This week's theme comes from KingKuba, whose "Mutanus The Devourer" was the winner of our "A Change of Heart" competition, as well as Cogito_Ergo_Sum, whose "Evermore Raven" was the winner of our "Counter-Intuitive" competition!
Your card cannot use mechanics which were introduced after the card that creates it - for example, Discover cannot appear on Dream Cards, Power Chords or AWESOME Inventions.

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.

So, who remembers the "Cast this again" competition? I could re-use my Guitar Solo card. It would probably be a lot more interesting than anything else I can come up with.
I feel like a lot of entries this time around will be something like "Discover a Dream Card" (or any of the other eligible tokens). Not there's anything wrong with that, but it's super predictable.

It cannot just interact with the Power Chords; it has to be a Power Chord. Same with being a Dream, a Deathknight card, an AWESOME Invention, etc.
Unless you made a Dream card that let you Discover another Dream card, but that's quite the cop-out.

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

This week's theme is such a mixed bag for me. On one hand, this allows to pull some ludicrous cards and really cool effects we wouldn't be able to in other competitions. On the other hand, it's quite hard to think of strong ideas and evaluate correctly as they are so powerful.
Alright so I came up with these. One for Ysera and another one (two versions of it, actually) for the Lich King/Arfus.

I like either version of King's Call. Thematically spot on. It might be on the strong side, but I don't presume any Battlecries would trigger?
Yes, I noticed I missed the "d" on "Emerald". I'll correct it if I submit it.
Helm of Domination - The Helm of Domination is what makes The Lich King, well, the Lich King. Whoever puts it on their head becomes the new Lich King.
Emerald Dream - That's where Ysera is from. Ysera is only found in super control decks, which would prefer having lots of control cards like Ysera offers.

E.T.C.'s Cheese - Because I had to.
Helm of Domination's favour is so strong it's killing me. Really nice. Favourite out of all of them.
Emerald Dream is cool, albeit a bit too random.
E.T.C's Cheese is too weak, even for an E.T.C. card.
Would it be better if it was just "restore triple its cost/attack/health as health" without the mana gain? Should it cost 1? Or destroy all and gain health equal to their combined cost?

While it's not a bad idea, I find it as too crowded. I feel like, even if they are really strong, DK cards should stay simple. That's just me though.
Here's my first idea, for one of Melbin's AWESOME inventions:
I know there is better art of a mechanical squirrel, because I've seen it, but I cannot for the life of me find it. So I gave up and used this one as a placeholder for now.
Like Poultryizer, this has a chance to destroy itself.
