    This card reminds me of a less OP version of Reno's treasures from Tombs of Terror.

    So many people are going to hate this card when it gets played against them. I can't wait, lol.

    This is pretty crazy and looks like fun. I do enjoy cards that buff my deck, but can you imagine playing this after Dinotamer Brann?

    Relatable, flavorful, and has a great chance to work with decks like mech and Librium pally.

    I love cards like these. The thrill of RNG, compensated by a cost reduction to make that expensive card you got stuck with far more playable.

    Now this is a card I never thought I needed, but I love it. Surprise benefits on a basic body that bring the board into the game itself. I like the idea of the atmosphere/setting of a battle having an effect on the outcome.

    Oh, the cycle fun you can have with this card. Just wait until more crazy spells come out, and you'll be able to inflict a lot of damage or heal a lot of health. Basically a minion that can turn any spell into a Twinspell.

    Basically a neutral Doomed Apprentice that only lasts one turn, but it looks like it cold be useful as another counter against those spell-heave decks like res priests and mages.

    As someone who recently graduated from college, I think I'm going to find a lot of these cards relatable in their flavor. This title sure sums up how I was in my first year, lol. It looks like it could be a good base card for enhancements or a first turn sticky card.

    Nothing I'd consider stand-out, but it should be a nice addition to divine shield synergy. Reminds me a bit of the [Hearthstone Card (Glass Knight) Not Found] from Witchwood.

    So this is largely like a neutral version of Arcane Flakmage that can use any spell instead of just secrets, with the trade off that it only happens once and affects your minions as well. Not a bad deal in my opinion.

    Interesting. This looks like a solid body that summons what remind me of [Hearthstone Card (Kolbold Berserker) Not Found]s. Fits the flavor of a bully ringleader very well.

    Very excited about this. Not much Warrior deathrattle synergy that I can think of at the moment, and having such a sticky card looks really fun to play as. Also, it's a legit boss from the WoW dungeon, so that's always bonus points for me.

    Great ideas about how it could expand to include more characters. Throwing in Uther's tomb and teh Argent Dawn/Scarlet Crusade would answer the question of how the heck they are going to make paladin cards out of a set based in a secret school for necromancers.

    Fair point, but it's more likely that they will go on the goofy side to balance out the seriousness of Outland's tone.

    I like where this is going in general for the thematic angle. I know that there are art versions of all of those class mounts. You found a few of them, but there should be one for each. For proper flavoring purposes, you might want to keep in mind that the idea behind a Legendary card is that it is named and unique as an individual, not one of many. I'd advise at the very least that you give names to the Cloud Serpent legendaries or dig up some lore names of notable cloud serpents that you can use. Here's a link to an article to give you ideas. Just look under the "notable" section. https://wow.gamepedia.com/Cloud_serpent

    The same could be said for the flavoring of the mounts. I love the idea of the mounts that you are working with here, and it fits your Stamina idea well.  It can be pretty simple. For example, instead of "Wrathstead", you can make it "The Wrathstead" to indicate that there is only one and that it is unique. I'd also like to point out that Anzu has a stronger connection with arcane magic and the void than with druid powers, so  you might want to reflavor that one. 

    Finally, I'm curious why you opted to make a third version of Alexstraza.

    Good ideas. I'd forgotten all about the Bladed Gauntlet. I wonder if the two cards would work together in a wild meme deck.

    Don't forget the Demon Hunter Storage Wars video! I loved almost everyone's performances in that one. Might be my favorite video like that they've ever done. Hope we get another fun one like it this next week or so for the next expansion.

    Thank you :) The front page article is just a portal to the guide to allow more people to see it, so the article itself is never viewed, just this guide that it links to.

    Excellent point. I must have missed that when I looked over his fight tactics. My apologies. Still, I would consider his most flavorful aspect to be the whole "blades instead of hands" feature, and I'm not sure what the best way would be to represent that as a card except for equipping a weapon somehow. Any ideas?
