[@1hit2doom]

True. But thats okay, because you get the attack from the high health. Same with topsy turvey. Also you can give your lightspawn +0/+8 and it will get +8/+8. Thats okay because you will need another card to make it that strong. You need the innerfire, topsy or lightspawn for example.

Trump didn't even mention the most broken aspect of Chromatus: when you get all dream cards, you can bounce Chromatus back to your hand and play him a second time.

[@MonochromaticPrism]

10 mana generate 6 cards will lose you the game in most matchups

[@gbm7690]

You would need to be holding 5 other dragons excluding chromatus (because "if you're holding a dragon" cards don't count themselves). So it's a conditional 10 mana draw 4 (because you use the dream) if 5 of the cards in your hand are dragons... And note that unless you have a good nightmare target you also overdraw your next card cause your hand would be 5 dragons + 4 dream cards + chromatus. Yeah I don't think that's very good.

[@allhailderpfestor4839]

How draw 4 dream card for 10 mana is most broken option when other options are reno, twisting nether that summons 5/12, pyro that summons 5/12 and time warp with 5/12 You need to make essence of dream "choose 5 dream cards" or its complete garbage compare to other option due to being way 2 inconsistent and having high potential of not even getting all 5 dream cards. (Due to handsize)

[@MostUndignified]

Rebalance: "If you hold 5 dragons and no duplicate cards in your hand, randomly cast a dragonflight essence"

[@Lokisif34]

@@MostUndignified Late but, no thats pretty bad. That makes him useless. Not only is not having any duplicates in hand a steep requirement. We don't have that level of dragons in the game. That and while the essence are strong they aren't big enough to be picked at random. You need a heal?, welp you just dealt 10 damage to the warrior with 40 hp. Need a board clear? filled your hand with stuff you can't play or don't want to play. Need tempo?, you just destroyed your board. Even 5 months later with ashes of outland. No highlander deck has the neccasary dragons, heck there aren't even any pure dragon decks that could reliably meet the chomatus requirement. Besides maybe gala priest with dragon package.

[@dakotakade3547]

Vindictive Felguard should read "When you take damage on your turn". Pretty sure Blizzard doesn't want cards that punish people for choosing to hit face, as the rest of the cards designed around hurting yourself in Warlock specify that it must be on your turn. Bad design to me for that.

[@Eggolas]

Hi, member of Omelette Gang here. When our team was designing that card I feel like we all had "on your turn" in our heads but just totally didnt put it on the card and forgot about the opponents turn. In hindsight our card should be changed and our team sees this clear as day. Hopefully you like our round 2 cards better :)

[@vicio19995]

@TheRebornPheonix could be do 2 dmg to a random enemy, more like flame waker, so the minion don insta die vs other minion, and you cant buff his dmg for chese dmg, or you can make it that, on your turn if you hero takes dmg deal the same amount to a random enemy

[@FS4SS]

@@avenger3163 Yep, this. I don't entirely know what the goal behind Custom Cards is when it comes to design philosophy - but that card would never be printed because of Power Overwhelming in Wild. That being said, they allowed Snip + Mechwarper to exist, which is arguably around the same power level...

[@ChoppersRevenge]

Chromatus could say: "If you're holding 5 dragons, discard them and cast a dragonflight essence. That would bring his power level down a notch and would make sense in the theme of the card.

[@jamiefenwick8359]

In his current state I think that would bring his power level down way too much as 5 cards are worth like 7-8 mana on their own. If you could think of a way to slightly increase his power level along side that change without making him too ridiculous that could be a good fix to tone him down and fix the issue of playing multiple copies of him.

A note on chorus: I think it would make more sense if it only triggered as long as the minion is on the board (chorus triggers all friendly choruses on the board) that way it is not as easily repeatable. That also makes more sense thematically, as all the different bards play a song together, if they are still alive. It does reward snowballing a lead though, which might be a problem. If that is how it is supposed to work, mb I misunderstood it.

It kinda seems to me like dragon's bane should be a palladian card. You'd expect the knight in shining armor to find the fabled sword that can slay dragons, as opposed to the war-mongering orc. Either that, or the flavor can be changed a bit to make it fit into warrior. Maybe just a more intricate picture.

Chorus works like jade, it's not exponential, for example if you play 3 chorus minions in a turn you'll activate 3 times the first minion's effect, twice the second minion's effect and once the last minion's effect.

