Will see alot of play as far as I can tell, maybe in wild you’d prefer murmy or something, probably not though.
Runeforging:
If death knight receives good weapons this will see play, simple.
Chillfallen baron:
Nice card, draws 2, contests the board, leaves a corpse, also is the only non frost rune generic card draw so far I’m pretty sure
Malignant horror:
I don’t like this card right now, unless death knight gets alot of corpse generation I don’t see them wasting 5 of them on a subpar body that’ll keep robbing them of corpses. Atleast if your opponent full clears it it’ll have only cost you one corpse I guess
Corpse bride:
Atleast when compared to malignant horror this ones pretty nice, 5 corpses for a 5/5 versus 5 for a 2/4 reborn, personally I think the extra cost is a worthy tradeoff here as atleast your actually generating threats here.
Either way I’d like to see more cards that net you multiple corpses or I’m gonna start believing we’re expected to run ram commander and maybe even reef walker and grim necromancer in at least every unholy build maybe even in other runes aswell.
Edit: since grim necromancer is undead and so are her skeletons she might not actually be that bad, still would like for something more interesting.
Also as for anti magic shell, I think it’s comparable to the robes from scholomance this is permanent and doesn’t rely on your opponent not having 4 damage worth of minions, but this probably feels worse to tempo and right now I’m not actually sold on unholy blood’s ability to generate corpses yet.
I really don’t see frostmourne making it, a 7 mana for a 5/3 weapon just isn’t really worth it, paladin had libram of judgement a card that is incredibly easy to discount to 4-5 mana and had what in my opinion is a more practical upside and never really made the cut from what I recall.
Maybe it makes it in triple blood if it gets enough healing to facilitate it, it probably would be like if gorehowl vometed a board when you were done with it, but I don’t know when the last time that thing saw play was and I don’t think an upside in 3 turns is what it needed, But maybe it’s possible this makes it for an expansion maybe post rotation
I mean the card wasn’t bad, there just wasn’t much support for it as there just isn’t alot of generic frost spells. Still surprising though. I’ll miss playing this in bad pure frost decks in casual though.
In Rarran's video today with Celestalon, specifically the section about the revealed cards Celestalon mentioned some things about the development of some of the recently revealed cards here are some that I found interesting
Sunfury Stalwart was originally a 6/8 but didn't have rush (presumably changed as a buff)
Invincible was originally (or at some point) 7 mana (Nerfed)
There is some specific ordering in place for dual tribal tags (all that was specifically mentioned is that undead goes first)
Scourge Rager was originally a 5/5 but apparently was "too OP" (I guess there's a rallyesque card this expansion that it's really good with)
He pretty much confirmed fire warrior (when talking about embers of strength)
Not particularly notable but apparently corpse explosion's rarity was changed last minute (was an epic I'd guess)
Vampiric blood was considered to be nerfed to 3 mana late in balancing but wasn't
Happy to see another card to tutor Hammer, probably not enough to experiment with blacksmithing warrior again right now since Mr. Smite is still at 7 and there still isn’t a comparable finisher for the deck.
It is still really nice for the deck, though.
As for the other 2, well I personally think dirty rat is still better than called to stand, but rat isn’t in standard so this’ll still see alot of play in standard. Theotar might still hurt it’s playrate though, since it he is so strong.
The 5 mana guy is nice but it is surprising how underwhelming a mana 8/8 taunt feels (looking at you morshan elite) this does have an easier condition though and is all in one
Absolutely unplayable if you get it off fires of zin-ashari, unless you also got a nomi or something off it.
Ignoring that, it seems like a powerful tech card against ql priest, sunken cards, ambassador faelin, kazakusan, shuffle rogue, bomb warrior, academic espionage burgle rogue shenanigans, c’thun the shattered and maybe mill rogue if your opponent leaves himself open to it and is probably annoying for decks running soul shards
The set of spellstones I made as a what if DH was around during K&C.
Rush of course wasn't a thing back then and while this was during the period of time where Blizzard just stopped printing minions with Charge, when they did start using it again it was in DH (In fact upon fact checking 2/4 Charge minions printed after Frozen Throne were DH).
Wish I had better art for these, might remove the fel tag since it doesn't have a green glow. Also I'd think it'd be cool if it had a little felwing trapped inside the amber in the pendant.
