Our story begins on a dark and stormy night. Outside the tavern, the echoing sounds of Pirates and Potions can be heard. But we're far more interested in the conversation between two of the patrons...
Standard is not a strong, independent format who don't need no Legendary. Or maybe it is, but it will still take some time to get over Reno... Hey! You know what Standard needs? Let's take it out for a night on the town. I hear there's an interesting event going on in the tavern tomorrow. That'll get its head back in the game! Welcome to...
Competition Theme: Singles Night
This weeks theme comes from timmult, whose "Murlidan Tiderage" was the winner of our "Power Pellets" competition.
Competition-Specific Restrictions:
The restriction this week is simple: Your card must have the text "If your deck has no duplicates..." on it. That's it! After all, Standard knows what it's looking for in a card. It is open to new experiences, though, so note that your card doesn't actually need to be a minion or a legendary. Existing examples include Kazakus, Raza the Chained, Inkmaster Solia, Krul the Unshackled, and Reno Jackso-no, he's the one Standard is avoiding, stop bringing him up, we're trying to have a good time.
Competition Process
Preview Phase (Starts Now! Ends 20:00 UTC 9/February/2017) During this Phase, the Discussion Topic is made available, previewing this week's competition theme. Entry and Early Voting Phase (Starts 20:00 UTC 9/February/2017, Ends 19:00 UTC 13/February/2017) During this Phase, the Submission Topic is made available for your submissions. You may also, of course, feel free to give early up-votes to any submissions that you like! Voting Phase (Starts 19:00 UTC 13/February/2017, Ends 19:00 UTC 14/February/2017) During this Phase, the Submission Topic will be locked, so no more entries may be submitted. Instead, use this time to browse the submissions and up-vote your favorites! Final Phase (Starts 20:00 UTC 14/February/2017, Ends 20:00 UTC 15/February/2017) During this Phase, the Discussion Topic will also be locked, and a new Poll Topic will go up. Discussion will be allowed to continue in the Poll Topic, and it will also include all the qualifying finalists and poll to decide the winner of the competition!
Discussion Topic Rules
To make sure that everything runs smoothly, we need to reserve the Submission Topic for submissions only. Everything else goes here. What is everything else, you might ask?
Rules or Process. Do you have a question about the competition's process? Do you need clarification about one of the entry requirements? Are you not sure whether your entry adhered to the rules? Ask here!
Feedback or Ideas. Do you have some ideas you'd like to run by others before settling on one? Do you need help balancing or wording your entry? Do you need help finding art that will fit your card? Or do you just want feedback from the community on your entry? You're in the right place! Remember, although you are allowed to make minor tweaks to your entry after you've submitted it, you're only allowed one submission per week, so make sure that you've settled on your card for sure beforehand.
Discussion! Do you have thoughts on other people's entries? Are there directions you don't like that you're seeing too many people take? Or directions you'd like to see more people take? Would you like to help others and contribute to a greater community understanding of Hearthstone card design and balance? This is where you want to be!
All of that said, please refrain from the following:
Posting TONS of Ideas. Discussion topics become an absolute mess if everybody is posting a dozen different ideas. Please post not more than 3 distinct ideas at a time. Any more than that and we'll have to delete your post.
Advertising Your Entry. Please don't pop in here just to advertise your entry only to never be heard from again. This includes only asking short, generic, or insincere questions like "Thoughts?" or "Do you think this is interesting?". Yes, getting feedback on your entry is one of the purposes of this topic, but we're not just here for other people to help you. We're here for you all to help each other. 12 hours after this competition begins, there should be plenty of other posts here for you to give specific feedback or for you to comment on a trend. If you post your entry for feedback after this time and do not also offer some form of substantial commentary, critique, or praise of others' work, you may find your post deleted.
Plagiarism. Many people post their ideas here before finalizing them in the submission topic. Directly plagiarizing those ideas to post in the submission topic yourself is absolutely not acceptable.
So, without further ado, have fun and get creating!
If your deck has no duplicates... THEN DUPLICATE YOUR DECK!?!?!?!
Also, my dinosaur prediction was incorrect. So i will predict that next week is dinosaurs.
Well, that's actually a good idea. You could have two copies of any legendary in your deck...
Tribal doesn't work in a singleton deck because your deck gets too diluted. So this kind of card could be nice. (There's a missing «...and...» between the two sentences.)
Murozond - Intended to be a way that Highlander decks can get duplicates without destroying their deck consistency. It's expensive though and you can't have a lot of cards in your hand or else you won't get full value. Might need some stat balancing.
Placeholder - Just intended to be a fun little experiment, combining all three gangs into one card. I have no idea what character or what statline I would use.

Time to do this again. Hadrid Blackthorn offers some better board clear for Warlocks on a body that only affects enemy minions. As far as I currently know, the only board clears Warlock currently has are Demonwrath, Twisting Nether and Hellfire. Hadrid not only prevents damaging your own minions for a board clear, but fits right into Renolock. What do you think? Any balancing issues I should look at?
Question, does the card have to contain the text "if your deck has no duplicates", or can it simply have synergy with such cards? An example would be a card that discards a duplicate in your deck?

"Science isn't about why! Its about why not!"
An idea for fishing for what you need:
First two ideas quite WTF, although I feel there is something to do with our dear Baron Everyfin...
EDIT: My bad, I just saw some of you had the same "Troubled Vigil" idea as me :) I'll stick to Baron Everyfin.
