    Man, how I missed seeing those big fan expansions here with lots of extra content , the Doomclock mechanic is super creative and interesting,  by seeing all this put together, you actually inspired me to go back to my old abondoned project, the Year of the Wolf.  Congrats and thanks Kuba, can't wait to see the rest of it.

    FINAL UPDATE: And for the last hero of the thread, we'll have not a demigod, but an actual god! The progenitor of most (all?) demigods from Elden Ring, and that is Lord Radagon of the Golden Order! The final boss of the game, the most holy character of the game, representing the Paladin and Priest classes.


    Largelly known for his red locks and legendary skill, Radagon is a high rank warrior of the Golden Order, who foght contless wars in their name, but in one of those wars, he met a mage woman named Rennala, and after some battles, they fell in love with each other, each resulted in a marriage who ended the war between Leyndell and The Carian Royals. From their marriage, three children were born, Radahn, Rykard and Ranni. Althought they trully loved each other, one day Radagon left Rennala all of a sudden, and returned to Leyndell to marry Queen Marika, who just banished Godfrey, and from their marriege, Radagon gained godhood, and his children with Rennala, demigodhood, and speaking of children, Radagon had two more kids with Marika, the afflicted twins Malenia and Miquella. After Godwyn's death, Marika destroyed the Elden Ring, and Radagon tried to repair it, but despite going against Marika's actions, he became locked inside the Erdtree forever as punishment for Marika's sin. By why did Radagon had to pay for a crime that his wife commited? Well, the answer is simple, but also spoiler heavy, you were warned! So why did Radagon lefted Rennala after Marika went single? Why he suddenly became a God? Why his kids with Marika are defective despite both being gods? Why he is paying for Marika's crimes? well, all of that is because:

    Alright then, I decided to make the reward a Hero Power again, the spell version would be either broken or stupid, so a in between version was necessary.

    And now, feedback time.

    Show Spoiler

    Linkblade: Control the Skies flavour's Amazing! Though I'm not quite sold on the reward, the pratical side of it seens kinda lackluster. Looking for Group though is awesome in every way, one of my favorites so far.

    Wailor: Of all your cards, I like Keep the Balance the most, nice flavour, class dynamic and balance. Miracle of Shadows is nice too but not my favorite, and honestly We are One has a good flavour but that is about it, not really a fan of it.

    CursedParot: I think you're trying too hard with your card, a lot of things in it seens kinda throwed away for no reason (Like Stealth or the "They cost (7)" part) Your card has potencial, but you should REALLY simplify it and give it a more clear direction.

    BasilAnguis: Out of your cards, I like Feed the Void the most, nice flavour and class dynamic here, however I have two complains, the first being the art of L'ura of the Void, a screenshot as a card art is a bad idea, if you decide to go with it, here's a art suggestion for you on the spolier, and the other one is the condition should've been harder to complete, 6 could be easilly completled with a board clear (Similar to my original card ironically).

    Show Spoiler

    Demon: Well, submmiting cards from custom expansions haven't really worked for me in the past, but maybe you'll have better luck. Regarding the card, I like it a lot! The burst potencial might be scary, but if Stormwind thought us something is that quests are supposed to be finishers and not stallers, so I don't think it is really a problem (Althought I can see some people giving it lower rates for that matter).

    Alright then, new version based on feedback, with a harder condition and a spell reward instead of a hero power. I wanted to go with the first version but since I know a lot of people hate Charge, I made a second version. I'll try to writte a feedback tomorrow on my day off.

    A lore friendly quest to two classes that loves hitting their own minions. Just to be clear, to advance the quest you would need to directly deal the damage, minions surviving damage would not count towards quest progression. Kinda feel like it is too week right now, so I would like a second opinion on that matter.

    UPDATE 5: In this thread, you were presented to a lot of powerful characters, all of each are basically immortal, since they continue to live even after death as a rememberence, but there's one thing in Elden Ring that can put a genuine end to one's life whether it's a mortal, demigod or god, and that thing is the Rune of Death, also know as Destined Death, which is guarded by one of the most fearsome warriors of the Lands Between, Maliketh, the Black Blade. He represents the Warrior and Priest classes, and his main gimmick, the Destined Death, funcitions as permanent and overtime damage in the game, so permanent damage will be one of his main mechanics in Hearthstone as it is in Elden Ring.


