Still looking but as of right now im realy out of ideas and i'm sureley not prepared to click trough every card page ;)
Edit: Found the Valeera one ;)
Edit 2: Also found the Winning Party :)
Edit 3: Well still missing Avengers and Broken Glass - no idea even tough with some other clues from other members! clicked lots of different pages and cards - tried to find something that could be it (also thought i've found the avengers one but it wasn't it)
Edit 4: Finaly found the Avengers / Crossover one - only Broken Glass is missing and i do not play Runeterra so this one is the hardest one for me!
Well I've got 5 so far but for the rest i have absolutely no clue !! Edit: found 6 clues now :)
Got one of the Runeterra clues even tough i do not play Runeterra :)
The Clue about the avengers crossover and the spooky rumor about dying before finishing is driving me crazy because i can not think of anything that would suit this!!! Also thought i had the clue for the Winning Party but it was not what i was thinking ...
Also the Runeterra Clue with the Broken Glass .... pretty hard - at least for me :)
Even tough i do not have that big of a problem about the WoW/Hearthstone Lore i agree that they could have made some sort of Info Box Pop up if you look at the Merc or maybe they could have added some sort of Info Box in the Merc Collection were you level up abilities etc.
Also would be kinda nice to know from which merc i've got an extra portrait without clicking on every single one of them.
Well, isn't almost any new game that comes out now something we've seen before?
Sure maybe some new features or a different kind of interface etc. but most games at least the same type of games always will be similar?
For example - there are lots of MMORPG out there - one of the big MMO Pioneers is World of Warcraft - and lots of other games that came after that like Age of Conan for example looked a lot like WoW and had other parts that we're similar to WoW.
Shooter Games - sure , story mode (if there is one) is usualy one of a kind but mostly not that long - and if you compare the Multiplayer it always will be the same with the exception of different kind of weapons, abilties etc.
Same goes for Mercenaries - it is some kind of round-based RPG with WoW/Hearthstone Lore. And sureley there are lots of other round-based RPG's out there like the mentioned Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest etc.
Most of the Companys who make games use some sort of templates from different games and try to make them different/better or a new improved version. At least now in the time we are in there is not a single game i can think of who has a completely new approach and is different from everything else. Sure there are some new games who took a different approach and are pretty good and fun or hat some new ideas but still - for almost every game there was some sort of predecessor because there are so many games out there i think it will be impossible to create something new that hasn't already been made.
So i personaly do not think they screwed it up - but that's just my opinion!
Similar designs, so it's a question of preference. Armor gain is usually more expensive and harder to achieve than simply dealing damage with Nature spells, so Zuluhed should cost more than Deathwing Lord Prestor. I personally lean more toward Zuluhed because I want to give a win condition to Dragon Shaman, although the numbers still need tweaking.
If you're curious, "Zuluhed the Whacked" is an actual character, leader of the Dragonmaw clan and even makes an appearance in Gul'dan's Book of Heroes. The weapon is made up, though. Lord Prestor is Deathwing's human form, like Onyxia/Lady Prestor, so I gave them the same statline.
maybe im wrong because im not that good at giving Feedback but shouldnt the first card leave out "the" after equip?
So it would read "If all minions in your deck are Dragons, equip Mace of the Destroyer"
Also - here is my first idea:
Edit: Added the (rounded up) text so i do not have the "stats." as an orphan at the end of the sentence.
Also thought about making the attack random enemies into random characters?? And also not sure about the Mana Cost - had it at 5 first but that seemed a little to cheap for the effect.
Even tough im not that familiar with the new Mercenaries mode (at least now - will defenitely try it out at release) i just looked up Lich King and Diablo and my personal preference would be Diablo.
Well i can only speak for standard because i do not play wild but right now im still having lots of fun. But i also had fun before the nerfs even tough i ran into the same deck over and over ;)
Since the nerfs i've met a diversity of decks (and also played different decks) and almost all of the games we're pretty fun.
