Hearthstone: Sands of Time, a 120-Card Fan-Made Expansion

Post Body

Greetings, /r/hearthstone!

I've been involved in the custom hearthstone community for a decent chunk of time, starting a few years ago at hearthpwn where I entered custom class competitions (you may remember my Bard class from a while ago, but probably not). Since then, I have become extremely active in the /r/customhearthstone Discord, building a bot for the server in addition to designing cards as usual.

While I have been designing for a while, this is my first (almost) full-size expansion. I think it turned out pretty well, so I thought I'd share it here! Sands of Time explores Time Travel, Dimensional Rifts, the Bronze and Infinite Dragonflights, and what happens when people from all across spacetime find themselves in an inn playing cards against each other.

I'm not going to spend too much time in this post talking about the design of my expansion. The reason for this is that, as well as making the expansion itself, I also recorded my process in extreme detail on a google doc. It contains some general information about the direction, themes, and goals of the expansion, followed by a relatively in-depth description of my reasoning behind the design of every single card in the set. So, you can skip straight to the cards, or take a more in-depth look if you're interested.

So, if you're wondering how I came up with Oasis Spirit's effect, or why Nexus-King Salhadaar seems to be an exact copy of an existing card, or more likely, who in their right mind would design Awaken the Ancients and call it balanced, go check out that card's entry on the Design Doc!

Well, without further ado...

Thanks for taking the time to stop by! If you enjoyed the set and have a few particular favorite cards, feel free to leave a comment. And if you didn't enjoy the set because you think the balance or design is totally out of wack, please let me know so I can work towards improving!

See you guys next time,

~DKP (aka 'birb' from the customhearthstone Discord)


EDIT: Thank you for my first gold, kind stranger! I'm glad that I could earn it by sharing something I truly loved doing. <3
