FINALLY!! A Good Start of Game Card! | Top Custom Cards of the Week #77

[@TrumpSC]

Jens!!! That made perfect sense! With Bear Hug, there is a "Limit on how good of cards that give your attack you can give" druid, since printing a card such as Twin Slice in Druid would make the card OP Rawr!!!!

[@Kaiwano]

Well hey trump with lord incedius I think it’s meant to be to played as a baron geddon or however you spell Him. Sure the over kill is definitely the drawback to this card, as well as the need for rush, but I think this could be baron 2.0. Epecially if hs does an elemental expansion

[@funnyplatypus2164]

And greedy mimic is a card now

[@stonersudowoodo7143]

I feel like greedy mimic might not even need a rebrand. I feel like it could gain “can’t attack” and give it +1 attack. So, it deals damage when getting hit but can’t deal damage by attacking

[@SuperSymn]

That sounds like a perfect fix, it even conveys the idea of the mimic getting angry and actually attacking when you "steal" its content by silencing it.

[@peanuteater9640]

Would it be too much text for 1 card?

[@timewarp1994]

peanut eater can’t attack is so short and easy tho. I’d straight up make it a 2/2

[@johnj4471]

@Connor Todd so 4/5 can't attack must be extremely broken then as it costs the same. It's not broken.

[@SackboyDaan]

@@johnj4471 the 4/5 doesn't draw you cards, also if your opponent plays a mimic you WANT to kill it because of it's effect. The 4/5 requires another card before your opponent needs to kill it.

[@zweeks823]

I feel like Bark Bard could have been worded: “Spellburst: Transform all Treants into 5/5 Ancients”. Spellburst happens after the spell is cast, so it would transform summoned treants but it would also provide flexibility allowing you to transform treants you get from cards like shrubadier

[@dodde216]

[@instrumentaltiger5633]

@@dodde216 so?

[@dodde216]

@@instrumentaltiger5633 I think that's not fun to play against lol, facing 3 5/5's and a 2/2 on turn 3

[@addamazeing]

@@dodde216 Since the effect will typically come out on turn 4 (curve on 3, spell on 5) you could basically think of it like a 1 mana discount on tree speaker, who typically didn't see play in most treant decks

[@StAngerNo1]

I don't like the fact that the spellburst does nothing, if you dont have treants. My suggestion would be: "Spellburst: Give your minions +1/+1, if they are treants, give them +3/+3 instead." Maybe that is a little bit to strong and needs to be tweaked, though.

[@Nekrotix12]

Honestly it wasn't until after I posted the card that I had the realization that Overkill triggered off of itself. But at the same time, I feel like people wouldn't have liked it as much if it didn't have the potential to be an actual nuke of blazing glory.

[@Wolffman-gs9so]

But even then I don’t think that’s how it works. It would overkill let’s say a 7 health minion, then deal 3 to everything, then overkill something with 2 health and then deal 1. It doesn’t deal 10 everytime. So I feel like it’s perfectly balanced

[@Intestine_Ballin-ism]

@@Wolffman-gs9so yes buuuut there's the off chance that it runs into a board of 1 health minions, then the match ends in a draw because it overkills the first guy for 9, overkills everything else by 8, and then deals 64 damage to everyone or something stupid

[@Intestine_Ballin-ism]

Like in my head, you don't even need to have a board of 1/1s, since you will always have a broom on board, which triggers the 2nd proc, which against only one other 1 health minion deals 17 damage to all characters. I bet control decks would run it solely as an eject button to guarantee a draw of they're losing, which absolutely nobody will be happy about

[@nfxm5117]

Honestly, If me and my opponent just exploded in a giant ball of flame, I would be totally fine with it. The card actually makes me wonder what the overkill animation would look like. Maybe it would be a hellfire?

[@GaussianEntity]

I guess people have forgotten that bees exists. A random Druid deck would just ramp to hell, draw this card, bees, and Innervate, then nuke the board for game-ending damage. Even if the match ended in a draw, giving any class a nuke on demand that ended a game would pretty much devolve the game into who can beat the Druid before they draw the nuke. And as we've seen with the Kael'thas meta, that kind of game isn't very fun at all.

[@ireallyhatemakingupnamesfo1758]

12:12 on first reading I thought that was the intent. I think the idea is that it attacks directly after it overkill’s and keeps attacking until it dies or stops over killing. That would explain the flavor of it being really angry, and the syntax with the exclamation point.

