    Two ideas for this comp:

    Teemo is Secret Hunter support. Right now, it casts the Secret only if it's a Trap, but I might make it so it's cast regardless. The Demon tag is for meme purposes :p

     

    Heimerdinger is a late-game finisher. You play him, cast a couple of cheap spells, and pray it survives until next turn to make the T-Hex even bigger. There's Mech for every cost between 1 and 7:

    We're aware, we just hadn't had time too write an article on the matter. Coming right up!

    I mean... It is: Scholomance Academy, released less than a year ago.

    It is, but I can't figure out if this card is incredibly weak or incredibly annoying. Can't be worse than Harbinger Celestia.

    Have fun down this rabbit hole of madness!

    All I can add is that Darmoon Faire takes place after both Scholomance and Outland because of the mini-set.

    First 2 ideas for this comp:

    Feedback:

    Show Spoiler

    Wailor: Simple, but effective. I think you can get away with the second version, since the minion can't attack. 

    Demonxz95: I like the cannon more, tough neither of them do much, since they're pretty small units. The Cannon has synergy with Scavanging Hyena, I guess. Surprised you didn't go the 4/4 route with Rag.

    grumpymonk: Arcane Watchtower is an interesting one, since it's fairly easy to play around. This is an Aggro tech more than anything else. The other card is pretty basic, and quite annoying.

    linkblade91: LOL, I love this! I'd make it end of turn, so you know what you do next turn, and are guaranteed the effect if your opponent is a killjoy and removes the wardrobe before it triggers.

    DestroyerR: Pretty nice, but you'd need a decktracker to remember what cards your opponent revealed, since Hearthstone doesn't implement revealed cards.

    anchorm4n: Targeted Rag, but you must use your face to do it. I think it's balanced, maybe even weak, since it does nothing when you play it.

    Quote From Tetsuo

    It's the new Spiteful Summoner, but I don't think any class other than Druid or Hunter would think of playing it. Druids can ramp up to it pretty quickly, while some streamers are already building some minion-heavy Hunter decks with Nagrand Slam and Guardian Animals as their only spells to take advantage of Primordial Protector. But other than that, no, I don't think this card is broken, and I'll be surprised to see it nerfed. 

    You don't even need to have these 2 be the only spells, as you're guaranteed the highest cost one. In fact, it's probably better to have some chap spells, as that way the card isn't dead if you draw all the high cost ones.

    This one's a tough one, but I think I'm pleased with the design I came up with here:

    Feedback, going newest to oldest. It says something when I wouldn't want to see any of the cards in the actual game.

    Show Spoiler

    Wailor: Not sure this is intentional, but this would also restore your enemy minions. Which I'm frankly ok with, since the alternative is incredibly annoying.

    bananenparty: Does this prevent your opponent from casting it? It should say 'instead' if so. Otherwise, love the design! GIVE ME YOUR PUZZLE BOX!

    KANSAS: Good design, pretty nuts in Dude Pally. Perhaps 4 minions is more balanced, or 3 in the same turn. [Hearthstone Card (Grave Vengance) Not Found] may be a little much (especially since it's KotFT exclusive), I'd go with good ol' Truesilver Champion

    cydonianknight: Eh, don't think the effect warrants being a legendary. Would be good with Tirion Fordring, but most other Pala Legendaries I can think of are Battlecries. Also, how would this work with High Priest Thekal? Would it trigger at the start of your turn, or would you have to go back above 10 and then be reduced by the enemy.

    Fedrion: I like the Spell Damage version the most. Requires you to build your deck around it, and it's pretty strong, while not that hart to play around (assuming it doesn't trigger if you take no damage). I'd just add a comma after the word 'turn'.

    BasilAnguis: I hate this! But it seems balanced enough. Not sure if making it 3 Secrets would make the card too hard to trigger.

    Dermostatic: Looks good. Really punishes players who play a lot of cards in a turn. 

    anchorm4n: Big AoE kill like this for 2, even if conditional… Not sure what to say. Then again, Paladin just got an insta-kill Secret, so I guess it might be ok.

    grumpymonk: Honestly, compared to the other "play 3 cards" secrets, this is really weak, even with the power level of the treasures. Maybe add 2 of them to your hand.

    shatterstar1998: I think Wormhole is the most balanced of the bunch, since you get one more Secret than Ring Toss, but you have to wait a turn, and they're all random.

