Provide a summary of your idea using the tooltip information box, located under the "More" section of Hearthcards. The title of your Tavern Brawl must be included in the tooltip.
You may include up to five (5) custom cards/tokens that might be used in your Tavern Brawl.
If your concept requires additional explanation, you can write about it further in your submission. The tooltip box is to get across the main idea of your TB, much like what Blizzard does.
Here's an example of what we're looking for:
General Competition Rules
These are the rules that remain consistent from competition to competition.
First, these are the rules about Posting:
You are allowed to submit
only one entry
. An entry normally consists of only
one
collectible card, plus any necessary additional material or commentary (explained below).
You are allowed to post in this Submission Topic
only once
, only to submit your one entry.
You may not delete ANY posts you make in this Submission Topic
, not even accidental ones you may make over your one allowed, such as by double-posting or by accidentally posting something here that you meant for the Discussion Topic. If you do accidentally post more than once, inform any of the Fan Creation Forum moderators via PM, and we will handle it.
Speaking of the Discussion Topic, that is where any discussion of this competition should go. This thread is for
submissions only
. If you want to discuss your card or ask questions about the competition rules or process, you can find a link to the Discussion Topic at the top of this thread. Plenty of folks there will be happy to help you out.
Once you have submitted your one entry, you are allowed to make
only minor changes
to it. Minor changes are things like correcting typos or making balance changes that do not alter the spirit of your entry as determined by we the moderators. If you want to make any changes and have any doubts as to their legality, ask us first.
These are the rules about your Submission:
Accompanying the image of your card, you may offer some
minimal additional commentary
to explain its design, balance, and/or other qualities. Flavor text is also welcome.
You
may not
submit any Gold cards or animated cards. (It's just a cheap attention grab tactic that makes it unnecessarily difficult to determine what class your card is for.)
Your entry must be a card of
your own creation
. We've been doing this for a while, so if you blatantly rip off somebody else's idea, we will know.
Remember that, although HearthCards is awesome,
you MUST host your card somewhere other than Hearthcards.
Save it and upload it to
Imgur
,
Photobucket
, or some other similar site. HearthCards has a limited server space and will purge cards after a few days, and nobody wants your card disappearing part-way through the finals. We understand that there are some HearthCards memberships that will allow you to save your card there for longer (and you should totally get one of those just for general fan creation purposes, by the way), but we don't know who has those memberships and we can't tell from the URLs.
When you post your Imgur link,
make sure it's the actual image and not the hosting page!
You need to right-click and open the image in a new window/tab first; the link should have an "i" in front of it, "i.imgur.XXXX". HearthPwn won't be able to direct-post your card, otherwise.
Fun and even humorous entries are perfectly allowed, but "troll" entries will be disqualified. If you're worried that your card may be misinterpreted as a troll card, contact a moderator before you submit. Emote-related cards will be considered a troll entry.
We reserve the right to classify cards as "troll" entries as we deem necessary, even if the reasoning is
not
explicitly stated in the rules.
A Note on Group Submissions: if you team up with other people to submit an entry, you must enclose that information in your submission and none of you may upvote that entry.
That would be considered an unfair advantage and we will treat it as vote-manipulation. You are technically voting for yourself, and that is not allowed. Failing to tell us you're in a group is also against the rules, as we'll have no choice but to assume that you withheld the information to ghost-vote your group's submission.
TIP:
Though not a rule exactly, we
highly
recommend that you insert your images using this icon on the bar above the post text editor:
. Just click that button and put in the URL of your image. Cards that are uploaded and attached to your post are not disallowed, but in our experience they will not do nearly as well, so this is for your own benefit more than anything.
Finally, know that manipulating votes in any way is strictly forbidden. Any violators will receive an official warning, and will be banned from this and all future HearthPwn Card Design Competitions.
Competition Process
Preview Phase
(Starts Now! Ends 21:00 UTC 17/01/2019
During this Phase, the Discussion Topic is made available, previewing this week's competition theme.
Entry and Early Voting Phase
(Starts 21:00 UTC 17/01/2019, Ends 21:00 UTC 21/01/2019)
During this Phase, the Submission Topic is made available for your submissions. You may also, of course, feel free to give early up-votes to any submissions that you like!
Voting Phase
(Starts 21:00 UTC 21/01/2019, Ends 21:00 UTC 22/01/2019)
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!
Final Phase
(Starts 21:00 UTC 22/01/2019, Ends 21:00 UTC 23/01/2019)
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!
How do we determine the qualifying finalists? First, we'll pull up-vote data from each submission using the formula detailed below:
(
ab
) / (
c
) =
x
Where,
a
= The total number of submissions on the same page as the submission.
b
= The total number of up-votes that the submission received.
c
= The total number of up-votes on the same page as the submission.
x
= The submission's final score.
The formula basically measures which cards stood out the most, with the necessary assumption that each page is about equal in overall submission quality. It will be the entries that receive the highest final scores that move on to the Final Phase.
The bottom line is that, although entries on the earlier pages of the Submission Topic are much more visible and thus receive many more up-votes than entries on later pages, you don't actually have to rush to get your entry in as soon as possible because the up-votes end up being weighted by what page your entry ends up on in order to determine its final score.
But wait, there's more! During each Weekly Card Design Competition, each Fan Creation Forum moderators will be given a
Wild Card
, which they can use to advance any one entry that they feel was initially overlooked or under-appreciated to the Final Phase, regardless of its final score. Wild Cards are our way of spicing things up a bit, but please don't ask to be given one or be upset if you aren't given one. These are just supposed to be fun.
(Also, it should go without saying that, while we moderators are allowed to participate in the competitions, we are not allowed to benefit from Wild Cards.)
Rewards
Bragging rights are always awesome, but as usual, we do offer a couple of HearthPwn site rewards to competition winners:
Their card forever immortalized in our
Winners' Gallery
!
They will be allowed to select the next card design competition theme.
And a unique
Avatar Border
& "
Card Design Champion
" Title, as depicted below!

