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!
Diversion is indeed a permanent "when you draw this, put it into the battlefield" debuff (or buff depending on the target) since the game needs to remember that this was played on the minion.
@RazorOfArtorias I feel like it should cost 2. It's worse than Curse of Rafaam in that it's not guaranteed that they'll get the Curse, but you get the bonus of neutralizing a minion and possibly giving multiple Curses. For the idea itself, it's good but not the most exciting.
@YJHS2000 It's probably too situational. Against decks that use damaging spells it could be interesting, making your opponent trade instead of use removal, but against a Pirate Warrior or a Priest it's pretty much useless. I do like the card, it just seems impractical.
@ihascorm I like this a lot. My only problem is that it *might* be too strong.
@Zence Questions of whether this qualifies aside, it could be reallllly strong in Silence Priest. I like the design of mixing positive and negative effects, but put this on a Humongous Razorleaf and give it some Health and it becomes pretty much unkillable- not much fun for the opponent.
Of course, cards can only choose eligible targets. It won't make Ragnaros, Lightlord heal an enemy minion if you choose one. It will just work normally.

Ty for replying!
You gotta remember though that Elusive affects you too. One does not simply "Give it Health". Plus it would be unhealable via HP and spells. It definitely supports Silence Priest, but not the OTK varient. This instead allows you to create big minion fast, but not buff them, or shut down your enemy.

I like Corrupted Blood and Penance. In Silence Priest, the second is basically give the minion +5/5 with Inner Fire while Corrupted Blood is good for anti-aggro.

First idea! Wording? The Cursed! card.
Do transform effects count ?

You can find me here! Good luck everyone!
Does this count?
give feedback por favor :)
bepisMy idea!
Who says debuffs have to be a bad thing? :D
Here's a bunch of cards I found in my folder
That's a minus for the Attack on Penance.

Two things. One, can the spell have multiple targets? And two, if so, is it required only to debuff enemy minions?
For reference;
This is a very old idea I've had, now slightly modified. Which version is better?

Actually, does this count? This was an idea I had for my custom expansion, but if it might work here then I may give it a shot.
Some examples of what this can do:
Of course, cards can only choose eligible targets. It won't make Ragnaros, Lightlord heal an enemy minion if you choose one. It will just work normally.
EDIT: I really should've read the rules closer.
