Hey guys!

Two weeks ago I finished making my hearthstone monk class idea. Just yesterday, I finished some of the major reworking. I've been looking for ways to publicize it, and looking through other people's ideas I heard about this place. It seemed like the ideal place to put something like this, and also since I enjoy card design in general a nice place to check out from time to time.

Note that everything here is a work in progress. Feedback is greatly appreciated and I will be frequently checking this thread to respond to compliments/input/criticism and make changes as quickly as possible.

On to the actual class.

Monk's class mechanic is Focus. It appears in the form of "Focus: Do something" and would be described in-game as "while this minion is at full health, it has a new power."

Originally Monk had a second class mechanic, Initiative. Initiative was intended to be added as a new static neutral attribute that revolved around monk, kind of like how paladins have lots of divine shields (even though they are neutral). However, it received negative feedback for being too snowbally, and during reworking by pure chance there were only two cards with initiative left, so I seized the opportunity to remove it altogether.

Here are the cards (Naxxramus and GvG cards included!):
