GUEST JUDGE SPECIAL - Top Custom Cards of the Week #64 | Card Review | Hearthstone 

BTW - the name of the team is "Bird Girls Unlimited" - thought it was a joke at the end because the card was that 'bad'. Didn't even realize he said bad girls for all cards :D ~ Jens

Regis: “I like big strong thing. Big strong thing make good feeling.”

Divine intervention is a paladin spell not a priest spell -1 star to design

9:33 play the mirror > draw crystal ball > play crystal ball > draw opponent crystal ball > play the new crystal ball > draw another crystal ball > notice the misplay > concede

I feel like the intention with Nathanos Blightcaller could have been a 'shifting scroll' type effect, where he'd gain a different deathrattle each turn he is in your hand - not stacking. I think that would make for a really cool card.

“One mana draw a card isn’t okay” *looks at Crystology*

Why isn't Stargazing in Mage? They're the stargazers...

6:40 How about "After you cast a spell, this may attack *a minion* again"?

4:27 trump's bias against birds revealed

Wait. Is it bird or bad girls unlimited? Jens actually changed the text on one of them.

Mimic tentacles counters hard Magma rager

The one time I get a card to the top of custom hearthstone he doesn't review that week

I think Tools of the Trade should definitely be a Rogue card. Although, I think it should instead be a 0 cost legendary spell that says "Discovers a Spell from another class. Spend 4 mana to keep all 3." That way you don't wind up finishing the Rogue quest without the use of another burgle card, and you can't do it until turn 4. You can use it for value, or for a quick answer that doesn't require you to pay anything extra to use some of the answers like Plague of Death. It also grants Rogue the flexibility of using this card for cycle, or to combo off of. Maybe rename the card to "Surveillance." The more investment into Sureviling, the more information you get from them, and it's usually something you do before you strike which is fitting as a potential combo card enabler. I also recognize the card is quite overturned due its flexibility, and it would be too strong if there were multiple copies of it in the deck. That's why I wanted to make it a legendary.

"After you cast a spell, this may attack again (but only minions)" would fix the Faithful Starhound.

Divine intervention is a paladin spell from classic that killed the paladin but healed everyone in the raid

"Tools of the Trade" reminds me of old Cabalist´s tome.

With nathanos I think the wording is bad. I think it was intended to replace their deathrattle each turn, like you would replace the earlier deathrattle with a new one

Wonder if the Nathanos card is intending to work like shifter Zerus where it only has one death rattle that changes each turn and you can choose which one to have? Although as it’s worded it should work as trump said

I read that thumbnail as "Judd Trump" expecting a nice snooker video lol

I love the starhound idea so much tho, they should just change the text to “gain windfurry after you cast a spell” or something. Or make it cost more and tweak the stat line.

Best episode I've seen in a while. Those peeps at the subreddit sure come up with really interesting events. Must feel great to be a part of that community.

I feel like he harped on Starhound a bit much. If you just tack on “Can’t attack the enemy hero,” the card is just fine.

I feel like the last card could be salvaged if it was something like "Battlecry: Discover 3 deathrattles for this minion" or some variation on that.

What happens if you play Tools of the Trade and pick the bundle with 2 mana? Do you become overloaded next turn by 3 or something?

Trump continue making videos on custom hearthstone cards, the are pretty darn cool!

For Nathanos, I think it could be changed to an 8 mana 7-7 that changes his deathrattle each turn to a random, similar to Shifter Zerus. Scaling on a minion card is just too dangerous.

I wonder how Crystal Ball would work with King Toggwaggle. I can't really see a way that would be useful, but possibly funny

“Cards scale while in your deck” Cries in Jumbo Imp

Does the whispmother or whatever not work with Druid quest?

faithful starhound could be fixed by just making the effect only last the turn it is played (It seems like that's the point since it has rush)

Nathalos could be a card that gain the deathrattle of minions from other classes you played this game. Then maybe call it gravedigger or something like that to make the theme/flavor fit.

I get I’m a little late to this but if Aessina interacts with ossirian tear, isn’t it too strong? A 6 mana 42/42 is a little bonkers. (I couldn’t find clarification on how it works)

I think Rolling Boulder would also make a really cool secret after your opponent buffs a minion or something like that

I think the thought behind Nathanos Blightcaller is that it wouldn't add random deathrattles to itself, but more shuffle through them like shifter zerus. It would still be a bad card, but not as bad

I think if you changed the starhound to “whenever you cast a spell, this may rush again” maybe its not exactly clear but i think the effect would be fair, if not a tad weak.

