    Hey everyone! I'm back! Here's my start for the new competition.

    With all those quests he's got stuffed iinside. Holding a literal ball of fire in there seems highly feasible.

    "Don't look at me, it was the Far Watch Post that killed the Tinyfin."

    Thoughts?

    Different updated idea to make the Ransom more effective.

    Example card:

    Different idea for a Rogue Legendary secret, and thought it was cool, if only stealing wasn't a part of it, I'd like my creation. But alas, the cards I make for this.


    It's fairly easy to answer unless you don't feel the need to want the card back. I didn't think I should make the ransom cost 5 Mana. Thoughts?

    Current Idea for my Rogue Secret.
    "The city of Gilneas prepared for their surprise attack on Hagatha, and when she came Tess prepared the counter-attack with her army of two Wisps."


    Looked at the list of minions from 1-3 and Rogue had some decent minions they wanted pulled in the list, so I thought it would be okay. May be too strong, but give me your thoughts.

    Me and a friend of mine called Spindan made a full review sheet for the expansion. We had pretty decent knowledge of HS and how the metas worked that we could be confident in ourselves. I'll post each class reviews/ratings and hope yall enjoy it.

    Let's get the obvious one out of the way first,
    Demon Hunter:
    3/5
    Sigil of Silence
    Pokeniner: Really interesting to see these Sigils cycle for DH. Might be something similar to Librams for Paladin. This could be the sign that control DH is getting more focus this year over Aggro. Sigil of Flame is a good addition to go with this. (Edit: Just recognized this is can be run in aggro to nullify any defense as Spindan commented)
    Spindan: Ok, so apparently this may be HS' way to push control DH. That or it's a cycle. Compared to Mass Dispel it doesn't draw a card and the silence isn't instant, so we don't get a stupidly strong aggro DH tool. Ok. The main problem is of course the supposed downside. It only silences next turn, which means Deathrattle focused decks or handbuff deck, or any deck that doesn't rely on battlecries and pure stats get severely Loatheb'd for a turn. Rude. I'm not fond of this "I can set up a push for lethal next turn" due to the fact it can silence all taunt minions played next turn without any repercussions for you overall. Can't block a clear but you usually die to those anyway. It'll probably get into aggro anyway since 0 mana silence all enemies next turn. I expect it to at least be a 1 off of in many aggro DH decks for a bit.

    4/5
    Fury (Rank 1)
    Pokeniner: Replacement for Twin Slice. Will be run in every aggressive Demon Hunter. Despite what's given this expansion, Demon Hunter still has this large identity of aggression with its hero power and previous year.
    Spindan: Less flexible than Twin Slice, but it can make up for it via the extreme niche of mana efficiency. I guess it can be used in the occasional OTK as well as standard aggro decks, but I don't see much use for it in wild while Twin Slice exists as is. Still, at least it's pretty balanced, I do like it. This card gives me CHORTLES!

    3/5
    Tuskpiercer
    Pokeniner: Sorry, good weapon, but I don't think Deathrattle DH will stick. It's got good tools, but it's just so weak compared to things like Soul. I'll wait for this archetype to grow, it's something pleasing from the sight of all the Aggro DH we've seen.
    Spindan: 1 mana 1/2 weapon isn't much, but it does draw a DR goon which is good for setting up a DR deck. Isn't exactly synergistic with the legendary though along with Spirit. They may end up going into different decks.

    3/5
    Razorboar
    Pokeniner: The Beastmaster has a Beast. Does that justify its namesake or flavor. Not at all, but now I see why. I really wish they just designed something different because its just an eye sore to look at. But it's a cool chain card. This > Razorfen > Death's/Berserker.
    Spindan: I like that they're going for the Razorboar into Beastmaster, but just...Why print the same card but with all numbers changed by one? It's also a common as well. Wish we had something else like it generating boar-d presence. Ah well, it's still decent.

    2/5
    Sigil of Flame
    Pokeniner: Control Demon Hunter tool that probablt won't get supported well like in all the other expansions. Sigil of Silence is a good addition to go with this.
    Spindan: Oh neat, a con- oh goddammit it's DH. Until we get some more relevant wincons, control DH may not be so plausible. And also non-outcast stuff. And some big lifesteal removal stuff. Could be ran in a big DH list, actually maybe? It does still disencourage your opponent from playing so a free turn to gain some mana is lovely. Not expecting it to see play though. Shame it's a neat card.

    1/5 (This was before all the Deathrattle cards were revealed and we still hold strongly to this card. It also keeps this rating.)
    Razorfen Beastmaster
    Pokeniner: This is a Hunter card and Blizzard made a mistake. Change my mind. (When I say this, I mean that the flavor and design of this card screams Hunter rather than Demon Hunter)
    Spindan: Due to my refusal to believe this is DH due to the fact there's like, no relevant DH minions with Deathrattle, I instead opt to rate this as a hunter card. Because it totally is one don't lie to me now. 3 mana 3/3 with Deathrattle spew out a bloated Python, Zixor, or even Educated Elekk. That's kinda decent. Pity we can't hit Teacher's Pet but hey, we should be thankful for that! Decent Hunter card, but I'd rather eat a worm than admit that it's an actual DH card. It's so out of nowhere to me.

