let's build game mechanics - Hearthstone -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

or why your mechanic sucks

i'll go first.

Creatures have the ability or there being a secret equivalent that allows player A's minion(s) an attack during player B's turn, possibly in response to an event by Player B such as attacking. maybe force player A's minion's attack to a random minion or character target.

there is never going to be decision making on your opponents turn, and more boom bots doesn't seem fun

with bobbo that Id like to see more minions that interact with hero powers.

Id like to see minions with "gain + 1 attack or health". It's the nerf I would have liked to have seen on undertaker. UT DR DR would create either 1/4 a 2/3, or a 3/2.

What kind of body would you want attached to that?

It's like boom bots but even more random and in its secret from wouldn't work without a minion of your own on board. We already interact on opponent's turn with secrets anyway

I'd like to see mechanics built in that force your opponents to discard and more bounce mechanics like 'when this minion takes damage your opponent returns a random minion to their hand' or something, or a minion that returns target minion to it's owner's hand as a battlecry.

I'd like to see more cards that interact with your opponent's board. Either by giving them minions (Hungry Dragon/Leeroy Jenkins) or attack/toughness power dictated by their board.

Basically, punishing your opponent when they are ahead, which is a nice comeback mechanism.

I would like to see some form of dispel. Basically something that can undo silence.

This is a really good one, though how would it work exactly? Would the dispell return just the active effects, or any buffs the character may have had as well?

How much mana would a card like that be worth? 5? 6?

Not if it was a one time thing. Maybe 4?

How would it work for say, a rogue? Make the weapon a 2/2 instead of a 1/2? I guess since you would still have to expend the mana for the hero power then 0-2 might be closer to right
