Remember that your Hero Power needs to say Hero Power before saying what it does; Inferno!, The Tidal Hand.

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.

I am like... 95% sure we've never done this theme before. We've done some Hero Power related ones, but never one where the restriction was that your Hero Power had to be replaced. I could be wrong though.
I do a problem is the sense that you can just keep freezing one thing and prevent it from ever doing anything. I don't know if that would be OP or not, but I think it would be worth considering. It's not like Ice Walker where the effect is tied to the minion, but the effect is permanent. It would be interesting if maybe you could freeze your own minions too so it would have better synergy with Moorabi.

The first problem I have with this card is that it uses the same artwork as Ethereal Conjurer, so you should change the artwork. The text should also say "replace your Hero Power with *what the Hero Power does*" instead of "replace your Hero Power with *name of Hero Power*" as found on cards like Dinomancy, Shadowform or Vilefin Inquisitor. In addition to that, I don't see how this card is supposed to relate to Adapting. Most Adapting cards are dinosaurs of some type, some of which have some outside energy going on in them (such as the lightning bolts on Crackling Razormaw, none of which I see anywhere in this card.

Thanks for the feedback it was a quick mockup i will update the art/race/costs soon. Regarding the text i went the Justicar Trueheart way but i will probably update to read like Dinomancy indeed, although technically Dinomancy is "Replace your hero power with Dinomancy" it's another way to phrase the same thing
I've actually just been thinking about creating balanced Hero cards based on the original Justicar hero power improvements, so it was timely that this competition came up. Here is the Warlock Hero card I came up with. It increases the value of the "Draw a card" hero power, while protecting yourself from milling and overdrawing from cards like Doom!
New hero power is the Justicar upgrade:

I want a new title, but Flux won't let me have one,
Again ?
Custom cards :
CLASSES : Alchemist (CCC#5 | Phase V) | Chef (CCC#4)
EXPANSIONS : Year of the Scorpion (Year Comp)
Here's a card from an old set I made a long time ago that honestly might be my best idea I have. Though it may be too memey.
Your Hero becomes becomes Molten Rage, which is one of Ragnaros's Hero Powers from the "Showdown at Blackrock Mountain" Tavern Brawl.

Does Raza the Chained count as replacing? Or, does It must change the Hero Power "Entirely", from name to effect?
I want a new title, but Flux won't let me have one,
And the better Hero Power is the ones from Justicar Trueheart!
I want a new title, but Flux won't let me have one,
^ That's one idea. Encourages an aggro-Rogue idea.
please consider voting for my custom class in the fan creations competition :]
• TRIALS IN AUCHINDOUN - A Custom Hearthstone Adventure (4th Wing!) • New and Interesting Hearthstone Mechanics (by me!) •
You can find me here! Good luck everyone!
So do Hero Cards count? They don't actually say that they replace the Hero power but they all do.
I want Freeze Shaman to be a thing. Balanced?

A first approach.

Here is my first thought for this week. Tried to go for a versatile effect that can be used offensively or defensively.
Also, I recognize that Valithria should have a dragon tag.
Thoughts? Hero Powers refresh at the start of the corresponding players turn by the way, you can't lock your opponent out of using it