The battlefield is now split up into two sides. Minions on one side cannot attack minions on the other. Constructed Brawl, so you will need to build your deck.
Some rules as to how this works:
The number of minion spaces on the board is now 6 (3 for each side) instead of 7.
When you play a minion, you can choose side to play it on, assuming it has a space left.
Taunt minions on one side will only defend against enemy minions on the same side. In other words, minions on the other side will be able to bypass the Taunt. Weapons (and other forms of hero Attack) are still affected by Taunt minions on both sides.
Weapons and hero attacks can attack on either side.
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
Pick a class for the Hero Power, then build a deck using any cards you want! Ever wanted to prep out a Pyroblast? How about giving your miracle rogue Velen? Anything is possible during Unity Day!
So, after you make your deck, you have to choose three different cards, no matter if you have them, and from which class they are. When searching for opponents, all decks with cards you 'banned' will be automatically skipped. You think that three cards are not too much? You should remember about cards like
Baku the Mooneater
or
Shudderwock
!
Not sure if this would work but whatever. Ideally, you would create a deck and in the pool of cards you have, you will also have custom cards there that have already seen play versus bosses or other brawls such as:
Bone Storm
,
Flame Wreath
, or even
Fallen Champions
. Passive cards such as
Captured Flag
will not be present. Additionally, you can give the opponent a hero power as well of your choice such as
Twister
, or
Polarity Shift
. Then the brawl will ask you to select 1 of your 18 decks to fight the boss. The boss image will be the same though (at 50 health, card order will always be randomized too).
Simple enough, Pick a class and get a random deck, all targets and attacking are done randomly. (Also emotes, including sorry) Players start at 3 mana like in the hallucinate one too.
This is the Submission Topic. The Discussion Topic is here.

Decided to do something less mechanic-oriented to promote some more creative deckbuilding. A word game, as the name implies.
-The Tavern Brawl is Wild friendly.
-Mulligan happens normally: alphabetical drawing starts after mulligan is complete.
-If you have duplicates, say 2x Acherus Veteran and 2 Arcane Intellect, you draw the 2 Acherus Veterans first.
Wording taken from the "When Clones attack" brawl. Run all those negative cards! Keep the stats, give your opponents worse versions!
-Brawl is Wild friendly

Thank you Kanye,
Very Cool.
Wished to be pink.
Then did.
Then fired myself.
Then did again.
Banned Cards: Mecha'thun
It's a Wild brawl.
Let the RNG win this week!
Why is the rum gone?
This is a wild tavern brawl. No banned cards.
So, after you make your deck, you have to choose three different cards, no matter if you have them, and from which class they are. When searching for opponents, all decks with cards you 'banned' will be automatically skipped. You think that three cards are not too much? You should remember about cards like Baku the Mooneater or Shudderwock !
of course there will be a hidden interaction where any minions that would cost zero mana would be silenced. prevents shenanigans with eggs that way.
