Hiya folks! As Showdown in the Badlands - Hearthstone's upcoming expansion - is set to begin its reveal season tomorrow, re reckon it's the perfect time to have a little daydreaming fun while we can. Today, we think a little theorycrafting is in order! Join us in making some fun, thematic cards for Showdown in the Badlands!

Make up your own Minion, Spell, Weapon or Location card for Showdown in the Badlands and post it in the comments! Here are a few resources to hopefully grant you an inspiration buff:

Official information on the expansion:

Additional information about the zone itself, as well as notable characters:

Find a thematic location, character or item in the Badlands (or even in Uldaman!) that speaks to you, head on over to Hearthcards.net, make a card and post it in the comments below! Here's our submissions to get you started. You can use any image you like, it doesn't have to be from within the game.


Dragons & Artifacts - A Badlands Staple

Our first entry, Lethlor Ravine, depicts a dangerous black dragon-infested... ravine, on the eastern side of the Badlands. In the Classic era version of the zone, all the dragons here were Elites and thus very dangerous! We're building off their once-lethal demeanor to give Warriors some Dragon minions are are, generally, to be reckoned with.

The Maker's Terrace on the other hand leverages some nice old cards from Kobolds & Catacombs to bring together what the two expansions have in common: lost, buried artifacts. The cards it can generate are: Unidentified Maul, Unidentified Elixir, Unidentified Shield and Unidentified Contract (originally from Rise of Shadows).


Motorcycles & Theft

It's a lawless place out there! Our next entries take that to heart:

 

Martek the Exile, who allegedly beat Deathwing in a knife fight, benefits from his awesome, flying mechano-hog to charge straight at the enemy! What's more, his die-hard fans are ready to die hard to keep him safe!

Steal the Azerite! meanwhile gives particularly sneaky rogues the opportunity to use the ore's unique properties - it is the blood of the planet after all - to get some much-needed healing!

We are aware Martek summons a 2/4 'Hog Fan, while the 'Hog Fan is 2/6. For fairness sake, we can assume the 'Hog Fan's true stats are 2/5.


Now it's your turn! We look forward to seeing what you come up with and we'll see you in the comments!
