Jewel thief is literally unprintable. The main issue is that I can be done with my turn faster than my opponent sees it (I can end turn before animations finish) So my opponent could see the rope for my turn during animations after I have ended my turn, whereas I never saw the rope, leaving my opponent wondering why it’s still alive. Or does it die and I am left wondering why it died?

The difference is that hex is also a basic set shaman card, so it's also part of the shaman class identity, designed that way from the beginning. Priest, on the other hand, is notable for only having conditional removal, like only targeting certain attack values (shadow word death and pain) or being bad against certain statlines/boardstates (lightbomb, mass hysteria).

I agree with your points on Youthanizer, but Hex very similar. Just pointing it out since it didn't make it into the discussion.

[@meris8486]

Hex is in the base set which implies that Blizzard wants it to be a part of Shaman's identity, it's also got an upside where the frog can't attack but a downside that it has taunt so you _have_ to waste damage on it. For me that's different enough, while youthanizer is just cute/clever polymorph

[@digiquo8143]

Light Bow is insane IMO, why are we giving Hunter Fireball again?

[@meris8486]

"Light" Bow

[@Zebo12345678]

It's most comparable to holy smite, imo. Basically a 1 mana card that adds three holy smites to your hand. The drawback is the damage you take from attacking, and that you can't "prepare" your weapon beforehand. The reason weapons were powerful before was because you paid mana one turn, and got several turns of value out of it. This one doesn't do that, since you need to have mana available *every time* you want to attack. That makes it not so good early game. It shines most in the mid-game, where minions are small enough for it to make a difference, but mana is abundant enough to spend on 1 mana spells. If you use it as a fireball, it's just straight up worse than fireball, and far less efficient than some other Hunter tools.

[@frazerman1]

@@Zebo12345678 right but if you just play all 3 arrows and the bow in one turn it's 4 mana deal 6 and that coupled with kill command seems like a lot of burn for hunter to have

[@shaolinfang3520]

So you're basically saying eaglehorn bow is strictly just a stronger fireball since it's at 3 mana.

[@cassrane5383]

Not even close, since Bow is spread out and the weapon is insane with its flexibility. Taking damage is barely relevant anyways in hunter, and a 1 mana card adding 3 smites to your hand (which is what you compared it to) is insane

[@masterchief-bm6tu]

Jewel Thief fix: “If you run out of time on your turn, destroy this minion”

[@rhymeswithmoose228]

But then the flavor is lost, and the creature is boring. I agree with you, but the reason the creature is so bad is that its core flavor and quirk are what are bad.

[@spookster2265]

Way to fix all problems with light bow card: Make it Legendary to reduce synergy with Zul'gin. Mana and power changes may not need to happen but could to accommodate legendary status.

12:30 What if Romance just summoned a random minion from each deck for you. They can't attack each other if they are both on your side. (Baring a little madness or betrayal.) I also feel like that's an actual 7+ mana effect and the other two card effects can be buffed to be more like new stronger Romanace. Say Tragedy just destroyed all other Minions and Comedy did more wacky randomness.

[@digiquo8143]

Tragedy being destroy all other minions (that is, everything but Barnes) is a neutral version of Twisting Nether, except better, and I really don't think that belongs in neutral. Could work if Barnes was a class card, or maybe if it just did kill ALL minions instead. Comedy could just be buffed to cast more spells, or have a condition to cast spells until a minion dies.

@@Corrupted the argument is that it shouldn't be mentioned in a mechanic, cause "cards" don't know what rope is.

[@misterbin00]

8:32 Nozdormu : Yeah I hear that a lot. I thought you should have give it a pass, but on second thought, it really doesn't make sense because this is a common card. A card as meta as much as Nozdormu should be 'at least' Epic, preferably Legendary.

Does anyone care for rarity of cards except for arena drop rate where it actually shouldn't be above common with how meh it is and legendaries? I'd argue that the rarity should reflect only the power of a card and it matters only because of arena.

[@WildFangWolf]

As an idea for a change to Light Bow, what if the Arrow spell read "1 Mana - Remove one weapon durability; if you do, deal 2 damage to a minion." ? That way it still simulates a bow being used to fire ammunition, it's a little more expensive (due to having to spend a weapon's durability alongside the damage), and limits it to minion removal to keep from giving hunters too much face damage.

[@WarriorF7]

That's yugioh wording, isn't it? But yeah, "Remove one durability from your weapon to deal 2 damage to a minion" would be a cool way of changing it.

[@WildFangWolf]

@@WarriorF7 Yup, very much Yugioh wording.

[@oompaloompagrande]

Honestly, as far as the rope goes, it should be fine. As should seconds. There is no reason these mechanics should not be referenced. In the terms of other CCG's, they regularly reference things with various timings (see: Magic the Gathering; timing restrictions. see: Yu-Gi-Oh Chain resolution). The only reason I can find that could be presented as to why timing should not be referenced is because HS is a simple game and timing effects the complexity of the game.

