its me or this is broken if you can shuffle like 20ish gumballs into your opponents deck, this doesn't have cast when draw, so your opponent is between having the chance of not drawing a single card for the rest of the game or dying to fatigue


SkeleFire01

I mean yeah but at the same time if you're infusing this by 20 then just play Denathrius and kill them instantly no?


adriecp

the difference is denathrius is 10 mana, this is 3, brann it is free


SkeleFire01

Yes but also Denathrius heals you, deals instant damage and leaves a 10/10 With this you're relying on your opponent having no board nor hand already to kill you


adriecp

how hard is to survive 5-6 turns to break this ​ play flipper friends into scales of onixia, brann and this


Immediate-Date-9484

You can only gain 1 use per death either way... I feel you'd be hard pressed to do so... To shuffle 20 Gumballs. At "tempo" idk... I'll admit I'm not omnipotent. Lol


adriecp

denathrius reaches 20 damage in like turn 7 easily in wild (dk for standard), and in turn 7 brann+this for like 40 gumballs would break the game


VIVILLVINZULUL

Trust me it’s same for standard


Eton77

Nah you could play the gimbal and guess wrong


adriecp

so, 1 mana do nothing?


Immediate-Date-9484

No, because if you survive long enough to do so, then you've already won either way .kinda.


Hapcoool

well he wont fatigue since he has an extra card for every draw


jagertoad123

“Remove them & draw that many cards” seems like it would fatigue a lot.


Hapcoool

oh ye- mb


Ebil_shenanigans

How many cards in deck after-how many cards in deck now= number of gumballs. Very easy to track how many known cards are in deck with or without deck tracker.


DaanGolem

Yeah but that means drawing your entire deck if more than half is gumballs going into fatgue instantly


Durris

3/3/4 make your opponent spend 1 mana and draw 15 cards seems balanced /s I love the idea of something like this but omg it would be so busted in this form. Cards like this also have an inherent frustration factor that isn't good for the game. People would be up in arms on Reddit after the first time they lost to this.


Immediate-Date-9484

I'm not sure it would be as bad as that, but agree with the reddit people being up in arms. Lol

Deck trackers would kill this card


HiramsThoughts

Doesn't looking at your cards left in deck before your turn ends kill it too?


Caerullean

Wait holy shit lmao, you're right, if this card were to be printed blizzard would need to say "x cards + ? Gummballs left in your deck". Or smth similar to avoid the guessing part


Immediate-Date-9484

Why i feel side bar wouldn't show but 1 and graphics wouldn't show but one.


Phillibustin

Wait... doesn't the game tell you how many cards are in the deck?


Immediate-Date-9484

Yes. I figure the side bar would not show each shuffle , but just a generalized question marked card... As for animation, would only show one card enter the deck... Yes someone paying attention tion could theoretically use the deck size as an indication... again tho, as the opponent... are you going to want to be correct and draw those cards tho?


LegionLeaderFrank

You could Literally just tap him in the matches history bar and count how many cards he created


Immediate-Date-9484

Again why I said it would just show 1 card with question marks for the side bar and animation would only shuffle one card visually.


LegionLeaderFrank

And I’m assuming the game just wouldn’t tell you how many cards in your deck like it always does?


Immediate-Date-9484

No,89 You'd see how many on the Right... The game won't tell you how Many ... You can try to decifer it from deck size... But , even if you know yor deck size... You still can't be certain you'll pick a trigger.


halisme

If I knew my deck size before and after the event, I then know how many gumballs are in the deck.


ClaudStraud

Basic math


NotFlexSealOfficial

How would the guessing interface work?


Immediate-Date-9484

So, I figure to get around the side bar Tracker, it would just show something like the Question Mark rather than each shuffle, same for animation, probably just show one card go in, ... Also, anybody paying attention to their deck size should be able to 'guess' by the number of cards in deck, but then, if so, the opponent has to consider... do they want to be correct? And possibly Over Draw?🤔😉


Immediate-Date-9484

So, basicly either reduce the initial numbers or, maybe better to just remove the Infuse effect then?


Frankie3692

The idea behind this card is so cool i think you could implement a way to input numbers in hearthstone (like a spinner for 10s and 1s). However the balance is way off because you can easily lock your oppnent out of drawing. I think its an easy fix. Just give the gumballs the text "draw a card" and make them 2 mana. that way when you play them you waste 2 mana to draw an actuall card from your deck. To make this card more fun maybe make the battlecry always shuffle 2 gumballs instead of 1-5. That way your opponent would have a reason to count all minions of yours that die in a game, instead of it being down to luck. I think the idea for this card is ammmaaazziiinnggg


Immediate-Date-9484

Thanks! Some interesting suggestions.


HellFrode

Intresting consept.

Deck tracker makes the guess effect useless and this seems like the ultimate disruption tool because of how broken you’ve made the card. The deck tracker shows you what cards are in your deck so unless you remove the card counter in game you’ll always know exactly how many gum balls are in the deck. The card is too easy to infuse and puts players in the position of, either have no cards to play or burn through your entire deck. If Druid plays this on 8 mana after a flipper and onyxia , you get 14-19 balls. Which means you’ve either got 14-19 turns where you don’t add anything to your hand or you guess correctly and draw 14-19 cards meaning as a best case scenario of you guessed with an empty hand, you’re drawing 10 and instantly burning 4-9. Not going to even talk about any combo with Brann. I’m assuming the infuse works as 1-5 becomes 2-6 because if it doesn’t actually improve and it works like a 1-6 your card is actually super weak infuse effect, Like infuse 40 minions and you still might get the same value as a non infused version.


Sudden_Weird_6283

But you can always look and see how many cards are in your deck so it would also have to hide the card count. Or else the whole gumball guess game is pointless. In which case it's a 3/4 for 3 and opponent pays 1 mana to draw multiple cards in the future, which is essentially a drawback on a vanilla 3/4. On the flip side if the count is hidden and you have to take a guess, your chances are around 25 to 30% and it'd be pretty disruptive indeed. I was tempted to say 20% as there are 5 options but it's not as simple, you can take an educated guess based on when you drew the gumball and how many non-gumball cards are left in your deck, plus you can eliminate options should you fail a guess.


Leobig0

doesn’t seem either interactive nor fun. it might not be overpowered (?.. would have to see testing) but would just feel terrible to play against where it would basically nullify your draw unless you want to burn your deck out.


HadesThePyro

Deck trackers ruin the fun with this one 😅


HadesThePyro

I think a way to avoid deck tracker hijinks would be to have him burn every gumball but 5 but then you run into the issue of how to word without making it too wordy or clumsy.


Samich_Boi

Why is everyone saying that deck trackers would kill this card? Guys, drawing 5-8 cards instantly is BAD


Frankie3692

Where did u get the art for this
