Time Travel in Hearthstone?! Top Custom Cards of the Week

[@GKplus8]

The one thing With Remulos is that as is it *has* to be chosen each time or you lose him. To get his full benefit, your choose one spells can't be played normally, or else you he goes away since he is only on the "next" one.

[@azelynhirano]

You can control when Remulos dies, so you can summon him, use a higher value Choose One card and then run Remulos into something. This method allows you to keep him around without too much trouble. Either way, Remulos needs to be a really good minion for Druids players to put in weak Choose One cards to play around Remulos.

[@blahthebiste7924]

@@azelynhirano Coldtooth Mine is already run. Tempo Druid has usually had no issues running Living Seed. I just don't think that choose-one cards are ever really niche or weak enough to be unrunnable... That said, it might be hard to pry Carpenter and Nourish from the current Druid decks.

Toki's "from the past" wouldn't really be an issue at all as the Witchwood Toki had the same effect

The problem is that generating cards from the past is the kind of effect that should never be good enough to see meta play. (Just like how Yogg caused problems when it saw tournament play)

[@alexandercreef6161]

Based on the way Lazul is worded, I am pretty sure you could just always honorably kill her target. You are not reducing it *below* 0 but *to* 0 and a minion with 0 health dies. I believe the card should read "reduced below 1 health".

[@Hawkster52]

Listening to Trump explain Remulos, I feel like either I or Trump have a different reading of the card. Trump seems to suggest that the deathrattle carries over meaning you get infinite Remulos options but my reading of it is that to keep the "Remulos Train" going, you HAVE to pick it on every choose one card when offered. If you skip the option after Remulos has died, then the option is gone forever. And you wouldn't want to always pick it since there might be better options then a 5/2 rush in certain game states. It's still too strong early game but that changes how the card works significantly.

[@neosovereign]

I agree. Either Trump misinterpreted the card or we have very different opinions of overpowered. This card might be a little strong, but it isn't that crazy at all.

Then he is: 3 mana Deal 5 to a minion, 4 mana + Lose one card Deal 10, 5 mana + Lose 2 cards Deal 15 ... up to 10 mana + Lose 7 cards Deal 40. Im pretty Sure if i need 8 cards to possibly not even clear the whole board, then thats not even close to op.

[@jerlbays7412]

Remulos is essentially the same thing as stewart the steward except you have to 'discard' a card to summon him, and you cant hold onto the effect like stewarts deathrattle as it states only the next choose one card you play will have him. Honestly seems balanced, if not a little weak.

[@Neirean]

Having rush really is a significant difference that you're under-considering - though I do agree it's not necessarily as strong as Trump is saying. Lets you play a low cost unncessary Choose One, summon him, weave in a Nourish or something, then rush him in to have him ready for the next cheap unnecessary Choose One. The rush gives a LOT of flexibility from the lost 'guaranteed' part of the Stewart version. Stewart also clashes with Cariel, and is more vulnerable since he applies only to slow minions. This seems a decent amount better than Stewart, especially since a very low cost repeatable 5 damage removal tool (even if you only use it 2-3 times) is something Druid would REALLY like.

[@TheRomkrom]

Toki might not actually be a control oriented card. I find her quite similar to the previous archvillain Rafaam so she might be more like the top end card of a aggro deck.

[@nejdetorhun5531]

2:52 Forced March would be OP in Wild with Even Paladin

[@Lopoi]

Lazul options could be: "cant be targeted by minions", "cant be damaged by spells", "deathrattle: resummon if it want honorably killed with this deathrattle", "deathrattle: ressummon if it was the only minion to die with this deathrattle" All of those are already mechanics in the game and would avoid things like a taunt minon that cant be removed, since if you cant target a taunt minion (like invunerable) you can bypass it

[@somerandomgamer8504]

Brann + Lazul + a Taunt minion. Now you have a Taunt that can't be damaged by spells or targetted by minions. And now everyone is running Starfish again because that combo is really unhealthy.

[@Lopoi]

​@@somerandomgamer8504 Well, the taunt minion would just not die, but you can still go over it (according to immune rules). But they could also just add a "only 1 fate per minion" limit to avoid that kinda of problem.