[@PKMNwater]

I thought this too when I was trying to figure out the card, but then to make the card fit hearthstone's language, it really should say something like "attacks again randomly" or some such. As is, the implication is like as if the card has windfury that forces it to attack the same character, that only activates on overkill, so it's doubly nonsensical.

[@Andrew-hz5zc]

@@PKMNwater I think attacking randomly, while having more flavor, makes it a LOT weaker. It makes the overkill less consistent, which would make the card only kill one, maybe two minions a lot of the time. Having the choice let's you be more strategic, which I think would be better.

[@Andrew-hz5zc]

@Hadi Ali I was just making suggestions. Sure it would be similar to batterhead, but attacking randomly would just ruin the card.

[@Andrew-hz5zc]

@Hadi Ali Ok? I wasn't suggesting to make the card weaker. I wanted the card to be strong.

[@Andrew-hz5zc]

@Hadi Ali And people aren't losing their minds over this at all. Just suggesting changes to make it balanced

There's no reason why they couldn't re-use any other set specific keyword (Outside of them being trash like Overkill or Joust)

[@chronostech726]

I think Bark Bard could be better with just "Spellburst: Transform your Treants into 5/5 Ancients" with an appropriate stat and mana change. That way, you can play the card while you have Treants on the board, as opposed to having to keep a Treant spell in your hand waiting for Bark Bard.

[@rafidifrancesco7956]

was gonna comment this myself. It would obviously make the card a lot better, but Treants haven't gotten much support this year, so I think the change is deserved. Making a card that has synergy with Treant spells and not Treants was a bad design move imo, especially when there are also minions (Shrubadier) that summon Treants.

And the hair? Yea, that's a 5 star design, 5 star balance.

[@Sinth123]

Wow, I'm honored to see my card being selected as the top card of the week and I love the feedback of both Walden and Eudora! Thanks Trump, Jens and everyone. This means a ton to me! To clarify, the reason why Walden is also classified as a warlock legendary is that I found his destructive nature fits the warlock and his fellow bro Lord Godfrey is also a warlock legendary (In WoW, Godfrey is a mage and Walden is actually a priest). Similarly Eudora is obviously a rogue in Hearthstone. However, in WoW, she's part of the Council o' Captains and it could be argued that pirate captains are warriors of the sea (although her abilities suggest that she is actually a hunter). In addition, I wanted to create the effect for 2 classes at once that lacked highlander class cards. Overall, Scholomance Academy encouraged to create a dual class cards so I took some freedom to imagine what would be an appropriate second class for these legendaries.

[@Kelarys]

that really is the perfect start of game card. It isn't strong enough to justify going highlander, it only makes your decision to go highlander better, because the starting hand matters so much more when you only have 1 copy of each card. I hope they print that, because I love it. And also because I play highlander rogue in wild

[@matthewsan8201]

They made greedy mimic as a 3 mana 2/3 exactly

[@zachlatham6895]

For "just research" we have seem this wording before. It's on one of the daily gold quests and it does count trading minions, which I think was being thought about in the design

[@magikmilk2343]

Yeah so that's my card. It was really difficult to fit the effect I wanted on the card (which may be a sign its too complicated), but the end result is exactly as you have said. I appreciate Trumps' concerns though. I feel like it would be one of those cards that makes better sense with usage.

[@ethanmontgomery6132]

Ok, but there is still just ONE tiny issue with this Start of Game effect. Start of Game effects happen AFTER the mulligan phase (Think Malchezar, Baku, etc.), and your opponent could get really confused at why your hand shuffled twice. Maybe it happens after the mulligan, like after the screen undarkens, which could also mean if you went second you could shuffle the coin into your deck in exchange for an additional card draw. It would be obnoxious if that were the case though, because the opponent would have to wait for you to decide your mulligan again.

[@zenbozic6184]

i dont see why that would be a very obnoxious thing, people rope in the game all the time and you dont call that obnoxious

[@ethanmontgomery6132]

@@zenbozic6184 Well, I WOULD call that obnoxious but you have a point. The rope is a necessary mechanic and there is no way to really stop someone from burning it up every turn. Overall, I think the card's mulligan mechanic is fine, and you'd have less cards to consider reshuffling if the first mulligan already gave you a couple you want to keep.

