Introducing: Satyr tribal

So today I’ve created a new Race Hearthstone. Well, not a new race, but I added an existing race called the Satyr. Satyrs are very cool humanoid demons that resemble goats. They can be found in numerous zones throughout Warcraft and have a small cozy place in my hearth. That why I wanted to add them to my other hearth, Hearthstone. :P

So before I describe the cards I should immediately notice two problems. First of all Satyrs are Demons but in order for them to be a in-game race, you can't call them Demons. If you did, it would be very strong and amusable. So you can just call them Satyrs, but's that's equally saying that a Golden Delicious is not an apple but it's just a Golden Delicious. There is another thing: The cards I created seem to align best with the stars of the Hunters and Warlocks. This, while these classes already have strong racial minions. Warlocks play Murloc and Hunters play Beasts.


That said, I still wanted to share these cards because I really like Xavius xD. Xevius is the Satyr Lord. As far as I know he's not in Word of Warcraft, but his sons (the Satyr princes) are. That's why the epic Racial is called the Satyr Prince. All Satyrs revolve around discarding cards. This makes it very usable for Warlock players. They synergise well with: Soulfire, Succubus, Doomguard and even Tracking (for Hunters)

Not all cards benefit directly from discarding. Some require you to have less or more than 15 cards in your deck. This ability is rather similar to how the Zendikar Vampires from MTG work. That might seem weak, but I calculated that with a perfect scenario that is already achieved at turn 6.

Please let me know what you think of the Satyrs. I really like them myself and would love to play them. Maybe they’re a little bit strong at the moment, I don't know. Let me know what you think of that.
