I present you... the stupidest card i've ever made:
Yes. You read it right. He always gives you completely useless cards for the situation (as much as possible). And just like Zephrys the Great he discovers from the basic set.
Because Questline Hunter got nearly gutted. Rapid Fire was the best card in the entire deck. Now it costs double and it's even, so you either dont run it anymore in Odd Questline, or you try the non odd version which is significantly less burst, as the hero power only deals 2.
Any combo mage is gone, so all the slow controlish decks with no combo counter can crawl out of the pit. Mainly Big Priest who can handle warrior pretty well.
With Druid (mechathun and cthun), Shaman (shuddereock), and Warlock (even/giants/reno) we might get the first slow meta ever. These 3 classes were near the top before, now have no opposition from their biggest counters.
So i came up with 2 new ideas, and i dropped Ring of Purity and Ring of Strength due to feedback.
Prince's Ring basically lets you automatically summon a 1/1 as a target for spells, letting you always have a way to play them. A Blessing of Kings will summon a 5/5.
Lute of Divinity is for buff priest, an archetype i dearly love but always sucked, no matter how many seemingly op cards it got. Perhaps a free recast of your spells would make it decent.
I don't get the Brann one. His whole deal was battle cries, his hero power gives you a Brann for free. How does a deathrattle beast generator fit with that?
Well since Blizzard was incapable of managing it's own games, letting WoW, Diablo, Overwatch and HotS decay like they have, perhaps this is a change that will offer some improvement to us the players.
However the fact they mentioned mobile specifically makes me slightly worried. Because, do you guys not have phones?
Woo the time has finally come! Now watch me fail at my own comp idea :D
Ring of Purity was the first thing that came to mind. The jist of it is that it basically lets you "cleanse" bad effects like freeze or 'attack set to 1' from your minions without making you unable to buff them. It also lets you easily silence enemy minions, albeit by healing them slightly. Would play greatly into the buff priest fantasy and maybe make silence decks viable.
Saint's Skull is hopefully easy to understand. You cast lets say Power Word: Shield on an enemy minion. The weapon triggers and you get a discover screen with Power Word: Shield and two other spells of the same cost, lets say Holy Smite and Mind Vision. If you chose Holy Smite, instead of casting Power Word: Shield you cast Holy Smite on said minion. If you choose [Hearthstone Card (Mind Visions) Not Found], you play [Hearthstone Card (Mind Visions) Not Found] instead. The point of this is giving you great flexibility with your spells by offering unique new choices, if what you have is not necessarily for your taste. You can "re-roll" spells basically.
Ring of Strength is a nod to Titanic Strength in WoW. Thematically, you just carry more and more weapons in your hands xD. Weapon effects don't transfer, only the stats.

Play locket. Antonidas, Apprentice, Apprentice, Molten Reflections. What made Pocket Galaxy ok was the fact it was usually drawn after you drew half your deck, so it rarely affected all the combo pieces you wanted. This makes getting the minions before the discount source ok. I'm not sure you can balance this without allowing some big OP combo to happen. If you wanna do teleportation, what about a Big Mage style thing, like how Big paladin and warrior function. Recruiting i mean.

I like Red Grimoire, though the wording feels a bit off somehow. Horn of Cenarius is probably too OP. Not that hard to get a fresh wave of Wisps after Wisps each turn. Weapon removal is not something everyone runs, but they will for this.
AeroJulwin
Really cool idea, i dig it. Though perhaps something like "Each turn Discover a new spell. After your hero attacks, cast it." would be cleaner.

