[@Jukantos]

It really would be a cool keyword mechanic though. Like "Vigilance" or "Vigil" or something :) Imagine a priest buff: Give a minion "Vigil: Gain +2 +2. This minion has Taunt until the start of your turn". Could also just print that on a minion - a minion that specifically gains taunt when it has not attacked. (and of course i'm thinking of throwing that priest buff on Ancient Watcher, it'd probably be a 3 mana spell)

[@Arrakiz666]

@@Jukantos My thoughts exactly, this "if you don't attack, do x" thing might be a goldmine of an idea. If nothing else it would further incentivize longer, more value-oriented games which is the direction HS seems to be heading anyway. There's also a very interesting "push & pull" element to it, where you could put that effect on a card with high attack or rush, so you _want_ to attack with it, but also _don't want_ to attack with it to get that effect.

[@Jukantos]

@@Arrakiz666 And it could allow for the printing of some "overpowered" anti-aggro cards that can be way overloaded with stats specifically only when not attacking. Similar to what the "Tar Creeper" kind of minion was already doing, only taken to an even bigger extreme.

[@Joshuathegreatest7]

@1 3 Yeah, I can understand your opinion on the subject, when compared to games like Magic The Gathering, Cardfight Vanguard, and Yugioh, Hearthstone does feel pretty bare boned. But I think that it's the fact that HS has such few taglines and keywords, that makes the game so easy to pick up to the point where it can become a game that you can just play once every few months, and still have a understanding of the rules. This game is meant to be pure random at low tier to give anyone a chance, with more luck manipulation at the high tier involving unit placement and counting. But That can get really annoying for people expecting complex strategy and gameplay. I feel like one of the strengths of HS is the fact that it's a gateway TCG to other paths that has a loving community in it as well, even if Blizzard doesn't like it. XD Though If you really want the ability to just ignore taunts and pierce them, I'd suggest Demon Hunter who literally does that with cards like Kayn Sunfury, or any of the splash damage cards. Hit face, Misplace. :D TLDR: You are very correct, but there's more to the game in those regards in higher teirs. Kayn Sunfury gives "Flight" But MTG is probably better still. I personally like Card Fight Vanguard More :D

[@RobertsBoissiere]

[@SpecterVonBaren]

Trump says that giving Slumbering Ancient variable dormant durations messes with the keyword but it doesn't. All of the dormant cards specify that they are Dormant for 2 turns EXCEPT for Magtheridon who only comes out of Dormant when 3 Warders die and also Lucentbark who has Dormant when it dies and comes out of it if you restore five health. Dormant is already not limited to being 2 turns by design.

[@blahthebiste7924]

True. And I can't believe he knocked off 3 design stars for that when the card is great design otherwise.

[@ArceusShaymin]

This is a good catch - Dormant's keyword consistency isn't "asleep for two turns, then comes out with an effect", it's just "asleep until the triggering condition awakens it". It *just so happens* that most Dormant cards have the condition "once two turns have passed".

[@CityState_of_Valletta]

I think a 4 mana 6/6 with rush on turn 5 is pretty strong- even if the opponent saw it coming. Also makes the card that much more readible and fit the theme of Druid choose one cards; Taunt or Aggressive stats/ keywords without muddling it to much. (Choose One, Dormant, Secretly, a bit to process for a non-legendary. But a secretly awakening dormant minion could be fun- maybe just gets +1/1 for each turn it's dormant like Shade of Naxxramas accept uninteractable and you can't pull out of your decision early could be a fun kind of neutral legendary. Grul but sleepy. Not sure what range of options you'd have for Awakening though- as the ui might get kind of clumped if you can choose 1-10 on mobile.

[@ArceusShaymin]

@@CityState_of_Valletta Except it's not a 4 mana 6/6 Rush on turn 5. It's a 4 mana **5/5** Rush. If you chose to wait two turns instead, then it becomes a 4 mana 7/7 (haha) Taunt on turn 6. Very important distinction to make.