[@bolmo12]

Just put the mulling Time to be included in the rope time, turn 1 doesn't require that much time, and a flashy animation that states that your hand is shuffled once more deals with the new player experience.

[@PKMNwater]

@@ethanmontgomery6132 turn timers that persist. You get like up to 2mins to take your turn at the start of the game, but the clock only "regenerates" up to 30s per turn depending on how much deficit you used last turn, so if you consistently slow play, your turn timer gets smaller. Though this can't exist until hearthstone fixes the clock to work properly anyway, and possibly even if they made time tick during dead time, since some animations and effects take forever.

[@pineberry4845]

We already had tavern brawls, where you have to "discover/choose" something immediatley after the mulligan. So I don't think another mulligan after the first one would be a problem.

[@maxtiemann9903]

14:30 Perhaps to mitigate the specific nature of the card, Bark Bard should just read "Spellburst: Transform your Treants into 5/5 Ancients". That way, not only is the card more flexible, it also doesn't have the issue of being super niche.

[@Jaricko]

Bear Hug is maybe too cheap. It should probably be 2 mana. Just because if you hero power ever, Bear hug is basically a Discover / Draw which is generally valued more than a mana. So after the mana reduction, its basically like paying 0 mana. Additionally, even without the mana reduction, its still a solid card.

[@earlgreen2030]

The problem is, you almost can’t guarantee winning against Aggro decks in a meta with 1/2, 2/2 and 1/3 frequently played in the 1-mana slot. Most of the time, you’d probably tie and sometimes even lose. But since criticism is easy, here is my take on the card. How about printing it with some interesting deathrattle cards or on-hit effects in the 1-mana slot? Honestly, when guardian animals was revealed, everyone thought it was shit because the beast package didn’t exist back then. This card simply needs some interesting enablers. Another option would be cards that benefit from minions dying.

The Bark Bard could be streamlined further to "Spellburst: Transform your treants into 5/5 ancients." The synergy with treant summoning spells is still implied, but now it's a bit less narrow, since you could use it on existing treants. If you wanted to make it even MORE general, it could say "2-attack minions" instead of "treants".

[@SamRuggerio]

Consider, Lord Walden: Play as only minion on board, one of the random spells causes lord walden to return to hand/deck/disappear (i.e., not die). Now, spells get casted indefinitely until either minions are spawned and killed, or a hero dies. Minions spawning is even harder due to no minions being on the board.

[@SamRuggerio]

@Raoul Herskovits If I did the averages correct, there are 30 spells that spawn minions (without catches specific to xyz class), out of 374 spells... so about 8% chance to summon a minion each spell.

Mrrglblast Mechanic fix: *Battlecry:* Summon a *Dormant* rocket that awakens in 3 turns. Rocket: At the end of your turn, destroy all minions. Weakens it quite a bit but still keeps the flavour.

[@sweatymilk8590]

That would actually make it quite a bit stronger and doesn't fix the issue. If it happened at the end of your turn you would then be able to smack face and ignore trading before nuking the board. I think having the rocket say "at the end of your opponents turn, destroy all minions" would balance the card a lot more as you could try to control the board in your favour. Also giving the opponent a chance to actually kill it.

[@thebigyes8482]

Or in another sense a sort of "Wild Expansion" card review, might ne another way to brand the episode.

[@4llg00dth1ng5]

Wording in “Just Research” is fine, similar wordings have come up. Generally speaking it refers to anything killed by something you control (Spells, Minions[in cases of mayornog/misdirection], minion abilities)

Not sure if anyone mentioned it, but the "kill" text on Just Research would be similar to the daily quest in function I'd assume.

What if 'Greedy Mimic' had some mechanic where it got damage for eating cards? Extra incentive for opponent to deal with it early, and having a 2-drop be a 3-2 on turn 5 is hardly broken

[@avilessure7641]

you're massively underrating legendary duel, that card is great imo, there are so many decks that don't play 1 drops, or play broomstick as their only 1 drop where this card is nuts, also in wild with injured kvaldir I think it would be pretty good, although I don't know what deck it fits in

[@jexzis8264]

A quick note about Lord incendius, if you give him lifesteal with the Jaina hero card, you should in theory get a full heal, kinda like baron geddon with lifesteal. So in my opinion the balance should probably be like 3 stars as that would make it even more difficult to deal with & make it feel more hard to get a decent trade with him.

