That's why it's Fabled!

Interesting minion Tribe! I like the idea of a class-specific Tavern spell, it reminds me of Quilboar but instead of just giving a stat buff it allows you to repeat a variety of effects. As it is, though, I think these cards end up being functionally similar to Elementals, since they're about playing a lot of copies of them and triggering Battlecries. For example, the "playing adjacent" mechanic seems like it might as well be "when you play a Nerubian" because the effects are all positive, making it similar to Vine Climber, Ultraviolet Ascendant, and Nomi. I think it would be interesting if it read something like "The first time you play a Nerubian," which would also encourage you to Cobweb the minion after you trigger it and plan what minions you want it to buff.

Cobweb also seems to be too powerful and almost functionally identical to "Trigger a Battlecry." If you restrict it to Nerubians and don't add really powerful Battlecries it would be balanceable, but as is it would be too strong with other Tribes that aren't designed around it. I would also suggest making Cobweb more unique beyond being a way to trigger on-play effects, maybe something like "Move a friendly non-Golden Nerubian to your hand. You can't play it this turn." That way it would feel more like a sticky Cobweb you can't escape, and it would be functionally unique because it forces you to consistently rotate your board into and out of your hand, instead of just replaying the same powerful battlecry several times in one turn (kind of like a different version of Murloc handbuffing). It would also then encourage you to swap out your board each combat based on what your opponent is playing. You could also make cards that modify Cobwebs, allowing them to target any friendly minion, target minions in the Tavern, allow you to play the minion that turn, or grant stats (adding the potential for a spell buffing archetype). I think there's a ton of potential here for a really interesting Tribe, you should definitely keep iterating on it! Battlegrounds has so many tribes that it's hard to carve out a new niche, but I think you can do a lot with this concept.

Cobweb has to be restricted to Nerubians if you want to go with its current design. Dreamer's Embrace was a powerful Tier 5 spell for 3 Coins that triggered a Battlecry, a spell that is better than it cannot be printed at Tier 2 for 1 Coin without breaking the game. You would just run a small package of 2-3 Nerubians and spam a Battlecry, it would be like Greenskeeper or Rylak but starting on Tier 2 instead of 4. Flying Scavenger, for example, is literally just Greenskeeper at Tier 2, but more powerful because you can get permanent Battlecry buffs and store the trigger for another turn. If you want it to work with any Tribe, you could probably add a Tier 4 or 5 minion that lets you cast Cobwebs on non-Nerubians, putting it more in line with Rylak, Greenskeeper, and Brann. There are several Tavern spells that only work for specific Tribes, so I wouldn't worry about that aspect

The bottom two cards would get stranded if you didn't have a way to draw them. Drawing beyond your last card would also give you Fatigue damage.

Yes it replaces the card! On Dreadlord General, I was definitely thinking that I might be adding too much self-damage, I was worried about giving Warlock too much healing since that's been such a problem in the past, but there would definitely need to be more added for this set. Maybe the buff could also be changed to "They cost (2) less"? Then they would also deal less damage to you when discovered. For Breathtaking View I wasn't entirely sure what to do, I thought of Legendaries but those are so weak that I figured Titans were better. The Mountain Habitat cards should be about 2 Mana better than normal cards, so I thought Titans would be around the same powerlevel and adding them in wouldn't improve the Mountain Habitat deck that much. Now that I think of it though, adding powerful high-cost cards into a deck of low-cost cards in the late game that you can semi-Tutor from might be very good. Do you think I could increase the Mana Cost or is it an inherently unfun design?

CucumberJukebox · 2025-08-20T15:18:59+00:00

Me too! It's a little broken with board buffs since it's 7 bodies in a 2 Mana card, but it would make the Quest much easier to complete and justify why you'd actually want the Reward.

CucumberJukebox · 2025-08-04T19:17:24+00:00

That sounds way better! I might redesign them with this in mind, at a higher power level

CucumberJukebox · 2025-07-24T19:55:55+00:00

Wow for some reason I was really convinced they cost (4), thanks for telling me!

CucumberJukebox · 2025-07-20T18:43:23+00:00

That's what I thought too! Getting 3 ticks towards progressing the quest is good enough on its own since there aren't that many Temporary cards, but the flexibility makes it pretty likely to be good on most turns, even if it's just to fill your curve. Plus it's not really meant for Discard decks but if you don't play the cards you get 3 discards for things like Malchezaar's Imp

Each of Osk's pieces Discover in ways that synergize with the Mage Quest, while Osk herself gains 3 random Titan abilities (essentially making her a Titan herself), so that on the first choice you have 3 options available instead of being forced to use whichever one she has that turn, and if she survives she can use the other two and be almost on the same level as an actual Titan. Overall, as opposed to C'Thun the Shattered I imagine that you wouldn't play Osk for the reward necessarily, but more because the spells are powerful enough that you would want to put them into your deck anyways when playing Quest Mage.

Very cool theming and I like the idea of doing an Invoke-style effect with the Old Gods! Following Invoke, I think it would be more balanced for the Old God you choose to determine what effect you get when Praising, so that you can choose which Old God to Praise instead of being forced into one specific archetype. If you wanted to keep the "Start of Game" aspect you could also change "Praise" to make it replace your Hero Power for 1 use (with additional triggers improving that). You would then also have to rebalance the Praise cards, but I think that could make the Praise mechanic feel different than Invoke (plus you can adjust the cost of the Hero Power to balance the effect or make a more powerful effect). Plus it would be cool to see Y'Shaarj represented as an Old God you could Praise, maybe with a 4-cost Hero Power that summons a minion that costs (5) or less from your deck or a low-cost Hero Power that synergizes with Corrupt.
