I've had an idea I'd really like to make work, but I'm not sure if it's even possible mechanically. Could you guys give me some advice on this one?
The idea is to give Professor Slate some much needed support and provide Hunter with pseudo-AOE that is unreliable enough to prevent it from being OP.
The way I want it to work is as follows: Say you have Slate and this guy on board and your opponent has 3 minions. You target the middle one with Rapid Fire. Slate's effect triggers and the minion dies. Now Explosive Archer's Spellburst triggers and kills both adjacent minions. Is that possible? Because technically the targeted minion is no longer there when the Spellburst resolves, so I'm not sure if the game is able to define adjacent ones. Finally, I was wondering if the text needs an "(if possible)" at the end, because of stuff that doesn't target minions (like secrets, spells aimed at face, Animal Companion, whatever). I'd be very thankful for advice on these issues as well as the rest of the card (might change the name as well). I'll provide feedback as soon as I can.
Edit: Thought some more about the text and I think it needs to be more specific. Headmaster Kel'Thuzad is probably a good reference. What do you think about this:
Double "damages" sounds weird though, I might try and sneak in a "hits" like in Corrosive Breath. Might even be necessary to make the effect trigger when the spell targets a minion with Divine Shield. Damn, this is complicated!
Really cool cards this week. My favorites are Dive, Drowned Harbinger, Naga Fel Witch and Submerged Mine. My money is on the Harbinger, but Submerged Mine would be a great first win for Hunter. The card has so much potential but it needs some time to think through how it would be played and I'm not sure all the voters can spare that. Fingers crossed anyway!
Very cool idea for an expansion, that's such a cool story to tell! I especially like how every class covers both sides of the conflict. My favorite card is the Shadow Hunter. Well done!
I would assume that the last two lines mean that there are 4 cards of a certain minion type in a "Deja Vu" expansion. "Scratch Maker" hints at Beast or Dragon, but I don't know which expansion is considered a Deja Vu. The only one that looked suspect to me is Galakrond's Awakening, but there are no four cards of a single minion type in that. "Purple dude" might mean it's an epic or a Warlock card.
GvG has 4 Beasts, but non fits the first two lines.
Witchwood has 4 Dragons, no luck with the rest of the riddle again (except maybe thir colors: 3 green, one purple).
For the sake of making a guess I say Nightscale Matriarch, the purple Dragon among 3 other Dragons in Witchwood. Maybe someone else can build upon my reasoning and/or Live4vrRdieTryn can confirm/deny what I got right or wrong.
Nice theme and so cool ideas! I've already spotted two 5 star cards on the first page. For my part, I have decided to submit my idea from last week since people seemed to like it.

Very cool idea, I like it a lot! The only question I have is if this wouldn't be better in Shaman. Maybe it's the influence of Lady Vashj, but Azshara doesn't feel like a Mage card for me. Admittedly, I don't know about her lore, so maybe that's why you put her there. Linkblade having the same idea is a strong indicator, too. Maybe add one or two sentences about that to your submission?

Very nice of you to try and #makehunterwinawcdc, but I think Drown is better. Natural fit for Priest because of Plague of Death. I don't like the art very much to be honest though.

All of the art looks a bit too realistic for HS imho. The warrior card has lots of flavor with the shark/blood/damaged minion theme, but Darius Crowley cries in a corner. Maybe reduce the buff to +1/+1 wouldn't step on his toes that much.

An interesting card, if not very exciting. You should make sure to explain what this could be used for in your submission. What do you intend to do with all the coins after your pirates have died? Create a huge Edwin?

I've created a somewhat similar card last season which didn't get many points. That said, your idea looks better. Solid card!

Cool card! Did you try to move the statline of the Kraken to the last line? That would avoid the "orphan".

I like Naga Fel Witch a lot. Very nice idea!

Nice use of the blood/shark/damaged minion theme, just like Wailor's card. The art is on the brink of being too sketchy for HS imho. I would prefer this to be a Warrior card, I don't get much Hunter flavor. The statline of the shark should be aggressive, but I'm not sure if 4/3 or 5/4 would be better. Most importantly, you should definitely create a token card!

Is it Kobold Librarian?
Green because it's a common, Taker because of his intro voice line ("Me take book").
Purple Dude because it's a Warlock card,
Scratch Maker because it's a Kobold
Four Total in Deja Vu references to my last riddle: his stats are 1/2/1 which adds up to 4.
Worked for me. Thanks for sharing!

Congrats to BloodMefist! Well done :-)
Animated Avalanche is correct. Live4vrRdieTryin you're next!
Nope.
Feeling so alive
Stats are four times five*
If you care to bother
To play my kin, I'll fetch my brother
*stats include mana cost
Ah, thanks.
Pretty sure it's Queen of Pain.
What I take I will give, though little it is - Lifesteal, but only 1 attack
I will obey my master's wishes - filler line
I was once unique, until others copied me - unique effect until Lifesteal became a keyword
But now I have ascended to royalty - reference to the nerf of the name and the art
Very nice riddle, but the "royalty" part narrowed it down pretty much.
Hm. Maybe I got it right but screwed the timeline of the riddle. Dragonqueen Alexstrasza?
Nice, all my favorites made it. Good luck to you all!
The only character I can think of that "ascended to royalty" is Alexstrasza. Would also fit the rest of the riddle pretty well I think.
Mal'Ganis it is, back to you KANSAS :D
You're on the right track. It's a bit more iconic than that, though.
Okay, wasn't that easy after all. None of the cards you mentioned is correct. First hint: I violated Live4vrRdieTryin's first tip.
Since it was my turn before KANSAS, this is an easy one.
I buff and attac
I guard and protec
I'm essential for every infernal deck