    Maliketh is the brother and Empyrian Shadow (Which is just a fancy name for "God's Bodyguard") of Queen Marika , the guardian of the Elden Ring, which holds the very concepts of reality within itself, and one of those concepts is Death, but one day Marika decided to remove the concept of death from reality,so she removed the Rune of Death from the Elden Ring, making everyone in the lands immortal as consequence. Althought she took the Rune of Death out of the Elden Ring, she didn't discarded it, so she trusted the Rune of Death to Maliketh, infusing it to his blade, which became the only weapon capable of permanently killing anyone or anything, including gods and entitys. But on the Night of the Black Knifes, a fragment from the Rune of Death was stolen from Maliketh, and was used by the group know as the "Black Knifes" to kill Marika's favorite son, Godwyn the Golden. Infuriated by her son's murder, Marika completly destroyed the Elden Ring , and as punishment for his failure, Marika doomed Maliketh to ever hunger for Deathroot, the root from the tree that Godwyn's corpse lies, now Maliketh lives as a clergyman known as Gurranq, spending all of his days eating Deathroot and atoning for his ultimate sin. Even after all those events, Maliketh still guards the Rune of Death, which you need to reach the end of your jorney.

    I'll go with these three, not really sold on any of them, thoughts? (And remember, no need to comment on all of them, just your favorite is enough for me).

    And since I skipped feedback last week due to personal problems, I'll give an early feedback this time.

     

    Demonx95
    That's a nice cute card, but if I got it right, it can Discover and cast any kind of spell right? If so, this is kinda broken as it is, since cards like Immortalized in Stone, The Garden's Grace and Party Up! exists. If that is not the case and it only Discovers targeteble spells, then you should clariffy it ( And also increase the cost a bit since the highroll potencial would still be extreme).

    Linkblade
    It's a good card, but there's something about it that is bothering me and I can't really tell what it is. Maybe it's the name, or the art, the wording,or the effect seens more legendary worth. I don't know, I think I'll wait to see what other people think to give a proper feedback later. Balance wise, I think it's good as it is, cards that double effects like Brann Bronzebeard and Baron Rivendare usually have decent stats, specially the class exclusives ones like Bolner Hammerbeak.

    Wailor
    Pretty good callback to Murazond, the Infinite. Not really a problem of the card, but I think you would gain extra points if the art actually portray an Infintity Whelp, I don't think there's any Infinity Whelp artwork out there, but a little editing would do the trick.

    AeroJulwin
    I like the idea of transforming Whelps into Drakes more, but I could see the Paladin version using the transformation effect too if you rather go by the Bronze Dragon flavour. Also I think the art could be better, the current one is kinda off the Hearthstone standards.

    UPDATE 4: For the first time in this thread, we'll have a character who's not a Demigod, but the progenitor of some of them (Morgott and Mogh, to be specific), one of the most noble, heroic and chad charaters of the game, Godfrey, the First Elden Lord (Not to be confused by Lord Godfrey), representing the Warrior and Druid classes.


    The warrior once known as Hoarah Loux was the strongest warrior of the Lands Between, and Queen Marika, who ruled the lands, was in need of a champion to lead her armies and defeat the ones who threated her order, so she ploted to marry Hoarah Loux and make him general. And so, Hoarah Loux maried Marika, claiming the title of Elden Lord and a new name: Godfrey. Althought Godfrey was the perfect warrior to lead Marika's armies, he was also a savage who was constantly hungry for battle, and to prevent his almost beastial temperament from ruining Marika's reign, Godfrey got his beastial side separated from him by the Greater Will, granting birth to Serosh, a lion spirit who incorporated all of Godfrey's beastiality, leaving him only with the heroic warrior side.
    After many wars fought in the name of Marika, she eventually exiled him from the lands for mysterious reasons, and by the end of your journey, he fights you to regain the title of Elden Lord, and when his victory over you seens impossible, he kills Serosh (who let's say represents his "Druid" side) and once again becomes the legendary bloodlust barbarian Hoarah Loux...WARRIIIIIOOOORRR!!!

    Quote From Neoguli

    Made the small adjustments that you guys suggested. Now it should be of better wording, and also she's now a Warden. Also to @MrRhapsody - don't submit Thermal Shocker, because I fully intent on submitting Moonforest Warden, and us having basically identical cards in terms of effect and even stats would sound suspicious.

    Thanks for the heads up, didn't took a look at the discussion before posting, my bad. So, ignore my previous cards, here's a new version a Thermal Shocker wich I think looks a lot better. Also, feedback tomorow on my day off.

    I think people got confused by my first card, so I'll give a proper explanation:

    The Battlecry works the same as Instructor Fireheart, and it synergizes with the Hero Power! So for example: If cast 3 spells with the Battlecry, you'll have Spell Damage +3 for the rest of the game, and the more damage you take from the battlecry, the more Spell Damage you'll have. Would Mage REALLY not benefict from a permanent Spell Damage +3? But that's ok, here's a new version, it works the same as the first one, except the Battlecry and the Hero Power are switched, so with all explanations given, should I go with the first version or this one? ( since I'm not really happy with the second).

