This card obviously already found a home in wild. I just got destroyed by a druid player who cycled like crazy between 0 cost spells and stuff like Nourish and UI. Between the attack spells, Swipe and UI they can put together quite some damage, with a little luck it's an OTK. From two games against it, it looked quite consistent.
I wanna go with Beast + Mech combo, But Beast will have to do.
And I can't put the Outland watermark even if I check the force button. I wonder what's wrong. Oh well. Neutral it is then.
Have you tried actually creating the card with the Outland watermark? I got really frustrated until I noticed that force applied watermarks aren't shown in the preview.
Feedback: I think you can cut the "random". The battlecry is really only useful against Warlock and Demon Hunter and that way will wiff often enough to justify a targeted removal.
Iskar: There have already been a few questions if the murlocs are able to attach to each other. The idea is cool, but it's a little confusing yet. I'm not sure how to fix this, sadly...
linkblade91: Living Forge looks too scary for me. I like Wildfire Dragon, nice flavor!
Hordaki: Nice card, solid but not OP and the mech tag leaves room for magnetic shenanigans. Well done!
Xarkkal: Great art! I'm not sold on the battlecry, though. Maybe cut the Immune and just give +2/+2?
Dermostatic: Cool card! The effect is strong, but it needs set up and dies easily. I like it, especially the murloc in a cloak!
Wailor: Dragonfang Totem looks like a good idea! I would make it a rare, though.
Demonxz95: The card is really great! Major "but": I would prefer to leave Demon Hunters out of the competition this week. It began before we knew the class existed and some people already submitted before the stream. Minor "but": someone else already submitted a card with that art.
KANSAS: Nice flavor, but as suspected, there's already another submission with a very similar effect. I like yours better, if that helps. Maybe you can change the effect and keep the rest of it?
LarryMoments: Pankoctopus looks really weird. I think it would have to be a Choose One card, wouldn't it? That said, I prefer Astral Spiritbreather over Scavenging Tactician. Nice flavor and the effect invites to find a way to exploit it.
thepowrofcheese: Nice idea, it's really fitting. Is it debatable to make the cost reduction only 2? That would be enough for 5 of the 7 possible targets and getting out a Flametongue Totem or a Mana Tide Totem for free feels too strong for me.
Thanks for the feedback! I also prefer Darktide Conjurer. I could make it cost 7 (stats like... 5/4?) to balance the swing potential... what do you other guys think?
Well, he didn't exaggerate after all. This stream really blew my mind.
Economy: It probably sounds better than it will eventually turn out to be, but it's a huge improvement nevertheless. Crafting epics was a huge money sink which now got the plug. Nice!
Demon Hunter: I'm not ashamed to admit that I prefer aggro and tempo over other archetypes. This class looks insane, there is just so much it can do! We haven't seen single target removal so far and only one true AOE, but it looks super strong to me. Getting all those cards for free just blew my mind.
Priest overhaul: Great changes! Priest is getting an identity after all and I'm looking forward to see those win conditions they mentioned coming with the expansions.
HoF: Good choices. I'm sad about losing Leeroy, but I'm glad I've saved enough dust to craft him golden.
Ranked System: Not sure about the consequences yet, but it looks very thought through. Combined with the announcement of achievements this will work wonders for long time motivation.
Edit, unnerfed cards: All hail Yogg, our lord and savior! They did this whole thing so incredibly well.
All in all, I can't find words for how deeply impressed I am. These are huge improvements and I will gladly keep throwing my money at Blizzard for quite some time.
Can someone give some background information about the lore? Why does a Demon Hunter class run demons for instance? Are they enslaved prey or something? Or do I get the class identity upside down and they aren't hunters of demons but hunting demons?
I like your innovative riddles! I just don't have the time to think it through thoroughly.
That said, Rat Pack seems an obvious candidate for B. EVIL Cable Rat might be C, but it misses the 3... So I go for Hunter's Pack. If that's true, "unnatural" means we're looking for a spell... couldn't find something fitting for now.
I'm sure A or B is a hunter card. "Pack" might mean beasts. The green card that isn't hunter might be a common card, since they are displayed with green text in the forum or there's literally something green in the art.
Sorry for the stream of consciousness style of guessing. I go for Rat Pack and Hunter's Pack. Maybe you could tell us what I got right?
To complete the text critic: the last part is unnecessary in my opinion. You could make it "Choose a minion. Transform adjacent minions into copies of it."
Or would that be not specific enough? Cool design anyway, but I agree with Iskar about making it 6 mana.
I've been busy grinding the last steps to the 1.000 wins Rexxar portrait but got fed up with Dragon Hunter. Highlander games take forever and wild Mech is not strong enough. So I dug out the list which got me to legend the first and only time last year and will only stay in standard for another month or so. Guess what? I'm having a blast of nice memories and a clearly above average win rate, way better than dragon hunter. 4 wins to go till 1.000 :)))
My first idea. Strong minion that can't really go face that easily. You can use it to counter taunts too, giving taunt to untaunted minions, letting you bypass enemy taunts to kill dangerous stuff like Kel'Thuzad. Would be a neat Battlegrounds card too.
Cool idea! Thanks for pointing out the bypass function, I would have missed that at first glance. I think it's a bit overstated, maybe make it 4 mana?
I'm a traditionalist in this case: I would like to keep the current charge minions in the game and live with the fact that they get abused from time to time. With Blizzard getting faster distributing nerfs, decks like Necrium Rogue don't stay a problem for too long. Leeroy is my favorite card in the game and I would be sad to see him HoF'ed.
On the behalf of rush, I side with the opinion that we've reached the edge of what's healthy. Rush adds a lot of depth to the game strategy-wise, but just like with everything else in life, too much of the good stuff is a bad thing. So tuning down the number of rush minions would be a good idea in my books.
It might be a bit off topic, but I haven't seen any speculations yet about the merging of two mechanics which was reported to be happening this year after the summit. Do you think rush or charge could be involved? I don't see many more possibilities that 1) are thematically somewhat fitting and 2) don't lead to completely broken results (like fusing taunt and divine shield). Any ideas?
Are we able to submit tokens? I’m trying to press “add another card” to my submission but it’s not doing anything. I’m on mobile btw
I don't know if that was your submission, but man, that Putricide card is awesome! Shouldn't it be "minions" instead of "minion" though? Nevermind, 5 stars from me.
That's what I feared... While it's a cool idea, this would be very awkward in actual play in said situation. Maybe going Shadowmourne would have been safer.

Favorite card of the set so far. It's finally time to craft Umbra. And boy, that would be an awesome golden legendary to pull from the preorder!

What do you guys think about the news?
Incredible.
Two ideas this week, will add feedback tonight or tomorrow. What do you think?
God: You’re a Demon Hunter.
DH: Cool, what’s my job?
God: You hunt demons.
DH: Ah… demons? Are you sure? How am I supposed to do that?
God: You go face.
DH: I go face?
God: You’re a special kind of Hunter. You go face. Face is the place.
DH: Okay… and what if I meet another DH?
God: Guess.
DH: We perform a secret and fancy greeting ritual?
God: Kinda. It’s called a face-off.
Can someone give some background information about the lore? Why does a Demon Hunter class run demons for instance? Are they enslaved prey or something? Or do I get the class identity upside down and they aren't hunters of demons but hunting demons?
Nice to see all my favorites made it to the finals this time. Good luck everyone!
Finally added Wanderer Rexxar to my Wall of Fame. 1.000 wins Jaina is closer to join him than another class to 500. Maybe I'll go Warrior next.