Gaze of the Void is interesting, and kinda strange. I know Discard Warlock traditionally flood the board with stuff, but when i hear 1/3 Voidwalker with Taunt i can't help but think of control, and this card doesn't fit well in control. Might be just me though, it seems decently balanced. Maybe 3 durability instead of 4.
Orb of Dominion on the other hand seems super weak to me. It's essentially a stranger Mirror Entity or Explosive Rune. Suffers from the same issues of getting beaten by small minions, but without the bonus of doing face damage or getting a big thing (at best you get a very injured copy). And it lacks the surprise factor secrets have. And gets destroyed by weapon removal. Yeah, idk. Effect is in theme for priest by gameplay wise it's a big ol 5 mana do nothing.
English is indeed very inconsistent. But the general consensus is always Gif then some stubborn person shows up, says it's Jif, and a debate sparks up. Plus Gif is consistent with G from graphics, so at least it strives for consistence.
Geography and giraffe comes from french as borrowed words and thus copy the french pronunciation. Gin is a shortening of genever which comes from dutch which comes from old french too (genevre), which is itself a translation of the latin juniper.
If you love the french so much i'll await your white flag.
Hey Flux you gonna go watch Juardians of the Jalaxy later on? Hope you get many jifts for your birthday. You jonna jo home then, pet your jolden retriever, feed your jolden fish? Jrab some jarlic bread, eat it with jround beef!?
I'm very happy my faction won, though i won't lie, Drek is the better legendary of the two and would have been the better option for the diamond treatment.
3 ideas for this! Buried in Ice is probably gonna get hated because people hate freeze mage and frost in general (hello shaman). Cover Fire might be broken with the quest, but i envision since it's only 1 spell only the first time it deals damage counts. Pacifism is my favorite but might not be everyone's flavor.
Well, satyr and dreams make me think of a Pan figure. Not sure if this is too op, you have to "sacrifice" a minion for 2 turns to get it going but it might allow for some OP combo idk. Druid man, always some combo around the corner, almost as bad as warlock.
First 2 ideas. I wanted Equilibrium to also do a little damage or a little healing but there wasn't enough space for that. Anyway, i do feel Kirin Tor Prodigy is better and cooler. Little neat effects that when stacked up after one of those classic mage-plays-15-cards-in-a-turn turns are the cherry on top for a wild display of magic.
Alright, cleared up the card text and found a new name for it. I am perfectly aware this gets harder to play as you play more cards, that's the intent. To provide a challenging mini-puzzle that can offer amazing card draw if you plan accordingly.

Like link said, Roame is connected to Cariel and Tamsin, unless you mean this to be another member of her family. Effect is good, balance might be not. I think it might work better as an aura, increasing their cost by 2 but making all spells you play discover other spells. A little chain effect like Instructor Fireheart or Lyra the Sunshard
doingtheobious
I like it, can be a big finisher like Mordresh Fire Eye. there might be a bit too much overlap with his effect and this.
DestroyerR
I like the concept but the balancing is way off. Enemy could easily just kill this a bunch of time just to make everything in your hand cost 10 and fuck with you, locking you out of the game. If you want an immortal minion perhaps something akin to Greybough but for spells in your hand could work. Spell costs more but resummons this maybe bigger each time.
BloodmeFist
Love how this ties with the flavor of the new priest hero. Balance wise, i think it's fine. 2 mana but for only 1 spell school doesn't arise any big problems in my head. Yeah you could do some Bless/Divine Spirit thing, but aMind Blast/Vivid Nightmare/Prophet Velen is also possible so both schools are busted kinda. For 4 mana you can just drop 2 elementals making this the same thing, just slightly easier. Seems alright.
linkblade91
I don't think it's right to have something unplayable unless you have 2 very specific cards.
Wailor
Flavor is spot on (haha!). I think perhaps making the next card you play cost more by the excess damage is better. Cause then you're forced to deal with the drawback right away. Making whole hand cost more is too much and conflicting with the quest we got in that xpansion.

Are these a bundle or individual skins, do we know? I'd love that Xuen skin but i don't wanna pay for 5 others i won't use.
Oh. Idk why i read it generated beasts like a beast version of Djin
I don't get the Brann one. His whole deal was battle cries, his hero power gives you a Brann for free. How does a deathrattle beast generator fit with that?

...what!? I won!? :o
Well i certainly didn't expect that. The one week i post on a whim last minute with no feedback and i did it at last haha! Thanks everyone!
Scion Set
Hunting Theme:
These 3 are considered "Prey" and function similarly to Treants or Animal companions. The pool can expand with new expansions.
Fire Magic:
Positioning and Agility:
Diverse cards:
This is a work in progress. I'll edit and update this during the following days. Any feedback is welcomed and gladly appreciated!
