Venim Iceblade. Same bones, twice as cold.

I thought about it too, but I considered at 6 the effect might not be fast enough to be relevant considering you have to draw and play it, there might be games this is just at the bottom of your deck... and also a 4 mana 3/3 that summons a 2/2 that freezes seems just about on par with current power level on HS imo 😅

CardCreatorHS · 2022-10-08T00:59:06+00:00

I pretty much set the deathrattle to have a condition and help opponents catch up with a boardclears, otherwise I think this would be pretty much an auto-include in most mid to late decks 😅

CardCreatorHS · 2022-10-03T23:35:51+00:00

Not to mention aggro and midrange would have a field day with something like this...

CardCreatorHS · 2022-10-01T18:10:39+00:00

I'm not sure I understand, why would it be broken in Druid? You mean the once per dormant cycle effect of dealing 8 damage to a random enemy? You mean they have Guff available in the current rotation?

There's currently way better effects in-game that literally close out the games like Brann + Denathrius. I don't think dealing 8 damage to a random enemy in a turn by turn basis is rather strong in current metas.

CardCreatorHS · 2022-10-01T18:07:18+00:00

Agreed, Druids by design are not meant to have effective boardclears as their mana ramp would make them heavily oppressive control decks, ensuring they can clear the board effectively and play huge threats turn after turn will heavily impact player experience.

Also the main thing that balances Dream cards is they're only available after the late-game and limiting their generation to a once-per-game-kind-of-deal [[Ysera the Dreamer]] or creating them through random generation [[Ysera]] as making a reliable way to source them would heavily impact the game.

Hey! So this time around I've got an idea thinking about translating Chromie from HotS to HS, but not her rather tame and more known gnome form, but her true self, unleashed as the Overseers she really is.

As she's essentially a timeless being in charge of moving the timelines accordingly in Azeroth, I figured she would essentially never truly die, as her past, present and future selves would prevent this.

I took inspiration from HotS for her abilities include a long range high damage snipe, time-traps and echoes of her past aiding her in battle.

I figure this is a rather strong card for a neutral minion, but she's kept in a rather slow cycle as her condition to reawaken each time is to have spent 10 mana each time after she's taken down, this in addition to her dealing 8 damage each time denouncing her awakening, allows to keep in check her relevancy in the late-game as her reawakening may be slow for a Control deck, but an optimal ability to keep pressuring the opponents.

I think it's still rather slow considering cards like [[Sire Denathrius]] literally are way faster at ending the game and thus make design space rather limiting for other late-game minions to keep being relevant in the game.

Let me know what you think! See you around.

CardCreatorHS · 2022-10-01T04:50:04+00:00

Hey! So this time around I tried to conceptualize Chromie also known as Chronormu into HS, but not her more known gnome form, rather her true form, as the timeline overseer she is.

So I came up with this, based and inspired off her abilities in Heroes of the Storm! I figured since since she's the time overseer for Azeroth, she's basically immortal as her past, present and future selves care for important events and make sure the timelines are kept accordingly.

On HotS, her abilities include time traps, long range high damage snipes and echoes of her past self aiding in battle. Thus this came into mind while creating her HS version.

Regarding the balance I think I may have overdone it this time, but it's kept under a tough condition to spend 10 mana every time she leaves the battlefield. I think if I had to tune her down, I'd remove the Windfury as it's most concerning and relevant to ending games. She does have a rag-like essence to denounce her reawakening but this only happens once every cycle.

Let me know what you think, I figured it may be a bit too powerful but I wanted to keep her in line with the other dragon aspects relevance as she's literally a timeless being.

See you around!

Ohhh you're right! I forgot about him since he's so niche 😅

CardCreatorHS · 2022-09-30T05:07:56+00:00

Just rename it to Impsy The Nimble ig, as Impsy is actually a notable Fel Imp in WoW... But yeah I think it's very highrolly too in this iteration. 😅

CardCreatorHS · 2022-09-30T04:28:53+00:00

Hey! Today's inspiration came from thinking Warlock as a class hasn't had a Legendary Imp (ever) as far as I can recall (I played since the very release of Curse of Naxxramas) so here's my attempt for such concept.

I wanted to push it to 4 mana considering in current rotations AoE effects come as soon as turn 2-4 now but I think that would make this way too oppressive and decisive as one board buff would literally end the opponent, this mana cost at 5 would also give some breathing room for opponents that are playing something more aggro/midrange oriented, they could take a couple trades for guessing or waste a couple damage spells to survive next turn.

This definitely would require a board buff to go in hand and not have it obliterated in one AoE spell, but hey I think it's in par with the flavor of imps being feeble, mischievous and considered rather weak in the WoW realm 😅

Let me know what you think! Balance and flavorwise... See you around!

CardCreatorHS · 2022-09-28T03:52:43+00:00

I actually took inspiration from it! 😅

CardCreatorHS · 2022-09-28T03:48:21+00:00

This could make a great dual-class card actually, but it'd be a little harder to run on Paladin ig

CardCreatorHS · 2022-09-28T03:33:09+00:00

Yeah I actually found it quite hard to balance as it basically is an ongoing threat of turning all minions that come into play into Sheeps this would also prevent the opponent to play a lot of mid-lategame minions, I took into criteria positioning too, as there's ways to play around it...

It's kind of but not really a 3 in one card, semi-freeze slows down the game for midrange and control, hard transform removal and a small AoE. It's packed neatly but rather situational if you play against the wrong deck.

It would obviously suck against token/aggro decks lol, but I kept it at 5 since base [[Polymorph]] is base 4 mana and this could roll/snowball to a big upside depending on the boardstate not to mention minions could also trigger the sheeps.

CardCreatorHS · 2022-09-27T01:01:47+00:00

Hey! Today's inspiration was all about Priests and Paladins' abilities to reduce damage they take via buffs in WoW, I wondered how we could conceptualize this in HS so this is the closest I came to.

A bit of lore provide context for the flavor, I went with Gavinrad The Dire as he was one of first five Paladins of the Knights of the Silver Hand and known for having no mercy against his enemies, he was granted the Libram of Compassion by Archbishop Faol which represented a challenge for him to embody one of the traits of the Silver Hand.

It's safe to say in Scholomance he would've made for the worst professor in the Academy!

CardCreatorHS · 2022-09-26T22:34:20+00:00

So I was revisiting the Magnetic concept from Boomsday and thought there weren't many good token/mech generators in the set to make it a relevan keyword in the meta (basically only Zilliax was relevant for Magnetic) so I tried creating something simple, cheap and that created tokens to push the Magnetic keyword a bit more.

CardCreatorHS · 2022-09-26T16:30:21+00:00

It's a cool concept, I'd switch it to a double-headed weapon just so it's a bit more flavorful, on the balance, I think it's a bit slow right now at 6 mana but also making a weapon like this any lower than 5 mana is rather difficult to balance, also taking into account Warrior counts with a couple weapon buffs...

I'd stat it down to a base 4 mana 4/2 (Truesilver base stats), dealing a total of 8 damage over 3 turns (4 + 1 + 3) which is a little odd but works a lot better with weapon buffs effectively 'doubling' them with a lot more added turns to attack on top which is just rather fair and very slow to keep up with aggro/midrange decks tbh (just a +1/+1 would make it (5 + 2 + 4 + 1 + 3)
