I got mine a long way back, around 2006. A friend of mine used the name Fedrion as his DnD Human rogue alias, after our 4th DnD night his character died and he was looking for a name for a Paladin to join the party again, he couldn't made his mind and I said "Hertzeid or something like that, German sounding paladin" he liked the idea and used the name I came up.
He did impressive, his dice were on fire and his freaking paladin was critting every single time... But after that night he left the game and moved to another country with his mother.
So I've been Fedrion Hertzeid / Fedrion / Hertzeid in every game since then, except when I created my second LoL account named "MeatPancake" to break a friends win streak.
Didn't have deck tracker on (last game before going to work), but I faced an Elemental Quest mage, that got insane turns... The Animated Avalanche turn was pretty solid for him, since Mountain Giant was the turn before and I couldn't really deal with it (was playing Quest Embiggen Beast Druid, not really that great...), so it was really game breaking.
As stated... 4 mana 2/3? Yeah... Warlock, but you have to wait till turn 10 and have a lackey in hand to fill the board AND have played Dark Pharaoh Tekahn previously, if not, semi-dead turn.
It will be an interesting card, hell, it already is, but... I really think it won't shine as much unless it's in a controlish Warlock deck, or a hyper aggressive zoolock that doesn't depend on this as a win condition.
I can be totally wrong, but only in the right circumstances this will shine.
Solid 4/5 tough for design + not being completely bonkers in stats.
Amazing job as always! I'm a lore addict, so every Traversing Azeroth is gold for me.
Now for the next one earth elementals! I feel like Stonemother Therazane and her "family" are the most interesting of them all, just becauses not a lot is known about them.
Maybe a Scarlet Crusade/Onslaught sometime in the future? I loved~hated them when I played wow.
When I first read it, I thought "Curse of Rafaam", then finished reading... I want this without the "Playable" part... It's not really a great effect considering the RNG fiesta that Hearthstone is... I would bet that if "playable" weren't in the text, I would normally hit either Coin or a combo finisher card...
I have to wonder because the text does not specify, does it mean any 2 drop minion or just neutrals? Cause this could swing any which way imagine-able if it's any 2 drop minion.
I would bet for the classic discover mechanic, discover a 2 drop neutral/class specific with reduced chance.
What bothers me it's the wording... If High Priest Amet is in play, the minion summoned would first gain +3 health, then be raised/downed to Amet's health.
I mean, I don't have Amet, and hate to play against priest right now (feels like wild is in standard), but the wording makes it look like it's not worth it in a OTK DS/HF deck with Amet.
I don't think the HP would be too game changing, I mean the Galakronds aren't really that game changing, so neither should the League's.
If the battlecry erase every minion in the game (board-graveyard[don't even think such a thing can be done in HS]-deck-hand), then it's the perfect Spell Mage card, and should be accompanied by a HP much like the quest one.
If not, even the normal HP "Deal 1", would be fine considering all the ways mage has to clear/stall the board state.
If they really wanted to fix this, they should have extended the nerf to ANY cards that CAN generate themselves.
Having it on just one card feels incredibly clumsy, and absolutely counterintuitive with how RNG has ALWAYS worked in HS.
The Draconic Lackey part it's nonsense, why if you are "discovering" a dragon, not be able to get a pool of well... random dragons? He doesn't give you a Draconic Lackey, because it isn't a collectible neither a dragon, so...
And Dragonqueen Alexstrasza not being able to generate copies of itself is like Archivist Elysiana not being able to give copies of herself, all discover cards should be like that, because you're not looking for the same card (unless you are a combo/miracle that can benefit from it), technically you're looking for something situational, that's why you're discovering it now and not adding said card in the deck in the first place.
Very well written and clearly it shows that you are the father of OoC, because you talk to it like it's you son, and that Flux, it's amazing!
To everyone in the team, content creators, moderators, developers and you Flux, you guys made the best Hearthstone site, and soon enough you'll make the best card game site.
Really proud of all of you!
If only the dollar wasn't so high in my country I would support you, since I can't, I disable ADBlock when I enter the site, lol.
So far so good, not perfect winrate, but a solid 56% winrate in 60 games, also, gladly I'm not facing so many shamans... Worth noting, I'm low rank, 15 to be honest, and 10 of the games were in casual for testing, but I feel pleased with the deck right now.
Next:

The Animated Avalanche turn was pretty solid for him, since Mountain Giant was the turn before and I couldn't really deal with it (was playing Quest Embiggen Beast Druid, not really that great...), so it was really game breaking.
Next turn played a 1 mana Mana Giant plus Flamestrike and SMORCed me badly.
All this by turn 8, so... Strong AF, but IMO really draw dependant, he played 2 Arcane Intellect and that gave him the ability to play Mountain Giant, plus turn 4 Sorcerer's Apprentice + Coin + AI + [Hearthstone Card (Elemental Invocation) Not Found] + Magic Trick + Arcane Missiles + Elemental Allies + Mana Cyclone...
I'm gonna try that deck when I get home.
As I try to combo it in my mind:
Righteous Cause on turn 5/6 with the last mana available.
Trying to get at least 1/2 minions to survive on the board by turn seven, then HP + Air Raidx2?
7 mana 10/10 in stats divided in 5 minions + whatever else was on the board from previous turns.
Seems solid... Not OP, just solid.
It'll not really see much play until rotation, and even then I have doubts.
TBH, it's a perfectly fair card, removal effect paired with a solid body for it's mana cost... And that's why it will not be played.
I see it in "Embiggen Sidequest Beast Druid".
Imagine this with +2/+2 from Embiggen cheated out (in let's say turn 5/6) with Strength in Numbers.
Or to just cut the RNG factor as Nightmare stated Stampeding Roar or Witching Hour...
Amazing in a control/big druid archetype.
As stated... 4 mana 2/3? Yeah... Warlock, but you have to wait till turn 10 and have a lackey in hand to fill the board AND have played Dark Pharaoh Tekahn previously, if not, semi-dead turn.

This in Quest Dragon Paladin.
Dragonrider Talritha + Da Undatakah + Immortal Prelate?
Slow af deck, but if the combo makes it... Who can stop you?
A silence? HA!
When I first read it, I thought "Curse of Rafaam", then finished reading... I want this without the "Playable" part... It's not really a great effect considering the RNG fiesta that Hearthstone is... I would bet that if "playable" weren't in the text, I would normally hit either Coin or a combo finisher card...
Now I know I'm gonna hit coin 90% of the time.
I would bet for the classic discover mechanic, discover a 2 drop neutral/class specific with reduced chance.
What bothers me it's the wording... If High Priest Amet is in play, the minion summoned would first gain +3 health, then be raised/downed to Amet's health.

And save the world?
'Bout time they acknowledged the fluffiness! Now... They should give you guys a card reveal!

At least, that's how I see it.

Seems solid.
Any replacement for Tess Greymane? Ironically, it's the only card I'm missing... lol
Happy Holidays to all of you awesome people!