Also since the nerfs i quite enjoy Questline Warrior - played it from Plat 10 to Diamond 5.
Hit lvl 100 a few days ago - picked the Jaina Skin even tough right now i prefer my Lady Prestor Skin for most of my mage decks but i liked it. Right now im at lvl 108 grinding for a few achievements.
Ah , im so happy right now because i finaly Got the "Broadside!" Achievement where you have to kill your Opponent with the Juggernaut. Have been trying for days to do that. Had it set up like 10 times but most of the time the opponent concedes - but not this time.
My opponent even emoted Well Played and let me finish him off with the Juggernaut - i was so happy and also made a new Online Friend because i added him to say thank you and he was realy nice :)
Also i just wanted to say i realy do not share all the Meta Hate right now - i'm having so much fun playing all different kinds of decks (mostly Quest Warrior because of the Achievement) and i have began the climb with Rat King Hunter and played it to Gold 10 - switched to Quest Warrior and played it to Platinum 8 so far.
Yep - most of the time the opponent concedes before you could hit for the Achievement - same here for the achievement where you have to kill with the Juggernaut Cannons. Had it set up like 3 times now but the opponent concedes before the Juggernaut shoots.
Sure they can concede if they want to - but sometimes it would be nice if someone would recognize that the other one maybe does this for an achievement and let them hit but i guess most people do not care about that.
So yeah, people who try for achievements like this will have to grind and find an opponent who will let them do it.
Well so far i've only met 1 Mage since the nerfs and he coined Incanters on 2 and got the whole Questline Done by 6 - so i guess if you have the nuts draw it is still pretty fast/good otherwise i guess decent enough to try.
Mostly i ran into Warlocks right now (different builds) but all of them Quest - im playing Elemental Shaman right now and so far i've won against every single Warlock i faced.
Met some Paladins - all of them Handbuff except one which was Quest. If i would make a Percentage List about every class and how much of them i've encountered i guess it would kinda look like this:
Warlock - 35 %
Paladin - 25 %
Shaman - 10 %
Druid - 10 %
Hunter 8 %
Demon Hunter - 5 %
Rogue - 4 %
Mage - 2 %
Warrior - 1%
Priest - 0 % (havent met a single Priest on the Ladder this Week so far)
That`s kinda what i face this week so far - not exact numbers but i kinda rounded up and tried to memorize which decks i've met. And thats only my personal experience - im not saying that is the official list on Which class gets played who often :)
There's a guide that basically goes through it on the deck, but the basic idea is that you shuffle a ton of Persistent Peddlers into your deck, and eventually they end up costing 0. Despite costing 0, drawing them after completing the questline still counts as a 2-mana discount for the sake of completing achievements.
The wild meta means you won't always have a productive match up for this deck, but when you do you can really grind through every achievement quickly. Also, this deck (obviously) loses a lot of games, so be sure to be at a ranked floor.
Thanks , was looking for an idea about the Peddlers :)
I did the Lion Frenzy Achievement "Drawing Frenzy" pretty easy in Wild - just build a deck with Lions Frenzy and Attack buff cards + draw. You also realy don't need Inner Demon (+8 Attack Card) - some Furys and other Attack Buffs + draw should get you an pretty easy 10+ Attack Lions Frenzy.
No not Ill'gynoth ... i realy liked the card and also Liked playing OTK Demon Hunter - not sure if it could survive the nerf - maybe against realy slow decks and in combination with quest if you can discount the right cards it could still work but i guess i will be way slower and worse than before. Kinda sad for me because i realy like the card. Will try Shenanigans with Jace i guess and play a Fel Deck.
Other Nerfs look decent - Kolkar Pack Runner Nerf is good also is Incanter's Floweven tough im not sure that this could realy slow down Mage - all that much - also wasn't even that prevelant right now.
What surprises me most is that lStealer of Souls didn't get hit - sure they hit Flesh Giant and Darkglare but i guess we will have to wait and see what the nerfs will change in the meta. Flesh Giant Nerf i kinda thought it would go up to 10 Mana ...
