Since I first saw lost city, I didn't (and still don't) think the on-buy drawback is enough to keep Lost City from being OP.

Got a daily quest today for 3 wins with a warrior and discovered it is really hard to win with a warrior (at least without other cards that I don't have yet).

<Undertaker>
I totally didn't notice that anti-synergy either until Scott pointed it out, but it can easily be fixed by having the on-play effect put cards on top of the deck.
<Cordwainer>
I agree it'd be a lot better if it did the hand reveal before drawing.
My favorites here are Parade and Heir, but Undertaker's probably my #3.

I just got a reward for winning my 100th game in play mode. It's says it's a Hearthstone card mount and that I need to log into Heroes of the STorm to claim it. What's Heroes of the Storm? And what does this card mount do? Is this another completely pointless reward like those golden basic cards?

Dominion General Discussion / Re: Interview with Donald X.
« on: February 26, 2016, 08:19:02 pm »<cough>IGG<cough>Raid<cough>Would you ever consider getting around an issue like that by simply removing "attack" from the type? That would of course simply make the card stronger as it prevents reactions from working. And I'm sure plenty of people would complain about it as in "this card really should be an attack!"I don't think I want an attack that doesn't say "attack."

At least an Arena run always gives you a pack. Getting 25 gold on a 0-3 doesn't seem too bad actually. Plus, the experience is valuable too.
I'd rather it cost 50gp and not give a pack to be honest.
I like getting a pack when I play arena. It's good how it is.

Types: Action
Cost: $2
+1 Action. Trash a card from your hand. Look at one card from your deck per $ in its cost. You may put one of them into your hand and discard any number of the others. Put the rest back in any order.
Other cards from 2014 may be resubmitted as is, tweaked, or discarded in favor of a new concept.
Isn't Observatory a Raze that can't trash itself?
Yes, pretty much, but the earlier contest that this was entered in took place a while before adventures came out. So the author of this card had the honor of thinking up an official card before Donald did.

Yeah, these are fun to consider as a thought experiment, and several would be worth trying out (though probably with tweaks). I'll look a little longer later leopard.
I think my favorite is the "+1VP per unspent buy" idea of Anti-goons. Play with LF's Charlatan in the kingdom...

Why is there such a short time limit for turns? At least twice I ran out of time with more things I would've done.
EDIT: Just played a game that was a little too close. We kept trading minions while not doing each other much damage until I ran out of cards and my opponent had about 6 left (I had played a nourish at some point for +3 cards and another drawing card or two). We both had about nine hit points left, but my opponent had a few more minions to play. My very last card was a gnomish inventor. I resigned.

Another thing no one mentioned: It's also great with spoils since you can play them and still buy alms.
I've had adventures IRL for awhile now, but there's a few cards I took some time before introducing to my play group because of the way it changes games. Alms is one of them (others include ferry, page, and swamp hag).

« on: February 14, 2016, 01:04:32 am »Cool, does it last for the rest of the game? (5 mana on turn 4?)there's a druid card, Wild Growth, that gives an empty mana crystal. I don't get it. What does that do?
If I cast wild growth on turn 2, I gain a mana crystal. I can't use it turn 2, but my next turn, I'll have 4 mana.
What do you mean by 'don't let him have a board'?...an opponent just played a card that gave his minion +10/+10. Such a card should not exist.
That's one of the cards Arch-Thief Rafaam can make. That card costs 10 mana. If your opponent plays Rafaam, do not let him have a board. Just don't. And keep a board clear ready for the 3/3 mummies.
EDIT: A mage plays a minion that gives +5 spell damage. Do they give any thought to balance when making these cards?

This is also really strong against Gardens, Goons, or Vineyard and probably others (unless you have good trashing with Goons). doesn't look fun.
I think you missed that it only works on actions, which should take care of some of the problems you mentioned. But yeah, a fixed price is simpler and maybe better anyway.

I mostly agree that it's still much better to get cards free by playing than to have to pay for them, but shouldn't the matchmaking in play mode match you against someone with a similar amount of cards?
Also, an opponent just played a card that gave his minion +10/+10. Such a card should not exist.
On a better note I won two games in a row (before the game where the guy played the +10/+10 card).
Also, there's a druid card, Wild Growth, that gives an empty mana crystal. I don't get it. What does that do?

My quick initial reactions:
Artisan: looks nice for after you've trashed down.
Bootstraps: Play an action during your buy phase? doesn't work. nope.
Border Crossing: seems good.
Call to Arms: On buy/on gain discarding attacks have been shown to be unfun. This event is the same thing, even when slowed by the journey token. And the gold gaining would be crazy in multiplayer games.
Discovery: I like it. It's kind of overshadowed by Summon, but summon can be slightly OP anyway.
Dragon's Offerings: Doesn't look fun. Any why is the trashing from the supply on there?
Event: blah.
Odyssey: interesting. Depending on the kingdom, could still be way OP even with an opponent choosing the card.
Plague: I think this should have a set cost and not be cheap. If you win the curse split, you can make that difference even bigger. This is also really strong against Gardens, Goons, or Vineyard and probably others (unless you have good trashing with Goons). doesn't look fun.
Prediction: weak, but might be okay for those times when you have a coin left over. doesn't look interesting though.
Refuge: The trade-off for the gaining might be good, but it could do without the drawing in the buy phase.
Salvage Yard: Looks good for games with tfb or trashing attacks.
Time walk: I might like it if the duration token was a one-shot (gets removed after it turns the card into a duration once). But if the duration token stays, it could cost $8 and still might be broken.

Variants and Fan Cards / Re: LA's list of tested fan cards (& games played with fan cards)
« on: February 13, 2016, 08:28:10 pm »either way would be fine with me. I was just going by what I think the designer intended.Adding that clause seems like it would break the card. I trash down. Now Hoarder reads: "Reveal your deck. Take a lot of time reordering it to perfectly run your engine or set up for the next few turns". Even without this extreme case you may end up having to reorder a bunch of cards. It would get slow.
I added that line just as a clarification because I'm pretty sure that was the intent of the original card. Should I make it "Put cards costing more back on your deck in random order" to keep it from taking too long?
What's wrong with a card that can choose between being a Smithy for cheap cards and a risk-less terminal Lookout? Does the original say anything about putting back the expensive cards? I'd have you discard them.
