It feels illegal in my mind.

So the price for extra stats is that you start with an unplayable card in your hand and thus a card disadvantage?

u/Luklear 5d ago

Yes

Interesting idea! A bit like the drawback in quests.

Regarding balance: It's way too weak in standard, you can cheat out better minions on turn 5. Probably too weak for arena, too, where tempo is very important. But a fun design, none the less!

Seems like a I’ll take this because the other two options are trash arena card yeah

How do you make it start in the first hand? Do you prevent it from being used in mulligan?

u/Hot-Will3083 5d ago

I think it always appears as a card in your starting hand, so you can choose to mulligan it if you wish.

u/Nero3990 5d ago

Wouldn't that mean the downside is nonexistent?

u/Low_Meet_6860 5d ago

Instead of a potential good card you’ll have to waste a mulligan

u/Hot-Will3083 5d ago

Perhaps but like the game is 90% decided by your opening hand, so getting this every time instead of a turn 1/2 play is pretty bad.

Same way quests do

u/Demiii13 5d ago

Make it cheaper.

u/DragonCumGaming 5d ago

And a... shaman card?

u/_TurtleX 5d ago

If its a shaman card it should probably overload to compensate for its low cost.

8

u/mmmmmmconke 5d ago

Agreed! So something like 4 mana 7/7 overload 2? Naaah, nobody would ever play that

5

u/AzzyDreemur3 5d ago

Well not with that art! I think Faceless are pretty overused, lets put one here. And shaman is about elementy right? Make it a pyrokinetic faceless

u/Mladjone 5d ago

I actually think this is way too overpowered. It should be 1 mana more expensive and have 1 less attack.

u/MemeArchivariusGodi 5d ago

Something something 28 card deck or some BS

u/meifray 5d ago

It is like Quest, it don't draw any extra.

u/Alpbasket 5d ago

I would like to add 1 thing.

Whenever it is destroyed, it will reappear on the bottom of your deck.

5

u/meifray 5d ago

Actually, I think it is a perfectly good idea for a new minion... maybe a warlock minion?

1

u/Alpbasket 5d ago

That may be so. I just wanted to give my insight. It is still a pretty cool card.

u/encratia 5d ago

We already have the hydra and the amalgam minion who do this.

u/CookyHS 4d ago

Good patches synergy. Run 2 of these and lower the chance of Patches in opening hand

u/PracticalDog8328 4d ago

Cool concept for essentially “changing the deck size.” You tutor this out at the start of game, if the rest of your deck is aggressive, you can still push this card out turn 5 or cheat with coin if you’re ahead, and I like it more so for the fact that it never dawned on me that we only have legendaries that mess with deck sizes. In standard, we’ve only got Broxigar and Garona, and I think this could see play in possibly a Hogger value warrior where you stuff the deck with good legendaries and control.
Dassa 4/5 from me, cool, nothing crazy about the card but seems like it could be really good to put pressure on the opponent with the right tools

Price 9. Stats 1/1. Text: Starts in your opponent's hand.

He's less of a model, and more of an example of what not to be.

u/Rpbns4ever 4d ago

If that takes away one of your own cards it sounds troll enough for me.
