Once Upon A Time in Azeroth - A Custom Expansion - Reboot (WIP)

Submitted 1 week, 1 day ago by

A long long time ago, in a website far far away called hearthpwn, Demonxz95 and I collabed to create an expansion called Once Upon A Time In Azeroth as a part of the Year Creation Competition. You can check the old version of the expansion on Hearthpwn: 

https://www.hearthpwn.com/forums/hearthstone-general/fan-creations/220323-timestream-tracking-year-creation-competition-1?comment=9

The expansion receive good attention to the point of advancing to the next round. Since then, many things have changed. The power level of the game has increased, the creation of a rotating Core set, two new classes were added and spell schools are added. With that in mind, I have decided to return and reboot this expansion with the intention of updating the expansion for the current power level as well as finishing it as a full expansion with Demon Hunter and Death Knight cards added. Demonxz95 doesn't participate in this project but he gave me his blessing. 

Mechanic & Keyword:

 

 
  • Legacy effects can be fulfilled and activated multiple times per turn.
  • Cards with Legacy effect in the other sets will have their wording modified to include these keywords. For example:

 

Stories cards: Stories are powerful Legendary spells. All of them have powerful Start of Game effects as well as a separate, weaker effect when played. Each class will have a Story that will tied to the theme of their set. They are heavily build-around cards that demand a specific playstyle or cards to be effective. As per tradition of the recent expansions, each players will receive a  Story of the class they chose when you first log in:

  

   
  • Slumber of Azeroth and The Great Flood are two examples of the Story spells this expansion. While the other Stories won't necessary be that Control-oriented, these two are a pretty good example of these spells since they required clever deck building to take advantage of their extremely powerful reward or consistently have time to finish the Story in the first place.