5 STAR DESIGN 5 STAR BALANCE MY SEROTONIN IS PEAKING

[@wholehorse]

"Everyone loves turtles!" *Michael Reeves has joined the chat*

[@Zandre1126]

Face me yourself seems like a very overpowered secret imo. Like, in a scenario where you have a taunt minion with decent attack, you're basically giving your minion charge and destroying a minion. If they trade a weak minion in and the decent size taunt minion hits face, it's just a huge amount of damage. If the enemy doesn't have any damage to remove, they could easily just get hit for a ton of damage. I think it would be much more in line at 1 mana to be when a minion attacks your hero, destroy the minion and the hero attacks instead. Then it fits the name of the card much better and doesn't run the risk where it just locks your opponent out of the game. I see it as a vengeful spirit at 1 mana but instead of copying it and dealing damage, you destroy and deal damage for 2 less mana. It just seems so dangerous if you have a big minion and your opponent wants to trade in their poisonous minion into it, we, they get slapped. It seems like a MASSIVELY power creeped GET DOWN. I can't remember the name of the secret but we all know the one. Summon a 2/1 as the target? Or destroy the minion and deal your minion/targets attack to the enemy face.

[@dracoblizzard7944]

The effect you described is laughably weak. The way the author created the card, in the 1 situation where you actually have a big taunt and your opponent only has 1 big guy then it's just reckoning with some face damage. In any other situation it's pretty much a worse version of reckoning because your opponent can proc it with small guys or just not attack temporarily which is nothing new for secrets. It still isn't an impactful enough effect to be played with no secret synergy, which why even make it then if it's not even really a card and more like a blank token that other cards need.

[@BradGreer]

The power of face me yourself is wasting weapon durability IMO.

[@BeefinOut]

Given the title of the video and your reaction to Infinite Toki, it kinda seems like you forgot that Toki, Time-Tinker already exists.

[@Neirean]

Infinite Toki would be sick if the old deck exploded into a temporal animation where the new deck pans past via a 'time travel' animation, as they fly to form the new deck. This lets you get insight into your future plays, so you can strategise a bit (also lets decktracker update for it). Needs testing, but that would add something really novel to this take on the 'Explore Un'Goro' archetype

[@GaveLJorgensson]

09:36 I expect one way to tone down Lazul, Fateseer would be to flip the logic. Make it so a minion cannot be killed in some way rather than have it ONLY be killed in some way. I understand this might change the flavor of the card.

[@Loneshrike]

Lazul should battlecry silence a minion and then do its battlecry. That stops it from stacking its battlecry with brann, and also stops it being used on taunts or combo enablers. They still could give a minion taunt after but it at least makes it more awkward to do. It also should specify being reduced below 1 not 0, meaning it can't die to damage. Spells that steal or shuffle the minion into a deck should work with it as they aren't reducing the minion below 1.

[@myhearn]

THE TURTLE MOVES! just finished listening to Small Gods audio book

[@nikospyridis9579]

The one thing I believe he missed with Face Me Yourself is that, unlike reckoning, the secret triggers during the attack and not after, so it essentially denies the attack completely.

[@yaboikiba4302]

I think Keeper Remulos could join the "dormant until you play/do something X times" gang, effectively changing the restrictive mechanic of either choosing him every time or loosing him forever Maybe make it so you have to play 3-4 Choose One cards to awaken him, that could make him a little bit easier to balance too, since you could always just move the number of cards you have to play up or down. And I don't think he should be printed at the same time as Topior, since most Choose One spells are Nature spells, this will just make it so with each 3rd 3/3 Rush Whelp you summon, you get a free 5/2 Rush dude that will appear again with your next 3rd Whelp, which will make Druid way too oppressive

[@drewpreston6478]

The fact that sea turtles can't put their heads or any limbs into their shells takes some points off for flavor. An eel or something would probably be more realistic.