Really good card, especially if skeletons are meta fortunately for this card even if they suck this card is a decent spell. Secret mage in wild ran fireball as a finisher until the deck went under so I’d imagine if nothing else mech mage wouldn’t mind this either as a finisher either especially thanks to its added flexibility. Worst case scenario this is a decent discover pick
I will admit there are some places where I either overdid it or probably just need to be left alone
Fiery war axe - maybe it can be unnerfed but I thought it would be better to try something else entirely just in case I might ultimately choose to not change it when I'm done
Rock biter - I already changed and might continue to do so
Flame tongue - might be overdone I am not sure will reduce the health to 4 or come up with something else or just leave it alone
I will admit basic cards are supposed to be weaker and to a lesser extent classic cards but I think that some cards might be falling off too much, or were too bad to begin with, I do plan to keep try to get this to work and will be trying to leave the stuff that sets their baselines and will probably remove the changes to fiery war axe, felstalker, remove taunt from war golem and various others in attempt to preserve some of the baseline I overlooked
Well this went as well as I thought it would and regarding the typos, I really don't know how they got there also card images is a planned thing, regarding the power level of certain cards, I might not be the most insightful person regarding that hence the post, to gather an outside opinion.
I probably should put more details regarding the changes but here are some now to start.
Regarding not using rush, well there is no such thing in the classic set same thing with discover, lifesteal is also the case but I chose to overlook that partially cause it'd be really difficult to do some of these cards without it and realistically it would just get keyworded
Auctioneer - I considered leaving this one alone but I did buff the attack so it is a better minion overall and the health was something I wanted to leave alone due to the power level of the effect, he could probably be left alone but he hasn't seen play for awhile
Violet teacher - I didn't think the upside was too much but comparing it to other cards of the same cost in this I should probably just make it like a 3 mana 2/4 so it's effect is more useful when the card can be played
Brightwing - was one that I thought about a lot and though I considered just making it 2 mana I chose giving it an additional effect that seemed to fit
What I’m attempting to do is make their just be less trash in the 2 sets, I do like your argument, healing touch in fact was a card that I went back and forth went alot, unsure how much it’s healing should be valued in fact looking back I probably shouldn’t have changed it in the first place, what I am trying to concede to is that I probably went to far on a number of cards alot of the cards probably should’ve stayed the same I buffed everything as I was trying hard to make most of it playable in fact despite me stating O was leaving cards like river crocisck and chillwind yeti and even wisp I still found my self wanting to change them. The goal was to deal with stuff like millhouse and onyxia which no body wants to end up with as they are useless especially for new players. but looking back I do see that I changed alot more than I had to.
There is also the fact that I was warping what the cards were in some cases like the beast.
and zephyrs I honestly think makes any card good as he gives you it when you really need it, healing touch usually isn’t good enough to see any play but you are happy to get it off zephyrs as, well you heed that healing. It is why I made mortal strke deal so much if you are low on health burst is less valuable as you are about to die so in return it gives you more, (still think I over tuned it though)
with all that said you are not a happy when you get guardian of kings or priestess of elune off zephyrs when compared to healing touch as the cards are so weak
In summary I probably did to much, but I do feel like some things need to change, nobody ever buys classic packs for a reason (being the evergreen set isn’t worth much if most of it is trash nobody uses)(and I don’t like the fact that it also has some of the worst legendaries in the game)
First of all this is my first time posting on the forums, now with that out of the way lets get started. Remember when shadows did a priest coreset redesign well, I tried to do the same with neutral basic and classic, completely forgot about it for months then last night finished it decided to quickly do it for each of the classes and I am now done. I chose not to bring in any cards from later expansions, but I did end up redesign a card or 2 but nothing to significant.
Also I don’t plan to add demon hunter to this right now, maybe later

Deathwing - now silences and destroys all minions (considered giving him deathrattle return the discarded cards to your hand)
Sea giant - no change
Any suggestions on what to do with millhouse and lorewalker?
And any other thoughts while your at it?
edit: I forgot to mention that I avoided using rush when making this, probably shouldn’t have used discover though
Body bagger:
Will see alot of play as far as I can tell, maybe in wild you’d prefer murmy or something, probably not though.
Runeforging:
If death knight receives good weapons this will see play, simple.
Chillfallen baron:
Nice card, draws 2, contests the board, leaves a corpse, also is the only non frost rune generic card draw so far I’m pretty sure
Malignant horror:
I don’t like this card right now, unless death knight gets alot of corpse generation I don’t see them wasting 5 of them on a subpar body that’ll keep robbing them of corpses. Atleast if your opponent full clears it it’ll have only cost you one corpse I guess
Corpse bride:
Atleast when compared to malignant horror this ones pretty nice, 5 corpses for a 5/5 versus 5 for a 2/4 reborn, personally I think the extra cost is a worthy tradeoff here as atleast your actually generating threats here.
Either way I’d like to see more cards that net you multiple corpses or I’m gonna start believing we’re expected to run ram commander and maybe even reef walker and grim necromancer in at least every unholy build maybe even in other runes aswell.