    And now, my feedback:

    Linkblade
    Yeah, Ragnaros is pretty cool but also kinda busted. Mecha-Mannoroth is not as cool but way more balanced, however, the fact you can just kill one specific minion and keep ressurecting it forever is kinda scary, specially considering it curves right into Mr.Smite. my suggestions to you is to either make the Hero Powers set the stats of the minion to 3/3 or something, or make the battlecry destroy more than one minion.

    Wailor
    You're making some awesome cards this season, definally a 5/5, no complains. And also, that combo people are talking aren't really a issue, Druid has far more broken combos in Wild.

    Demon
    Its a nice card, but I think it should costs more, the feeling towards mid game cards that instantly wins the game when played is quite negative as you might know, and this looks like one of those cards to me, that snowball could get the size a skycrapper, imagine cards like Reno or hero Scabbs, that wouldn't be fun at all. I suggest you to raise a cost to 5 or even to 6. As for the Hero Power, going for the bouncing diraction is quite fitting and flavourful, but as you already statted, also dangeroes, go for it, but be careful.

    Neoguli
    Cool card, but as other are saying, the DH side of the card is there purelly for flavour. I think you should drop DH for Warlock, since I personally couldn't think of anything cool and fitting between DH and Mage.

    BasilAnguis
    I saw that one coming, and it's a quite cool implementation of King Anduin, but I think the priest side of the card could be improved, so what make the battlecry ressurect minions as 4/4 with Taunt? It would make the card more priest like and also remove the Token problem Wailor mentioned. Also, I think Lifesteal should be used only by Shadow Priests, it is just my personal taste, but perhaps other people here think the same way and might take some points away from you for it.

    anchorm4n
    It seens you already submmited, but know that the new version is a lot better.

    AeroJulwin
    The Hero entrance effect is very awesome! The Hero Power? Not so much. Maybe a permanent +1 Attack on your turn would be good enough, but I'll wait for your brainstorm to see the new hero Power, since I don't really have another suggestion this time.

    Gues I'm going with a Warlock card again, just not sure which version to go.

    The idea is that Mohg extracts his blood to increase his powers, the perfect illustration of a Blood Mage.

    And I knew the theme only looks simple at first glance when I suggested it, so if any one is struggling with ideas, I'll leave a piece of a FCS interview I did about Elden Ring heroes, which were all dual class heroes (and by the way, the thread recently got updated with a new hero, go take a look!) I hope it helps to inspire someone.

    Show Spoiler
    "I think the main thought I had when making those heroes was "compare and adapt". Let's take Malenia for example, she's by no mean a druid nor a rogue, she's not stealthy, she doesn't steal anything, she doesn't turn into animals nor throw plant at her opponent's, in fact, she plays her own class in the game, but if you can compare her in game abilities and lore to Hearthstone's you can see why I design her as a Druid/Rogue. Her main weapon is a prosthetic katana, which causes you to bleed, steals your life and is fast as hell! Which Hearthstone class is known for being fast and do a lot of stuff in one turn? Yes, rogue, and another gimmick she is famous for is the Scarlet Rot, a fungal like disease which acts like a poison on one's mind and body, and she reaches the goddess of rot stage, she grows plant wings filled with fungus and butterflies. Fungus, plants, butterflies, which is the best Hearthstone class to represent those aspects, oh right, Druid! So when you see Malenia's class, don't see her as a Rogue/Druid, see her as her own class which can be interpreted as Rogue/Druid. This is another great aspect of Duels heroes, you can mix two classes to create a new one specific to your character, Ranni is not a Mage nor a Warlock, she's a Witch, but can be interpreted as a Mage/Warlock, Radahn is not a Warrior/ Mage, he's a Warrior which occasionally uses magic, but the dual class system allows us to explore the entirely set of a characters' ability without missing flavor

    Feedback coming soon.

    UPDATE 3: And yet another Elden ring boss join the Hearthstone Duels as a Warlock/ Shaman, which is Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy, ruler of the Volcano Manor, and ties with Mogh as the most Evil and grotesque character of the game.


    Rykard, as the other characters here, is a demigod, direct brother of Radahn and Ranni, which had an ambition to destroy the Erdtree and the Golden Order, and to achive that, he feed himself to the God Devouring Serpent, a monstrosity capable of devouring a being and absorb its powers and essence. But when Rykard got devoured, he fused his conscious with the serpent, and they became one. Now Rykard has an eternal hunger for champions, and currently rules the Volcano Manor, which is dedicated to destroy the Erdtree and gather the mightiest champions to feed Rykard and increse his power, so one day he can become powerful enough to devour the gods and became the new lord supreme of the Lands Between. He is know for his iconic serpentine quotes:
    "JOIN THE SERPENT KIIIIING AS FAMILEEEEEE. TOGETHAAAAAA WE WILL DEVOUAAAAAHHH, THE VERY GAAAAWWDSS!!!"