Not sure if this plays in, but Dragon Slayer comes from the Berserk manga/anime. In terms of design, that would be infringing on their stuff, but if the concept art was literally any other cool looking sword, that would be a cool card. It should also be noted that Dragon Slayer in Berserk is eventually tempered to slay demons, though that's a whole other story

[@Bruh-el9js]

chorus is an incredibly cool mechanic, I really like it

[@TheDwagonHD]

A funny way to balance the chorus mechanic would be that it also activates your opponents choruscards. Making it almost like a musicbattle. That together with having minor effects or even funny ones, like: "Chorus: deal one damage to a random enemy minion, then restore one health to a random damaged minion" (note that this could be abused with lightwarden (for example) and yes, even enemy minions can be healed)

Bloodcurser Shanan deserves some more consideration. The reward is clearly aimed at aggressive decks, but in order to use this you have to start the game with 20 health and spend 14 mana on it. Doing nothing and hurting yourself is going to get you killed against aggro, not to mention it's a dead card until you fulfil the conditions. In control matches this is obsolete against many combo decks. The only time this can be a terror is against midrange or pure control decks and in my opinion that's fine and doesn't need that much tweaking to be balanced.

Why not make 1 that is very strong but conditional and u need to build a deck to support it.... For example silencing weapons could be a thing or weapons that can only attack specific minions... Like take for example a weapon that is poisonous for beasts... Or 1 that reverses lifesteal so that lets say u attack a lifesteal minion u get the health...

I actually like Chorus, in theory it's about the same powerlevel as lackey mechanics. You generate a ton of it but it's all weak. Possibly even has drawbacks on a bunch of them. Imagine playing something like "Chorus: deal 2 damage to your hero" because it's worth it just to trigger your other Choruses again. Should probably also all be cheap minions so you can play multiple of them and be attached with mechanics that give them more staying power.

[@dakotakade3547]

You know what would be a cooler idea for Chorus? If it was a battlecry, but repeated X turns later. So like, Chorus 1 would be on your next turn. Chorus 3 would be 3 turns from now. And you need to protect whatever creature it is for that many turns to get value out of it. For instance, if War Strummer had Chorus 2: Cast a random Paladin Secret, it would play a secret the turn it was played, then play another one 2 turns later. It's balanced because you could get okay value just by playing the "battlecry" and potentially even more value from the "chorus" battlecry.

For the dragon slayer, Trump said that it was weak... to be honest, I think it's overpowered because if your opponent only has 1 minion on the board which a dragon you put Mayor Noggenfogger which makes all target random, so instead of hitting the dragon your dealing 12 damage straight to your opponent's face!

12:25 Hey, why is Trump talking about the Warrior class all of a sudden?

[@Junebug89]

Nice change to the weapon at the end Trump!

[@thewerdna]

Bloodcurser Shanan would probably be fine if all it did was change the hero power. Seems like a fair upgrade, since it would be very slow. Maybe even make it add a copy to your hand instead.

New custom card!!!!! CHINESE GOVERNMENT battlecry: Silence all minions, cast blizzard, silence all minions again.

[@captainsteelnipple3529]

Rip my respect for blizzard, I think it has changed to a corrupt card

[@Willowisp927]

If all the minions are aggro they can all go to the void.

[@RematodeRanger]

If the enemy player is from hong kong, then send them to jail. Players in jail are not allowed to play the game for 3 years

I think Vindictive Felguard should read: Whenever your hero takes damage on your turn, this card attacks a random enemy. That way it can't cause an infinite loop, and it can still be stopped by having minions on the board. It keeps the flavour of the card as well as the flavour of warlocks not being able to easily deal direct damage. Should Bloodcurser Shanan become a hero card instead of a minion? Raise it to 8 mana, remove the 3/6 from it. That way it is comparable to Dr. Boom, Mad Genius. You'd need to pack your deck specifically with warlock spells with number text on them (Siphon Soul and Twisting Nether wouldn't gain lifesteal because they have no values) and maybe still offer 1/3 of your total health just to gain the benefit?

[@Kandall05161]

Having a hero card with an "activation condition" would be totally new and potentially weird though. It doesn't really fit the theme of hero cards to potentially play it and JUST have it be 8 mana gain 5 armor. I think that even as a hero card the hero power is too broken anyways (one elven archer + hero power = fatigue immunity + mage hero power with lifesteal every turn). "Your spells have lifesteal" is actually not as bad as the hero power IMHO, since lock has very few direct damage spells outside of hellfire and soulfire (which wouldn't be run in a deck like this anyways, since it discards stuff).

