Using Antonidas the Tutor to tutor: Broke Using Antonidas the Tutor to prevent drawing cards when you have no spells left, in order to delay burn: WOKE

I think you could've docked another point from ooze cats design simply for that it makes no sense for it to be a beast since it's basically just ooze in the shape of a beast. But if you removed the tribe, it'd also just make it even more similar to base ooze
this has been one of the better episodes, really enjoyed the insights in what he wants to see in a card and how he thinks about their merits in the game
I was actually thinking for Ooze Cat: Battlecry: Destroy your Opponent's weapon. If you did destroy your opponent's weapon, gain its stats. And then the cat would only cost 1 extra mana because balance reasons.
I dont understand the second sentence. Why can’t it simply be “ destroy your opponent’s weapon and gain it’s stats.” There are many minions whose battle cry can’t take effect and they can still be played without any “if” condition in the card text.
In D&D there is a classic monster called Gelatinous Cube. Which doesn't melt but just devours the inanimate weapons and you can see it floating inside of it. It's also transparent. That's why it adapts, because suddenly, it contains a pointy stick inside and might stab someone.
13:43 I'm going to take a note of hungry student, given all the mana cheat cards being released recently, I'm sure that this card text is going to appear on somewhere in the future. Even if it were to be really strong I'm sure the players of it would justify the balance with "just silence it lol"
Antonidas the Tutor could work with the new C'Thun. The pieces of C'Thun are spells, but you would probably also need to dilute the pool with some card draw and AoE spells
•For Antonidas the Tutor: "Whenever you would draw a card instead Discover a spell in your deck: draw it." Allows for tutoring for good spells and ignoring potentially bad ones. •For Ealonn, Master Metallurgist: "The next time you play a weapon you can choose to pay armor instead." Effect lasts past when the creature dies (Tour Guide style). Unfortunately works for only one weapon. •For Plague Lord Vesh: "Taunt, when this creature takes damage summon a (random OR 1/1) murloc. At the start of your turn, Absorb/Regather your murlocs." The idea here is at the start of your turn Vesh regains the health of the murloc. Maybe the attack, but that seems spooky though. Different enough from other taunts I feel. I agree with the removal from warrior though. *Abosrb/Regather isnt a keyword, it is just a legendary description akin to "wish for the perfect card". Obvious enough that even a new player would understand (I hope).
Trump: I'm not docking points for using old mechanics, but this Adapt mechanic made thematic sense with those Un'Goro minions only. A very simple explanation as to why the ooze would adapt from eating a weapon is that it absorbed it's magical properties. I'm pretty sure every weapon in Warcraft lore has some kind of magic forged into it - or at least every weapon which had a card made. That ooze was fine after just being made neutral.
Am I missing something? Why does the freeze effect fit on what seems to be a regular sea turtle? **edit** I don't think the card's flavor when discussing the Freeze effect makes any sense based on our world, azeroth's world, or most importantly the art on the card. I apologize to those wanting to weigh in their opinions but I won't be replying to new comments.
From Wowpedia: Oozes are a type of mindless slime creatures. They are known to adapt to their environments, taking on aspects of their surroundings, which may account for the variety of oozes seen on Azeroth and beyond. These strange creatures share an elemental heritage, but have been corrupted by the powers of chaos. Now they exist as tortured masses of semi-sentient goo.
@@thegamingwolf5612 Ok, but given that oozes like to swallow weapons and are known to adapt to their environments, it's not a stretch to say that you could combine these two things. I mean, do turtles in wow freeze enemies?
Trump: Makes no sense for an ooze to change properties after eating something Also Trump: a random sea turtle that shoots out a ray of frost at something when it dies?? BRILLIANT
suppress pain should have at least -1 design star bc pain supression is a Priest spell and buffing is also a priest trait nowadays (also with quest, priests might want to have minions with 1 health left and a small cost buff)
Baby Krush in Battlegrounds used the idea of summoning a minion to attack the minion before attacking, which works better because of the auto-battler mechanic. If the minion dies before Baby Krush can get their attack off, their attack is just skipped altogether.
fun fact: in previous videos, some cards (not all) had an old keyword, but was made for that expansion. this would've let them have a better design score, but trump apparently didn't read what expansion it came from.
