Brazen Zealot (3): Decent 1-drop, but nothing special.
Salhet's Pride (4): Very draft dependant and even then it is kinda slow. It can work in some decks and paladins dont have that much card draw, but i dont think this will perform well in arena on average.
Sandwasp Queen (2): Pretty bad stats for a 2-drop, but the token generation saves it. Drygulch Jailor was a playable card, this is better in terms of temp and vs non-ping classes. Should perform rather ok. Even forcing 3 pings out of your opponent might just be worth it.
Was actually rather funny run. In first game, i managed to change all my minions to Tunnel Troggs. I was feeling pretty good about it, for about a second. I had one Overload card in my deck and didnt get offered another one until like 4th boss. But the one Feral Spirit i did have, i got relatively often, the deck was small after all, so it was kinda working out. At worse i had a 1-drop to evolve twice next turn rather consitently.
I won the game vs Rag by changing all my minions second time to Lifedrinkers for the face damage at one point. Could not compete with the value and dmg Rag was putting out, so i went yolo. He was making some stupid face hits with the weapon into my few high attack minions, so i just leaned into the smorc and it paid off :)
Notifications are not implemented just yet. But they are one of the top priority things we want to bring to you asap.
The best you can do for now is to go to your profile and under Threads tab, you can see in which threads did you respond and you can go and check those threads. Sadly that is it for now. But notifications should be in real soon.
Psychopomp (1): This card is probably gonna be as good as Onyx Bishop. Yes, its stats are complete crap, but it is cheaper and will bring the resurrected minion back one more time. This will make for one sticky board.
Yeah, turn times are the same for you and your opponent. Animations times are not, or rather animation times can go well over the turn limit, but all plays would had to be done within the turn limit. So your opponent is not cheating, just the game does not have another way to resolve the actions then to play out every animation and it takes time ;-)
In the past this could have been abused, the animation would actually eat up time from your turn instead, but shouldnt be an issue anymore, as Thonson said.
Good job! Portal is an interesting mechanic, but maybe a bit complex for HS standards. Like you could play different Portal cards and have the effects "banked up" in certain situations, then it could become very confusing, for both your and your opponent, what do you have in store actually :) I get that by specifying "minion/spell/card" you open up more ways to design your cards or balance them, but at the same time you open up yourself to more confusion. If it was just "a card", then the next card would always consume the Portal ability and would not be possible to have it saved up for several turns until you finally play a spell for example, by which point neither you, nor your opponent might count on that no more lol. But i like your cards overall, so keep doing what ur doing ;-)
Plague of Madness (2): I am not sure how will this card perform, but at first glance this looks like super strong tempo card. Yes, you are giving your opponent a way to kill off two of your minions, but can he really afford the face hits? If you are playing fast tempo rogue as you should, i think this should give you more advantage than it gives to your opponent, more so cause you are the one dictating when the weapons come into play.
I don't get it, isn't it Inner Fire that's the problem? And attack-health swappers, I guess
Hardly, you have Topsy Turvy and like three neutral minions that swap stats. Inner Fire can be (easilly) replaced for the combo.
They said that since Divine Spirit is a thing, we are likely to see 6/4 minion than a 4/6 for priest for example. So that card is apparently restricting design space already. I dont know if i see it as a problem personally, but w/e.
If find that using Dr.Boom make everything more easy: deck are thin so just keep putting bombs into their one until they blow up.
Especially when you get to the penultimate boss, whose entire Hero power is a passive mill of both decks.
That can actually backfire hard, if he is burning the bombs instead of drawing them :D but i guess once he is in fatigue its a guaranteed win, if you didnt manage to get it by then.
BEEEES!!! (1): Basically Shadow Bolt, but can be better. Also druids dont have much decent removal, so this is a big deal for druid in arena.
Weaponized Wasp (3): If you can activate it then its basically Fire Elemental level broken, probably more. But the condition is quite hard for arena, so it will most likely be just an understated 3-drop. Maybe we will get more Lackey generators for shaman or neutral ones, then this could rise in value.
Impbalming (2): Blastcrystal Potion was a premium removal in arena. This is pretty much the same, but with a different downside. Worse one, but not an immediate one. Id expect this card to perform well.
Earthquake (1): Super premium board clear. Volcano was amazing and it wiped your board as well, so the duality does not mean much (would be beyond insane, if it didnt touch your board lolo). The fact that the damage is split in two waves makes it so you can clear tokens like for example after you kill Eccentric Scribe, which is amazing.
Faceless Rager, Twilight Drake, dragon control pally inc! :D

Steward of Darkshire approves!
Did it with Shaman finally at 38:20 lol.

What do you mean? Warlock is part of EVIL league represented by Rafaam himself :o

It doesnt activate the Villain tho, correct?
Yeah, you have to do it in one sitting and choosing treasures or even playing ladder in the meantime still counts toward the 40/60 minute goal.

I legit expected this to say dust it lol. Interesting deck. Probably too slow, but can be fun :)
BEEEES!!! flavor text should have read"Sting like a butterfly, float like a bee!" :) And yes, in this order!
