This weeks theme comes from Lathy, SvagoCorp and Toxibrahwhose "Manasaurus", "Terrorsaur" and "Prof. Charles Darwinsaur" were the joint winners of our "The Land Before Release" competition.
Competition-Specific Restrictions:
Your card must have "Destroy" in the card text, or use the keyword "Poisonous"
Remember that the new tool-tip text for Poisonous is "Destroy any minion damaged by this card."
Cannot have a random destruction effect - this is a premeditated murder, after all
Cannot be a Legendary card
General Competition Rules
These are the rules that remain consistent from competition to competition.
First, these are the rules about Posting:
You are allowed to submit only one entry. An entry normally consists of only one collectible card, plus any necessary additional material or commentary (explained below).
You are allowed to post in this Submission Topic only once, only to submit your one entry.
You may not delete ANY posts you make in this Submission Topic, not even accidental ones you may make over your one allowed, such as by double-posting or by accidentally posting something here that you meant for the Discussion Topic. If you do accidentally post more than once, inform any of the Fan Creation Forum moderators via PM, and we will handle it.
Speaking of the Discussion Topic, that is where any discussion of this competition should go. This thread is for submissions only. If you want to discuss your card or ask questions about the competition rules or process, you can find a link to the Discussion Topic at the top of this thread. Plenty of folks there will be happy to help you out.
Once you have submitted your one entry, you are allowed to make only minor changes to it. Minor changes are things like correcting typos or making balance changes that do not alter the spirit of your entry as determined by we the moderators. If you want to make any changes and have any doubts as to their legality, ask us first.
These are the rules about your Submission:
Accompanying the image of your card, you may offer some minimal additional commentary to explain its design, balance, and/or other qualities. Flavor text is also welcome.
You may not submit any Gold cards or animated cards. (It's just a cheap attention grab tactic that makes it unnecessarily difficult to determine what class your card is for.)
Your entry must be a card of your own creation. We've been doing this for a while, so if you blatantly rip off somebody else's idea, we will know.
Remember that, although HearthCards is awesome, you MUST host your card somewhere other than Hearthcards. Save it and upload it toImgur, Photobucket, or some other similar site. HearthCards has a limited server space and will purge cards after a few days, and nobody wants your card disappearing part-way through the finals. We understand that there are some HearthCards memberships that will allow you to save your card there for longer (and you should totally get one of those just for general fan creation purposes, by the way), but we don't know who has those memberships and we can't tell from the URLs.
Fun and even humorous entries are perfectly allowed, but "troll" entries will be disqualified. If you're worried that your card may be misinterpreted as a troll card, contact a moderator before you submit.
TIP: Though not a rule exactly, we highly recommend that you insert your images using this icon on the bar above the post text editor: . Just click that button and put in the URL of your image. Cards that are uploaded and attached to your post are not disallowed, but in our experience they will not do nearly as well, so this is for your own benefit more than anything.
Finally, know that manipulating votes in any way is strictly forbidden. Any violators will receive an official warning, and will be banned from this and all future HearthPwn Card Design Competitions.
Competition Process
Entry and Early Voting Phase (Starts Now! Ends 19:00 UTC 3/April/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 3/April/2017, Ends 19:00 UTC 4/April/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 4/April/2017, Ends 20:00 UTC 5/April/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!
How do we determine the qualifying finalists? First, we'll pull up-vote data from each submission using the formula detailed below:
(ab) / (c) = x
Where, a = The total number of submissions on the same page as the submission. b = The total number of up-votes that the submission received. c = The total number of up-votes on the same page as the submission. x = The submission's final score.
The formula basically measures which cards stood out the most, with the necessary assumption that each page is about equal in overall submission quality. It will be the entries that receive the highest final scores that move on to the Final Phase.
The bottom line is that, although entries on the earlier pages of the Submission Topic are much more visible and thus receive many more up-votes than entries on later pages, you don't actually have to rush to get your entry in as soon as possible because the up-votes end up being weighted by what page your entry ends up on in order to determine its final score.
But wait, there's more! During each Weekly Card Design Competition, each Fan Creation Forum moderators will be given a Wild Card, which they can use to advance any one entry that they feel was initially overlooked or under-appreciated to the Final Phase, regardless of its final score. Wild Cards are our way of spicing things up a bit, but please don't ask to be given one or be upset if you aren't given one. These are just supposed to be fun. (Also, it should go without saying that, while we moderators are allowed to participate in the competitions, we are not allowed to benefit from Wild Cards.)
Rewards
Bragging rights are always awesome, but as usual, we do offer a couple of HearthPwn site rewards to competition winners: Their card forever immortalized in our Winners' Gallery! They will be allowed to select the next card design competition theme. And a unique Avatar Border & "Card Design Champion" Title, as depicted below!
Nothing to see here but a tiny, innocent little Poison Dart Frog.
The new definition of Poisonous is "Destroy any minion damaged by this card" and, as confirmed on Twitter, this does apply to all damage, not just attack damage. Heck, if you give Wild Pyromancer Poisonous, it becomes a board clear! So, this little friend is basically a neutral Assassinate (if a little worse because it won't kill Divine Shield minions) attached to a Pit Snake that won't die to mere ping. Quite formidable for an amphibian! Here's the rule clarification tweet I'm referencing, just fyi:
A neat little card for Rogue that essentially makes their Hero Power into a Deadly Dagger of Doom! I think it falls nicely into the Rogue niche of powerful removal, at the cost of their own Health with little healing.
His name is pretty self explanatory. Well-Organized Hitman is a team-player, organizing assassinations left and right. Since all minions with lower Attack are Poisonous, he does great with the Grimmy Goon's mechanic.
He also does well in Aggro and Token decks, making weaker minions have a bigger impact on the board. Specially in Paladin, giving those Silver Hand Recruits a taste of the Goons.
Recently I fell in love with the new revealed card Ravenous Pterrordax. It has a great concept I hope to see more of in the future. With the new "guide line" in wording, I just had to do something with it. This card combos well with the new Legendary Clutchmother Zavas, Silverware Golem, Fist of Jarraxus and ofc the new quest Lakkari Sacrifice.
I might adjust the wording, but it should be correct as it is. You draw 3 copies from you deck(3 random cards of cards you have in your deck). Then discard them. This way you keep the cards in your deck. It becomes like a roulette with a chance for extra value.
The most common death of Gnomes are "mercy" killing
A great way to instantly activate your deathrattles like Chillmaw or Abomination incase you're in need of a boardclear ASAP. It is also a way to destroy your opponents minions via tempoary steal effects like Potion of Madness and Shadow Madness especially if your opponent has nothing you can trade the stolen minion into, or it simply would survive the trade.And at long last, it can offcourse also work as a desperate cycle.
This is the Submission Topic. The Discussion Topic is here.

What would The Goons be without teamwork?
His name is pretty self explanatory. Well-Organized Hitman is a team-player, organizing assassinations left and right. Since all minions with lower Attack are Poisonous, he does great with the Grimmy Goon's mechanic.
He also does well in Aggro and Token decks, making weaker minions have a bigger impact on the board. Specially in Paladin, giving those Silver Hand Recruits a taste of the Goons.
What a pointless death! Unless ... unless she can be brought back somehow!

Because Hunter needs more tools like this, and it goes nicely with the new Terrorscale Stalker.

What about a hard removal for Paladin? I love the cost decreasing theme, so I've decided to give it a try.
"Classes are way too overrated."
