It's this time again. Another season comes to an end, and to round it off we have this last mini-comp for you all! Did you feel like the last themes were a little bit restrictive? This time you'll have more space to show off! -Sincerely, Oto ;)
Competition-Specific Restrictions:
Your cards need to fit the restrictions of TWO prievous competitions of your choice.
You have to include the name of the competitions you chose in your submission (preferably with link).
This includes all competitions in Season 6 (including mini-comps) excluding "Recipe For Succsess" mini-competition.
Competition Process
NOTE: Mini-Competitions have very different time-tables than our normal competitions, so please pay attention so that you're not caught off-guard!
Entry Phase and Early Voting (Starts Now! Ends 21:00 UTC 21/11/17 ) It is during this Phase that you may submit entries to the Submission Topic. You may also, of course, feel free to give early up-votes to any submissions that you like! Note that this is only 24 hours! Voting Phase (Starts 21:00 UTC 21/11/17, Ends 22:00 UTC21/11/17) 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! Note that this phase only lasts for 1 Hour. Final Phase (Starts 22:00 UTC 21/11/17. Ends 21:00 UTC 22/11/17) 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!
Discussion Topic Rules
Hello everybody! This topic is for discussion of our "Turn Back To Page 3 and Try Again" mini-competition. 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!
Nice theme! So I can choose my Servitors of the Loa theme because of the A Serving of Servitors special WCDC?
If yes then I can choose to combine my two themes of this season... I like it... a spooky Troll card with Voodoo and Deathrattle/Poisonous/Lifesteal...
Hehe, good thing that there arent many ppl participating in these mini-comps ... wouldnt want to police the rules on this one, if the submission topic was like 10+ pages long :D
Seriously, though, can we make three cards if we do the Cycles competition? And if we do, do all of the cards need to fit one of the other rules, or just one of them?
Can I choose ANY previous competition (even from previous seasons) or only season 6 competitions? The restrictions say it includes this season's comps (except for that one with the flavor text), but not that it excludes older ones. This might seem like a dumb question but I think it's worth asking to make it clear.
Your card must use the art and name of a card from a CCG other than Hearthstone or WoW CCG. The card game MUST be a CCG/collectible card game (e.g. Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokemon TCG, Gwent, Shadowverse, etc.).
Everything else (e.g. cost, stats, card text, class, rarity) is up to you.
You must show/tell us what card you are alluding to (in a spoiler, preferably).
Teamwork Time
Your card must have an effect that depends on the opponent's hand or board
This does not include cards like Flamestrike, which is technically better when your opponent has more minions, but whose effect does not actually change, or cards like Vanish or Naturalize, which do technically do different things (destroying minions/burning cards) when the opponent's hand is full, but because of other game mechanics, not something written on the card.
Easy as 3 3 3
Your card must be a spell
Your card must contain at least 3 of the same number on the card
The number can be numeric (1, 2, 3 etc.) or alphabetic (one, two, three etc.)
I'll Make a Hero out of you
Your card must affect your Hero, either positively or negatively.
Affecting your Hero Power does not count! It must affect your Hero only.
Day of the Tentacle
For this week, your card must have C'Thun synergy - that is, it must have C'Thun in its card text.
No sneaking around it with "Summon a Disciple of C'Thun" or something, we want you to reference the actual C'Thun.
Zero to Hero
For this week, your card must include a zero (0) somewhere within its effects.
This can either be it's cost, its attack, or in its card text, as long as a zero appears mechanically somewhere on the card.
Alternatively, the card could simply produce a card that costs zero (0).
A card that simply has a zero in it's name or in the tribal tag does not qualify.
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.
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.
Kleptogainia
In celebration of the new expansion announcement, your card must have the new mechanic Lifesteal.
Your Cycle must have a mechanical connection. A thematic connection is preferred, but not required.
Counting Cards
Your card must draw a card for you or your opponent
Your card's text must contain a number, either numerical or written (1/one, 2/two, 3/three etc all acceptable)
Your card must follow Hearthstone wording convention - "Draw one card" will be disqualified, as it is "Draw a card" ("Draw a card" by itself also doesn't count, as there is no number.)
Debuffering
Your card must be a single-target spell
Your card must be usable as a 'debuff' - that is, it must be able to give a negative effect to a minion
The 'debuff' must be permanent - Pint-Size Potion would not count for this competition
Can I choose ANY previous competition (even from previous seasons) or only season 6 competitions? The restrictions say it includes this season's comps (except for that one with the flavor text), but not that it excludes older ones. This might seem like a dumb question but I think it's worth asking to make it clear.
Specifically from this Season.
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
Behold, foolish interlopers! I am commanding this mortal to spread the will of the Scourge throughout the interwebs, encouraging you to seek out me, Archlich Kel'Thuzad! Now coming to you as the tenth class of Hearthstone!
I am a finalist in this Class Creation Competition, so if you could give it a look I would be greatly appreciative <3
Would this work if put under "Top of the swap" and "Zero to hero"?
Yeah, but it's crazy OP. For only 1 more mana than Assassinate, you get to kill a minion and you get a 3/X minion out of it, where X is probably pretty large? This should be 8-9 mana, like Blade of C'thun.
I don't really like the design (basically you play on curve and get rewarded with as much burst and healing as you can hold in your hand, and seeing how Druids nowadays like to vomit their hands knowing they can refill them later...) but I love the art. Where did you get it?
Fit the Counting Cards competition (draw 2 cards).
I like the first one better, mainly because of the art. The name Feast of Winter Veil fits better, though it makes it significantly harder to understand adding Silence to your hand.

I mean, I can use the art of the first one and took the name of the second one. Or something like "Silent Feast of Winter Veil" or something.

This is what I have currently, seeing if I can satisfy multiple rules while still making an appealing submission.
Boxes being ticked:
Rinse, Spin, Cycle (Cycle of cards)
Teamwork Time (Depends on your opponent's board-state)
Counter Culture (Counters to Beasts, Murlocs, and/or Pirates)
Easy as 3 3 3, technically (the number 4 appears 4 times)
No Boat Big Enough (the shark-Pirate)
The way I see it, these three minions come from a high-seas expansion about pirates, monstrous sea leviathans, and threats from the deep (hence the Trident logo, and their flavor). Gameplay-wise, they are a Rock-Paper-Scissors cycle of anti-aggro tech cards, against the "big three" swarm tribes.

Sure you can, it's just Feast of Winter Veil fits the WoW lore a bit better than Silent Night (after all, it's their Christmas, not ours), but it's nothing you should worry about if you wanna do that.

I like it, but it's pointless to try for Easy as 3, 3, 3 here, since that theme was specifically for spells. I think these cards might be better if they weren't all 4/4's. Based on the art, I feel like Terror of the Tides and Terror of the Seas should be stronger than the Murloc.

So, like this?
Uses the same art and name as an MTG card, and refers to another collectible card by name.
Seriously, though, can we make three cards if we do the Cycles competition? And if we do, do all of the cards need to fit one of the other rules, or just one of them?

I really like this one. I've made my cards from scratch though (looking at you nurgling...)
This fits Rinse, Spin, Cycle and Debuffering (6.01 and 6.03)... but I'm sure it fits a few others as well.
