    Awesome! I've been wanting to join in this thread for a while, really chuffed I managed to solve that one  :)

    Now for my riddle. Enjoy!

     

    It's a shame there's no room

    In most decks for a groom

    My brother, perhaps

    Could have helped set some traps?

    Oh no, wait... He's relapsed

    beastmaster? tol’vir warden? leoroxx?

    why be content with 1 x existing in your textbox, when you can expand it into 4 x’s? 

     

    edit: btw, this would trigger with all cards that have an “x” in english, even if you’re playing in other languages

    flavor text: “don’t pani.”

    it works similarly to the mystical mirage treasure: cards in your hand are replaced by red-marked copies of random cards in your deck until the end of your turn. the repeatable this turn means you can do it multiple times.

    feedback will come later, hopefully

    first 3 ideas:

    rasil can be used to deny heals from damaged minions, set minions’ reduced costs to their starter costs etc.

    pokeniner - i don’t think that counts, since the innkeeper is not an actual boss with a portrait and custom hero power

    grumpymonk - jin’zo’s flavor seems weird, why when the minions die? interesting idea though. alda seems op at first glance, it’s a mass card draw for hunter that more or less promises a good curve for only 5 mana + a 2/2 body. hesutu seems kind of bland, but it’s alright.

    beatdoof - togwaggle seems kind of weak, there’s no real dragon archetype in rogue. also, it says only “shuffle (card)” when it should be “shuffle (card) into your deck”. norroa seems solid, but i’m afraid it won’t be interesting enough to win

    basilanguis - i don’t know… the burst potential seems insane, not being limited by attack is scary

    I'm not sure about the etiquette on hint-giving, but as it's been a while I'll leave you with some additional info:

    1. A specific word in the riddle gives away the class this card belongs to.

    2. This card's brother is their antonym.

    there isn’t really an etiquette, people mostly do it when they see the thread is dead and want to keep it moving

    ram wrangler, maybe? the brother being hemet nesingwary

    I'm really not sure about this, but I have concerns about two points: 1) Is it okay to not fully spell out what the Hero Power does on the spell? 2) Restoring 2 Health for free looks OP.

     

    i tend to go the swampqueen hagatha/chromatic egg/etc. rule, where programmer’s clarity < practical clarity/aesthetic. if blizz does it, i don’t see why we couldn’t. about the second point, do you think 1 health is better? also, remember that you lose your normal hp while healing. anyway, here’s another idea in a similar vein:

    moroes is a groom, so maybe that. maybe a minion with Deathrattle for the relapse part?

    here’s my initial idea, maybe i’ll think about other ideas later. maybe an hp with a Summon mechanic... anyway, thoughts?

    If I've unscrambled this correctly, it reads 'Flippers of the Old Cods', which references the flavour text of...

     

    Bloodhoof Brave?

    ayyyyyy you did it!! i was starting to think i’d have to hint at a warrior Minion. nicely done, your turn!

    It’s not a collectible card is it? 

    it absolutely is. a hint: From what it seems, the card is just a bit confused as to the name of the set

    I'll try and write down my thoughts about this like last time. Maybe someone is able to pick up a piece and we'll get there together. 

    "cop folded shoplifters"

    DestroyerR told us it's an anagram, so rearranging the letters presents us not only with a coherent answer but also with a hint at a specific card which is strong enough to solve the riddle.

    From "cop" alone I would deduce that the anagram consists of the whole answer and not word by word, since I don't know another word made of the letter c, o and p. So we're looking for a sentence with an unknown number of words, made of 20 letters. (The number of words in the solution would be a great hint!) On second thoughts, maybe the number of words and the number of letters per word are correct... that makes me pretty sure the first word is "the".

    I'd still like to try and think of the solution from the back end onwards like in my example with Hagatha. There aren't that many characters who are iconic enough in context with their set to determine them with a short sentence. The Lich King is another one that comes to mind as well as Arch-Villain Rafaam, Medivh, the Guardian and Dr. Boom, Mad Genius.

    None of those ring a bell for me when it comes to the fact that the riddle is presented in the form of an interview. The only connection I can come up with is Rafaam recruiting the League of E.V.I.L. - maybe he did some job interviews?

    Finally, "mischievous spirits" causes an itch at the back of my mind. Maybe there's a hint in here, but I don't get it (yet). It feels like an error textbox for a game, but that wouldn't help solving the riddle.

    Conclusion: I guess the first word is "the" and it has to be a card that is iconic for it's set. For the sake of making a guess, I say The Lich King.

    it’s a minion, but not that one. as for the hint you requested, the de-scrambled answer contains 5 words. another nudge: perhaps you should try to think less about how iconic a card is in a set or Deck in order to pinpoint it, and more about how... flavorful  it can be.

    lastly, the mischievous spirits part isn’t meaningful in any way, it’s just an excuse to make an anagram.

    i’m glad this take on the riddle is challenging, but if this isn’t that fun for you guys i’ll tone it down a bit

    well, maybe a bit Less outside of the box... the anagram does answer the interview question coherently (meaning it’s closer to a set), but consider this: if the anagram only reveals the set, how come that alone is enough to discover the card?  

    Okay, so say it was an anagram of "They entered my woods", the solution would be Hagatha the Witch?

    possibly. the important thing to remember is that there’s a reason why I presented this riddle With an interview: the card is genuinely trying to answer the question conventionally

    I agreed with your comment that it doesn't really help Untapped Potential decks, so I made this version that could act as a finisher with cards like Oasis Surger in Untapped Potential Druid, and maybe even motivate them to run more Choose One minions instead of mainly Spells. I kept this version as a 5/3 because it seems a lot better. Do you think I should change the design to fit with Untapped Potential, or is it okay if it mainly synergizes with just one quest? 

    i think you may want to change the text. choose one isn’t formatted that way, and the text is barging into the Attack box