For Lazul, make it silence the minion first. No way to get multiple fates, no way to lock people out with taunt, sets the minion back to base stats. Would allow buff priest a really strong minion to start buffing, but you'd have to start buffing it on turn 6. Might be op with silence priest though, if that's a thing idk

"you can't have a 9 mana 30/30" *laughs in insatiable devourer*

[@brentramsten249]

i think keeper remulous is more balanced than you believe. his effect only applies to the next 'choose one' spell you cast, which means 3 things: 1. you cant stack him (which makes him weaker on many levels than something like topior) 2. unlike topior you dont get the effect of the spell at all when choosing him as an option. drastically lowing the overall card value (unless you have effects that allow you multiple choose one effects, which i dont believe is currently in the meta?). 3. it has a negative synergy with choose one cards, as you must first cast any non-vital choose one cards in order to actually use choose one effects or you will lose his effect for the rest of the game (the only negative synergy topior has with nature spells is limited board space... whether this is better or worse negative synergy i cannot say for certain)

[@ammarlalji5208]

My fix for lazul would be to discover 2 fates and those are the only way it can be reduced below 1. Make more like and uncertain destiny and like this pretty much every deck will have a may to deal with it while still keeping the interesting interactions

[@hoffl09]

Guest list should cost 2 mana, so it would be in line with the mage and druid draw 3 cards.

[@Skullhawk13]

Druid draw 3 was nerfed to 3 mana. Book of specters is a lot worse as if you’re running one copy you probably want a second. 3 mana draw 3 is fine.

[@hoffl09]

@@Skullhawk13 It was only nerfed because of nourish tbh, what was only used to ramp at this point in time and the deck was op in general, not this card in particular and you only played like 1 or 2 minions in the deck making the card too consistent without any restriction at all. But with guest list you either have to build pure, making you deck worse, or you have like a 1 in 3 chance to discard a card, making it 2 mana draw 2 discard 1, which is anywhere near op in the current meta.

[@doritoisback]

META discussion for Trump, how do we feel about Trumps balance rankings? I feel we're getting a lot of "One star vs Five star" because the ranking appears to be built around the "playability" rankings we get from the card reveals, whether that's intentional or not. I feel like the rank for balance should be adjusted for this series where each "docked star" from 5 is significantly more difficult than that last. For example, a 4 star balance card might need a tiny stat adjustment, where a 3 star might need a significant stat adjustment (like Remulos, the "choose one gets a "deal 5 damage to a minion" option), a 2 star might need a soft redesign to bring the balance back in order (like Remulos being reworked to a 7 mana battlecry like Topior), and a 1 star is where the balance is so egregious that it should just be thrown in the bin. This way, the 2-4 star barriers get used more, and we don't get a "this is going to break the game because it's a yeti at 3 mana, we should up the mana cost to 4" and "this is going to break the game because some of these negative wishes are catastrophic" both being 1 star. Thoughts?

[@jadesprite]

I'm not sure why Remulos got 1 star balance despite him coming up with a variety of ways it could be tweaked to be balanced. Easily 2 star balance if not 3 star; it's not insanely broken but it probably would get a simple nerf... how is that 1 star, not 2 or 3 star? I think he rates on "5 stars playable anything else not" which means it might as well just be a thumbs up/thumbs down system...

[@Neirean]

@@jadesprite I think he rates it on an informal 'strike' system - get enough wrong/strikes, and it defaults to the 1-star "back to the drawing board" rating, regardless of how weak or inconsequential/overpowered it is.

[@hask620]

I mean his rating on godblood droplet was just wrong. It's still infinitely weaker than denathrius despite filling the same roll - a high cost end game card with a high infuse requirement that is a potential win condition in a box. Every method of stopping denathrius - mutanus, theotar, having a board with lots of stats on it already - those all work against godblood droplet too. Except godblood droplet can also be stopped with say, a taunt. Or a poisonous minion on board. Or the mage spell that makes you only take 1 damage at a time. Or the mage secret that destroys an attacking minion. Or freezing trap in hunter making it cost 11 mana and return to hand, effectively killing it. Or lots and lots of other shit. It's a perfectly balanced card when compared with what's actually in the game - trump is just comparing things to how the game was 2 years ago.

[@philipooi94]

@@hask620 Denatrius is the expansion legendary though, why is this normal minion coming even close to him. Also just infusing for a big minion is kinda boring.

