GREETINGS MORTALS!
And welcome to the beginning of our fourth class creation competition! In our previous competitions, we first asked you to simply find a new class of hero looking to participate in this delightful children's card game; we then got more demanding, asking you to bring us someone from outside the realms known to Warcraft; finally, in a last fit of administrative power madness before he left the team, Asylum tasked you with offering up a hero that fit some very exacting criteria he picked out himself. This time, we're tasking you with picking your own perils.
Deathwing, as you may or may not know, has been a tad destructive in the past, in an oh-my-god-the-world-is-ending kind of way. Luckily for us, we've found a solution to the problem - he just needs a great big hug from a new best bud! But we need to be sure we're finding the best possible friend for him; I think another Cataclysm might actually end the world this time. So we're holding a competition!
Alexstrasza is our lovely host-slash-Deathwing keeper for the brilliant new gameshow, "Deathwing Needs a Friendwing". Joining her is a literally captive audience and her glamorous assistant and expert wheel spinner, Cogito! On Cogito's big fancy stereotypical gameshow wheel are six criteria that a friend for Deathwing must meet in Phase I of the competition, but don't you worry, we've rigged the game in your favour, and it's audience participation all the way - you'll be voting for which three of these six criteria your class must meet in Phase I. What are the six criteria? Check out the spoiler below!
Here's glamorous assistant Cogito with the Challenges!
Challenge #1
Challenge #2
Challenge #3
Challenge #4
Challenge #5
Challenge #6
We recognise that not all of our competitors will know what Phase I of a class creation competition will require of you, so in the spoiler below you'll find a rundown of the other rules for Phase I, to which the three highest voted challenges will be added.
(Note that some of these rules will have to be tweaked slightly depending on which challenges are chosen, but these are the basic idea).
Obviously, you have to tell everybody the name of your new Class.
Your class must be represented by a specific Hero, and that Hero should have a name.
Every Hero needs their own unique Hero Power, and so does yours.
We do not want to see your Class's entire collection, just enough for us to get a good idea of its concept.
Your class is not required to have a unique keyword (unless specified), but if it does, then you should tell us about it.
Tell us a little bit about all of the above. Remember, the point of having different Classes in Hearthstone is that each of them plays differently, so consider telling us how your Hero Power and Example cards lend to or exemplify your class's unique features. You can also let us know, is your class more focused on aggressive, control, or combo decks? Does it place particular focus on minions, spells, or weapons? Is it fairly straightforward or does it have multiple different viable deck archetypes? Does it have a unique win condition? You can even tell us a little bit about where your Class's concept came from.
TL;DR
New Class Creation Competition! Phase I will be as before, requiring a hero, hero power and some example cards, with some extra challenges thrown in. Go vote for which challenges you want to follow at the top. And remember, have fun!
Remember, and I CANNOT stress this enough. You will be voting which challenges you will have to abide by for EVERY Phase. In other words, please don't try to make your class all in one go and be disappointed that it doesn't follow the challenges. Thanks!
You can find me here! Good luck everyone!

Card Design Champion#3 is extremely unfun. I hope nobody picks that one.
#4 and #6 (must have been "Tour d'Azeroth" btw) are the most interesting. Voted for those.
Custom cards :
CLASSES : Alchemist (CCC#5 | Phase V) | Chef (CCC#4)
EXPANSIONS : Year of the Scorpion (Year Comp)

Card Design ChampionWELCOME ONE AND ALL TO...
I'll be your co-host Cogito! I'll be creating the challenges, spinning the wheel of challenges, and helping you all to make the perfect friend for our little Fiery Dragon here! Feel free to reply to me if you have any questions or if you need any help in making your class!
Now if you excuse me, Alexstrasza and I are trying to find a way to "control" Deathwing.

Grand ExplorerYay Class Creation Contest! My favorite time of year! I'm loving the theme and the twist. Asylum's challanges last time led to some interesting designs but getting to have more input on the challanges this time makes much more sense.
Challange 1 - I like the idea of non-lore heros for this competition, but alliteration might just be annoying when ALL heroes mush abide by it.
Challange 2 - So either submit your Kobolds weapon idea or you HAVE to have weapons or secrets in your class. That narrows the field a bit. Not a fan.
Challange 3 - Actually like this one. Token hero powers were a pain to balance last time and I don't want to ever see another Shaman style power.
Challange 4 - Somewhat limiting, but a Gadgetzhan Mech or Un'Goro Elemental shouldn't be too hard to come up with.
Challange 5 - Keywords are hard... but if your gonna do this contest you want something to stand out, and this is one way to do it.
Challange 6 - Really like this one, as it encourages some diverse ideas that match your class and the set themes.
So I'm thinking of challanges 3, 5, and 6. Now to work on an idea.... Sigh, waiting for the poll to end will be the hardest part!
Currently working on the Tinker! K&C and WW / JUG and KotFT / Classic / Basic / Introduction
My Previous Classes: Apothecary (unfinished) / Chronomancer / Death Knight (old)
My Previous Expansions: Hallow's End

Card Design ChampionFor Challenge 6, do Basic and Classic count as separate "expansions" for the purposes of meeting the 4 expansion requirement?

Card Design ChampionI've got the secret weapon challenge covered!
No idea what style of class I wanna do, but I'm determined not to get knocked out so quickly this time :P
Either way, the comp shall be awesome!
I choose 1, 5, and 6 as the other 3 seem like the most restrictive.
Check out my Custom Classes (Scribe, Alchemist, and Battlemage)!
I already have some ideas, i chose 2, 4 and 5
And i don’t even play Paladins
Sweet. One of the Best times of the year. I loved participating for the first time with the Spellbreaker and I hope my ideas have improved since then to create something balanced that people will like. Sometimes what I think is good design seems to disagree with y'all(even though a lot of the time I end up changing it because you're right, haha) and hardly anyone liked my idea for mana management. /shrug. I got some new ideas though and I hope it pans out. Haha. :D I voted 1,2, and 4. I'm a sucker for alliteration.
All that said I wish everyone the best of luck once this poll closes and we start getting cooking with our ideas. Remember, I got the Lore Help Thread ready and open to be used if you'll need it to ask about things if you got some crazy ideas or just don't know enough about some things out there in Warcraft.

Card Design ChampionGlad this is back! Hope I can find myself making a new class! Back to da old times!
I remember when I made my first custom class, god that was awesome, incredible Devolve prediction there though ;).
Voted for 2,4 and 6. But not because I voted for three!
dank rhymesBut because they aren't as restrictive as the other ones. Though 1 or 5 are probably good options anyways, except for the alliterationextreme pollination and total domination!, doesn't feels pretty good.And plz not 3, we already got that bad experience of creativity :PEDIT: Although a question here, do we make expansions for Wild or Standard formats?
The joke is you.
AND NOT A SINGLE OPTION PREVENTS ME FROM MAKING THE CLASS I'VE BEEN DREAMING UP THE WHOLE TIME I'VE BEEN ON THIS FORUM
HUZZAH!
You can find me here! Good luck everyone!
