awwwwwwwwwe...thanks luv <3 I'll miss this site...

Healing and buffing both count as increasing health. Rings a bell?

FOR THOSE WHO THINK THIS IS JUST ANOTHER COMPLAINT THREAD

That is all.

Alright so. Are we allowed to create Legendary minions? I know we aren't allowed to use named heroes. But are we allowed to make a Legendary minion that is based on a basic unit? (e.g. Steve, the Laziest Peon)

Edit: after reviewing all entrants, I gotta say, there's a lot of garbage. Never seen so many comment posts, nearly every page has some ill-informed person fouling up the thread with card reviews instead of submissions. Also, lots of broken garbage, dumb jokes, spelling mistakes, terminology mistakes, people reusing art from existing cards....

 

Completely agree. The constant comments are really frustrating. I know I don’t have a submission every week, but I don’t remember it ever being this bad.

 You wouldn't even notice their existence if I could keep up :/

This may have to do with the fact that MUCH more people got involved in the WCDC than previous ones. Mostly cause there was no restraint on the theme so they could've submitted an integration problem as a card for all they cared. On the bright side, that means much more people will get involved; on the downside, poor Linky here has to teach every novice that ye can't just post comments in the submission.

My new idea that can ensure you go second in game, because Bink needs all the Coins he can get. But if your opponent has it too, then it's up for grabs...

I'm gonna be honest here and say that I'm not exactly a fan of this card because it basically punishes your opponent for not having enough dust/luck/money to craft this legendary and counter a deck that would favour this outcome. Depending on how the meta is, this would either be an auto-include for any tempo deck, or just not be played entirely because tempo decks don't work well enough to allow a 1/2. The fact that you need to expend money for a single specific card to swing the statistics into your favour against another specific card and have the chance just end up with a useless 1/2 in your deck seems kinda frustrating. The flavour is nice though, and I always love me some Coin interactions, but as it stands, I'm afraid that Bink ironically has money problems.

Here's my cards if you wanna input feedback :3.

Hey. Glad to see you being active again.

Before I discuss your cards in detail, I would like to say, that it would be best to create something entirely new for this week's competition. While it's true, that all cards are welcome, if you browse in the submission thread, you will see that people prefer joke designs. The current theme is all about anarchy and the hearthpwners support the cards, which normally wouldn't be allowed. Now it's their time to shine. So imho it would be best to create something bizarre and outrageous, in order to attract people's attention.

Now, about your cards - I agree with what Demon said for the most part, but here is my personal feedback:

Spellsmith - the whole list of paladin spells can be seen here (Demon missed Holy Wrath). I must say, that I was impressed by this minion initially, because despite his powerful effects he felt balanced in that class, but my problem is that paladin doesn't feel like a magic class. Not really knowledgeable with the WoW lore (I have never played paladin there myself), but that class normally used its spells to enhance its melee combat skills. It relied on stats like Strength and Armour Penetration when taking the role as DPS or Armour, Dodge/Defense rating if they played as tanks. The spell-based spec was the healing one, so designs around spells should be related to the Holy spec imho.

Fortune Teller - I like the idea, but the card seems like a more word-y and worse Curious Glimmerroot. In both cases you generate a card for yourself, which oftentimes might be situational and this is caused by the RNG aspect. However, in the case of the fortune teller the opponent will ALWAYS give you the weakest outcome, whereas in the Glimmerroot's case if you are presented with something good (like DK), you will know for sure that you can keep it. Also, unlike Glimmerroot the opponent will know what card you got from the fortune teller and will try to play around it.

Dragon's Call - strong (in a good way), should be epic (see Cabalist's Tome), not really exciting though.

Dragon Swoop is the best one. I wanted to see if someone would abuse it somehow (link), but everything seems ok. In fact some players might make a meme combo with Underbelly Ooze.

Thanks for the feedback! Ye, I'm hoping to be a bit more active now that my life is slightly less out of order. I'm starting with normal cards for now to get back into the swing of things. :3 I may brainstorm more radical creations though, but for now I'll stick with Dragon Swoop. 

AWWWWE, Lassy, Trusty Companion is soooo cute!!! I absolutely adore it's flavour, and I think it's balanced since you have to slot in a very weak card for a pseudo Ice Block. That being said, it is a bit too weak for stats, and it does only prevent one lethal blow. I'm sure that bumping it up to a 1 mana 1/1 is no issue.

If I had a nickel for every time I've heard "Oh no, there's too many of them!"...

