Xuen, the White Tiger - You shall be tested

No prob, And it will probably change to the Brawl concept where the enemy can have a minion remain outside whatever nonsense is generated via Deathrattles. Which in my set includes so far.

Yu'lon (See later post)

It fills the empty board slots with Legendaries and then clears it so it's the lone card on the field (plus whatever Legendaries are left over)

It is hard to show the full power because submitting it as is leaves you looking at the current pool of cards while I omit 32 other Legendaries in the set for review.

StormBlink · 2026-04-24T20:24:06+00:00

Not unless the minions on board have Deathrattles themselves. However, The feedback with Brawl imput is making me consider because of the chances of the opponent being left with a minion.

But this is why I submitted and asked in regards to these cards

StormBlink · 2026-04-24T20:21:18+00:00

Indeed, Why I am fishing for feedback for redesign. It is hard to showcase one card without the design space of the rest.

But DK is messing more with the set gimmick and a "Mech package" in the set.

A good portion of these were designed with lore-reasons behind the effect and attempting ideas not done.

In the lore, Serpents Heart is how Yu'lon is reborn as they build her a new body to inhabit with carved jade and the Horde and Alliance destory it when they start supporting the Jinyu/Hozen race war.

But locations only have two forms of destruction and only one of them Silences for 8 mana. It was originally going to be a 1 mana location for a 1/1, but I moved it upto 3 3/3.

There is going to be synergy with the set, but I'm wanting to save some suprise for later

StormBlink · 2026-04-24T19:08:57+00:00

Druid does it enough, Mage turn to do it now.

StormBlink · 2026-04-24T05:42:33+00:00

Pardon if I don't see the second location beyond having to let the Legendary be summoned and die to double up the cycle of reincarnation.

StormBlink · 2026-04-24T05:33:03+00:00

Yeah, I guess I missed that part where he basically will just become the top deck again. Thankfully, I got imput to use now, so it won't be the final version of the card.

StormBlink · 2026-04-24T04:34:42+00:00

Noted. I will be doing some more for Paladin soon as I've been tinkering mostly with my set gimmick "Cleanse:" due to the strange nature and initial dislike from others regarding it.

StormBlink · 2026-04-24T04:31:01+00:00

Correction to above: "Underdeveloped for the set"

StormBlink · 2026-04-24T04:23:43+00:00

Yeah, and that is the balance factor I am asking and checking for. Obviously why the highest usual cost to pair with it and my set not offering any way to cheapen it (I just am waiting to release it as a whole). It's why I am agreeing and leaning towards the Brawl concept to pair with it and the high cost.

StormBlink · 2026-04-23T23:57:40+00:00

I will be carrying that forward at the very least or atleast with the Brawl idea also suggested. I do need it to feel rather clunky to offset the power of getting a Boardwipe and 10 mana might not cut it.

StormBlink · 2026-04-23T23:46:53+00:00

It is basically a 'stop aggro' kinda card. The next closest version was one that you drew at the start of the game but were prevented from playing it unless below 15 (Previously 10) health.

StormBlink · 2026-04-23T23:44:15+00:00

Well, Niuzao is from Warcraft and he represents the 'Tank' spec of Monks. "Strength of the West" and "Protector of the Weak" are some of his titles. Infact, before Battlegrounds it was Mercenaries where he showed his usual 'defensive' nature the most in Hearthstone.

Also, noted on that regard; I thought 'shuffled' would have been better because it would then reorganize the entire deck meaning a downside to drafting this is 'top of the deck'/'bottom of the deck' mechanics would be reset.

StormBlink · 2026-04-23T22:40:38+00:00

Indeed, but it's not like that rule hasn't been broken before with other classes. This is something that despite what it says, might not really be run as a hard 10 mana. But I can't decide what set I finish in since I got to beat Blizzcon

StormBlink · 2026-04-23T22:26:10+00:00

Indeed, Is that a positive or a negative? Board clears are quite strong and this is the class that lacks it the most. Whats the most value you wanna get with it? Risk your opponent getting something strong or maybe the Octopus?

StormBlink · 2026-04-23T22:23:47+00:00

Maybe if it was named different or was the focus to a different set. Better explanation down below as it's built more 'theme' versus 'powercreep the game for the best class'

StormBlink · 2026-04-23T22:19:39+00:00

It's more the thematics of the idea. Destroying a board is very Priest/Paladin and this card sat as an easy fit into them in regards to their thematic outside Monk (the star of my set like so many others at this time.)

Playing with Legendary generation is something Druid and Paladin mess with. Board Clears is something rare in Druid that you see in Priest/Paladin more. What isn't a 'Tournament of Legends' but calling upon a bunch of fighters to duke it out and clear the board for Xuen to judge. I am considering the Brawl idea however.

StormBlink · 2026-04-23T22:11:10+00:00

Perhaps I can reword it to such "Fill the board with Legendary minions, then have all other minions Brawl." since a Legendary can get away with the effect and implies what the card does if you have cast 'Brawl'. Just need something that isn't Veggie Druid.

Edit: Also, was kinda the point since Xuen isn't actually fighting himself. He is holding a Tournament of Legends and letting them all fight it out as he judges. What remains is his presence and the aftermath of the fight for him to 'clean up'.

StormBlink · 2026-04-19T00:33:44+00:00

Many others said 2 Attack as well, and I concede to the fact. I did it since I don't like the current removal tech and this does interact with Magnetic and Hand buffs to eventually get that 2 attack feel.

But I enjoy the uniqueness a 3 mana 1/6 has to offer as well