Hopefully Quest Rogue and Quest Warrior will be seen more often because i like those.
Also the Nerf to Conviction (Rank 1) and Battleground Battlemaster are decent but it makes the cards still ok - at least conviction - even tough it messes up my Quest Paladin a little :)
The Nerf to Granite Forgeborn is not that hard and it still will see play.
Overall i would say - decent nerfs but kinda surprised with some.
Im missing 4 :
Endgame Crossover
Winning Party
Valeera Bag
Broken Glass
Still looking but as of right now im realy out of ideas and i'm sureley not prepared to click trough every card page ;)
Edit: Found the Valeera one ;)
Edit 2: Also found the Winning Party :)
Edit 3: Well still missing Avengers and Broken Glass - no idea even tough with some other clues from other members! clicked lots of different pages and cards - tried to find something that could be it (also thought i've found the avengers one but it wasn't it)
Edit 4: Finaly found the Avengers / Crossover one - only Broken Glass is missing and i do not play Runeterra so this one is the hardest one for me!
Thanks, the Spooky one helped but still no clue about the other one :) - i'll keep looking and thinking
Well I've got 5 so far but for the rest i have absolutely no clue !! Edit: found 6 clues now :)
Got one of the Runeterra clues even tough i do not play Runeterra :)
The Clue about the avengers crossover and the spooky rumor about dying before finishing is driving me crazy because i can not think of anything that would suit this!!! Also thought i had the clue for the Winning Party but it was not what i was thinking ...
Also the Runeterra Clue with the Broken Glass .... pretty hard - at least for me :)
But still fun!
Searching for the clues is pretty fun alltough some of them seem pretty hard ... found 4 so far :)
Even tough i do not have that big of a problem about the WoW/Hearthstone Lore i agree that they could have made some sort of Info Box Pop up if you look at the Merc or maybe they could have added some sort of Info Box in the Merc Collection were you level up abilities etc.

A little sad that i did not made it to the finals but one day i will see one of my cards in the finalist voting phase :)
Congratz to the Winners!
Well so far i realy like it. Only bought the Welcome Bundle and the rest , at least till now i`m playing it F2P.
Had to read and learn how the Game Mode works but once you get the hang of it , it is pretty fun - at least to me :).
Hope that this enjoyment will last and that the mode will get even bigger / better.
Here is my first idea:
Also thought about making the attack random enemies into random characters?? And also not sure about the Mana Cost - had it at 5 first but that seemed a little to cheap for the effect.
Even tough im not that familiar with the new Mercenaries mode (at least now - will defenitely try it out at release) i just looked up Lich King and Diablo and my personal preference would be Diablo.
Just one question about the Flavour of the Brewfest !
The Flavour should be something for a Party (like getting or giving Gifts and Drinks) , getting Drunk (starting fights or do something stupid) etc ?
is that correct? just wanted to know before i try to make a card :)
Well i can only speak for standard because i do not play wild but right now im still having lots of fun. But i also had fun before the nerfs even tough i ran into the same deck over and over ;)
Since the nerfs i've met a diversity of decks (and also played different decks) and almost all of the games we're pretty fun.
Also since the nerfs i quite enjoy Questline Warrior - played it from Plat 10 to Diamond 5.
So i for myself have fun :)
Hit lvl 100 a few days ago - picked the Jaina Skin even tough right now i prefer my Lady Prestor Skin for most of my mage decks but i liked it. Right now im at lvl 108 grinding for a few achievements.
Realy liked this Book of Mercenaries Chapter - even tough Fight Number 7

I did the Lion Frenzy Achievement "Drawing Frenzy" pretty easy in Wild - just build a deck with Lions Frenzy and Attack buff cards + draw. You also realy don't need Inner Demon (+8 Attack Card) - some Furys and other Attack Buffs + draw should get you an pretty easy 10+ Attack Lions Frenzy.
