my brother in christ just make a new card game already

[@MasteroGaming]

really like that C'thun this mini set will be called Ahn qiraj we already had a mini set after yogg I feel like every old god as a titan in one mini set

[@robertlupa8273]

Mini-set for a Pandaria expansion with Y'shaarj🤩

[@manueldio7237]

These cards a so well designed. Wish blizzard would have printes those. Expect C'thun I guess he would be to strong, even if he looks pretty fun

[@MasteroGaming]

@@manueldio7237 that cthun is balanced with today's meta and powercreep and cards tf u talking about😭😭😭 Sargreas powerlevel is as the same as that one or better

[@manueldio7237]

@@MasteroGaming I just talk about my opinion as you talk about yours. 😘

[@filipvadas7602]

Genuinely suprised they haven't done anything more Ahn Qiraj themed. Hell, all the Old Gods have dungeons/raids associated with them and I'd love to see Solo Adventures and Mini-sets based on them.

[@1KingMajin]

Nicely done. Now we need spells to help our c'thun like a 3 mana spell: "Shuffle C'thun into your deck." Or a 5 mana spell: "Adapt your C'thun"

[@Replosioned]

5 mana do nothing is crazy

[@joaofilipemouragoncalo6371]

Would love to see in wild people run double C'thussy to get double buffs and double damage. Great video!❤

[@becausecontextmatters5260]

The text on Battleguard Sartura looks weird, cause the summon is part of the choose twice. Maybe it should be a Battlecry to summon the beetles and then Choose twice to give them buffs. Also the combo of rush-poisonous is extremely powerful, i doubt you'd want to choose anything else, unless you really need a proactive play and this is your last resort. Maybe Lifesteal would be more balanced.

[@edwardgreene2884]

Twilight warblades may not work as intended, as I am not sure if the deathrattle would trigger before or after you lost the attack granted by the weapon itself.

[@BlututhHS]

I think it'd work since there are minions whose Deathrattles do something depending on their Attack and I don't see why it'd work differently for weapons.

[@skydrille7979]

Battleguard Satura is a little bit weird. The text should be "Battlecry: Summon two 3/3 Beetles. Choose Twice - ...." And choose twice with three out of four options that you are never going to choose twice (rush, poisonous and taunt) is also pretty weird. I think the idea is cool but needs more work

[@glimch-do2ep]

Such cool designs! I also love the enthusiasml Instant sub(:

[@qsns_]

knew that lazul card looked familiar! sweet set :)

[@bobakakorb4822]

The only thing i would change is tarot card names. You could use some of the major arcane cards like instead of "tarot card: rebirth" you could use "the fool" which symbolizes new beginning.

[@teamno.1370]

Ancient Hunger is pretty much Patchwork on steriod lmao Kinda a good thing C'thun is very valunable to removal

[@toxiq5295]

Mega ideas for mini sets

[@taotao1092]

Absolute banger of a set as usual

[@ImfrAfreak]

You are amazing at designing cards, you should be hired at blizzard or any card game company for that matter

[@ImfrAfreak]

the c’hun titan could be played in any deck though, not just c’hun decks

[@neondead2.0.15]

Whispers of the Old Gods is my fav expansion and i really want something more with it : D

[@nesdenon4612]

I knew I already seen the lazul card already , niceee

[@oiseau_de_la_mort]

anubisath giant seems kindda overpowered since C'thun gets those bonus atk really easy and quicly. imho, it should cost far more expensive or have the effect «can't attack» like the giant 7/7 with 4 mana cost (can't remember its name)

[@BlututhHS]

If I gave it "Can't attack" it'd definitely need something like Taunt to be playable, so I'd rather increase the Cost, though I'd probably need to be able to play-test the cards to find the perfect number.

[@oiseau_de_la_mort]

@@BlututhHS well, I just came to thought that might have some effect in the end of the turn. taunt is gonna make him another version of that 7/7 minion but a way better which is not that good, I think

[@oiseau_de_la_mort]

@@BlututhHS oh, just realised I started critisizing the card without even saying à single thing about your idea. my bad, apologizing for that. I do like what you've done, that's incredible! would like to see something like that in the game!

[@BlututhHS]

@@oiseau_de_la_mort In that case I think increasing the Cost is definitely the right approach! And thanks, ha ha 😄 But you don't have to compliment the cards too; any feedback is appreciated, and your comment also helps the KZbin algorithm either way 😉

[@edwardgreene2884]

Wasn't decent of dragons technically the first mini set? Even though it wasn't called that it basically functioned as one.

[@BlututhHS]

The wiki calls it a "mini-set prototype". The main difference was that you needed to complete Solo Adventures to earn the cards, whereas in Mini-Sets you just get them in card packs.

[@bluewuppo]

highlander warrior in standard with these cards would be insane. not only will original cthun deal twice as much damage, but nearly all of the minions that synergize with cthun are battlecries.

