Your card this week must be a 'counter' to a specific type of card or tribe. That is, it must have a negative effect aimed specifically at those cards or tribes.
To clarify, we're looking for counters to:
Card Types: Minion, Spell, Weapon, Hero
Tribes: Dragon, Beast, Murloc etc.
Keywords: Secret, Taunt, Deathrattle etc.
Your card must be able to be a detriment to your opponent - Venture Co. Mercenary would not count, despite having a negative effect aimed at minions.
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 20:00 UTC 24/July/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 20:00 UTC 24/July/2017, Ends 20:00 UTC 25/July/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 25/July/2017, Ends 20:00 UTC 26/July/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!

The Spider token gains the Deathrattle of the minion that was killed as a buff, and won't have it if the card is returned to your hand, and won't be resummoned by N'Zoth, the Corruptor. The card is meant to counter enemy Deathrattles, as the secret will activate on any Deathrattle minion, whether friendly or enemy. The possibility of this secret being active is one that cause you to seriously reconsider playing or trading with your Deathrattle minions, for fear of giving your opponent two cards with the Deathrattle of one of your cards.
I know its situational, but i think that is ok, we dont have to design card to cover every scenario :) Also some Wild lovin for the Blingtron 3000 combos <3 Hope u like it :) Rare for arena purposes, its RLY crap for arena :D but not epic so its cheap to craft :))
Rise from the past, my fair Sylvanas. They don't have a Legendary as charming as you!!!
I really love Sylvanas Windrunner's effect and is devastated when she rotated out of Standard. This is my way of bringing her back and battles the current meta. Sylvanas is known to be very beautiful when she was alive, so she can charm everyone she met during her time as a Ranger (AKA Beasts, Murlocs and the occasional Pirates)
The idea behind this card is to have a low-cost anti aggro tool that can synergize with some cards, like Totemic Might, Primal Fusion and of course Thing from Below. This could be a way to slow down the meta a bit.
This is a flexible counter card for one of the most spread cards , tries to counter specific decks or combo ones and the mana confusion helps for a push for tempo in the starting turns
you can see all the Ingenious confusions below
edit:also troubles with uploading the image up , so you should see the card down below as well
Hard counter against Alexstrasza and Malygos deck, be sure to play it at the right time you can not choose the Dragon in your opponent hand and know if he have one.
Flavor Text: Even the combined might of Deathwing, Ragnaros, Jaraxxus, Tyrantus, V-07-TR-0N, Old Murk-Eye, and Captain Greenskin were no match for his Imperial Crabbiness. Oh, and Healing Totem was there too.
His one weakness: Edwin VanCleef (You know, since he's not a Pirate even though a freaking pirate flag is in his card art. It was all an elaborate plan to escape the Crab King's wrath. You're welcome Blizzard for explaining that plot hole.)

Just a fair stated wonky tech card that you can also build around.
