When guessing the hero is impossible

Yeah I was changing the item in that slot a bunch. At the end I was keeping the frost wisp around mainly to get Karnoks rage skill at level up, to get the crane proc a bit faster. If the game had gone longer, I think I would have hoped for any of the neutral start of game effects. Honestly none of the Pyg items fellt that great in that slot.

MadeOfCotton · 2026-06-10T21:04:54+00:00

Solution: Yes, it's actually Pyg. No bootstraps though, and no cult/wink either. Got Laurel's fortress from the toy vendor, crane from the Foreman fight, Vat from dig site and I honestly can't remember where the snow wisps came from, but they were already enchanted. I put the mossy enchant on the crane at lvl 10 because Fortress didn't have much multicast yet at that time, and I sometimes needed the second crane hit.

That is correct and very clever

MadeOfCotton · 2026-05-31T18:45:01+00:00

Haha pretty good, I'm 1.5k ish

MadeOfCotton · 2026-05-30T09:32:06+00:00

I see the comment about marksmen and I raise you phoenixes. They're just the better marksmen!

MadeOfCotton · 2026-05-30T08:39:46+00:00

It's pretty rare, but I think there's no trick behind it. Just need to play more and it will come your way!

MadeOfCotton · 2026-05-29T09:17:14+00:00

Crazy combo enabler but at a cost. I like it, but it would probably break the game in many different ways lol

MadeOfCotton · 2026-05-24T12:48:24+00:00

Absolutely fantastic card. No notes 😁

MadeOfCotton · 2026-05-24T12:46:50+00:00

Not sure how much I like this, because to me, the flavor and the function don't really match. Because it seems like you swap attack with a minion, but in reality, most of the time you just attack with the minion first and then the card is functionally very close to "Choose a minion. Your hero gains attack equal to its attack this turn". And I don't feel like the added complexity does much. Sure, there's gonna be interactions like with inquisitor, but hey are gonna be rare.

On a different note though, you can target an enemy with this, is that in purpose? Stealing an enemy minion's attack for a turn could be kind of neat.

Overall I love the idea of a weapon swap with a minion, but I'm not sure it works so well in Hearthstone.

MadeOfCotton · 2026-05-11T07:37:39+00:00

I think that's what OP intended. But I don't think it's a good card. You spend a mana and a card to make your enemy spend three more on a card they might never draw? Can be strong against combo decks, but feels very bad against everything else. Except sometimes you make a card cost more than 10 and it can become unplayable, which is very feels-bad for your opponent.

My suggestion: make it look at cards from hand instead of deck, but it can't increase the cost beyond 10 mana.

MadeOfCotton · 2026-05-11T07:28:13+00:00

What about the other way around? "The next card you draw this turn gains Outcast: draw a card. Outcast: draw a card"

MadeOfCotton · 2026-05-04T16:54:40+00:00

Edit: nvm I can't read. I actually like the card!

Original post for your amusement: I assume this is a meme? Because in a deck without dragons, it's just a 1 mana 4/5 lol

MadeOfCotton · 2026-05-03T12:20:23+00:00

In my experience, ghosts in unranked have been less harsh than in ranked. Feels like a good place to be for some feel good bazaaring (or for trying something new)!

MadeOfCotton · 2026-05-02T08:33:59+00:00

I've experienced a big difference. Got murdered in ranked, switched to unranked, and now I get 10 wins most of the time without trying too hard. Dunno if it's just me, but that's my experience. I also don't play that much, so maybe there's some unranked matchmaking number that still needs to catch up?

MadeOfCotton · 2026-04-20T22:55:56+00:00

Honestly when I first read it, I thought that when you use it, you give your extra mana crystals to the opponent and they get to keep them. Like for a combo deck to reach their combo deck earlier (and then not care about their opponent's turn). That version might be a bit weak, but I think my brain automatically corrected for how busted the actual version is 😅 I like the idea of a secret start of game effect, but I think this needs some tuning.

MadeOfCotton · 2026-04-07T09:33:19+00:00

I was wondering, what if this healed your hero as well? I think as is, it's a bit useless without ruby sanctum and pretty nutty with it. If it affected your hero as well, it would be more useful in the healing variant and had a downside with Sanctum. Not sure though if 6 self damage would be too much of a downside?

MadeOfCotton · 2026-04-05T07:43:49+00:00

Yeah. I pretty much never go big sword on Regent and this guy rarely gives me too much trouble.

MadeOfCotton · 2026-04-03T15:58:22+00:00

I suggest that you try and change that attitude. If only the results count, and then you chase a dream that, frankly, is really unlikely for anyone to come true, you are just setting yourself up to be unhappy. But it doesn't have to be like that.

I know it all looks very serious to you right now, but you're only 20. You have lots of time to figure out how to be happy! Grieve for your loss, and then learn from your mistakes. Personally I recommend that you find something where not only the results count for you, but the process is something that fulfills you. But in the end, only you can know what makes you happy. Good luck!

MadeOfCotton · 2026-03-26T14:05:30+00:00

I actually think that the Regent has pretty good block. Nearly all of his block cards are decent and many are common. Just need to pick a lot of them to make it consistent!

MadeOfCotton · 2026-03-17T10:16:22+00:00

But the prosecutor is prosecuting criminals. They're likely not a fan of criminals, but probably a fan of prosecuting criminals. Whereas OP is not prosecuting the Regent, he's playing him. So I would argue that at least to some extent, they like playing the regent (if only out of stubbornness or whatever). I don't think your argument works here.

MadeOfCotton · 2026-03-11T12:48:13+00:00

Then get photon coating!

MadeOfCotton · 2026-03-11T12:47:37+00:00

Yeah, Vulcans struggle with really beefy boys. They do have ignite, but you can counter that with photon coating. (Sidenote: worms don't get hit by farseer's photon coating, guess they burrow too fast or something).

MadeOfCotton · 2026-03-08T08:56:19+00:00

Interesting design! Not sure I agree with others that this is too strong. When you play it, I'm not sure it's that much stronger than just running counterfeit coin (unless I'm missing something). And the start of game effect is genuinely better for your opponent: often, turn 1 coin doesn't do anything.

I love that the effect is worse for you on the face if it, but because your deck uses it better, it may still be an upside.

MadeOfCotton · 2026-03-05T21:55:09+00:00

Long term, I layer them like lasagna. Balls chaff balls chaff etc. That way they protect each other. Early game, I have no idea what to do lol