6:00 Ealonn, Master Metallurgist ; i would give her a dormant effect to simulate that she is 'forging' the weapon you are about to play when she awakens. I would probably down the mana cost to 2 (maybe 1) , maybe shift the stats to 4 healht than also. Just so she can be played a little bit earlier, and to make it playable for investment
I think you may have misread Felmage Khadgar. My reading is that spell power would also increase the attack granted by the Demon Hunter hero power as well. Not sure if that changes how the card would perform that much, but it's a thought.
He forgot to do his trademark "design X stars balance X stars" for that particular card. After all the negative points he mentioned he did downgrade the design to 1 star so what you see in the video is correct I just didnt realize he mentioned the 3 star rating earlier otherwise I would have cut that. The balance rating is just my guess based on the stuff he said btw. ~Jens
I think it should be changed to "for the rest of the game, spell power can improve...". but that might be op or reminicent of that old 2/2 prince that buffed all your minions in deck
10:25 Contract Killer sadly i dont think hearthstone is evolved to the point where you can target something on the board without your opponent noticing.
Oh Mr. Trump, they fixed the canceled attack thing waaaay back with the Blackguard / truesilver champion combo. I used to run that deck but they nerfed it same patch by fixing the thing you're talking about!
I think the adapt thing kinda makes sense to me cos like: +3 attack is like a fiery war axe, +1 +1 is an upgrade, the plants is like a vinecleaver, wind fury is doomhammer, stealth/ can’t be targeted is more niche but the rogue thing that makes u immune. Tho tbf the health thing doesn’t make sense
Good on Trump for recognizing the three legendaries lacking some Oomph. With the warrior one, what if you changed it so that your cards cost armor, not just weapons? Could you have a control warrior that tries to draw into an OTK combo?
When talking about the beezapper 4000 you mention that if an attack is cancelled the character can attack again, this is wrong. Yesterday i played paladin, with truesilver champion equipped and also had the old card "blackguard" (the one that deals damage to enemy minions whenever you are healed). I used truesilver to attack a minion and it died of blackguards effekt but I could not attack again.
My only problem with Contract Killer, is the targetable arrow animation displayed to the opponent when targeting something. In comparison to Fatespinner Chromatic Egg and Jandice, the arrow really affects the card's effectiveness
I would probably change the Antonidas to instead read as "Instead of drawing, at the start of each round discover a mage spell" or some such. Still not a great card but more usable.
It can be “draw a card or discover a spell from your deck” and a condition can be there that every time you discover a spell, it’s health reduces by 2. Similar to the mage weapon we have now.
i think contract killer actually has a problem. the way hearthstone works, your opponent would be able to see which minion you target, which kinda gets rid of the cool part of the card. im sure you could technically do it in a way where they wouldnt be able to tell, but you should never ever be at a disadvantage because of how you play cards.
That card that lets you only draw spells would be cause some serious coding issues. What happens when you don't have any spells left in your deck and you try to draw a card? Would you just not draw anything? Would you get fatigue damage with cards left in your deck? Either way it would be bizzare behavior
Glad you turned over that new leaf, good job! My take (I do it before Trump's review per card): Ooze Cat: Cute, makes sense, nice! Antonidas the Tutor: Hm, I like the effect, very novel! Not sure about the cost and stats though. Ealonn, Master Metallurgist: A novel effect for sure but it gives me OP vibes. Not sure about this one. The design is a little muddy with how you will spend mana to get armor then spend armor to play weapons, and so on. Plague Lord Vesh: I like it! Has a lot of flavor. It might conflict a lot with Warrior's "damage all minions" cards. Beezapper 4000: Cool idea! It might be too loaded for a common though. The constant pauses in animation for summoning the bees might get annoying though. There are some questions about how this'd work with stuff like Freezing Trap as well. Contract Killer: I'm not a fan of stealth as it's a broken mechanic. The contract reward doesn't feel that exciting (I know, you get paid with a coin, I getchu). The secretly picking stuff was a Druid only thing, wasn't it? Overall, the target picking stuff feels tacked on only for the flavor. It makes the card a little complicated for not a lot of gain. Often there'd be no real gameplay twist provided by the ability of this card because A) it has stealth, so killing it before it kills something is very hard, so you can most likely fulfill your contract anyway and B) there will be times when you play this with only one enemy minion in play and then the secret won't even be a secret to anyone. I feel like the card is lacking because of this and could be improved. Right now, looking at how it practically works, it might as well say "When this kills a minion, add a Coin to your hand." for a simpler design with less chaff or say "Deathrattle: Add a Coin to your hand." because it's likely to die in combat anyway. Felmage Khadgar: Not much to say here, simple but novel ability, I like it. Hungry Student: Heh, I can see the whacky stuff going on with this, I like. It might have too much health for a murloc. Suppress Pain: Simple, clean, on flavor. I like. Might be hard to remember that the minion can't die from damage on your turns though. Deep Sea Turtle: Why is this top of the week? lol The effect seems kind of random and not fitting. Eh. It also might just freeze the thing that attacked it because it can hardly kill anything with its 1 attack, somewhat wasting its ability for that turn. It's like Voodoo Hexer but more complicated, unless you went for some deathrattle synergy stuff.
