Sunset at Westfall - Custom Hearthstone Expansion (WIP)

Submitted 3 years, 4 months ago by

The once decaying region of Westfall is now flooded with people of all sorts and a large stream of stagecoaches that travels busily around the land. The reason? Gold, of course!

This sudden gold rush has attracted a lot of greedy visitors, including some gun-wielding outlaws. This is something the authorities of Stormwind cannot tolerate, so they have sent their fastest gunslingers to serve as sheriffs and deputies. Introducing the new keyword...

This keyword is a combination of MtG's First Strike and Ranged, which I translated into Hearthstone the best I could. The expansion itself is largely inspired by the board game Bang!, combined with Mean Streets of Gatgetzan's motto of taking a WoW location and combining it with a theme that wouldn't fit Azeroth at first glance.

    Disclaimer: This expansion is still in a very early stage. Some artworks are awfully bad and certain cards might not be balanced or present a faulty concept in the first place. Feedback is very welcome, no matter if it's about balance, grammar or artwork.

    One of my main focuses was flavor, so if you don't understand some of them, I'd also like to know in order to make it more clear :)

    Finally, I'd like to ask how to create a custom watermark, like the Sun mark Demonxz95 used for their space expansion.

    http://www.hearthcards.net/setsandclasses/#3875-%3E%3E%3EEmblems-

    Check out this link. Click on a card to get its code.

    If you see a watermark you want, then you type that watermark's code into your card's textbox to get that one onto the card. It is important that you don't add line breaks or spaces for the code.

    Some of them appear to have been deleted from the set page, but their codes will still work. For the sun watermark in Liftoff!, I typed the code {{EMBLEM=custom35}} into the textbox of each card I made.

    I like the keyword. Simple, but also original. And seems to fit the theme.

    The cards seem pretty balanced, although Sheriff McCree, Thunderbolt and Pumpkin Season seems a bit on the weak side.

    I've just discovered there's another expansion with the same theme as this one called Gunslingers of Westfall, which was published 10 months ago on this site.

    Besides the setting (which is basically the same), there are many other similarities like the name of my keyword appearing on the title or the fact they also have a 2/6 minion that summons a Harvest Golem via Deathrattle.

    I guess I'll keep working on my version and try to look at theirs as little as possible just to avoid being influenced.

     

    (I've just posted a bunch of cards, in case you wanna check them out. I also added a version log in my first post under the OP).
