It's also kinda weird that the only class having a viable purely-spells strategy is Hunter, which isn't really a spell-casting class lore/flavorwise.
Its weird, if you look at it only as casting spells, if you look at what the spells represent - shooting arrows, summoning companions, setting traps, tracking - i think it is a lot more plausible :) That being said, i do agree that it wouldnt be my first pick at a class who could/should be able to do that :)
I think power creep largely killed jaraxxus. I hadn't even considered him because I haven't seen one around in *ages*. There's just too many decks that can kill you from 15 hp.
I really wouldn't mind if he was reworked to be more in line with a regular hero card because I really like mistah J, but boy does it feel bad to have you max health capped at 15. If he worked more like Alexstrasza , where you could heal back up to 30 afterwards and retained your armour, he'd be a lot better in 2019 Hearthstone.
It would definitely be good, if you could heal to 30 once you transform to Lord Jaraxxus, but it just wouldnt make sense flavor wise, nor mechanic wise. Also, they just reaaaaaaaaaaaaaally dont want to touch anything about him, they said so many times, so yeah :/
Never played WoW myself, but iv seen threads pop up from time to time where ppl wished for an Uldum expansion for years now, saying that it is one of the most iconic places in WoW and that it has great lore and locations. I would gladly explore that in Hearthstone :)
Doesn‘t seem to greate but the synergy with Ray of Frost pops into mind. It‘s only a two card combo and an 8 mana 9-9 that has to be removed instantly. Could be even bigger with sorcerer apprentice.
I wouldn’t be to surpised to see this as a tech card for mages in specialist format but i wouldn’t bet on or either! The overall synergy with conjurer mage is not that big at
What do you mean 8 mana 9/9? If anything, then 10 mana 9/9, ray of frost does not cost 0. And if you assume Sorc Apprentice on board, then the combo is even worse, since it requires another card and will cost 10 mana total again. I get where ur coming from, but your example, even if it did cost 8 mana total, is not a good one to make this card look useful. Just a big body and a "wasted" card ... in mage? Might as well play Gruul and be better off, but you wont, cause Gruul sucks, this sucks more :/
Hi, thanks for your input. We already had this suggested and have it logged as a requested feature on to-do list. I suppose one can view it as a bug too, i can see where ur coming from. Either way, i will close this thread as it is requesting the same thing, so the discussion is kept in one place.
The search function was implemented in a very basic format for now, will get improved later on, but switching to default threads shouldnt be a problem imho, i made a note of that.
Can't wait for the next competition, almost edging to just start one myself.
I do have a suggestion as for picking the winners vs how it worked on HearthPwn:
Show all the submitted entries (just the images + any tokens + flavor text) on page one. You could submit your card on page three, but the image itself (+ any tokens + flavor text) would be shown on page one at the top in a separate block/list. That way voters don't have to go through multiple pages and there is no discussions/annoyance anymore from creators about being on page X or page Y.
Maybe you could read all the cardimg blocks from the posts to get the images. Any cardimg blocks in a spoiler block would then be considered as a token. And if you want to use a flavor text, you can put in italic and read out the italic blocks. That way you have a fixed format for creators to adhere to and a way to show all the cards created in one clear list. I'd also add that you can't upvote until the card submission period is completed. Otherwise those who quickly put up an image might get more votes simply because visitors saw it early.
Just a few thoughts for improvement for the new forum. :P
Worry not! Like i said, we will have a dedicated system for it, for example not relying on which page you submit at all (and more) ;-)
Creation competitions are very close. We will have a completely dedicated system for it, better than what we could achieve with forum capabilities on hpwn, so give us a little bit more time to bring that to fruition and then we can start right up! ;-)
Someone in the reddit thread said that Kripp is probably traveling to Scottland or something during this time, so thats why he is probably not attending. But that is just what i read there, no idea if it is true or not.
I don't agree on your assessment of Siegebreaker and Gift of the Wild, but other than that I have the same impression of the new classic cards as you. Siegebreaker is comparable to a Violet Warden or Bog Creeper, so probably somewhere between a 2-3?
Gift of the Wild is nowhere near Silver Sword in power level, as you can invest the mana upfront and then build up your board with SS in the following turns. With GotW you'll need a board and at least three minions to be worth the high cost, so it's clearly a win more card. Why would I pick this when I can close out games much cheaper with Blessing of the Ancients or Savage Roar? Honestly I wouldn't even give this a 3 rating.
I wont disagree, i might had been a little too hyped right after seeing them haha. I definitely did have Bog Creeper and Furious Ettin in mind when evaluating Siegebreaker, so i looked at it as a taunt on similar power level with additional synergies. Probably is "just" a 2.
Gift of the Wild same thing, probably should have said "close to Silver Sword power level" rather than same. Yeah, it can totally tank in the end, but it is another finisher for a druid, which is a nice thing. You dont always get an option to draft Savage Roar either. Again, not disagreeing with you on this one per se, but im a bit more optimistic about the card than you :) Even tho i would not mind at all, if i was wrong lol.
If they ever wanted to print a card with this exact effect, it had to be a Basic card. Imagine this being from the new expansion. People certainly wouldn't be happy...
I suppose ur not wrong. Chronologically, all the other similar cards are just better variants of this, a Basic card :D It just feels so shitty being added after them, but i guess i do appreciate the reversed consistency (intended or not).
I expect most of these to be pretty underwhelming, even in Arena. Of the lot I'd say the SI:7 is the best card, just a solid 5/4 for 4 with potential upside, runner up is the Siegebreaker. Th other minions are understatted and/or situational. Sure, if you see a Whitemane it's probably going to be the best pick in the bucket but it's no Lich King; if you want good value from it you need a board that you can trade into enemy minions. That brings me to Righteousness and Gift of the Wild, both of which are win-more cards. I expect them to have a low win rate and a disproportionately high played win rate, because if you do manage to land either one that's game over.
Yeah, kinda my point. Those cards are certainly win more cards, one could almost say win now cards and you do want some cards like these in your deck. Hell, Savage Roar or Bloodlust are such cards and you pick them regularly and win games off them. I am a bit sceptical about Righteousness still, but Gift of the WIld i think will be a dark horse. Def agree with SI:7 being a great card on its own. Will see it a lot for sure, just due to its statline being an ok 4-drop with an upside.

No need, like i said, fine for record sake or to get more info from anyone feeling like they have something to add ;-)

As we've talked on Discord, this issue is already on our radar, but making a thread for record sake or to gather more info is fine by me ;-)

I dont think we have that implemented for regular users yet, what do you want it it say?
What do you mean 8 mana 9/9? If anything, then 10 mana 9/9, ray of frost does not cost 0. And if you assume Sorc Apprentice on board, then the combo is even worse, since it requires another card and will cost 10 mana total again.

CG to team EducatedCollins and ShadyBunny to the win! Good job guys!
Ppl want what they want, this deck is just too good!
Sure, no one is stopping you from running your own contest or just a thread to post custom cards in :)

Edited some more names on the list and added the link to the official attendee list, it is finally starting to fill up as well.

GOGO Boozor! :)
