My first post on this forum. Hello world!

[limango]

Hello there, it’s nice to see new people join the forums <3
Let me help a bit with the wording to make it look legit and in Duelyst fashion.
There’s two ways to word it, depending on the order and way the effect procs:

Celerity
Takes no damage from minions. This minion switches spaces with an enemy and creates friendly Shadow Creep on its space whenever it attacks.

OR

Celerity
Takes no damage from minions. This minion switches spaces with an enemy and turns the enemy’s space into friendly Shadow Creep whenever it attacks.

I presume the second is what you’re going for as it allows the creep to proc at end of turn right away. Good balance, solid stats and I like that it requires support to do its work. Would suck to be dispelled after P1T1 drop haha.

[CR33P]

I would stick to original wording. I see it unclear when to switch in your instance, since IT could presumably be an enemy.
Looking at other examples - “Whenever this minion att/deals dmg/takes dmg/…”
And second, in my mind I see AND as Boolean :D, therefore I prefer just “,” indicating the sequence.

Thanks for support

Unique to Vanar faction, this minion help convert countless enemies into Vanar’s rank of believers by preaching non-stop with borderline fanaticism until an enemy succumbed to all of its promises. Recent studies shows the stunned effect does help escalate the process of convertion by 100%.

Backdraw: This minion need some warm-up for her throat for maximum impact, and can’t produce stunned effect by itself; enemy can detect her location by her continuous bickering of untranslated gibberish and quickly exterminated it.

It’s probably too cheap considering cards like shadow reflection. You would have a 5/4 celerity that takes no damage from minions P1T2. If player 2 moved up and put a cheap minion on tile and then put something else threatening behind them, you could easily answer both of those and still have a fully healed unit on the board that could drop your opponent 10hps next turn. I don’t think anyone would use this for the creep, it would be for the ridiculous celerity for 2 mana.

[CR33P]

Thanks for thoughts!
Initially I was going for 5 mana 1/5 or 1/6. I guess I thought too much about it and mest up, thanks!

That is the best thing that has ever been or will ever be posted on the Forums.

But, you see, the “Official” is in quotes, so that can’t possibly be me. I merely voted for an impostor of myself.

Hi! To find out what I can do, say @discobot display help.

[anjosustrakr]

Not very creative today, are we, Discobot?

BEHOLD THIS MONTH’S INSIDIOUS WINNERS

1ST PLACE – @lefthook

Token

2ND PLACE – @discobot err, I mean @bepoest

3RD PLACE – @buyingcoats

[bepoest]

@buyingcoats Could it have been “Whenever your opponent summons a minion, give it -1/-1 for each minion in your Action Bar with the same mana cost”? Maybe too many insta-kills in the early game with Q-decks though.