Updated with Rise of Shadows. I'm considering the other suggestions people have made. So this might be updated again Soon™.  :3

I updated Flow Like Water and Herald of Flame; still looking for opinions on the preferred submission.

• FLW has more appropriate phrasing, although Divine Shield is not all that "Elementary". Might dump this one.
• HoF has changed its mechanic from Discard to Reveal; that should put it better in line with the Mage's gameplay. Still think this one could be "all enemies" at 7 or 8-mana, and/or maybe you get to choose the revealed minion.

Got a vote for Primal Fury from Wailor, and now I'm thinking to roll the dice with that one considering it's the most unique of the three.

I really love Primal Fury as it does buff Attack Druid, but I'm not particularly sure if the Attack lasts on your opponent's turn. If it does, then it is waaaay too strong. Otherwise, it might be a bit weak for its cost because I'm assuming you're gonna want to get 3 hits with this before you swap. So you can probably change its Cost to 3 like Shadowform; the Twinspell's copy would also be less of a major tempo loss if it was 3-Cost as well.

Divine Shield spells tend to stay in Paladin, and they rarely go anywhere else (with the exception being Elixir of Purity, which is hard to achieve and was likely chosen cause they ran out of options to pick :P). So I wouldn't use Flow Like Water.

Herald of Flame is a nice parallel to Dragon's Fury, and the flavour seems really sweet. It also fits nicely into Khadgar Dragon Mage, and that is undoubtedly one of my favourite decks from the rotation, so that gets an instant thumbs up. However, it does seem a bit powerful though when compared to Flamestrike and Excavated Evil because you tend to have mostly >4-Attack minions in Control Mage nowadays with Mountain Giant, Kalecgos, Crowd Roaster, Astromancer, Twilight Drake, and so forth, so you may want the card to affect ALL minions. This is definitely the card to choose though.

Here's my cards if ye wanna criticize em. :3

Reminders of what Dragon's Fury and Dragon's Breath are (with new expac logo) are below. I wanted to complete the 5-Cost Dragon Spell Mega-cycle with a Rare card with a reference to Dragoncaller Alanna. :3

I have 2 options to submit. wich one is better?

"Fel is fine, caution with the love. It can hurt."

"Uhmm... so warm."

 maybe reword Fel in Love to this

[Take Control of an Enemy Minion. Then Take Damage equal to its mana cost]

 

Touch of lava feels op, lets say 14 minions are on the board, 168 armor off of one card. with two of these thats Max of 336 hp value with a possible board wipe. No deck other then like Mech'thun can come back from that. and if the warrior has any of his armor generating minions on the board, its even more. maybe tone down the effect abit, or make it so he cant cast it 3 times in one turn. and reduce the armor gain

Rewording the card will be like:

I give another try with 'Touch the Lava':

Up from common to rare and up the cost to 4, so, 2 time in a turn dealing 2 damage and gain 1 armor each.

With 14 minions will be 28 armor (MAX) and clear a 4-life board (MAX). 2 times a game.

I do like Fel in Love cause it does make use of the Warlock's self-sacrifice quite well. It does seem a bit too cheap for the cost as you can easily cast a Mind Control on a 5-cost minion like Zilliax. According to Life Tap, taking 2 damage typically gives a 1 mana reduction (All basic hero powers are worth 0 mana), so presuming that the average minion cost is around 5, you get a 2.5 mana reduction off of Mind Control. So maybe you should make it cost 7; it's not that bad if you kept it as-is at 6 mana. Also, it seems a bit weird for Warlock to sport a mechanic that's typically found mainly in Priest, but I digress. The flavour is quite cute tho. :3

Touch the Lava is a neat, balanced little control card, but as it currently stands, Warriors already have a lot of board clear and Control Warrior really doesn't need anymore support. So I'd go with the other card.

"No u."

An attempt at making a fair AoE for Priests. This is great against Aggro decks...provided they attack first, but only situationally good against Control and Combo who know needs to consider if they should mindlessly hit face or not. Think of it as a super Vaporize . The Twinspell effect allows you ensure another attempt against a rather swarmy Aggro deck (*cough* Soul of the Forest *cough*), BUT now your opponent is aware of its existence, allowing for counterplay (e.g. they could just not attack and build up a board AND THEN attack, either way you still get to stall a little).

What it looks like if you took damage:

Maybe it's for all regions I guess? That's quite curious...

It could also be at the expac release time as you've said.