[@Snickersnek]

For Bark Bard, why not have "*Spellburst:* Gain +3/+3, if the spell summoned any Treants, transform them into 5/5 Ancients.", and bump the mana cost up by one? You keep the Treant/Ancient stat flavour, the 'Treant' uses the magic to empower itself alongside any allies into Ancients. And now gaining it as a random card isn't awful because you can at the very least get a "Yeti" with one extra attack provided you can also cast a spell.

[@zhaf]

You can silence/bounce a buff. But you can’t silence/bounce away a transform effect.

[@andreaskrlev4376]

If Feugen and Stalagg can exist, which are argueably more specific than Bark Bard, then surely you can't dock design points for it being a "too specific" card. However, i do agree that the card should only be printed in a standard rotation with Treant generation

[@marinecor23]

10:30 i kinda like the idea of playing a card that could kill you if you don't do the math before attacking. Kinda like if defile was a minion and the damage was game wide.

[@antman7673]

At first glance I didn’t like eudora, but double mulligan would be a nice consistency buff. The cost for getting double mulligan is playing a 2 mana 2/2. For the purpose of making the card more fun, make it a 2/3, so it isn’t the worst top deck.

[@PrimeGamator]

Jens i really wanted to ask you. What made you go back to the end credit sentence and chill style that you used to make? Was it just a nostalgia trip or what?

[@abhishekmalhotra1831]

Just give the mimic a smaller version of the tar creeper effect (+1 attack on the opponent’s turn). If this is too strong then change it to having a 1/2 baseline and give it “can’t attack” since then would still gain the mimic flavor plus some teeth but it would be way harder to activate yourself since it wouldn’t be able to attack even if you use buffs on it. Also it would then become an “angry mimic” when silenced as you took away its cards.

[@GoldGalaxianFin]

5:20 the mgrlgl mechanic isnt too op because if you think about aggro perspective, its mega slow. Scenario 01: you are facing aggressive hunter and you play the murloc mechanic on 3, you would need to survive to turn 6 to gain anything of it, if you manage to be mage with good top deck and freeze the board on 4, you would still take huge amount of unrecoverable damage to your own face. Scenario 02: you are facing a warrior, you are on turn 10, you put the mechanic down on the board, now the warrior would be hectic because of the bomb and would probably play rattlegore if he has it, warrior would probably still play pretty valuably because the late charge of the bomb, now what you would do would be minimal, because you have no control on your own bomb. Scenario 03: you are facing a priest and you play this on turn 3-4, and you are playing late game deck like druid or mage, this would be pretty op because priest would loose his board and you get your time to build up. Basically trump misses all the possibilities that the card can do.

[@christophermcdonald3932]

Actually, I think I see the idea of why they chose Eudora. Even though they labelled it as Scholomance, I'm pretty sure it's a response to the Uldum No-Duplicate Legendaries. So what better way than to add a henchman? It's even more clever since they chose classes that aren't already portrayed by the Explorers. I think she fits more under a Rogue only card, but I believe the creator didn't want to abandon her pirate aspect and how she could benefit a warrior deck. However - You can't just put her into a warrior class because she's a pirate. Pirates wouldn't even be good playing this deck. Pirates are a swarm minion that ravage together at big groups. To not allow duplicates in pirate warrior is hitting Garrosh in the kneecap with a wrench and calling him fixed.

I would have Captain Eudora give that effect twice, as I think that would be more in keeping with the power of other Highlander anchor cards

[@michaellatner975]

2 Mana 12/14 turn 2, really powerful man... Just do it in a druid deck and you'll see the power it is. Biggest weakness is silence, just having some of your strong cards being eaten by mimic and then being dissolved by him not being able to open his mouth is thematically appropriate to me

[@LargeFriesChocoShake]

Trump you forgot a very important balance problem with Lord Walden. If the board is empty the only way to stop is until one hero dies which basically means that, for 7 mana, you flip a coin to either win or lose.

[@Evan_Schaefering]

It is much more likely that Walden would kill itself, or other minions that are summoned, before it would destroy either hero on an empty board.

[@LargeFriesChocoShake]

@@Evan_Schaefering true that

[@zttev]

Some consideration, greedy mimic would be fun to have except if it's been 5 turns and then gets silenced.