Faithful Starhound feels exactly like Repeating Moss, a minion that attacked again whenever you casted a spell. And it's in the buffing class.

Nathanos could start at your hand, so you could garantee it gets deathrattles stacked on to it?

At 13:12 they gotta throw that in the game so disguised toast can get: restore 8 health to the enemy hero, summon a minion from your opponents hand, deal 5 damage to your hero*

Damn I actually love Crystal ball, hope it gets printed!

That Gnomish pogohopper could be broken in rogue thou. If you shadow step them they dont just grow but draw cards and drew more of those that you shuffled.

For tool of the trade, it should be like: add 3 more mana for the spell if you pick the mega bundle

The rolling boulder card rocks.

Divine Intervention was a Paladin spell in WoW though, 5 stars design is criminal.

And isnt druid quest with wispmother aessina 6 6/6? Why isnt this problem? Or does it work differently?

tbh "rolling boulder" could be way better with different art/title text. like "mutual destruction" and then depicting two hunters facing off with giant guns or something

I actually really like Stargazing's design. I'd prob go back to playing Control Priest because of it (and some of the new dragons, of course).

just right upload on dinner

Came in too soon to make a comment about anything in the video. I don’t even know who the guest judge is yet!

Wispmothe raessina would also be a trouble machine with the current druid quest play it on curv with the quest's reward and you end up with a 6 mana 1/1 + 2/2 + 3/3 + 4/4 + 5/5 + 6/6 + 7/7 on turn 6

For mimic tentacles maybe could give it a battlecry gain 3 armour or something? would that make it useful? maybe two armour?

An Ace Attorney thumbnail? That's cool~

Dodging the Floop issue, what if you choose 6 times between +1 attack or +1 health and at the end summon a copy of it. If that is too strong, make it chose one 5 times.

I would totally Play Blightcaller, the Rng Value/Meme is great, top deck 24/7

Nathanos can be salvaged if it 'changes' the deathrattle instead of adding, and bump it to...maybe 7/7?

Cool special eps.!

Undamaged minions are only mentioned in Rogue class. It should have been a Rogue spell without restoring health part. Design 1 star.

mimic tentacles could be nasty in control warrior

Mimic Tentacles in wild Step 1: Your opponent has Molten Giant Step 2: Play Violet Illusionist so you don't take a bunch of damage Step 3: Hit the giant with the weapon Step 4: Congratulations! You now have a 20 attack 2 durability weapon spending just 6 mana It might not be the most reliable or competitive but dang that would be fun to see

How does wispmother aessina react to ossirean tear? 7 6/6 or a 1/1 than 2/2 etc.

Crystal ball is awesome.

Wispmother Aessina is not broken with quest druid. Explore the Darkness is Choose Twice, but is unaffected by quest. This wouldn't be either.

Stargazing is op, priests are known to have a lot of low cost cards so you just pick divine spirits and inner fire with some low cost cards along with that to make sure you always get the combo cards

Whispmother aessina + quest = 6 mana 34/34 in board (and with flobbidinous floup = 48/55 after FOR 4 MANA) tell me if i'm wrong in the value because i'm not sure

4:02, hieak the bat + floop.

how about the steam cloud deals 1 dmg to your hero when discarded or played so you at least lose some health

Did episode 64 die?

How about giving faithful starhound a "If you cast a spell this may attack a minion"? Or only let it attack minions to begin with.

Nathanos should instead have "At the end of your turn, this card gains a random deathrattle." Still has high variance but it's not useless to topdeck and would make for fun plays. I'm never a fan of stuff that changes the card text while it's in your hand, aside from cards that turn into other cards. And with the low health he can be killed easily. Probably wouldn't see play still but maybe there's a way for rogue to stall to let him build up in deathrattles?

What I would do to fix Faithful Starhound is « Rush, After you cast a spell, destroy then summon this minion »

If Tools of the Trade was a Bear loaded down with gear, it would have been a 5 star design easy imo

Phoenix attorney refference, nice

13:40 Maybe it could be balanced if it said "gain a random Deathrattle from a minion from your deck", still would be pretty meh but definetly way more balanced than the one on the screen.

