    Thank you for looking through the whole thing, it's a lot to take in so I appreciate the time!

    I wanted to tell a story with the art and design of the set, an overabundance of tropes and references would've weakened that in this case. I still did slip in a few, Red Giant being one of the first tongue in cheek designs I made. Was definitely neat trying to find the balance between Hearthstone wackiness and serious world building.

    I'll try and hop in on more card competitions, I usually see them and then get distracted with work or what have you.

    Thanks for the showcase! I had fun making the set and it's great to get the chance to share it :)

    Well although it's a couple months after I shared it, my big custom drawn expansion flew under everyone's radar, might be a good one to showcase and I'd like to see a couple more eyes on it.

    I'm surprised there has been a drought as well, what's the procedure for finding new community spotlights like nowadays? I remember being invited back when I made my old Dawn of Desolation set, no clue how it works now.

    Seeing the Scourge Bru'kan skin upcoming broke my little heart, give the old guy a break.

    I'm all for devs making good money, but Snap is definitely extremely expensive and there's no chance most of that is going to the developers.

    Ah cool! I have it posted here but it hasn't gained much traction anywhere, probably because I released it at a dead hour.

    Pilgrimage through the Cosmos is a 145 card custom expansion set within the Great Dark Beyond. Follow Velen and the Vindicaar in this alternate take on the journey from Azeroth to the ancestral homeworld of the Draenei, Argus.

    Art for the set was created by me! It's not very good as I'm not much of an artist and each piece was created under a strict(ish) time limit. With that in mind, I think the custom art really ties the world together in a rather unique way. I began drawing for the set on November 5th, with most non-Legendary cards being limited to 20 minutes of work with Legendaries and special cards usually taking around 30.

    With that preamble out of the way, here's the set! I hope you find the cards interesting, or at least have fun looking at the art!

    Dazzling Legendaries!

    Velen remembers the first spell you've cast in the game, make sure it's a good one!Kiljaedan will stop at nothingLyra will distill you to your purest form

    They still have super high quality ones like Cooking Reno, but the quality has gone down overall because now skins are ranked.

    Title essentially

    With all this hub bub around DKs potential introduction into the game I wanted to posit my theory, since they'd need extra cards to start them on their journey. What better way to introduce their mechanics and connection to each class than via dual class cards? Flavor wise this could be presented as the other classes being corrupted and turned undead!

    Curious on anyone's thoughts.

    P.S. I still think there's a small chance that this has all been a red herring and we get Evokers next expansion

    I think I'm missing the joke about "finishers", what happened with that?

    Crazy effort and a ton of cool designs, power level seems high even for today but that doesn't matter too much for Custom cards. I too would love to see some more C'thun love. Super creative and a really fun looking set!

    😍😍Mariner Maiev 😍😍

     

    Seriously though, I've been loving the art direction for this expansion. Everything has fit perfectly into the theme and all the interconnected art pieces have been great.

    His flavor text is "Cownonball!"

    Which is 100x worse than Cannonbull

    No chance for Recruit to come back, it's way too uninteresting and can easily be utilized without utilizing the keyword, as your examples have shown.

    I'm thinking Magnetic and Reborn could both be up for the running though, Spellburst is also my number one pick, it's a fantastic mechanic.

    I'm gonna miss Darkmoon, definitely one of my favorite sets of all time, Corrupt is still probably my favorite keyword, I remember being bummed out by multiple buffs because they'd ruin Corrupt synergies. (RIP Clown Warrior and Mage😔)

    I mean, you said it yourself, it won't be amazing since it's an 8 Mana card without Rush or Taunt. That isn't a fact aside from powercreep, it's a fact because of powercreep, this card not only prevents fatigue but it also refills your deck with absurdly high value cards. If any type of grindy deck existed this would make that the most powerful deck in the game.

    But there is no deck like that, since late game in Hearthstone has moved away from value into tempo, play swing, answer swing etc. Feels like every deck is token Druid where if you can't keep up for one turn or clear the board for one turn you lose immediately.

    This card is super sick, don't get me wrong.

    But I kinda hate that we're at a power level where they can print a faaaaaar better Archivist Elysiana and it probably won't break the meta game.