[@virtuosoengineer]

Bark Bard could keep the same stats and include Battlecry: Summon a 2/2 Treant, and change the SpellBurst to replace your Treants with 4/4 Ancients

[@set-theory]

another problem with legendary duel is of course two 0-attack minions being summoned from it

[@captainglad4966]

legendary duel could be renamed legendary war. where you summon 7 copies of a random 1 mana minion for each opponent and they battle to the death it could cost 3 or 4 mana

[@ThePizzaMan48]

Maybe have all battle cries trigger on the summoned minions too? Or they are one drops from each person's class.

[@aznpholyfe6693]

cool trump card of the week. as someone who regularly pilots highlander rogue, i solidly like eudora

[@ralerxwinterstone2726]

Wouldent that captain eudora have the same problem as odd and even decks of making the deck much more consistant? Not as good as other decks when they drew well but they always are ok?

[@kingcrimson1223]

I think the idea with legendary duel is that a lot of decks don't run 1 drops so its supposed to be an aggro paladin kinda card

[@usozertr]

This video is truly the first time I realized GA was dual class with Hunter

[@getsleep864]

Lord Incedius with Frost Lich Jaina and Broomstick would be ridiculously op.

[@Bruh-el9js]

make legendary duel a 3 cost card which summons 2 costs instead, it can then work with prelates and doomsayers, if everything goes wrong paladin still has the best 2 drops of any class, also why not give eudora rush so it isn't a dead card after mulligan ? it would also tie well the warrior part

[@Satherian]

Mrrglblast Mechanic just needs increased cost. With dormant stuff, the general idea HS has is you just reduce the mana cost of a creature by the number of turns it's dormant (e.g. The priest 2/5 taunt is 1 mana and has 2 turns of dormant instead of costing 3 mana) So, a 3 turn, kill everything? Well, we have an 8 mana Warlock spell that does that, but it sucks, so let's say it's 7 mana for a playable neutral version. 3 turns of dormant turns it into a 4 mana card. Finally, throw a 2 mana card (3/3) onto it and that bumps the cost to ~6 or 7 mana. Voila! *Mrrglblast Mechanic - 6 mana 3/3, Summon a rocket that explodes after 3 turns.*

[@nether1322]

Even if it were nerfed to be "fair", the idea of the card is just so fundamentally unfun that it just shouldn't be a thing You basically put the game on lockdown for three entire turns and your opponent just has to sit there

[@Satherian]

@@nether1322 More like your opponent has 3 turns to use the lost tempo On a full board, the card is a terrible lose in tempo. Heck, on an empty board, your opponent still has 2 turns to take advantage. Playing a 3/3 on turn 6 that (technically) does nothing is an *incredible* loss in tempo. Honestly, even at 6 mana, I don't think the card would be very good. And keep in mind that the bomb would probably go off on the start of your turn, so your opponent can choose how to trade to get the most out of it. Also, you have to sit there and do nothing until it goes off, too

[@booxwee3804]

1:48 would go well with the new set

[@DisgruntledPeach]

I imagined the Greedy Mimic working like that Legendary Shark whose name alludes me.

[@alguien8665]

"Gral, the shark" was the name? Also yeah immediately thought it worked like that lol

[@Kedzke]

Would you say the second mulligan should 'unlock' the cards, removed from the draw pool by the first mulligan?

[@Lightn0x]

To balance Legendary Duel, add "If yours wins, draw a card."

[@purpleblah2]

Isn’t Headmaster Kel’Thuzad a card that implicitly limits what kind of spells you use with it, like Bark Bard? You have to use a spell that damages or destroys a minion or the spellburst is wasted.

[@evansaschow]

That’s a much less specific type of spell. The main spell types are draw, buff, summon, damage, heal, and destroy. There are lots of ways for a spell to kill a minion, but summon a specific minion is overly restrictive.

[@FDDMT]

Legendary duel is basically draw a 1 cost card (that didn't start in your hand) and play it for 0 Mana if the opponent does not have a 1 cost minion

[@Yusukeseru]

2x Pounce+2x Claw+Bear Hug into Gonk combo. Though it's pretty unlikely, but still cool.

[@sylphsylph2118]

for the one with a rocket you could just put a set damage on the rocket or make it killable

[@Madpain10]

Took me a while to get that "Just Research!" card, enemy minions for you board ! xD

[@boerbouwvakker7031]

7:35 trump invokes his inner michael scott

[@patrickmcginn2428]

Legendary duel is super fair because in some matchups the opponent wont summon anything and you get a 0 mana 1 drop
