  • I like this card. Not super-powerful, but with the right setup it is reasonable powerful. In the best case it is trade off a minion, 4 to face or maybe trade off a totem and leave a 4-2 body. And the deathrattle means that even if it is removed by AoE you get some value, if random. And stealth means that it can currently only be silenced by Mass Dispel. It seems like a fun toy for Stealth rogue, but definitely not meta-breaking.

  • Imagine getting Wand Thief off of this, with the Combo pre-activated.

  • Serious power-creep on C'Thun's Chosen. OTOH, another way to look at it is as reversed Candletaker +1 attack. Seems good.

  • Play this on one, and Fungal Fortunes is unnerfed on two. Or play Overgrowth on three. Oh, and you get to Discover more gas, like Druid these days doesn't have enough spell gas as is. This card is nuts!

  • Conditional Magic Trick with better spells and a body, [b]and[/b] rogue gets to play it too. Seems really good.

  • If you resign and select new packets (paying the fee again of course), do you get to keep the cards from the previous selection?

  • Great deal! As someone new to MTG: Arena, is there any reason not to use gold if you have it? It seems like gems are always at least 5x as good as gold, but was wondering if there were exceptions to that.

  • One idea would be to take away all of the face options for the card effects: Altruis the Outcast, Glaivebound Adept, Metamorphosis, Priestess of Fury, Warglaives of Azzinoth, and Imprisoned Antaen. Then these cards would be used for board control, and the minions for face. And get rid of the AoE spells: Immolation Aura and Chaos Nova don't belong, and are insultingly powerful and efficient compared to the board clear options the "control" classes have or had. And print some weak class cards. And even after that the class would still probably be too powerful. But it would be a start.

  • Yeah, I  love me some Stealth Galakrond, even before the secret nerfs. To add to the mulligan recommendations, Backstab is often a good keep, and therefore with coin Edwin VanCleef can also be strong against some classes if you already have Backstab (like, not Priest).

  • Completed the Legendary Quest. Three times the player who had Snake on a Stick (twice it was me) stomped their way to victory.

  • Queued up a shaman deck with boombots and pick-a-totem. Oh, and a bunch of random junk for cards. Fortunately (?) I was playing against a rogue with other boombots and rush leper gnome, and equally uninspired cards. We paper-cut each other for a while until I was able to drop an 8-8 something and eventually killed him. Yay. Peace out.

  • Looks fun, and Gadgetzan-y. The one thing is that I don't know that any other neutral card generates a specific class card like this one does. That isn't necessarily a problem, but it does make it rather unusual.

  • Yeah, my battle tag is my 6 lb. 20 (2 x 10) year old cat. She doesn't sleep on my lap while I play anymore, but she is still adorable!

  • Thanks! Had a question about submitting the card. I noticed that one has to specify an Expansion (which is fine since it seems like Karazhan fits the theme of the card). Should the watermark reflect the expansion chosen?

  • Edited as per Xarkkal's excellent suggestions. Thanks! (Edit: forgot to add the Battlecry. D'oh!).

  • Thanks for the suggestions! I guess I don't pay enough attention to card wording and watermarks. Also I tend to be too strict in balancing. So, yeah, those are great points.

  • My first attempt at a card design entry. I always loved the fairy tale, and I thought it would be fun to be able to generate tons of Coins.

  • Quote From LautaroLamalfa

    I'm feeling dumb not knowing N°11. Number 4 i have a certain idea from which expansion is. Both of them are quotes, i'm sure of that

    #4...

    is not from an expansion

  • Let's try a different angle with #7:

    A staple in several deck archetypes *and* Battlegrounds for a while.

  • Found #8, which was... obscure. For #1

    This one is really WoW-specific, and despite my title I know almost no lore. So… do what I did and try web searching with the keywords and "wow"