[@DramakilzU]

The non-attack keyword should be something like Passive or Pacifist. Also, it's important to note that the effect should only trigger when the minion is able to attack but doesn't. That means that unless the minion has charge or rush the turn you play it, it doesn't get to trigger at the end of turn because it can't attack. Also, it has to have a valid target, so giving the minion Rush on an opponent's empty board also doesn't allow the trigger.

[@Meca-Mat]

The Mothergloop + Mindrender Illucia (2 turns later) = Archbishop Benedictus + Azari, the Devourer Not sure if that's balanced.

[@RaventhortheWarrior]

Slumbering Ancient seems to break the dormant 2 turn theme accurately. It's getting rush in 1 turn, because you're waking it up early, making it angry and attack immediately, at least that's what the flavor seems like to me.

[@Powersd451]

Good point, I like it. Also in it's defense, the card wouldn't even actually violate the keyword anyway, since dormant *isn't* about awakening in 2 turns. The first 2 minions with dormant were The Darkness and Lucentbark, theirs and the later Magtheradon's awakening aren't tied to 2 turns. It's just that the bulk of minions released with the keyword happened to have waiting 2 turns as the trigger.

[@gabrile23]

11:35 Armistice was the first thing that came to my mind when I read the card.

[@TheSilvershadow200]

Aw man, I also came up with that last effect like 4 years ago. What I called it was a keyword named 'Channel' and one of my cards was with Charge AND Channel. You can tell how that would play out.

[@onekoff8480]

Thanks for showcasing my card as a trump card of the week :D About Taunt, I probably thought back then that this won't be defensive enough to get just 8 Armor. I mean, it's turn 8 we are talking about, and spending 8 mana to simply get 8 Armor might not be the best idea, especially against aggro. By adding Taunt I solved two possible problems: first, made the decision of not attacking more viable, since deal 8 damage can be worth much more than gain 8 Armor (1 Mana Iron Hide spell costed 1, and nobody played that), and second: made it a stronger 8-Mana drop, at least on the defensive side. It can also be considered a somewhat nerf, since you could hide it behind other Taunts to get more armor, but it's like another card for another strategy. Cyclops Blacksmith, as it is now, is a self-sufficient card.

[@deluxeloy]

The unlucky bystander is interesting in that the more you buff its stats, the worse its card text gets.

[@ShadowMasterBearer]

Why?

[@deluxeloy]

@@ShadowMasterBearer The better its stats are, the more valuable it is to you. Its text makes it vulnerable, so it can draw away attention from your good minions. So if it IS your good minion, that's its downfall.

@@deluxeloy that's the balance tho?

[@TheSpriteStory]

@@deluxeloy yeah exactly that’s the balance lmao

point is, if the stats are weak, you would want it to be targeted over your other, stronger minions, thus making it an upside.

[@SuperSonicBlur]

Question, if Sarah Soulstealer read "deathrattle: go dormant, when you draw a soul shard, awaken" would that be more or less op?

[@PopeMical]

It would be weak. The card is aggressively stated making it good for early game, but the odds to draw soul shards early is very low. Not only that but with dormant it means that the turn you do draw the soul shard to awaken, you can't attack.

12:45 An interesting question for this effect, does it trigger the turn you play this minion? As in does the Cyclops give you 8 armor immediatly despite not being able to attack in the first place? From the current wording it implies that this would work, as the only requirement is to not attack, regardless of whether or not you could.

[@onekoff8480]

Yes, it would work. I thought it wouldn't be as good if it did nothing on the turn it's been summoned.

[@Alter292]

Haha! Reminds me of that garbage skeleton knight from TGT. 6 mana 7/4 deathrattle if you win the joust return it to hand. So if you were to change the effect like that, you would have to fiddle around with the numbers again. Return to hand can be a benefit in that you can replay it after you fill up on more fragments or at least stop yourself from exhausting all of them. This is not the case if the minion is already over-costed though. Resummoning makes for a more interesting effect in my opinion, but turning it into say a 2 mana 4/2 with your intended effect might make it very playable if not pushing the power level.