Long time ago i designed a card and posted on hearthpwn that was very similar to "hungry student". The difference is that it was a warlock card and it discarded the card, also i made it a 4/2 for 4 if i remember correctly.
the dangerous thing about hungry student is that blizzard won't be able to add deathrattle sinergy for two years, and even then, wild will be a problem
I can see Antonidas having a deck. Only drawing Spells isn't the point - it's that you cannot draw minions, and your minions therefore stay in the deck!
I think Vesh is pretty solid considering that tossing buffable minions into the board as Shaman, specifically as a finisher in the end game as an aggressive Murloc deck, is a valuable effect. It's no where near useless. If you manage to push hard early on you can drop Vesh on turn 7 and most answers will be clumsy. It's also near perfect flavor wise on top of that.
Well I think Antonidas could see play in some combo decks, some spell burn decks, some spell damage decks (when you have enough spell damage setup, you try to find your damage spells and boom)
i think you should put one more category like flavor, where you rate the flavor of the card. I mean, design feels like it's a bundle between the idea of the card (illustration, name...) and the technicality (old keywords KekW, type, dual class...) it pains me to see cards with a very good flavor getting 3 in design because of an unpractical wording. still the best serie of the hearthstone community tho
Wait do cancelled attacks for minions work like that? I know that's not how cancelled attacks work for heroes since I have seen it before with blackguard and truesilver and you cant attack again. I guess this proves trumps point about the mechanic being confusing.
Request, can we make tge balance star different colors for over or under powered. So to indicate the diference of a card that is 1 stat because is too weak, stars are red. And a card that os 1 star because it is too op, stars yellow

I read Antonidas the Tutor as "draw Lunas pocket galaxy". It's a specific spell you want to draw in a minion focused deck.
•For Antonidas the Tutor:
"Whenever you would draw a card instead
Discover a spell in your deck: draw it."
Allows for tutoring for good spells and ignoring potentially bad ones.
•For Ealonn, Master Metallurgist:
"The next time you play a weapon you can choose to pay armor instead."
Effect lasts past when the creature dies (Tour Guide style). Unfortunately works for only one weapon.
•For Plague Lord Vesh:
"Taunt, when this creature takes damage summon a (random OR 1/1) murloc.

The idea here is at the start of your turn Vesh regains the health of the murloc. Maybe the attack, but that seems spooky though. Different enough from other taunts I feel.

Beezapper 4000: Cool idea! It might be too loaded for a common though. The constant pauses in animation for summoning the bees might get annoying though. There are some questions about how this'd work with stuff like Freezing Trap as well.
Contract Killer: I'm not a fan of stealth as it's a broken mechanic. The contract reward doesn't feel that exciting (I know, you get paid with a coin, I getchu). The secretly picking stuff was a Druid only thing, wasn't it? Overall, the target picking stuff feels tacked on only for the flavor. It makes the card a little complicated for not a lot of gain. Often there'd be no real gameplay twist provided by the ability of this card because A) it has stealth, so killing it before it kills something is very hard, so you can most likely fulfill your contract anyway and B) there will be times when you play this with only one enemy minion in play and then the secret won't even be a secret to anyone. I feel like the card is lacking because of this and could be improved. Right now, looking at how it practically works, it might as well say "When this kills a minion, add a Coin to your hand." for a simpler design with less chaff or say "Deathrattle: Add a Coin to your hand." because it's likely to die in combat anyway.
