I'd also like to say that I like the minion/dormant ideas, but they do have the drawback of not showing off as much of the art as the larger picture on a spell card. Given that I'm designing these purely to capture the flavor of taking refuge in an iconic location, that kind of defeats my purpose.
But they do have an advantage of being visible, which is more important. You play a spell that says "active for 3 turns" and after one or two turns you forget it is active or dont remember how long is left. That is a horrible design, if you ask me.
Being able to filter for them specifically should come with being able to filter by keyword. Once that is implemented, these two, among other things, should go in that filter.
I like the idea of dormant cards providing bonuses. First of all, they already exist in the game (warlock Q and some PVE stuff), it provides an extra balance options (takes up one board slot) and stays visible at all times, so neither player forgets they r active.
Now the balance and effects and possible counter play, that is a different story :)
What are you talking about he played Zephrys into leaving 7 mana. That was not what happened :o
He played two spells and was left with 2 mana. So maybe playing spells said Zephrys that you might have a spell heavy deck and 2 mana left over nudged him into a 2-drop that would help in a spell heavy deck. How consistent that is, i dont know tho.
First of all, the notification system is in its very basic form and we do not go back and manually monitor every single thread we respond to, i know i dont. We wouldnt have time to do anything else.
Second, i agree that ppl shouldnt mass downvote you, or anyone, just cause. That being said, you did bring this on yourself, encouraging it even. You cant honestly be surprised you get what you asked for.
Thirdly, yes, we know you very well. I know you very well. And i dont feed your BS ego if i dont have to, but i guess this post will do just that. I fully understand that ppl like you are part of the community and to some extent are even good for the forum, but only in small doses.
Ever since you came here and your activity increased you started the good old subtle trolling routine you always do. You try to "gently" poke wherever you can and appear as that your intentions are pure and you don't mean nothing by what you write, but in fact you know very well what you are doing. You learned to walk the thin line of being troll-y just enough to start flame wars, but (usually) not enough that it would warrant a warning. You probably got like 1/3rd of warnings you should have gotten on hpwn, but we didnt want to feed your ego and give you even more wood for the fire "oh look, i cant say anything, the mods are banning me for everything hur dur". And then you come out and play a victim, when what you started comes back to bite you. How unexpected.
Obviously, i dont agree with, nor promote, "bullying" in any form of any one member of our community, wheter it might be waranted or not. You are not without a blame in all this and as Flux said, we are not going to ban multiple members just cause they did what you wanted them to. With that said, i would like to ask anyone reading this to not feed Sherman's ego by giving him more downvotes. You stop a troll by ignoring him, that is the best tactic.
Sherman, no one but you has this problem. Why? Because they are not going out of their way to create one. I know that what i wrote will just be ignored or laughed at by you, i expect as much, but my naive self think that maybe calling you out might flip a switch in you or something and have you stop and think about yourself for a second and how you behave and why are these things happening to you over and over. /rant end
HOLY SHIIIIIIT. Well, this will make arena interesting thats for sure. We are probably not going back to the "rarity" system. Probably just FFA draft. This is going to be insane, they are arguably throwing balance in the drafting phase out of the window and making it just a high-roll situation. Which is the main thing (almost) everyone complained about whenever they made huge changes and they had to adjust the system to compensate. So ... that will be interesting to see how this turns out.
Added Odd/Even archetypes to classes that were missing these. I could have sworn i did that before, but apparently not.
I dont think a "Minion Mage" is worth its own archetype, you can put it under tempo or midrange mage and be fine with that.
Understood. Just thought that with recent cards from Uldum, for Shaman class, do you think it's worth adding Totem Shaman? I mean, it was used way back in TGT-era and I believe that new cards might resurrect this archetype from its graveyard.
Yeah, why not. That one seems plausible with the new totem focused support cards. Added.
Is it possible to add Odd/Even archetype across all classes? Although rare, one would like to share her/his Odd Priest or Even Warrior so to say, which will help finding more unique decks. What do you say, fellow members of OoC?
P.S: I'm sure there is an archetype named "Minion Mage" which was started with Book of Specters. Or, do I have my facts wrong?
P.S.S: Let a topic be sticky for forgotten archetype suggestions.

I changed the name of the thread, but i dont think making it sticky is worth it, not like we are gonna have new archetypes every day. Ppl can find this and request it here, on discord or via PM, if they feel the need a new archetype should be added.
Looking good overall! Tho one thing looks kinda silly, how is Guardian Monk, a class card, worse than a neutral one from the same set? Sen'jin Shieldmasta. I get this is Basic card, but class cards are generally at least slightly stronger than neutral cards, not reverse power-creeped :)
Because I forgot Shieldmasta existed when I was making that card, :P I'll drop it to 3 Mana to even things out.
How can you forget about one of the most iconic cards in HS, phew! :) Yeah, lowering the cost to 3 mana seems like a good adjustment

But does less total damage (which can be relevant vs warrior, but you probably dont survive vs warrior anyway :D). Still a pretty fun deck id say :)
What can i do, i like to eat and drink xaxaxa :)
Yeah, that is the only way to write a PM to someone right now :/

Probably the strongest thing about Tomb Warden is the fact its a mech, so you can discover it again.

The practice lately is to release the PVE content aprox. month after the expansion release, so yeah. The timer is probably from the launch day.
Oh ok.
Maybe you get the second one in another bucket? The future buckets usually offer specific synergies after you pick a path.
Well, i hope we cleared the air, im going to close this.

Guys, don't forget to give him a card to make a deck for next week! :)
Wouldnt Skulking Geist be better tech vs Armor Druid?
Pretty sure the adventure will be more than 5 pounds anyway, so you better spend it now.
Yeah, why not. That one seems plausible with the new totem focused support cards. Added.
