I love the 2nd and 3rd challenges since you can show off much more of the class without the restrictions on the Basic set. I assume that those submissions may be changed somewhat once their respective sets come around? Also, I imagine the Pokémon submission (which I'm sure no one saw coming!) could be a spell or weapon instead of a minion?

(2) for two coins would be balanced... if it weren't for Auctioneer. This is broken as all hell.

Now that everything's been said and done, I gotta say the worst part of this competition is how you can't prepare cards for the rest of your class in advance due to the challenges. It has been kinda killing me lol. And, on a more serious note, since I like to create several cards at once, it can somewhat break the flow.

 Totally agree! I have got like a million ideas but am hesitating to make too much cards because it might be all for nothing :p I am making a few cards just to kill time, I hope I can use them...

What is your class and theme? You also asked about making a Sacrifice keyword but it isn't included on any of these sample cards. Also the Hero Power seems really weak. -1 Health is comparable to 1 damage, so you can compare this to a 3 mana Mage hero power. No one would play mage if that was their hero power.

I like the theme and hero power. For Dragon Flight, write it out as "two 2/2 Whelps" to make it easier to read. Also you don't need the (+2 Attack and +2 Health) part on Rapid Growth. For the third card, definately one of the cards affected by having a Whelp in the deck, as that is an interesting synergy. Either Violet Dragon or Rapid Growth, imo.

 MY Class is a Necromancer based class (drawing a lot of inspiration from the Guild Wars style of Necromancers that can function more as front-line dark spellswords than necessarily the typical liches) with a general focus on delayed interaction, minion restoration/sacrifice and curses. The reason why I had Mark of Pain down as a -1 Health is that I was slightly concerned that having it much higher would be potentially unbalanced, given I view -1 Health to be more powerful than just 1 damage, especially as it ignores on damage effects such as Acolyte of Pain and Gurubashi Beserker as well as being a more direct counter to Enrage creatures.

I don't think that Wall of Fire would be allowed. Also, out of all your hero power possibilities, I think #1 is my favourite. 

@Lathy

The Shadow Hunter looks cool but I'm afraid of the Hero Power. Early game it leads to an easy way to protect aggressive minions that is hard to counter. It also can mess with your opponent's tempo which might be too much that early. I really like the idea ... but I think it needs rethinking to stay balanced.

@maxlot

I love the cards you suggested and that you went with spell cost reduction instead of spell damage.  It seems like a cool class with interesting synergies. It can also lead to interesting decks focusing on specific commons at different mana costs. My only concern is how Personal Trainer works. If it buffs a Common minion is that minion getting several +1/+1 buffs? If so you might need to reduce the Trainer's stats. If it only gets the +1/+1 once no matter what, then it's perfect.

Reposting my ideas because they were immediately buried. The idea is to use Deathknight's freezing abilities to build control options. 

 Neat ideas. That legendary is super intense! I think it's balanced, none of the death knight classes have means of ramping temporary mana to play it early, so you're likely to only hit 1 to 3 minions with it. Could be a really solid counter for theGolden Monkey.

The Common is a neat idea, but I'd change to the wording to use "Whenever", which is the standard language to indicate something can happen a bunch of times. "Whenever you damage a character with a weapon or hero power, Freeze it." or something like that.

The rare is super boring. A lot of people are posting these as their rares. And while I like the consistency of having a Discover card for the rare, I think this design is a bad one. Imagine discovering a Lotus Agents or Kabal Courier with it, then picking up some card outside the Deathknight tri-class. Not very flavorful.

Ok so I have a question, are we allowed to add/change some backstory and lore for our class when we've already submitted it?

Btw Asylum (dunno how to tag people on mobile) I've removed the banner/emote thing from my submission (the trickster class). Can you remove the mod notification thingy?

This is an interesting week. The challenge is complex, but the overall theme can be fairly straight forward. After overthinking it for a while, I tried to think a single theme that can unite three classes together. So I picked control for Mages, Paladins, and Shaman. Being linked together under the Death Knight 'faction' I linked control to stalling, and then to Freezing. So heere's my quick ideas. The legendary is the most 'hand attacking' thing I would probably vote for.

 So the cards should be there own faction just as the 3 we received recently but the factions are the classes them selves?

If so, are you asking them to be lore correct or only suitable/able to play with those 3 classes? Or do we call them factions?

Are the classes factions or actual(theorycraft) playable classes? 

If it's lore related there is a major flaw in the rules.

They don't have to be lore correct as long as they ft the general themes. The cards we are making will be with neutral backgrounds but for all intents and purposes they are 'factions' like Grimy Goons, except they are named after another Warcraft class. 

 Named in what way, and how would that be determinated, via art, named by lore or a need to mention a lore aspect inside of the card it self? 

Here are some general themes of the three classes for those who know less about lore.

Deathknight - Ice, blood, disease, necromancy, commanding others, emotionless

Monk (which I know the least) - balance, harmony, support, healing, martial arts

Demon Hunter - Aggressive, destructive, self sacrificing, steals powers, emotional, fire, corruptive

Looks rather challenging. Can we post card ideas in the discussion topic to...discuss about? May take a few tries to get some ideas right, and might want advice from a little more experienced user-creators.
