1 Year anniversary! (+Remade Great-father Winter)

WoW I just realized I've been doing this blog for a year now. In that time I've uploaded 45 custom Heartstone cards, had 1340 pageviews and had a total of 1 comment! What a lovely community has this become (I mean that the one person that commented was really nice). That means 100% positive feedback! :D Yeey!

I really think Blizzard is doing a great job with Hearthstone. Love their mechanics and I really like that they did tribal-like expansions such as Goblin's vs. Gnomes and the Dragons, Elementals and Dragonkin from BRM. Besides that I've seen several mechanics that I had hoped for appear in these expansions (such as simmilarity between Drunken Brewmasters & Ogre Brute or the similarity of Summon portal and Unstable Portal or Recombobulator). Ofcourse they are really not the same cards, but to me this shows that I'm thinking in the right direction. Now, if only they would add Father Winter as a minion, I would be happy :D. 

So for this anniversary I recreated my old Father Winter card. This version has a bit different Oracle tekst, the name has been changed to the correct (full) naming. Besides that I changed it from giving a present to your opponent to giving a present to both players (just like E.T.C does). That was the card does at least something useful for yourself :D. Let me know what you think of it!

I hope to create some more cards in the near future. Ofcourse it's not planned on a schedule or anything. Just whenever I'm on the road and an idea comes to my mind, I will try to shape it into a Hearthstone card. I'm looking forward to a new year full of custom cards!

Update: Still missing Dreanei, Tauren and Trolls

Hey everyone. I might not be posting every day (or even week) but I'm still thinking with
carddesigns. I do have several other things that I need to put more focus on (my education for example). So sorry to say, but o new cards today. I do still play Hearthstone and try to make cool tribal-like decks. What I keep noticing is that there are just too few Dreanei, Tauren and Troll minions (yeah I know they are on some spells) in the game.
Even if you would force bad cards into the decks it's impossible to play decks were you only use these races. You could add raptors to the trolls, but even then there are just too few. 

I really hope Blizzard will pay some more attention to at least these races in future update. Now that I'm writing this I also remember that there are too few Blood Elves and Worgen.

On a totally different subject. Don't you just love this art I found in the WoW TCG database. It's soo hilarious, that I wanted to share it here. I really love this artwork.

Crippling Silence

After a short silence from my side :) I decided to create another Hearthstone card. After I looked at some WoW TCG art, I found this true beauty and wanted to create a card with it. In the picture you can see a ninja throwing a Shuriken. 

So I started to think about the possabilities. Ofcourse, it had to be a Rogue card; there is a Ninja (masters of stealth) in it. A shuriken is meant to deal damage or even kill, however, I thought it would not deal much damage against a large creature like a Dragon or Demon. That's why I decided the card should enable those who are stealthed to deal 1 damage. Which is still lethal if you hire the right guys for the cause. 

Crippling Silence is great fun if you combine it with the smaller guys amoung cards. A lot of people tend to ignore Patient Assassin and Mini Mage and prefer other minions in their decks. However, with Crippling Silence, these minions become more useful. If you would have two Patient Assassins on the board, that means four of your opponent's minions are getting killed (if you use the minions themselves as well). By using two Mini Mages, you are looking at 12 damage (again, if you use the minions as well). 

I think Crippling Silence has a lot of potential. Let me know if I'm wrong and discuss the card in the comments below!

Gnomes and Goblins go berserk!

Did you just see that!? Blizzards has heard me wishes! Gnomes and Goblins are going to be added in the upcoming expansion.This means that they there are finally enough minions to play all Goblins or all gnomes. Oh I really love this news. Whoever made this decision, your awesome!

Update: Low-creation rate.

Hellow me gastly fanbase. I wanted to put a update online informing you why it is taking so long for me to create some new cards It's fairly simple... I'm busy with timetaking college assignments. The assignments keep pooring in like a neverending waterfall and I really notice this by looking at my Hearthstone win ratio. It has dropped like a bomb lately. 

However, I do have some itching idea's For example I really want to thinker some more about the Monk class and it's possablities. The hero i'm showing in this post was one of my older creations. At the time I thought, preventing two damage fitted the theme well, however i'm not sure about that anymore. I have some other idea's. So, for those 0 followers out there, please stay tuned! :D More cards will (probably) be updated in the near future!

I'm back and brought some random minions

Runetotem Shaman

Hi guys. I'm a bit busy at the moment, a bit too busy to think of any cool new cards. However I had saved this guy in my folder and had completely forgotten him. He might be a fun card to create more totem based decks with. So, for each totem in play, this minion becomes stronger. However, if those minion are destroyed, Runetotem will shrink in size again. It has 4 mana to keep it out of (without add. spellpower) burn range. 

I hope to create some new cards soon. I keep you updated!