    2/5
    Vile Call
    Pokeniner: You know, I forgot this card existed as soon as I saw it. I even forgot to review it. That's how terrible it is. As stated by Spindan, its a worse Dreamway Guardians. I can tell they had to keep some Lifesteal cards alive for Demon Hunter but this ain't it. Demon Hunter has no board buffer and no real way to use these dudes except in Token Demon Hunter, which sucks.
    Spindan: Remember Dreamway Guardians? Well how about them but mostly worse? The card IS better when unbuffed, but DH doesn't have much of a means to AoE buff, which means the card is overall weaker. I can see a DH highlander list slotting it in, but there's more relevant cards. If it was like Doubling Imp then it'd be fantastic with felosophy though! But as a spell, sub-par.

    3/5
    Kurtrus Ashfallen
    Pokeniner: Tool for Standard Demon Hunter to keep board in the coming meta, but won't be enough by itself.
    Spindan: I like it, deal 3 damage to the enemies and tempo it? I think this is a fairly nice mid-rangey outcast. The better balanced 4 mana outcast-based DH leggie. Fuck you Altruis, this is MY alternative pick. Sorry Stelina, you could have been Warlock and I'd might have played you.

    3/5
    Vengeful Spirit
    Pokeniner: 4 Mana 4/4 Draw 2? This is another Deathrattle support and looking at the archetype is strange. With the legendary you want them to stay in your deck. But with Razorfen, you want them in hand. I'm confuif their going to play something similar to Recruit Warrior, or something like Cubelock. Good draw, but I don't think it wil amount to much.
    Spindan: The best way to support an archetype is with card draw, whatley knows it and so does Vengeful Spirit. A 4/4 for 4 that could draw a 5 mana DR is excellent tempo and you get another card for next turn. Decent synergy with Beastmaster but some anti-synergy with Blackthorn but hey, can't all be winners.

    3/5
    Death Speaker Blackthorn
    Pokeniner: So this is the big archetype build around. Overall, fairly good. Better than Oakheart imo. The only issue is that it won't see play because DH can do a lot more nuttier things before turn 7. Will be an off-meta deck, but won't be good enough.
    Spindan: A 7 mana 3/6 that pulls 3 DR minions from your deck is interesting, it's a nice deckthinner as well as a way to create a board. The only "problem" I could see is well, what 5 mana deathrattles could DH run to enough of a tempo effect. I think it'd be possible for a deck using these to be made, but we'll have to see if we get some 5 mana DRs to use with this. I think it'll be played though.

    I hope you enjoyed this starting pilot episode of P.S. Reviews. We've talked about doing this with the coming expansions, so I hope to do more of these for you guys to enjoy.

    Thoughts? Thief Priest looking into the mists of Ardenwald to obtain your knowledge, and cards.

    My idea for my card. Thoughts on it? Or is it not Fel-ish enough?

    Edit: Cursing a minion is the same as casting the Corruption spell on them. From the wording, it is meant to kill minions and any minions that are on board (summoned from Deathrattles or surviving) will become cursed.

    This card came when I had thought of Lunar Visions, and the niche design of Druids taking a Gamble with things like Guess the Weight. Thoughts?

    Thoughts on a Spell Token Treant Druid? Always wondered why this feeling of an archetype never got recognized.

    "The souls of the fallen shall burn again! This fel blade shall consume what's within!"

    The purpose of this weapon is to possess your opponent's weapons in the blade, refurbishing it to be used again. If you fail to slay the minion, the blade breaks and can no longer resurrect itself. Thoughts?

    Hey @freethinker, for the Jaina suggestion, I made it on purpose to not include Jaina. Although her longevity works well against Control matchups, we are right now in a very Aggressive meta atm. Jaina doesn't really come into play that much when you're at turn 7 and at 2 Health. This deck is either very aggressive against Control, or very reactive against other Aggro decks. Hope you understand you shouldn't really run Jaina at the time of this post, or really in this kind of deck.

    Thought of a crazy Priest clear that focuses on your being very timely with your trading.

    Thoughts? I'm looking it over and from how it seems, it might be too strong, but it's a very setup board clear condition with a major payoff.
    (Also to clarify, all healed damage is totaled to to the damage dealt.)

    Deciding which weapon would be better (worse Axe unless setup? or worse Trusilver without setup?), thoughts?

    "She's a humble bargainer, but she prefers to rest if there's no business around."

    Decided to take my own view of a Vulpera Scoundrel joining Priests instead of their natural sneaky or sly side, thoughts?

    My card for the competition, thoughts?

    The idea is that craving the Mana is so powerful it can draw you more cards. Very situational draw that can pay off if you build your deck well enough around it. [Edit: Don't know if the play on words "Thirst For Knowledge" fits the criteria of the competition]