    Honestly, I feel like both of my cards kinda suck but I'm not feeling like making another, So I did two new versions of Pressure Exchange based on feedback, which is the best name, class and effect for it? Should a make a mix of them? Or just go with the original? (And also, the Priest version uses the same wording as Ambassador Faelin, so it puts 3 random minions in the deck, don't be confused)

    Anyway, a quick feedback in a weird order:

    Show Spoiler

    Demon: I still think Shaman fits better.

    Wailor: Yeah, despite the amazing flavour, your cards had some issues, but still, you managed to make clever adaptations. So about the new cards, the new Coiling Chronomancer is kinda boring and week, but Marine Manipulator is almost as good as the secret. It still has that "If the bottom card is not a minion" problem, but it seens most people here are not too worried about it, and honestly I have no idea how to adjust the problem without killing the flavour, so I'll say you should just submmit as it is and clarify the interaction in the description.

    SkeithDE: The minion version is pretty neat! It could use a 1 or even 2 Health buff since the pay off is not immediate for neither players.

    Cheese: Welp, nice card, but rules are rules, you should think of something else, since I don't think there's a way to adjust the current card without breaking the flavour, mechanics or rules.


    Linkblade: I was going to say that the new It's the Big One was awesome but weak, but now that I see your new card, know that it is amazing! Both flavour and mechanic wise. I'm just not sure about balance, giving a Windfury weapon to a class with Weapon buffs is quite scary, specially with 6 durability, but maybe that is just my Rogue haterism speaking, but I still suggest you to wait a bit for more feedback. Off topic: Sucks that you got Covid,  but sure you'll get better in no time, cheers!

    Quote From AeroJulwin

    Making Ancient Puzzle a Shaman card is a good idea. MrRhapsody's phrasing is also nice, but I think casting X spells as a requirement makes it too similar to Queen Azshara. (I think you confused it with some other treasures, so I'll make sure to explain it in the submission description).

    Bruuuuuh, I'm sorry, I had a brain fart and tought that Ancient Relics were the cards given by OG Rafaam, that art just screamed League of Explorers for me for some reason. Allow me to do another feedback them.

    The card the way it is now is pretty awesome! However, mixing mechanics from different expansions when it is not asked from the competition has proven to be problematic in the past, so I don't recommend you to bring sidequests back. I think you should mix the original idea and the new one to make a new card, something like a 3/0/3 Shaman weapon with "Whenever you cast a spell from a different school, lose a Durability. Deathrattle: Put a random Ancient Relic on the bottom of your deck", or maybe " Whenever you cast a spell from a different school, put a random Ancient Relic on the bottom of your deck and lose a durability".

    Here's my ideas for this week:

    Sunken Fortune is self explanatory I think, I was thinking about making it shuffle the Coins in your opponent's deck and give you the coins when drawn instead, but I'm really not sure about it.

    And Pressure Exchan'ge is supose to illustrate the idea of a sudden water pressure exchange which makes the minion "pop up", represented by the Deathrattle triggering.

    Back feeding time:

    Show Spoiler

    Demon: I agree with Arkasaur, that card the way it is now screams Shaman for some reason, maybe the blue frame is influencing me a bit, thought I can see it fitting in a lot of others classes with the right adjustments, I don't think its necessary, but it is something to think about. And about the card itself, it's pretty neat!

    Wailor: Dude, That's Bait is AMAZING! I really hope it qualifies the way it now, but if it somehow doesn't, you should make some adjustments until it fits.

    Linkblade: Not a fan of Exploratory Mission TBH, but It's the Big One! is pretty cool! The text can be a bit consufusing thought, I think it's better to sacrifice flavour in order to make text easier to understand.

    AeroJulwin: Flavour wise your card is a 5/5, but mechanic wise it is quite weird. Ancient Relics weren't that good even when them came out, and nowadays days they manage to be worse. Also, not a fan by the fact you're ment to attack with it to solve the puzzle, it just feels wrong, specially as a Priest card. My suggestion is to change the condition to break the durability and reduce the Ancient Relics costs, something like "Whenever you cast a spell, lose a durability. Deathrattle: Put a random Ancient Relic on the bottom of your deck, they costs (3) less." or something along these lines.

    LarryMoments: That's a neat card, but I think the Emergency Defences should be simplified somehow, it seens to be trying to hard to be innovative the way it is now. And about the artwork, I searched for some fitting art for you, see if you like any of them. Just click in the Spoilers to see them.

    Arkasaur: Vengeful Retreat is nice but Shadow Word: Drown is Awesome! It could use some balance changes problably, but it is still a 5/5.

    Neoguli: Spare Recycler is weird, but Kolrax the Voidseal is pretty cool! I'm problably biased by my Warlock "fanboyism", but still, that's my honest opinion. And if you choose to go with Kolrax, you should clarify what "The First Seal" is in the description, not everyone will remember Rin was a card. And also, I think you should remove the Kobolds watermark since that set already has Rin.