[@otfan522botjournalismisdea2]

Thoughts on #freehongkong ?

[@swordflay7384]

A KZbinr who just does gaming like trump doesn’t want to take sides in political arguments

[@Kappi__]

Yea would be kinda stupid. Most viewer dislike every video that isn't even HS 🤣

[@sdsprd]

He's Taiwanese American, so either he cares immensely or doesn't care at all. Or he supports that Kaosiung mayor guy and is just insane.

[@WishMish15]

Could potentially have vindictive felguard attack a random enemy minion because chances are it wont get off too many attack before dying? then becomes similar to the warrior rush mummy?

[@anonymouspotato3259]

Who’s watching in 2020 when there are so many dragons

[@georgefan2977]

Warlock isn't a burst class. But actually, non of the classes are burst since the charge mechanic isn't a favourable thing now. So what's the point here? I would say the felguard is fine, just needs to read "when you take damage on your turn", which matches the self-damaging theme even more.

[@igormikuska4369]

Dragon slayer's theme is that it is big, also doesn't allow it to have a name change and should be a legendary

[@Chris-vj7qk]

Archetype of Genocide: Choose a minion type: Choose an effect(Damages adjacent, triple damage): 4/2 6 mana

[@Andrew-lo5rk]

16:02 Nice prediction

[@isakahlqvist6888]

always so nice with a new trump video!

[@blahthebiste7924]

Shanan should cap your max health, like Juraxus does, instead of requiring an amount of self-damage. Low max HP with tons of lifesteal makes for a very interesting game in my experience, as your opponent no longer cares about chip damage, but it still looking for a way to burst you down.

[@mr.outlaw231]

6:15 I would think this should have the complete opposite in terms of cost. Have it cost 10 to 12 and minus 1 for each card in the opponent's hand. It could be used as "In case of emergencies" sort of card if you have only a few remaining in your hand. The current card is more unbalanced when you consider that the opponent with 0 cards doesn't have any power to fight back.

[@OHA97]

Faeniz reminds me of the panic button in slay the spire you get a lot of armor for a downside

[@boxlad7583]

The dragon slayer seems like an Obvious reference lmao

[@alewis514]

Chorus could be good if it was limited to 2 triggers. One on play, second on subsequent chorus minion play. This way you wouldn't be able to snowball these effects completely out of control

[@maciekbajorek5514]

12:18 imagine he's talking about Dr boom instead, kinda accurate

[@tizianodivozzo5246]

Was is it necessary to change the name of card while balance it?

[@paquio100]

Dragon Slayer made me put my grasses on, and nothing will be wrong.

[@daniellim6034]

Dat Mecha'thun edit tho 10:56

[@Daniel-Star]

I think Chromatus would just need cast a random dragon essence to be fine to exist. All of the essences are powerful but not all of them would always be good to get, and it's a big deal to hold 5 dead cards in hand till you get to 10 mana and your Chromatus.

[@hulkhooligan2241]

yea but turn 9 voone with 2 dragons + chromatus is just too powerful even with the rng edit

[@Daniel-Star]

@@hulkhooligan2241 That's a crazy rare setup and still might not win you the game, there are a lot of OTK combos and Chromatus is not one of them if there is RNG involved.

[@pietpaulusma4785]

those thumbnails man, they always get me

[@Cuestrupaster]

The thing with the "Dragonslayer" is that it's the weapon from Berserk, it can't be changed, but it would be awesome as the way Trump designed it, so you would change all the card, even the photo, becoming a totally new card...

[@vicio19995]

blood curse shanan "you just take ll the fun from your opponent" *dr boom, jaina lichknight, guldan dk* : laughts in the distance

[@whoshotyaxox]

Inner focus art is from the WoW trading card game, awesome!

[@blackout4475]

Chromatus is holding 5 dragons on board or in the hand ?

[@jaojintalonis92]

What if you gave bloodcurser shanan lifesteal and changed the battlecry to: If your hero power has dealt 10 or more damage this game, transform it? Most of the overpowered aspect you mentioned was the lifesteal on spells, but the hero power is actually an interesting mechanic that also refills your health and your deck. Could possibly even add "gain 1 life" to the hero power or change it to "drain 1 health from a minion"

[@thelonebraincell5908]

I found it realy funny when sheildbearer started freaking out

[@dan240393]

Shouldn't Bloodcurser Shanan just replace your hero power (and maybe cost more with more stats)? That already seems pretty usable and a bit less grim to play against.