I don't get the problem with Godblood Droplet. The devourer infuse card we have right now typically ends up being around a 20/20 (or bigger) AND clears your board with a lower infuse requirement. Is the devourer conditional? Sure, but the way to play around it is "just don't play minions 4Head" and even if it eats an 8/8 and two 1/1s (because you positioned for it) it's STILL huge.

[@ktktktktktktkt]

8:22 This card seems pretty hard to assess without seeing it in play but I've come to the conclusion it's insanely weak. battlecry has no immediate effect pretty much excluding the 5 armour. I thought it might be good in control matchups but it isn't even necessarily. It's not really infinite value because you actually need to draw cards still and in control matchups you might not want to draw. The "costs 2 less" was almost good but it's just a bit underwhelming if you need to pay another mana to reroll your bad legendaries and then there's a good chance you still won't have a good turn because there are a lot of bad legendaries. In particular, if you get random old legendaries, they're going to be power creeped to hell.

[@raharii12345]

Battlecry has no immediate effect? Well even if it randomize those 1 cost, 2 cost legendary follower can be played immediately since it cost 0 to make up for the tempo

Also some of these like the Ragnaros, Infinite Zephryses, & deck swap options need to be replaced because they're just to auto concede. I feel like if the smart ai was in place, it would just be those 3 every time.

Lazul is a good adventure treasure that is how overpowered it is.

[@andy02q]

Lazuul: You play Brann, you play a 1 mana rush card, you play Lazuul, you trade off your Rush minions -> invisible Brann. EXCEPT: The author probably meant to write "below 1 health" but as Brann can still be reduced to 0 health, only not to -1 or less that means that Lazuul does nothing.

"when not targeted" and "at the same time as another minion" are basically the same. Most likely gonna get cleared by AOE

[@HawkZombie]

Gotta disagree with the balance take on Remulos. Simply because you have cards like Topior the Shrubbagazzor where you get a free 3 damage every time you cast a nature spell. So not only do you keep the spell effect, but you get an additional 3 damage to boot. This is just a flat 5 damage, to minions only (on the turn it's played) at the cost of the full spell. I'd say 3 or 4 balance IMO.

[@hask620]

A 9 mana 30/30 in hearthstone right now that also requires setup of being in hand long enough for 9 minions to die is slow enough that it's perfectly viable. It's significantly less swinging and more interactive than denathrius. Denathrius just kills you when they play it and you aren't able to do anything to interrupt that once it's going off. Every bit of disruption that applies to denathrius applies to this - mutanus, theotar, having a board with lots of stats - those would also disrupt this card just as well. If you have a board with lots of stats, they just played a 9 mana do nothing card, so you get to kill them for free, cause it doesn't have taunt. This is not a design 1 balance 1, you just aren't comparing it to stuff that's actually already in the game.

i want a paladin card with the effect "start of game: draw a neutral minion" it allows XL pure paladin cause you directly draw your supposedly only neutral minion

[@Grimphoenix6969]

the way "forced march" is written it would have to basically overload a mana crystal each turn so that you can use it when you like, and then its forced to go off at the end of turn. Toki's hero power needs to cost 2 so that you dont go off too hard with it, with it costing 1 you can have it go positive too often which forces you to use it even if you have a card you want to keep a lot of the time. you didnt need to edit lazul's "opponents turn"? it means that when you hit something it wont die but the opponent can kill it, or was i misunderstanding your words? additionally to bump up lazul in balance just add "silence it" before you chose the fate, and maybe knock it down a couple mana.

[@PlutoDarknight]

I do believe Trump missed the fact that Lazul specifies "can't be reduced below 0 health", which I believe is a typo and it's meant to say "to 0 health or less", otherwise it would have to be honorable kill by default. But also, that's only damage. Kill spells and effects still work.

[@Blackbaldrik]

Actually, I think the typo would mean she has almost no effect at all no matter what you chose. Because they would be reduced to 0, and then just die. Other cards that say, "can't be reduced below 1," stop *at* 1 if hit for more than their total health. The way it's worded only means it it will stop at 0 and can't be reduced to negative numbers.

