The Minuscule Realm - Full 183-Card Custom Expansion + Mini-set

Submitted 1 month ago by

Welcome to The Minuscule Realm! After casting a spell from a scroll he just looted somewhere, Reno Jackson found himself shrinking little by little until becoming the size of an ant. Now, the reckless explorer will have to deal with swarms of insects his size, colossal birds that could eat him in a single peck and, worst of all, the backwards society of the Mycropian fairies.

Creatures of this scale are used to feeling dwarfed by everything around them. But, no matter the size, life is resilient, so they've found strategies to fight back when they're Outsized.

(Outsized can be triggered both by you and your opponent, so it can also work as a disruptive tool)

Of course, this isn't the only survival strategy employed by these tiny creatures. Some of them will also Gather resources to survive the harsh winter, while others will Metamorph and flourish into powerful Imagos.

Some insects will also form colonies, developing an Eusocial behaviour. These archetypes are defined by their Queens, who will trigger a powerful effect if you've summoned enough of their offspring.

And finally, this expansion will also bring back Colossal. However, instead of humongous sea monsters, the creatures featured this time will be house cats, birds and even gnomes. After all, they are just as scary when you're a tiny Mycropian.
 
 
As a little twist, some of the new Colossal will feature different appendages.
 
 
 
 

 

Death Knight

Once upon a time, there was a sorceress in Oberon's court whose power made the king of the fairies afraid. With the excuse of her being a user of Shadow magic, she was cast away to the deepest part of the Rotten Forest, a place inhabited by all kinds of horrifying spiders. This would've been a certain death for any other fairy, but not for her.
 
Using her dark magic, she was able to transcend death by becoming an Undead hybrid between a spider and a fairy, being reborn as Arachne, the Spider Witch. She then rose an army of Undead fairies known as the Rottenberry, hellbent on burning Mycropia to the ground.

Demon Hunter

The forests and wastelands around the Kingdom of Mycropia are wandered by solitary fairies who have chosen the life of a hunter. Some of them were expelled from society for crimes they may or may have not committed. Others chose to walk away from this corrupt society on their own volition. And a few of them have been born into this life, with no choice of their own.

These pariahs are believed to have the soul of a scorpion and, in fact, many of them have chosen this ruthless animal as a companion in their hunt. In any case, you don’t want to be picked as their next prey…

We define eusociality as a set of behaviors some species of insects display, characterized by a complex social structure. Eusocial insects build sizeable nests, in which thousands of individuals live, each with their own role and specialization. Among all of them, there's one who stands above the rest: the Queen.

There are three eusocial species that inhabit the proximities of our home, the mighty Kingdom of Mycropia: the Lightjaw Ants, the Deadwood Termites and the Nectarsting Bees.

Hunter

Welcome to Oberon’s Royal Garden! The few noblefey invited to visit this paradise can relish sightseeing the most beautiful and awe-inspiring invertebrates in the whole world, have fun betting for their favorite racer in the Arthropoda Derby or simply enjoy a stroll around these tastefully curated gardens.

And, of course, no one should miss the opportunity to watch the crown jewel, Gallan the Gorgeous, a magnificent beast of stunning plumage and colossal size. Capturing this monster and building its cage were both massively costly endeavors; but after watching it in all its glory, I’m sure you’ll agree it was well worth it.

Few things are more devastating for fairies and insects alike than fire, a destructive force that can easily engulf the forests they inhabit. However, there is a particular Mycropian known as Flamecaller Ember who learnt to master this dangerous element and become immune to its flames. This wasn’t an easy feat, though, as her body became surrounded by fire and her mind was completely consumed.

Unlike other pariahs of the Kingdom of Mycropia, Ember doesn’t hold a particular grudge against King Oberon. But make no mistake, if she gets angered, the few things able to escape the blazes she conjures will surely succumb to her army of elementals and dragonflies.

Perhaps, an even more perplexing case of eusociality is that of the Lightjaw Ants, which, despite their simple-mindedness, display a natural affinity to the Holy Light. There are many theories trying to explain this odd behavior, but the leading one is that their conviction to protect their Queen and expand their colony is akin to the faith of the most devout Paladin.

Priest

Polite, delicate and experts in all sorts of etiquette, the Nightglow lunar priestesses serve as both the religious and diplomatic elite of the Mycropian court.

They’re led by Moonspeaker Selunia, whose soft voice can alleviate even the tensest situations. In fact, her persuasive skills are so good she’s said to use mindbending spells to achieve the mysterious goals of the Nightglow.