Slumbering ancient's design is also problematic due to the turn counter of dormant minions. This card will have no way of displaying that, unless maybe you put a question mark where the turn counter used to be?

[@jlgaming5995]

I think that cyclops blacksmith should have rush instead of taint because both you and your opponent have the option to trade or not

[@Kleavers]

So wont Cyclops give you an 8/8 body AND 8 armor the turn it comes out? Seems very strong.

[@wastagwaga]

8:18 It's a priest card, then.

I’m pretty sure Sarah Soulstealer would be pretty balanced as a 4 mana 4/2. In Warlock, I feel like you’d see this card pop up in control decks, serving a similar purpose to Rattlegore, acting as a way to set up your clears or take trades. I honestly don’t think you’d run this minion in DH. Aggro DH doesn’t focus on running soul cards, with the two 1/3s being normally the extent of it. And it often runs cards like Acrobatics or Stiltstepper which discourage adding more soul fragments to your deck. Even in Soul DH, which is where I’d expect to see this card, you run into the DH issue of you just burn through your deck, and thus your soul fragments. None of your clears benefit from her being on board, and value isn’t the Soul DH game plan. You would much rather burn a soul shard for +5 attack than you would to summon a 4/2. It just doesn’t seem like a card you would want to play.

[@PopeMical]

Print Sarah Soulstealer when there isn't cards that have anti-synergy with soul fragments and it slots in as a powerful midrange/aggro card that'll lock down a board you are ahead with for Demon Hunter.

Keyword for Cyclops Blacksmith = Patience:

[@eyle6839]

The cyclops should be an ogre or an ettin that fits the lore

[@Zaner1s1]

The keyword can be something like meditation or concentration

[@g-rated-g]

Fel Portal with Yogg/Box. Doesn't wild already have enough problems?

[@mackenzieharris4252]

Does basically the same as myras unstable element off of a random spell doesn't it?

[@VialofNMTears]

Fel portal would be the worst random spell to get off yogg or other random spell effects

[@HasekuraIsuna]

Not much worse than Cataclysm or Astral Communion

[@cathsaigh2197]

Fel Portal from a Yogg effect would be pretty sad in a non-demon deck.

[@masterplusmargarita]

Fel Portal into next turn Elysianna Sathrovarr is... Neat? I don't know how strong it is, but it's a good way to mitigate the downside

[@PopeMical]

Yes and no. The longer you wait to play Fel Portal the worse your deck becomes, as you draw the demons you wanted to discount, and you only have about a 43% chance to draw both after drawing 20 of your 30 card deck.

[@frostymane7628]

Sarah soul stealer is a really cool card

[@michaellatner975]

Mecha'thun combo with Fel Portal?

[@mastegoh7139]

Dormant only lasts one turn in the garrosh adventure (anduin's hero power)

[@velva5394]

It says “this turn”

[@SpecterVonBaren]

And Magtheridon comes out of dormant once 3 Warders die.

[@PopeMical]

that's a single player adventure where breaking effects is way more common.

[@tarille1043]

Dormant lasts indefinitely until a specific effect triggers in the case of The Darkness, Magtheridon, Lucentbark and Sherazin. The 2 turn dormancy was only for the one expansion's Dormant cards. But then again, this is Blizzard. They don't like keywords so they'd probably replace "Dormant" with some asinine alternative like they did with Echo > Repeatable this turn

[@briananggrawang7587]

6:38 dual class without scholomancer logo? Remove 2 stars

[@Begeru]

Cyclops Blacksmith should be an Epic card like Cenarion Ward. I agree it should also lose Taunt to be fair.

[@danielstudsgaard835]

The Mothergloop is unfun? what about tickatus?