Edit: since grim necromancer is undead and so are her skeletons she might not actually be that bad, still would like for something more interesting.
Also as for anti magic shell, I think it’s comparable to the robes from scholomance this is permanent and doesn’t rely on your opponent not having 4 damage worth of minions, but this probably feels worse to tempo and right now I’m not actually sold on unholy blood’s ability to generate corpses yet.
I really don’t see frostmourne making it, a 7 mana for a 5/3 weapon just isn’t really worth it, paladin had libram of judgement a card that is incredibly easy to discount to 4-5 mana and had what in my opinion is a more practical upside and never really made the cut from what I recall.
Maybe it makes it in triple blood if it gets enough healing to facilitate it, it probably would be like if gorehowl vometed a board when you were done with it, but I don’t know when the last time that thing saw play was and I don’t think an upside in 3 turns is what it needed, But maybe it’s possible this makes it for an expansion maybe post rotation
I mean the card wasn’t bad, there just wasn’t much support for it as there just isn’t alot of generic frost spells. Still surprising though. I’ll miss playing this in bad pure frost decks in casual though.
In Rarran's video today with Celestalon, specifically the section about the revealed cards Celestalon mentioned some things about the development of some of the recently revealed cards here are some that I found interesting
Sunfury Stalwart was originally a 6/8 but didn't have rush (presumably changed as a buff)
Invincible was originally (or at some point) 7 mana (Nerfed)
There is some specific ordering in place for dual tribal tags (all that was specifically mentioned is that undead goes first)
Scourge Rager was originally a 5/5 but apparently was "too OP" (I guess there's a rallyesque card this expansion that it's really good with)
He pretty much confirmed fire warrior (when talking about embers of strength)
Not particularly notable but apparently corpse explosion's rarity was changed last minute (was an epic I'd guess)
Vampiric blood was considered to be nerfed to 3 mana late in balancing but wasn't
Just found this interesting
I was looking through the playhearthstone card library, and noticed one peculiar thing, Theotar is shown as a 6 mana 4/4
https://hearthstone.blizzard.com/en-us/cards?set=standard&sort=name%3Aasc%2Cclasses%3Aasc%2CgroupByClass%3Aasc&textFilter=theotar
I tried to post a screenshot of it but I couldn't figure out how to here.
Happy to see another card to tutor Hammer, probably not enough to experiment with blacksmithing warrior again right now since Mr. Smite is still at 7 and there still isn’t a comparable finisher for the deck.
It is still really nice for the deck, though.
As for the other 2, well I personally think dirty rat is still better than called to stand, but rat isn’t in standard so this’ll still see alot of play in standard. Theotar might still hurt it’s playrate though, since it he is so strong.
The 5 mana guy is nice but it is surprising how underwhelming a mana 8/8 taunt feels (looking at you morshan elite) this does have an easier condition though and is all in one
Absolutely unplayable if you get it off fires of zin-ashari, unless you also got a nomi or something off it.
Ignoring that, it seems like a powerful tech card against ql priest, sunken cards, ambassador faelin, kazakusan, shuffle rogue, bomb warrior, academic espionage burgle rogue shenanigans, c’thun the shattered and maybe mill rogue if your opponent leaves himself open to it and is probably annoying for decks running soul shards
The set of spellstones I made as a what if DH was around during K&C.
Rush of course wasn't a thing back then and while this was during the period of time where Blizzard just stopped printing minions with Charge, when they did start using it again it was in DH (In fact upon fact checking 2/4 Charge minions printed after Frozen Throne were DH).
Wish I had better art for these, might remove the fel tag since it doesn't have a green glow. Also I'd think it'd be cool if it had a little felwing trapped inside the amber in the pendant.
Also might up the restriction
Really good card, especially if skeletons are meta fortunately for this card even if they suck this card is a decent spell. Secret mage in wild ran fireball as a finisher until the deck went under so I’d imagine if nothing else mech mage wouldn’t mind this either as a finisher either especially thanks to its added flexibility. Worst case scenario this is a decent discover pick
Sorry, about that, my mistake.
Could've sworn I added him.
Whoops, I'll fix that.
