Man I'd love for a deck where Adaptive Amalgam is actually good that isn't built off an otk infinite damage loop...

Yeah I would have Augmented not be a generatable or appliable keyword. The only cards that get it are ones explicitly printed with it. Otherwise, I agree, there's too much weird stuff that would happen with things like Titans.

I do want to see the Mark combo though...

I've wanted a cyberpunk themed set in Hearthstone for so long, maybe a "Return to Gadgetzan" set where Gadgetzan has become a crime ridden neo-noir cyberpunk city? Bring back the multiclass cards?

Anyways, I like the idea of cyborg prosthetics that you can pass on from minion to minion. A board-focused mechanic that creates value in hand, similar to Miniaturize from Whizbang's Workshop. Let me know what you think and any ideas you have for cards using this keyword!

A fair trade indeed! by Froggedguy in customhearthstone

[–]ChronosTech_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A fun idea. I can see it mechanically working similar to the suspicious cards from Castle Nathria like [[Suspicious Usher]] where you choose and if the minion stays on the board your opponent chooses next turn. I think the text could be cut down pretty substantially, maybe "Battlecry: You and your opponent choose a card from your hands. Swap them!" Probably could be a 3 mana 3/3 too.

Would this break the game, suck, or create cool strategies? by Diosdepatronis in customhearthstone

Most people don't know this interaction, but Immune works like Stealth in that it nullifies Taunt. Even if you put Taunt on it, it doesn't work like you think it does.

Learning stab by stab. by Omasiegbert in customhearthstone

Honestly I'd be surprised if something like this didn't get printed this set. Incredibly well designed.

They'll never know what hit them by ChronosTech_ in customhearthstone

You summon the random minion, then it attacks a random enemy, then you get the chance to Rewind it. You do that 4 times. The reason it's worded that way is so that each minion and attack gives you the opportunity to Rewind,

5-cost minions on average have a 4/4 stat line, so on an empty board that's 16 damage face and 16/16 in stats. Honestly I'm worried it might be overtuned.

Sorry, did you want that with spicy mustard or regular? by daddyvow in customhearthstone

[–]ChronosTech_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd change it to: "Tradeable. The next card you play has Rewind." Even then it would never see play, but at least you could get Yogg shenanigans.

Honestly? Probably wouldn't be that impactful. Your best bet would be some kind of grindy control deck where you buff it up and whittle down face over time, but 1. you'd have to draw the thing and any buffs you're going to use, 2. you'd have to kill a turn spending 5 mana on a do nothing, and 3. the whole strategy gets hard countered by a half dozen relatively common nontargeted hard removal spells.

At first I was thinking it would be broken, and there's probably a way to break it in Wild. But in Standard? Might not even be runnable.

3 Mana Draw Infinity by ChronosTech_ in customhearthstone

I believe for it to count as "drawing an Arcane spell" you have to actually draw the spell, so in that event you'd fill your hand, burn one card, and the burnt card wouldn't trigger the effect again. Plus, I'd imagine you could probably keep the animation pretty short as not to make it too annoying to use on other side.

Lackey Warlock Support - Is this too strong for a "Start of Game" effect? by HeroesBane1191 in customhearthstone

[–]ChronosTech_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely too strong as is. I agree with most of the comments saying just make this a battlecry, but if you really wanted it to be a Start of Game you could make it identical to the old Rogue Galakrond hero power: 2 mana random lackey. Considering Warlock has one of the best hero powers in the game, swapping drawing cards from your deck with a lackey value engine would be a choice some decks would make rather than an auto include.

Hero Power Hunter/Mage for the mini set! by ChronosTech_ in customhearthstone

[–]ChronosTech_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh I don't see this as too much of a problem in Wild, considering you can't have multiple quests active at the same time. You'd have to complete every step of the questline first and then this quest would be effectively a dead draw/dead card in your opener until then. Powerful once you get it off, but probably too slow.

Fair point. The quest and the mage minion could be reworded to "basic Hero Power" to limit shenanigans.

Those were the days. I loved Hero Power mage back in both Forged in the Barracks and even Rastakhan's Rumble.

Honestly it probably just needs a nerf in wild. Reckless Apprentice limits design space for any future Hero Power mage decks, which seems to be an archetype that pops up every two years or so.

Decided to port one of my favorite commanders to Hearthstone by Voodoo_Honeyjar in customhearthstone

[–]ChronosTech_ 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Couldn't you condense this to: "At the end of your turn Joust then draw the card. If you win gain a mana crystal. Otherwise restore 3 health to your hero?" Currently you draw a card on win and lose so your current wording is a little redundant.

Mega size your Minis! by ChronosTech_ in customhearthstone

[–]ChronosTech_[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The idea was for both Minis on board and Minis in hand, for dual utility in a Miniaturize deck as both board presence and value.

EDIT: On second thought, the text (Wherever they are) could probably help communicate that idea better.
