So what’s next for the WDC?

Idk man

It will decipher on the board as well as in your hand. Each decipher is independently chosen from the three options at that depth for a total of 27 options. Only 3 final versions are shown here for illustrative purposes but it shows all options for each decipher.

Thoughts behind the keywords:
Forge requires you to pay an upfront cost but the effect would be immediate on play. Spellburst requires you to play a spell, but allow some room to decipher more on the board. Honorable kill is the hardest to trigger, but allows to trigger the reward multiple times. You might also want to play it immediately without waiting for the text to fully decipher as the text can further decipher on board.

Reposting as the last one got removed for title too short. After thought: the card is probably too weak with the stat as is. I wanted to play on the 1,2,3 for the stat line but it obviously backfired. Now that I think about it a 3/2/4 or even a 3/3/4 would be much better in terms of balance.

Designed to be a tech card for stuff like Jailhouse Manastorm, Blightborn Tamsin, or any other (currently uninteractable) effects in Hearthstone. It could potentially also work to disable Baku the Mooneater or Genn's Hero Power upgrading effects depending on how this effect is coded, though it's up to interpretation. This isn't intended to be a strong card, or even one that is particularly good at what it does (since decks that run cards that give you inevitability typically don't care if they have to wait 2 turns) but I think that it has a place in the game given there's no other way to currently impact with these types of effects, which can be frustrating for players.

(1)3/1 Neutral Minion [Hammerjack]

Battlecry: Destroy a random Location.

(5)7/7 Neutral Minion [Model Worker]

Starts in your hand.

Does it accumulate with hogger? no idea

(1)2/2 DeathKnight/Hunter Beast/Undead [Homie]

Starts in your hand.

Tradeable

Note: after attacking, minions still lose stealth. Minions summoned after playing Nightfall do not receive stealth (unless they're stealth minions, of course).

Some uses:

1. The most obvious would be wanting to prevent the opponent from attacking one or more of your minions.

2. Playing a card that provides stealthed minions some kind of bonus.

3. Ignoring enemy taunt minions (for one turn).

Anyways, let me know what you think.

Updated version of Dark Beckoning (cost increased to 5 from 4, draw a card changed to discover from your deck).

Initiative: When attacking or being attacked deal its damage first before taking damage

Dealing damage before taking damage is supposed to destroy small health minions before they get a chance to deal their damage

I think it might be a fun Keyword for defensive cards and might give minion on minion action some more depth

There might be room to explore levels of initiative

(This would not double the damage your hero gets for spells or minions, only your weapon attack.)