Felmage Khadgar: Not much to say here, simple but novel ability, I like it.
Hungry Student: Heh, I can see the whacky stuff going on with this, I like. It might have too much health for a murloc.
Suppress Pain: Simple, clean, on flavor. I like. Might be hard to remember that the minion can't die from damage on your turns though.
Deep Sea Turtle: Why is this top of the week? lol The effect seems kind of random and not fitting. Eh. It also might just freeze the thing that attacked it because it can hardly kill anything with its 1 attack, somewhat wasting its ability for that turn. It's like Voodoo Hexer but more complicated, unless you went for some deathrattle synergy stuff.
17:27 A (2) mana 1/4 beast with Taunt. Yea this would fit perfectly into Hearthstone, which is known to power crap Silverback Patriarch. Love it.
That Khadgar image is hilarious
You said 3 stars for design on Felmage Khadgar, but it showed 1 star.
8:20 Last time he said this, they made Lorekeeper Polkelt. So now you know what you might find in the new expansion
11:37
I was JUST thinking about making that an effect a few days ago, the heck?
Long time ago i designed a card and posted on hearthpwn that was very similar to "hungry student". The difference is that it was a warlock card and it discarded the card, also i made it a 4/2 for 4 if i remember correctly.
9:36 the cancel attack thing was solved within truesilver champion and dark guard combo
I could see Plague Lord Vesh being Shaman Paladin because both big taunt and murlocs
the dangerous thing about hungry student is that blizzard won't be able to add deathrattle sinergy for two years, and even then, wild will be a problem
I can see Antonidas having a deck. Only drawing Spells isn't the point - it's that you cannot draw minions, and your minions therefore stay in the deck!
Felmage khadgar should’ve been Mage/warlock. Same text.
I think Vesh is pretty solid considering that tossing buffable minions into the board as Shaman, specifically as a finisher in the end game as an aggressive Murloc deck, is a valuable effect. It's no where near useless.
If you manage to push hard early on you can drop Vesh on turn 7 and most answers will be clumsy. It's also near perfect flavor wise on top of that.
Jens, your editing is so good my god. Female Khadgar had me laughing so hard.
Best bait and switch I’ve ever seen
Ok, trump will not decrease design if keyword doesn't fit. Right? I can't see that. So did something change ? :D
Cat: *is a literal skeleton*
Reddit: CUTE!
Trump you shouldnt dock points for old keywords but you should give extra credit if the expansion picture is correct.
A lot of these would be so good in dungeon or arena
Well I think Antonidas could see play in some combo decks, some spell burn decks, some spell damage decks (when you have enough spell damage setup, you try to find your damage spells and boom)
Ayy yo the thumbnail hitting different 😳
The Warrior/Paladin card should be called "Refuse to Die" I think
I wasn't ready for Khadgar at all.
The Antonitis card would be insane with the New C'thun if the pieces were the only spells in your deck
Antonidas the tutor: 5 mana 3/6. At the start of your turn, draw a spell from your deck.
i think you should put one more category like flavor, where you rate the flavor of the card. I mean, design feels like it's a bundle between the idea of the card (illustration, name...) and the technicality (old keywords KekW, type, dual class...)
it pains me to see cards with a very good flavor getting 3 in design because of an unpractical wording.
still the best serie of the hearthstone community tho
Wait do cancelled attacks for minions work like that? I know that's not how cancelled attacks work for heroes since I have seen it before with blackguard and truesilver and you cant attack again. I guess this proves trumps point about the mechanic being confusing.
Request, can we make tge balance star different colors for over or under powered.
So to indicate the diference of a card that is 1 stat because is too weak, stars are red. And a card that os 1 star because it is too op, stars yellow
Antoninas the Tutor would also disable drawing cards after all spells have been drawn, in a way, he can prevent fatigue as well.
I'd assumed that if you tried to draw but had no spells left you'd just start fatiguing even if you had minions in deck
Trump: Design 1 star
Blizzard designer: I have found a new card idea
Turtle buffed to a 2 mana 1:4 with frosty deathrattle.
Silverback Patriarch: Am I a joke to you?
Everyone: yes.