[@KingOfHarems]

I think the best way to make Lazul playable would be to have it "Permanently silence" the minion (Can't be buffed or add keywords to it). This would also work in the flavour of the card and the class. Priest does silence it's own minions and Lazul is a witch, who could apply a curse to something in return for strength. It might be confusing to some new players on what permanently silencing a minion means, but it wouldn't be the first time that cards have needed to be played to understand how it interacts

So im assuming shy softshell doesn't come back with full health?

[@swiftcrow]

Really cool cards this week

[@LordVanderGrift]

The Lazul card does not make any sense as the only thing it does is not allowing the Overkill mechanic to proc. There is a reason as to why these cards always state that the minion cannot have it's health reduced below 1. If you can't reduce its health below zero it means it can die anyway as 0 health means the chosen minion gets honorably killed every time.

[@slowcarboost4everzzz]

Brann + Lazul = Opponent concedes

[@Cuestrupaster]

"During your opponent's turn" is way worse than "overkilled by 3", the only difference is that with the second option yourself can kill it with a spell, as long it overkills it by 3, wich is something you wouldn't do, so there's no reason to pick during your opponent's turn instead of the overkill one, since it's hard to your opponent overkill it than just kill it.

i feel like toki will be better as a capstone for aggro like rafam was

[@kindlesstraitor5587]

One more problem with Remulos is what if you duplicate his Deathrattle somehow. You get third Choose One: Summon x amount of Remulos? Or you get Third and Fourth and moreso options to summon Remulos? Very clunky and niche design. I'd nerf his stats and make Deathrattle: Your next Choose One spell also summons Remulos. Or adds it to your hand.

[@kasperween3614]

wouldnt you play toki in agro, like arch villain rafaam

[@AceBadguy]

Some of these custom cards this week really suck such as the Zephyr, Godblood, and Lazul.

[@corrymuth2997]

How would l this custom lazul work with korag

[@JensDll]

Remulos is not too strong. With this card text, you don't even get to cast your Choose One effect; plus, you can only have one Remulos on the board at a time. Compared to Topior it is so bad.

[@ethohalfslab]

I think Trump was too harsh with the balance on Remulos. It's a strong card and can't be printed while druid is strong, but I think it's very plausible for Blizzard to print that card with exactly those stats.

[@Potterphilly13]

Couldn’t you still do “destroy a minion” effects with lazul? It only says it can’t be reduced below one health, but in the past that hasn’t saved minions from being destroyed by like twisting nether

[@moallayoussef5462]

i feel like guest list should be 4 mana. it's still better than the draw choice of nourish and not stronger than AI at 3 mana

[@TheMigratedItalian]

toki can give you the new chthuun witch would be a big problem

[@NamedNameless1]

I think Godblood Droplet could work if it had an absurdly high Infuse requirement, like 25 or something.

[@hoffl09]

It wouldn't see any play then, it most likely wouldnt even see that much play with Infuse 9.

[@BunnyOnASnuman]

@@hoffl09 one scale of Onyxia + 2 minions dying is enough to trigger the infuse. That's way too easy

[@hoffl09]

@@BunnyOnASnuman you need one Siphon Soul to remove it, so what? It's still only a bunch of stats.

[@MrDodgeNDive]

Shy Softshell can be used offensively, and if you use it that way it's a pretty safe card to buff and board control with Infinite Toki's hero power can be 3 mana: shuffle Infinite Toki into your deck

[@somerandomgamer8504]

Please Blizz, give us Guest List. Paladin needs the help

[@portaelrex]

Isnt Face me yourself too strong, getting a 10-15 Atk minion on board for less than 9 is really easy and your enemy wouldn't be able to trade into without receiving the hit, so it can survive putting your enemy on checkmate easily

[@PhazonDude]

Appreciated.

[@bpoliver]

trump: you cant have a 9 mana 30/30 insatiable devourer: exists

[@Bexarbear9]

Insatiable devourer is way better than that card. Atleast in ideal situations

[@Ravi-bk3ee]

Definitely think Guest list should have gotten trump cards of the week instead of softshell