[@BlututhHS]

At least C'Thun himself no longer synergizes with Battlecry support, but if the deck ended up being problematic Qiraji Enforcer would probably need to get nerfed.

[@bluewuppo]

@@BlututhHS yeah the titan replacement was really cool! i was just imagining how horrifying the classic one would be with brann

[@Popachroniclop]

great video like always man

[@showd6229]

Choose twice should be after the summon 2 beetles thing, I thought it was an option

[@lighterraptor7607]

Woah this is awesome! Is there a way I can see the entire mini set?

[@BlututhHS]

Unfortunately I just made the cards you saw in the video :/ It's just too much work if I wanna stick to my weekly schedule, so I take some shortcuts in videos like this.

[@bobbobfr43ed]

What does qiraji lieutenant do at 20? The card text cuts off

[@BlututhHS]

I struggled a bit with text space so I had to shorten it a bit, but what I was trying to say with it is "Give +3/+3 to all minions in your hand".

[@gliscaradu1424]

Hm, why not the 6 mana 4/6 Ancient Harbinger instead of kronx?

[@BlututhHS]

I'll be honest I kinda forgot about that one. I guess with Kronx you can also run other 10-cost minions and still always draw C'Thun.

[@letranger8497]

where can I see the y'shaarj titan's abilities?

[@BlututhHS]

Hey, I made the Y'Shaarj Titan for the following video (it also features an Azeroth Titan) kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJDUmp9jpd-VhNU&ab_channel=Blututh

[@ignisterra3305]

Name the series like new keyword - miniaturize. May by even something like "miniaturization of expansion"

[@RoelVandeLoo-cx8is]

Love your content

[@monstermasterv2]

Isn't some of the caverns of time cards based on Ahn'qiraj?

[@BlututhHS]

Yeah, the Qiraji were a pretty prominent part of Caverns of Time (C'Thun was also changed to 8 mana), but I just really wanted to do a C'Thun Titan so I decided to bring it back ;)

[@ShamaticWow]

Litteraly all cards are balanced and fun 😊

[@scrup007]

[@patrickkwon3351]

Looking forward to gadgetzaan

[@BlututhHS]

Me too :D Got some big plans for Gadgetzan!

[@Bruh-el9js]

I like everything except C'thun himself. His simplicity is his charm, and I think it's good to keep his battlecry interactions.

[@Nyxian_Rosa]

These are all really cool, my only thought is that most if not all C'thun decks seem to desire to OTK with their C'thun so I don't really see a scenario when you would want to choose the other abilities over darkglare because if you aren't winning with C'thun the turn you play it you could possibly be losing because you lose access to that big OTK damage. So while I don't mind it being a Titan because I do just love the titan concept I just don't think it will ever be used for it's other abilities especially at 10 mana. That's not to say that this isn't infinitely more interesting. I just feel like it wastes the potential of being a titan by always defaulting to being an OTK with darkglare

[@BlututhHS]

I think you're mostly right, but I also could see the other abilities being used if the opponent is threatening lethal and you need to survive another turn. Like the Eyestalks could potentially save you some face damage, and if they survive you might have a lethal push next turn.

[@purpleman0259]

I think that Lazul is to weak, honestly. Compare her to Symphony, which is actually a really good card, but also was not very good at 6. Symphony is a very flexible card, that can do almost everything by it's own, as disruption, healing board present, and more, for the cost of inconsistency. Lazul, in the contrary, is inconsistent healing, inconsistent removal, and a bad one (expect the take control), and she can actively hurt you, VERY easily, with her Death Tarrot card and the destroy tarrot card. She also just doesn't seem to be good enough for me for a specific deck: for aggro priest, she is very expensive and doesn't build a good board (resurrect in aggro is likely to result in a small minion), and maybe deals some damage to the enemy hero / taking control of a minion. All of this as a 6 mana 6/6, which is NOT something you want to run in aggro unless it's very impactful. The healing doesn't matter and the destroy actively hurts you. The value also doesn't matter. For Control Priest, I also don't think you really want to run this? Yeah, it has some nice effects, like value and some removal, but the removal can come in cost of your Aman'thul or Yogg, as you usually do not run small tokens in Control Priest, and those you do usually come down before turn 6. The ressurct is also very inconsistent, as Control Priest runs a lot of minions, and Lazul herself interfere. The healing is nice, even though it's 6 mana heal 10, and the damage is meaningless, as Control Priests does not care about damage. And the worst thing for you is the Death tarot card, as Control Priest's gameplan is to just stall the game for as long as possible, until fatigue if needed, and this card can very much help your opponent to kill you when there are very little amounts of cards in your deck. Hope this helps, great ideas and video nontheless!

[@BlututhHS]

Thanks for the detailed feedback! 😄 The older version of Lazul had some stronger abilities (but also a much bigger downside), but these were the changes people proposed when I released her. In reality she might not really be playable, and frankly she didn't really fit the theme of my Mini-Set, but I just really wanted to include her as a response to the feedback she originally received.