[@fosso8803]

Both of your examples are not even remotely close to both cards in question.

i think we should change it so that any weapon equiped goes dormant for the turn when you use bring it on. would solve the problem

[@Cuestrupaster]

Just remember that Nozdormu also interacts with the rope... but well I actually say that even it shouldn't exist...

5:52 Robin: "at the start of your turn" maybe ?

[@prestonm-f382]

So... Beast- Tabbycat/Snowflipper Demon- Imp Dragon- Whelp Elemental- Silenced Volatile? Fireplume Harbinger? Murmuring? Mech- Faithful Lumi Murloc- Tinyfin Pirate- Patches/N’Zoth’s Totem- Searing Amalgam- Amalgam Token from Hag Others- Wisp

[@gavin5410]

What if robin gave the player with less cards a coin? That way it fits the flavor of stealing from the rich more, and prevents gadgetzan auctioneer more, since getting 2 cards from it is likely to prevent you from having the least amount of cards on the next turn. Maybe it would have to be start of turn.

[@luigigaminglp]

Trump commenting on Jewel thief that the rope should not be referred to... YEah APM Priest has a word to say on that xD

[@PrimeGamator]

I wonder if playing Light Bow and Candleshot together in the same deck would be too overpowered or it would be too overkill and wouldn't work well

[@josholocko1132]

Bring it on should be "Gain 12 armour. The next minion your opponent plays gains charge"

[@AleskanderPog]

What if animations delay your actions so you input Jewel Thief's attack before roping, but the rope came out before it could actually attack? Or if it happened mid-swing?

[@toastman3421]

Saw the card in the thumbnail as I was scrolling through my feed and had to double take because I thought this was a Rise of Shadows card review.

[@WhiskeyFiend]

Polymorph is so unique, so explain how a 0/1 taunt is that much worse than a 1/1?

[@BackflipBucky]

The problem I have with the Two-Handed "Bow" is that Hunters can't use maces in World of Warcraft, and that is clearly a mace!

[@LeonHPrytz]

Light Bow is kinda OP with Zul'jin. if you play all six arrows before you play Zul'jin it gives you +12 attack that turn.

[@LeonHPrytz]

Nevermind, Trump mentioned it

[@maltezachariassen7496]

"Romance" wouldn't stop a combo deck, because it says "summon" and not "recruit".. Summon means that a copy of a random minion is summoned to the board, which means that the original card is still in the deck.. Unless you meant after a rework, in which case you would be right if they made it recruit instead of summon

[@OnEiNsAnEmOtHeRfUcKa]

Tbh to rebalance the card I'd make it a 5 Mana 4/5 and have Tragedy destroy a _random_ minion.

[@banterbox2925]

"Summon" would still pull the minion out of the deck, one example being Meat Wagon. "Summon a copy" would be a different story.

[@warptens5652]

"recruit" = "summon from your deck"

[@ysdrJYTEFADJYF]

Light bow with rummaging cobold, brann ans zuljin would be really interesting

[@nickolson9235]

Proposed change for Robin: 2 mana 2/2, battlecry: give a coin to the player(s) with the least health.

[@ravenblackwood5833]

I think the robin card should be a battlecry, that could make the card more balanced.

[@desmanostrikes5644]

Doctor Boom acknowledges the rope when it burns so that implies the hero’s know that it exists

[@1998marijn1998]

Every hero responds to the rope

[@mr.paperbag771]

@@1998marijn1998 But only Doctor Boom calls it a "rope". (He calls it a fuse=burning rope)

[@paxmorgana]

8:13 - 9:54 I don't know why you're so against things interacting with the rope, and the history bar. It's a silly thing to get hung up on - you keep saying it's not part of the game, but every single board you play on has a history bar, and every single board has a rope - they're part of the game - and while the rope only exists in human matches for the most part, doesn't mean you can't restrict the card to those particular game modes. I'm just saying it shouldn't be counted against a card just for that reason. Plus great flavor, if the rope burns it meant their rope they used to swing in to steal the jewels got cut or something and they're caught and have to escape or something.

[@digiquo8143]

History bar only exists client side, aka that information isn't saved at all in the actual match. And rope is hilariously inconsistent because of the ability to queue actions before their animations are finished. Quest Mage is the easiest example of this, repeatedly casting Fireball after Fireball at lightning speed until you're opponent is dead, meanwhile it might take the animations all of 3 minutes to play back all the animations, well beyond the turn limit, but to your opponent you will look to be roping the last 2 minutes.

[@shinkamui]

just a card ''chose 2 minions, they can't attack each other'' would be a cool spell. Protect a taunt from a threat, force opponent to have an answer. Maybe wouldnt be used but put it in shaman and we can get that with hagatha etc

[@decycle2912]

light bow is basically twin slice for demon hunter

[@HibekiGuy]

Light bow is overpowered. light bow, gadgetzan auctioneer, 10 mana draw three cards, equip a 6/1 weapon and summon a gadgetzan auctioneer. Its only a two card combo, gives insane tempo and card draw for a class that doesnt have card draw. Cant be printed while auctioneer exists.

[@marvinteichmann7178]

Still compares unfavourably to Ultimate Infestation.