    R: No

    Lundy: Interesting concept, and more fun than Ice Block. Looking forward to this being triggered by Arcane Missiles, triggering this, the the Box effect, and then, after it fails to heal me, getting killed by the rest of the Missiles resolving :p

    linkblade91: Not a bad idea, seems pretty balanced on paper.

    Demonxz95: On the strong side, but I don't think it's busted. It's certainly not as obnoxious as Ice Block, and your opponent has time to react to the 10/10. I'd say it's fairly balanced.

    DestroyR, they changed how Dormant works somewhere around Ashes of Outland. So when a minion goes Dormant, it keeps any modifications, including damage. Easiest way to test is Maiev.

    This section of the forums is basically dead, so ...

    I think this is a valid criticism. If you went to Steam to buy a multiplayer game, and all the reviews said there is no online you should consider that when making your purchase. The game might not last another year

    The MtGA section of the forums is also pretty dead, and that game is far from dead. I think... Mythgard also has a very dedicated Discord community, so if someone has an issue, they'd just go there. Not sure how true that is for the other games.

    Right now it's an odd period. Everyone is waiting for the last two codes to drop, but wait time seems to be pretty good for ranked, so I'd say the community is pretty active.

    In reply to How good is Mythgard?

    anchorm4n: Interesting idea, but Hearthstone has usually steered clear of cards that need other cards to work, unless they were part of the same adventure (Stalagg and amd Feugen) or build-arounds given for free (C'Thun, the Galakronds). 

    Pokeniner: Now this I like! Do you get the value now, or do you wait and greed it out? Love it! Balance seems fair, as well.

    Wailor: Nice buff to Razorpetals. Maybe a little too nice. Not sure about the balance level of this card, it seems too strong. But on the other hand, you need to generate a lot of cards and your opponent needs a board for this to be worth it. Really hard for me to judge. If anything, this should probably be a Legendary.

    cydonianknight: This looks like a fun guy! *ba dum tss* Pretty good synergy with the Illidary, but can pretty much break the game if you manage to copy Sklibb, becasue then you'll have an infinite army of 1/1s that just clear the board. And why is a mushroom person summoning Illidari?

    linkblade91: Already touched on it in the Discord, I feel the attack is too small for the card.

    Demonxz95: Still don't like the idea of permanent +1 Spell Damage. Especially since Shaman has Diligent Notetaker and Krag'wa, the Frog

    Here's my first idea:

    I put it in Scholomance as a reference to the Harry Potter tree. FYI: when it goes back to Dormancy, it retains any damage it took.

    You play them. They're collectible minions. Crappy, high-rarity ones too.

    This has got to be the worst legendary in a looooong time. It's an understatted minion that requires you to play even worse minions that are high rarity in order to break even. Third worst leg in the game, after Millhouse and The Beast!

    Stop deleting my card wtf

    Why do you think your card is getting deleted? If it's because you can't find it while voting, that's by design. You can't vote on your own card.

    Edit: If you're talking about the images on the Discussion Thread, you need to save them on your computer then upload them to a site like Imgur. (though I personally prefer postimages)

    Changed the art on Natural Evolution, and created a new card:

    Feedback on this page:

    Show Spoiler

    DestroyerR - Really nice idea. I like it!

    Wailor - The shade is in the same theme as my Leg here (they even have mirrored stats, lol), seems balanced. I absolutely LOVE the second Light and Might, but I can see some people deducting points from it. Not sure about Cycle of Nature.

    Pokeniner - Good idea, but I don't feel the Spell Damage fits on a fire elemental. I'd either change the entire flavor to Arcane, or find a different effect for the Sprite.

    Arkasaur - How does this work with AoE? I feel Mage has more targeted stuff in Arcane and Frost than Fire. Otherwise card looks good.

    Dreams - Really like the way Merlin works, but I'd change the name to something shorter and a character from Warcraft. Don't really like the Armorsmith.

    ChickyChick - Fel Summoner is alright, if the effect is a little boring. The Ogre is more interesting, IMO.

    KANSAS - Not sure I get the name. Cost reduction like this is more of a Druid thing than Shaman.

    AnAngryBadger - Seems like Fel spells in Warlock will focus on summoning, so this is probably a great card for that.

    rumpymonk - I like Abundance the most, and I think this version strikes a good balance.
