts about bringing together the synergies from the Core set.

    Your card looks very strong. I'm not a big fan of the art and also one of those guys who have a problem with applying the wrong watermark though.

    Kor'kron Immolator is too close to Pyromaniac for my taste. I'm also surprised to see a Kor'kron in Mage, but then I'm a lore noob and there's a story behind this I don't know about. Abundance looks interesting, but it might be too strong at 3. Arcane Intellect draws you two random cards while your card tutors specific ones and grants Armor on top of that.

    I think the Fire Spell pool is too small for a card like Ilxos right now. The Gnome looks more interesting and fits the Casino Mage theme. There could be more flavor with a balancing character like in Nirast's Mistress cards.

    Herald of Flame would be almost impossible to play in Standard with only Fireball and Flamestrike having the Fire tag right now. Herald of Light has better chances to see his condition fulfilled and brings just as much flavor without stepping on Jan'alai's toes. You could even make it dual-class.

    I really like the art and "Inquisitor" seems more fitting to me than "Instructor". The first effect looks better to me, nice synergy for Discolock.

    Nirast

    I really like the idea of the three Mistresses being put together in a single card so that all classes can use them. It's strong but not OP, it's versatile and it's very flavorful. Cool idea!

    The statline looks a bit strange and I'm not sure how the effect works out. Not a bad idea, but this needs some fine tuning.

    Solid, strong card. I like it!

    Wooohooo I'm so happy season 3 has finally started :))

    Here's something I had in mind for Scholomance because of flavor and Spell Damage synergies. Since Fireball and Flamestrike are both Fire Spell School spells, I guess this would qualify? But then, Pyroblast isn't part of the Core set... whelp, let's hope they'll reveal a Fire spell during the week. <- obviously wouldn't help because I can't put Barren's cards in a Scholomance card. So I'm down to Fireball and Flamestrike, might as well drop the cost to 3 I guess.
