I hope my internet connection and computer are going to work with me from now on, so I THINK I can go back to WCDC :)

Two Halloween themed cards, with ideas I had from long time. Which one to submit? And sorry if ideas were used, I didn't check the submission yet.

 

No spooky elemental yet, waiting for the real Halloween with it ;)

 I prefer Twilight Hunter.  Cool effect that requires you to have some other means of killing the minion to gain charge.  And it feels common-ish to me, which is a huge plus in my book for this week.  Only thing is I might change the name - why would a "hunter" gain charge after its "prey" has been killed?  Maybe something like Twilight Spotter (since it directs others to attack a particular target?) Not sure I love that name either.    

I'm less interested in Bloody Prince since it would only be useful in extremely niche situations.  8 mana for a 2/3 body would be a very large tempo loss and you only get a substantial heal if the board on the other side is full.  (And even then, by turn 8 most of your opponent's minions will likely have more than 2 health so its probably not a board clear).

 

 Ok, what about these names?

I disagree with Toble about the name. I think Twilight Hunter is better than these, and it makes enough sense to justify it. It sounds a lot better than Twilight Scavenger anyway. Also, it should be worded as two sentences: "Battlecry: Choose an enemy minion. Gain Charge when it dies." Also, even though it has conditional charge, it isn't that hard to trigger. I think it needs a slight nerf, like -1 Health.

 

 I actually started to like Twilight Scavenger more, more SpOoKy :P I agree about the slight nerf (which is -1 health), becouse it's a dragon too. I don't agree about the text change tho, I was looking at Blazecaller while making it, same with cards with "Battlecry: If you're holding a Dragon, do something." and cards like Wild Pyromancer. It goes "Battlecry -> What triggers effect -> , -> what the effect does". Thanks for your opinion :)

 What? Those are terrible examples to compare to. This isn't an ambiguous wording choice. Here are the examples that say "Choose a minion. X": Power Word: Glory, Gang Up, Manic Soulcaster, Madam Goya, Corruption, Blessing of Wisdom, Unwilling Sacrifice, Embrace Darkness, Unearthed Raptor, Entomb, Shadowcaster, Mirage Caller, Molten Reflection. There are a few that say "Choose a minion and X" (Faceless Manipulator, Treachery), but there isn't a single one that says "Choose a minion, X". That's just incorrect grammar. The reason Blazecaller and Wild Pyromancer are worded like that is because the phrase before the comma is a dependent clause. "Choose a minion" is an independent clause, so you can't use a comma like that.

 Yeah, sorry for my mistake. Will fix it later, thanks :)

I'm thinking about bumping the cost of my card to 8. What do you guys think?

 I'm not sure that's really necessary. I'm not really a fan of the concept to begin with, but it is kinda weak (because Corruption is weak). A weaker effect is worth essentially nothing on a Neutral 2-drop (Doomsayer), so pricing it at ~1 mana on an expensive class minion seems fair.

My submission this week.  Eat = destroy.

After the first turn, kills an enemy minion and ends up being 5/6.  Under-statted to start but can get out of control as the power is insane.

Would love feedback on stats.. curious if over or under statted? Or about right for the ability & mana?

My favourite cards in the submission would have to be Emerald Aspectchanger, Leech Archer, Selfless Protector, & favourite of all would be Cowardly Ogre (7 mana 8/9 Cant attack first).  I love the cant attack first mechanic!

Quote from Kofun >>

My first submission ever. I kinda skirted around the rules by using the elusive keyword, but I think it's necessary given that it's a prime silence target and it would probably be burnt to hell. I believe that the game needs a more permanent way to silence enemies, just like water elemental is to freeze. Any recommendations appreciated.

Oh damn, I accidentally wrote in my card description "Restore (7) Mana Crystals" when it should be Refresh. (My card is Refreshing Elemental on page 11.) That's why you should never make your entry 5 minutes before the time runs out...

So, I've calculated the scores of previous competitions, and your card needs to receive a score of 2.5 or better to proceed to the finals (on average).

Which means I'm royally screwed XD.

So, you aren't royally screwed, because you're in the top 30 out of ~200, but still not in a great place for making the finals. 

Foonote: Calculations probably aren't 100% accurate due to changes in votes since gathering the data, not getting the disqualification list 100% accurate, and the possibility that the mods combine the last two pages.
