It's still hard to believe that Blizzard made an Allience and a Horde expansion.

Yeah that reveal was crazy!
I feel like Escape is more powerful than Tradeable tho :thinking:

Just want to point out: the Allience epansion somehow managed to make the reverse of the Escape keyword with Tradable.

Use the code {{EMBLEM=custom21}} in your card text :reno:

This is really high quality! I honestly could believe this to be an actual expansion!
Btw, how did you make the custom set icon ?

Agghh!! I'll be waiting your next expansion as if i'm waiting for an ingame one. So excited, hope it comes out soon and can't wait to see it. Good work!

Man, @King Kuba, I'd love to help out with this next project but i don't want to cramp your style (and im sure you like doing it by yourself too). Best of luck on it!

UPDATE!
Both Adventure Mode (Garfang's Return) and Gnolls in Battlegrounds are done! You can find them in the Gallery!
King Kuba (creator)3 years ago
@k1ll3rm0mJr - They are! Each class has a Fugitive; a strong Escape minion which could be useful not only in Escape decks, but other ones as well, often working as finishers or game saviors :reno:
k1ll3rm0mJr 3 years ago
Aren't the Key-mechanics in this expansion Gnolls, Escape and Fugitives?
DustenStein 3 years ago
You don't know how much I'd give to see the angry and demonic Demon Hunters run around with small tiny cute Murlocs.

most awesome thing out of this is Murky. awesome idea

I wouldn't say priest secrets is a key mechanic since it only affects one class and rogue secrets were never a key mechanic
DustenStein 3 years ago
And I think this does have three mechanics:
Gnolls,
Escape and
Priest Secrets
DustenStein 3 years ago
Scholomance has Studies, Dual-Class and Spellburst.
Outlands has Prime minions, Dormant minions and Demon Hunter
Descent of Dragons has Galakrond, Sidequests and Invoke (which the website for some reason lists separate from Galakrond)
Kapiork (3.9)3 years ago
@Lucious I think it's stuff like Studies from Scholomance, or Plagues from Uldum.
Lucious 3 years ago
Now I'm interested, what do you mean "key mechanics"? In a regular expansion the new keyword is definitely one, but as for the other 2 what classifies them to be key? Do you mind giving an example?
Nichodemons 3 years ago
This is one of the better Expansions out there, but still needs some more. For example it is missing some more key-mechanics. Like every expansion has atleast 3 key mechanics, and I can only count 2 key mechanics in this, that being Gnolls and Escape keyword. And I don't think Gnolls makes that much sense. Don't know how the effect triggers nor think it fits with Gnolls characteristicks. But overall its one of the better custom expansions out there

@GoodKraken - Thank you :finleySmile:
@k1ll3rm0mJr - Don't know if 3 cards isn't too much, but that's an interesting idea! :reno:
k1ll3rm0mJr 3 years ago
Made one of my own fitting the Warlock theme in this expansion. Hope you like it :)

This is brilliant and I love it. The keyword is cool too.

All weapons are now updated to the new weapon template! You can see all 10 of them in the Set Gallery!

@GoodKraken Glad to see some fan creations of this fan creation, although this one seems too weak to be played, maybe 3 mana?
GoodKraken 3 years ago
Made a gnoll myself. Couldn't find the expansion logo you used though, so made it classic.

Cool! Was wondering if it'd be Escape or Gnolls.

DragonicDoom 3 years ago
Now that I've finally looked at all the cards I can say I'm thoroughly impressed! I was originally a little scared that the Escape mechanic wouldn't workout while looking at the class cards, but the Neutral cards definitely save it, feels like a solid yet balanced mechanic.

The Gnolls have a very well defined theme, and feel like they could really fit into Hearthstone as a more permanent addition than Elementals were. While we still get Elementals they often lack they're signature "last turn" effects, while Gnolls feel like they could keep this unique identity while fitting into other archetypes. I for one would love to put these Gnolls into Taunt Warrior for example.

Only 2 things I'd change are Hunter and Mage, and their both very minor. 1) Give a Hunter its own Spell Damage minion alongside the weapon, just to give it some more consistency. 2) Change Reconstruction. I love the card, I'm just not a big fan of the randomness. I get its meant to be the downside of 3 mana draw 3 minions, but I feel like it could be tweaked to make it a little more interesting. Maybe it could turn them into minions of the same cost as the spells, so you can build your deck in a way to improve your chances of getting specific minions? Either way if there was any fan expansion I'd want to be made official, its this one! Outstanding work mate!
King Kuba (creator)3 years ago
Update 1.2: Now EVERY card of the expansion is there, which makes this post officialy the biggest card on Hearthcards in terms of tokens added.