I didn't expect to see my deck here
I will admit there are some places where I either overdid it or probably just need to be left alone
Fiery war axe - maybe it can be unnerfed but I thought it would be better to try something else entirely just in case I might ultimately choose to not change it when I'm done
Rock biter - I already changed and might continue to do so
Flame tongue - might be overdone I am not sure will reduce the health to 4 or come up with something else or just leave it alone
I will admit basic cards are supposed to be weaker and to a lesser extent classic cards but I think that some cards might be falling off too much, or were too bad to begin with, I do plan to keep try to get this to work and will be trying to leave the stuff that sets their baselines and will probably remove the changes to fiery war axe, felstalker, remove taunt from war golem and various others in attempt to preserve some of the baseline I overlooked
Well this went as well as I thought it would and regarding the typos, I really don't know how they got there also card images is a planned thing, regarding the power level of certain cards, I might not be the most insightful person regarding that hence the post, to gather an outside opinion.
I probably should put more details regarding the changes but here are some now to start.
Regarding not using rush, well there is no such thing in the classic set same thing with discover, lifesteal is also the case but I chose to overlook that partially cause it'd be really difficult to do some of these cards without it and realistically it would just get keyworded
Auctioneer - I considered leaving this one alone but I did buff the attack so it is a better minion overall and the health was something I wanted to leave alone due to the power level of the effect, he could probably be left alone but he hasn't seen play for awhile
Violet teacher - I didn't think the upside was too much but comparing it to other cards of the same cost in this I should probably just make it like a 3 mana 2/4 so it's effect is more useful when the card can be played
Brightwing - was one that I thought about a lot and though I considered just making it 2 mana I chose giving it an additional effect that seemed to fit
What I’m attempting to do is make their just be less trash in the 2 sets, I do like your argument, healing touch in fact was a card that I went back and forth went alot, unsure how much it’s healing should be valued in fact looking back I probably shouldn’t have changed it in the first place, what I am trying to concede to is that I probably went to far on a number of cards alot of the cards probably should’ve stayed the same I buffed everything as I was trying hard to make most of it playable in fact despite me stating O was leaving cards like river crocisck and chillwind yeti and even wisp I still found my self wanting to change them. The goal was to deal with stuff like millhouse and onyxia which no body wants to end up with as they are useless especially for new players. but looking back I do see that I changed alot more than I had to.
There is also the fact that I was warping what the cards were in some cases like the beast.
and zephyrs I honestly think makes any card good as he gives you it when you really need it, healing touch usually isn’t good enough to see any play but you are happy to get it off zephyrs as, well you heed that healing. It is why I made mortal strke deal so much if you are low on health burst is less valuable as you are about to die so in return it gives you more, (still think I over tuned it though)
with all that said you are not a happy when you get guardian of kings or priestess of elune off zephyrs when compared to healing touch as the cards are so weak
In summary I probably did to much, but I do feel like some things need to change, nobody ever buys classic packs for a reason (being the evergreen set isn’t worth much if most of it is trash nobody uses)(and I don’t like the fact that it also has some of the worst legendaries in the game)
First of all this is my first time posting on the forums, now with that out of the way lets get started.
Remember when shadows did a priest coreset redesign well, I tried to do the same with neutral basic and classic, completely forgot about it for months then last night finished it decided to quickly do it for each of the classes and I am now done.
I chose not to bring in any cards from later expansions, but I did end up redesign a card or 2 but nothing to significant.
Also I don’t plan to add demon hunter to this right now, maybe later

The black knight - costs one less, has taunt, and now reads battlecry destroy a taunt minion to gain charge (maybe no charge)
Windfury harpy - is now a 5/6
Baron geddon - now a 7/7
Barrens stablehand - now a 4/2 and now reads battlecry summon a beast from your hand
High inquisitor whitemane - now has taunt and summons friendly minions that died this turn and last and trigger their deathrattles (maybe to much)
Ravenholdt assassin - now has +1 attack and +1 health
Arcane devourer - now is a 8/8 and now reads whenever you cast a spell gain attack and health equal to it’s cost
Gruul - gained charge and battlecry can’t attack heroes this turn (charged devilsaur)
Alexstrasza - no change
Malygos - no change
Nozdormu - gained: your cards have lifesteal (maybe “a bit” to much)(edit: I this could be problematic as the lifesteal animation + the already much shorter turn time
Onyxia - now summons 2/1 whelps with taunt
Ysera - laughing sister is now a 5/6 taunt that now reads only you can target this with spells or hero powers (not sure how to buff ysera herself)(I’m pretty sure there is some flavor behind her being a 9 mana 4/12 like Malygos)
Deathwing - now silences and destroys all minions (considered giving him deathrattle return the discarded cards to your hand)
Sea giant - no change
Any suggestions on what to do with millhouse and lorewalker?
And any other thoughts while your at it?
edit: I forgot to mention that I avoided using rush when making this, probably shouldn’t have used discover though
BADCARDNAMEWait a second hearthcards messed up, when you import linecracker it gets labeled boomsday instead of Rastakhan.
Yes I checked