Another discipline the Priestesses have mastered is taming butterflies and moths of all kinds. Reigning among them is Senulia's personal pet, an atlas moth known as Silverwind whose wingspan can put many birds to shame

One is safer in the battlefield than between the palace walls. ~ Mycropian adage.

With the absolute power Oberon holds, many ambitious fairies are willing to do whatever it takes to be as close to the monarch as they can. Complots, conspiracies and murders involving centipede poison are commonplace in this environment where you could be the top dog one day and be beheaded the very next one.

One of the strongest players of this political game is Lady Elytra, a relative newcomer who has gained a lot of power in a very short time, coinciding with the mysterious death of several important courtiers. Rumors say she’s actually a Rottenberry Undead plotting to assassinate the king himself, and that she hides her stench using floral fragrances. But, of course, that must be an ill-tongued rival envious of her position…

Clarification on Lady Elytra: Poisons with an effect that triggers when your hero attacks will instead trigger when the Assassins attack instead.

Welcome to the Murky Pond! Located in the vicinities of Mycropia, this unassuming spring hosts an incredibly diverse ecosystem where insects, Elementals, tiny Murlocs known as Sea Monkeys and other kinds of creatures coexist in harmony.

This harmony is far from peaceful, though, as creatures sport a hierarchy of prey and predator, in which the aberration known as Urpa, Terror of the Pond, reigns supreme.

Warlock

Our final case of study is the Deadwood Termites. These animals have developed eusociality in isolation, as they are more closely related to cockroaches than they are to ants or bees.

But, of course, their most defining trait is their seemingly infinite hunger, as they will consume whatever gets in their path like an unstoppable force. In fact, the war they wage against the Lightjaw Ants might be our only saving grace: if this delicate balance was to be broken and either of them emerged victorious, Mycropia, even in all its might, would not stand a chance.

Warrior

Masters of their craft, the Artisan Fairies are highly valued by Oberon's court, as their fine weapons are key to maintaining Mycropia's military supremacy. Some of them, however, are secretly against the regime and use their privileged position to smuggle their fine creations to opposing factions.

The most predominant of these is the Shapbranch Militia, a group of scarab-riding freedom fighters led by the fierce Captain Koleos. It's said that, when battling in their forest, not even the whole Mycropian army could defeat them...

    Two weeks had passed since Reno met the Mycropians and his epic diplomatic skills had already put him in jail and caused a civil war. But, perhaps more perplexing, was the fact that back then he had twice the size of an average fairy and now he was half their stature.

    He then lost the track of time. Soon, his signature mustache had become a dense beard and he was as small to a Mycropian as a Mycropian was to a regular human. Able to simply walk out of his prison cell, Reno understood that his fate was to keep getting smaller and smaller…

    Welcome to Infinitesimal and Beyond, a Miniset in the truest sense of the word! Join Reno Jackson in this incredible journey where he’ll meet truly tiny fauna, unicellular beings and even the fundamental particles that give shape to the universe!

    Hey, really glad to see this finally posted here! Maybe tomorrow we might see some parallels to the Emerald Dream set and this one?

    After that set is announced, I might give a more thorough feedback post. The only thing I'll say now is that Black Widow looks quite weak compared to Sinrunner.

    The mini-set Infinitesimal and Beyond is published! I know it's bad timing with the announcement of the next expansion, but I wanted to finish the whole thing, as I've been working on it quite a while, with the help of the wonderful people in the Custom Hearthstone Discord.

    Hope you guys like it ^^

    Hey! I'm happy to publish this here to be honest. I really miss the comps here, giving feedback was always the most fun part for me and I really miss that (although I don't know if I'd had the time for it nowadays)

    Not many similarities with the new set, though, except for The Quantum Length from the Mini-set and the new Aviana card. Regarding what you point out about Black Widow, I've given her Taunt and +1 Health. Not sure if that'll be enough.

    BTW, I checked out your Gladiators set and it's really good. I'll try giving it feedback when I can.

    Now that we've finally seen the full set for Into the Emerald Dream, I'm even more proud of this set than I was before because a lot of the set it kinda mid and weird. I unironically enjoy your set better than the one we actually got.

    I'm still not in the greatest position to do a huge feedback post because I'm in the middling of settling into a new place, but once that's done, I know I'll be coming back here to do a much bigger review post.

    Thanks a lot! I'm glad you enjoyed my expansion so much!

    And don't worry about feedback, first things first :)