Also, two major updates are coming soon!
King Kuba (creator)3 years ago
Oh, and a quick update!
ALL THE CARDS ARE HERE (except 12 of them cause I have a bug and I can't generate more cards, only the "http://www.hearthcards.net/undefined" link. Does anyone know to repair this?)

Greetings, Creators! :reno:
Thank you for the appreciation and the 2nd place on the intire Hearthcards! I have a huge dream to change history and become the new #1 after 18 months of Jungle Duel's reigns. Its up to you tho! Huge thanks for all the 5/5's then :tinyfin:

Also, I'd like to answer your questions :bob:

@DragonicBoom
1/4 was meant to be Goldshire Guard, which I renamed today - It was just en error. Regarding the link, try to wait a while, or eventually search the expansion in a list of other sets and classes. Now most of the cards are here too, just in case.

@Gosha305
Thank you! All visuals except the pack are just my photoshopping. Escape from Elwynn's logo was 100% my concept and my execution!

@Jupi19
Thank you too, There was a lot of passion put into this! Trees take the first plan and there are two Stormwind castle's towers behind, just like in World of Warcraft. Each expansion's logo has some sort of glowing contour. It made sense to me that to locate refugees, guards use lighthouses from their towers. That's why the lights are white and spreading everywhere. Then, I connected the Alliance crest to recolored Hearthstone's spiked circle logo-thing, added text from cooltext, some lights and shadows and that's it. It's a collage of images I find by searching them with specific tags like ART, DRAWING, PAINTING, FANART, ARTWORK etc. and adjusting them to my need.

Mah bro Garfang is indeed a Hunter!

@Ymer oh how the greats have fallen
Marleon (4.2)3 years ago
And I presume Garfang is a Hunter Hero, right? The color and 'to HUNT' would probably mean that
Ymer 3 years ago
@Gothe Candle Elemental is so obscure now it's actually called Candle Sprite, not Candle Elemental.
Gothe 3 years ago
Man, people are talking about how this beat Brode (which is super impressive and it will likely stay up or around there. Don't get me wrong, this deserves it) but, and I may be dating myself, I remember when it was impressive to beat Candle Elemental. Now that card's just another 4.2 pushed to the second page. Ah how the times have changed.
TheFriendlyEnemy 3 years ago
@King Kuba Nice expansion! Probably one of the most thematic sets I've seen, evidently made by someone with a solid knowledge of set design. There are clear overarching mechanical themes and the Gnoll tribe is focused and has a distinct identity.

A few things stuck out to me in terms of wording, such as Shadowed Mind (lowercase "w") and Shovelfin (in passive voice), and "Sheep" is its own plural. Ghnoull using "this turn before" unlike the other gnolls is somewhat confusing, too.

Your Paladin set doesn't feel very mechanically cohesive. You'd never want to play Light Display since it could pull your Goldtooth, and Giant of Greed is stronger when you have lots of one rarity, unlike the others. This archetype also discourages running Basic cards, but you have a Goldshire Footman archetype running parallel.

The Escape keyword is built up well. The cards suit the kind of playstyle that looks very fun, and the keyword itself is interesting, has a wide design space and promotes player agency. Escape Rogue in particular would be a fun Miracle variant with Bazil Thredd as a finisher.

The graphic design work is impeccable, too. Creating your own cinematic as well shows the effort you've put into this. Overall an incredible set, sorry for the long critique. If you want to discuss more about this I'm TheFriendlyEnemy#9524 on the /r/CustomHearthstone Discord channel.

Ymer 3 years ago
I guess. But 99.2% of cards don't even get a chance to get on the front 10 pages. This is still really impressive

@Ymer Rating is an average of votes, not cumulative. Getting the top spot in 1 day isn't special because there's a low amount of votes. If it stays at the top for a month, that would be impressive.
Ymer 3 years ago
No, this is literally the best card on the entire site IN 1 DAY! GOLDEN LEGENDARY!

Quick question: Is War of Elwynn meant to summon the 1/2 Goldshire Footman or the new 1/4 one you've made with the same name?
