Perhaps "Funniest Turn 2 Ever" would've been more appropriate? I also went into this thread expecting a good play. I get that the current title is meant to be sarcastic, but conveying sarcasm on the internet is very different than doing so in real life where you can hear the speaker's tone of voice.
It's a bit of a shame too. The guy/girl looked like they had a legitimately good idea. They just made a miscalculation in the process.
Hey, really nice work on the class. The aesthetic of the class is great, and the effort is admirable.
I however do agree with Malcolm that Tactic is a bit of a confusing keyword. Some additional criticism:
The Hero Power should have "Hero Power" in bold at the top.
Class keywords are not allowed to be on Basic cards, so you'd need to move Pandaren General out of Basic.
You should post the upgraded Hero Power somewhere on the front page.
Keywords by themselves don't use periods (Goldshire Footman). Only when it's part of a sentence (Prince Valanar), or [Hearthstone Card (occasionally) Not Found] when a line uses multiple keywords (Obsidian Statue), or sometimes commas are used instead (Walking Fountain). The ruling on this however is admittedly very inconsistent. Sometimes, keywords are found on their own line as well (Argent Commander) if they have no effects. There are very strange rulings about this.
Dragon Portal should say "4-Cost" instead of "4-Mana".
The name Into the Fray has now been taken as of Saviors of Uldum.
Lich Mystic raises some questions. Since minions most often have 0 Health when they die, it'll only gain Attack. In fact, if a minion took *more* damage so it would have -1 Health or less, would it actually lose Health instead?
Cursed Fire is a dangerous design. In fact, permanent Attack reduction in general is a dangerous design. You don't want to be able to lock your opponent's board out.
Most of the cards seem balanced (although I think Torga is really weak). Some of my favorite cards here include Pandaren Jouster and Planning Ahead. I love what you did with MSoG stealing the other gang's powers.
Here's my first shot at trying a "minion" version of strongholds. I honestly have no clue what I'm doing, lol. I think I like the "quest" idea better, but I still can't figure out how to design their ability to be removed without making it some sort of insta-win if your opponent doesn't have those specific cards in their deck. For example, let's say I made one defeatable by playing a card like a dragon or elemental. If they don't have one of those cards, I'm perfectly safe and they don't stand a chance.
Well the first thing that came to my mind after reading your Post was Blackhowl Gunspire ...
So i guess these "Stronghold" Cards should always work like some sorft of Defense ... maybe like this:
[img]http://www.hearthcards.net/cards/7e701b54.png[/img] - anyone know how i can link this one so it shows up as the real card and not just the link ??
I realy like this Idea!!
Like this.
Click the "Insert/Edit Image" button in the post interface, and paste the image URL. Change the dimensions as you wish. 200 is the size I normally use.
Although you shouldn't use links directly from HearthCards. Cards from HearthCards can only be saved for about 3 days. If you want your card to be permanent, you'll need to host it on an image sharing site such as Imgur.
Shatterstar1998 and I did something like this for Timestream Tracking. One of the sets there had a "Shrine" mechanic (bear in mind this was made before Rastakhan's Rumble, hence the name). Ironically, this year was called Year of the Dragon, and had a plot overarching all of the sets, kinda like Hearthstone's "real" Year of the Dragon.
They worked as collectable dormant cards that you would place on the battlefield, and would destroy themselves after a certain number of turns.
Right now, I feel like downvoting you is just kind of a "funny" thing you're known for, so people keep doing it to keep the tradition up. Let it be known however that I haven't downvoted you at all, not even in "The Downvote Effect".
In addition to that, posts that have a negative score are more likely to be downvoted, even by people who don't actually read the comment in question that they're downvoting. It's not uncommon for members to downvote a comment with a negative score without even reading it.
Well, we finally got tournament mode... except that it's only for players in China.
What I don't get is that if they already have the interface and game formatting set up and they're using it in China, why can't they use it everywhere else too?
I'm thinking of reskinning the SoU Quest, Legend of the Obelisks, into The Eternity Chamber.
In addition to the fact that Priest already has an obelisk related Quest in terms of the expansion's storyline, I feel like this fits the flavor better, and I want to have a chance to use this artwork for something. The artwork still doesn't fit with every Quest as they have their class's respective Explorer or Villain in their artwork, which is not possible with my SoU Quest.
There is some evidence to support this theory as well.
During one of the Rise of Shadows trailers, at around 0:21, a tentacle attempted to pick up a card, and appears to come from where Lazul is sitting.
There's also the Lackeys. Each one thematically fits with a villain. Kobold Lackey-Togwaggle, Goblin Lackey-Dr. Boom, Witchy Lackey-Hagatha, Ethereal Lackey-Rafaam, and then finally, Faceless Lackey would have to be Lazul.
I certainly never expected this to show up, but I love it.

+1 for the pun.
Since Spoilers aren't added yet, I've compiled all the Time Traveler content for Dungeon Run, Rumble Run, and Dalaran Heist into Docs sheets.

This will be added to the main post in a second. EDIT: Done now.

I want to see more of this.
I guess the idea was that you put it on a Taunt minion, so your opponent would be forced to attack it, but at the same time, can't attack it.
Thank you again for taking part in this.
Nice!
15 Health on a 1-Cost minion?
If it was unplayed at 7, and overpowered at 5, they could've at least tried it at 6 instead of going back to 7.
I agree. It's actually quite a sweet bonding experience.
I can bet there will be more changes than this.

Kinda like The Caverns Below.
It's amazing how often this happens.

I believe 'Silver Hand Recruit' is actually specifically coded to not bold Recruit when phrased like that.
Oh, duh. Somehow skipped over that part, or maybe it was added after I posted my original comment. Thank you.

So what do you guys think, is this better?