I wonder who won... Very hard to tell this far in the future

2:16 A cool card the art is great too 3:02 You misunderstood the card pick the stats you want then you get the original and a summoned copy, you wouldn't 7 1/1s etc. you'd get 2 7/1s, 2 1/7s, or anything bewteen. In my opinion this card should say Choose One Six Times so that it'd work with the Druid Quest and be 2 7/7s Rolling Boulder is a great card and definitely fits Hunter

Alessina and Galvadon have the same amount of interactions if you concider playing the card(s)

Prist can kill you turn 5 if a minion survives, how is that any diferent that the starhound?

In my *opinion* Rolling Boulder is bit too strong. Crushing walls cost 7 and is capable of killing two minions, which both could be placed there on the sides of the 'important minion' and have some strong deathrattle which prevents crushing walls from being an optimal choice of play. This one is a 4-mana assassinate, if you have no minions - you can kill a minion of your choice for free, if opponent has one or two minions on board you can play one with a powerful deathrattle and just 'detonate it' with this card while at the same time killing 1-2 enemies. Also a very important thing to mention, what if some minion is expensive because is immune to being targeted by spells? You can just place a minion and push it with some cheaper ones, or simply use a potentially insane combo with "Unleash the hounds", allowing you to easily clear the most dangerous threat/s with just those two cards(Hounds and boulder). In my opinion crushing walls would be overpowered if not the fact that the opponent playing against it(at least an experienced one), seeing that is facing a hunter, would know that should play around this specific card and keep an eye out on the positioning, and even if the hunter manages to manipulate it to his advantage and use the crushing walls on the opponent, it costs an entire 7 mana and requires additional setup or opponent not playing around it at all and getting punished for it. All that, vs something actually *a lot* cheaper, with potential easier setup, potentially no possibility of playing around it(because of "Unleash the hounds" especially, or some cheap, maybe 4-cost minion that spawns few others, can turn the positioning to the hunter's advantage and kill any(Even spell-target-immune!) minion of choice with potential of killing 2! The card itself would be alright if not some potential really powerful combos... just like some other cards that in my opinion really shouldn't exist/should be severely nerfed.. I don't know if I would give it 6 mana cost, but 4 is definitely too little, and the potential to kill 2 spell-immune buff minions is just 'bit' too strong don't you think? Either way, that's just my *opinion*, no one has to agree with me ^^ PS: About the other ones, I agree pretty much, though the "Wishmother Aessina" is possibly not even 2 star balance but 1, and what I wish to point out specifically, it is not the "Floop" that's the main issue, but the cards that potentially buff the minions that are in player's hand.

Wispmother with the druid quest = Full board of 7/7? a board with 1/1, 2/2, 3/3, 4/4, 5/5, 6/6, 7/7?

nathanos : better statline /rush. battlecry gain a random deathrattle for each deathrattle minion you have played this game.

Wait, hunters have positioning cards? I thought it would just be dire wolf alpha.

I just want to say now, with the new priest legendary coming out, Crystal Ball would shatter the meta in half.

Put "Can't attack heroes" on Faithful Starhound

Now in the future imagine a board full of 7/7's oh and if you return one to your hand (somehow) another bird of 7/7's though I would run that deck

Ace Attorney thumbnail!

rolling boulder is also really good with deathrattle hunter. 4 Mana destroy 2 enemy minions and pop your egg! busted!

thank you for uploading something other than Battlegrounds.

11:10just realized these murlocs are the league of explorers

Nathanos blightcaller battlecry: discover a deathrattle apply it 3 times to this card

I now need Trump to play Ace Attorney

Pointer: hungry drawtron should have a condition and not an effect.

The wispmother will just get you 2 copies of 4/4 or 1/7 or 7/1 etc. It won't give you let's say 5 2/2 minions as you said. If i'm wrong feel free to correct me :)

4:25 Trump rly simping for a sparkle dragon avatar?

Faithful Star Hound could work with the added text of "Cannot attack heroes."

(not on r/customHearthstone so putting my card idea here) Patient Squire 3 mana 2/2 Battlecry: if this was the left most minion in your hand, this gains +2/+2

Faithful Starhound should say "can't attack Heroes."

Where's #64?

trump is like the simon cowell of hearthstone

3:30 what about untapped potential... You get 7 7/7s

wispmother also is broken with quest driud. simply a 6 mana 7/7 board

Going to be honest I think that Nathanos would be terrible design, Undatakha I believe is all I need to say, but Nzoth also gets a mention because you would 100% have to have him in a deathrattle deck if you wanted to play him, it's honestly just not a good idea for him to exist and I genuinely hope Blizzard dont add something like that card into the game.
