Looks like the thing for Naga is holding them in hand while casting spells to gain an effect, and spells that gain an effect if you played a Naga while it was in hand.
Falvour-wise, this seems to be two murlocs held together by some sort of Old God goo. So I'm guessing whatever Gigafin eats, it goes into the Maw. Kill the Maw, and you've killed your friends that it ate. Kill Gigafin, and you break the goo, releasing everyone.
Something that just occurred to me is cards that generate a lot of junk in your hand are great with this. Like Licensed Adventurer or Razorpetal Lasher. Replace those cards with good stuff from the bottom of your deck. Doesn't mess with draws, either, unless your deck gets shuffled, and it's nice fatigue buffer. Not sure there's anything like that in standard, though.
Oh, you misunderstand. I LOVE the way players take turns playing minions, and the spell speeds are great. My issue is literally with how minions bonk each-other in the face. If you could choose what minions to attack into (basically if all of them had Challenger), it'd be the perfect game for me.
OR, you could join up with Legends of Runeterra, which is basically all of that, but we know FOR SURE that you never, ever have to spend money on cards. Period. Full Stop.
Wouldn't compare the two, since Runterra has very different mechanics that not everyone might like (I, for one, don't like the combat).
Still not touching Skyweaver with a mile-long Pokey Stick because it uses crypto crap.
I mean, sure - not liking the combat is a good reason not to play LoR.
I just cannot really comprehend, personally, why anyone would not like the combat system of LoR. Assuming they take some time to get used to it.
My issue is that it's a reactive system (your opponent attacks, and you choose what to block with), while I prefer more proactive versions (you can choose what you attack into), like Hearthstone.
Regarding the year long story, they seem to be alternating between them, since there was no story in 2020, but there was one in 2019. We'll have to see how 2023 will be.

Nah, don't want to bring Contact Fusion into this, since it's a special case to a summoning method rather than it's own. Stardust Dragon will just have to be Solemnly Judged.
Oh, yeah, you're right. Will replace it with a proper example later today. I think I used Fusion because it was part of the game from the very beginning, and didn't want to use Synchro or later.
Oh, yeah, everything after 3400 is Legacy. I didn't notice because I was paying attention to the Gems, since the quantity is more varied early on. Thanks for pointing it out, fixed!
Exactly what I was thinking. Oof!

Didn't think I'd see the day Rothos, the Traveler makes it to Hearthstone.

Mal'ganis, Malorne, Mogor, Troggzor. Lots of legs that have nothing to do with goblins and gnomes as far as I can tell.
Granted, it was their first expansion, and were still using existing art, so there's that.
Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream!
Nagaly, Nagaly, Nagaly, Nagaly,
N'zoth wakes from his dream!

Glad you enjoyed it! Hopefully we'll have the chance to do some other stuff like this in the future.
The one from Bandai? If there's interest, I can look more into it, it's quite different.
Well, well, well, well! I'm really excited for Jhin, I love cards that look at a game's rulebook and say "Nah, screw this!", they're very fun!

I'll get back to you in April. (not even joking on this)
Zodiacs are fairly inexpensive, and they're also pretty good in standard.
All according to keikaku*!
