So You Think You Can Cast?
Blizzard's looking for some new casters for the 2016 World Championship Tour, and if you're good enough, you might get a shot at the casting desk! Read on for more details.
Quote from WhirthunWhile the cards are flying, and the stakes are rising, Hearthstone casters look on from the desk, sharing the tales of those doing battle within the tavern. Making use of keen analysis, masterful speaking skills, and a healthy helping of wit, casters bring the action to life for viewers, both on-stream and in-person!
We’re looking to bolster our casting ranks for the 2016 Hearthstone Championship Tour, and we can think of no better place to turn to than the Hearthstone community! From now until January 1, 2016, we encourage you to download the video below and try your hand at casting the match.

We’ve gone ahead and created some
fanfictionbackground for this sample match that you can choose to make use of while casting!The sample match is game five of a best-of-five series between North American competitors ZenStyle and Puffin at the 2016 Americas Winter Championship. The winner advances to the Grand Finals! Puffin just recently won the Innkeeper’s Showdown tournament, and looks to continue his winning ways. ZenStyle, once thought to be a dominant force in the Hearthstone competitive scene, hasn’t had a high finish in over a year, and is looking to turn things around with a decisive win. The players brought the following decks:
ZenStyle: Tempo Mage, Malygos Warlock, Midrange Druid
Puffin: Oil Rogue, Freeze Mage, Zoo Warlock.
Record yourself casting the game, upload the video to YouTube, and tweet @PlayHearthstone with a link to the video using the hashtag #HScast. If you don’t have a Twitter, feel free to leave a comment below with a link to your video! Starting January 1, 2016, we’ll be reviewing your work, and reaching out to promising casters with further instructions.
Whether you’re an amateur, an expert, or somewhere in between, we look forward to seeing your submission!
I tweeted my casting submission, but posting it here just to be doubly sure. I Think I Can Cast!! :)

Imagine Jaraxxus + Loyal Companion on Turn 10, or both those cards plus hero power if both get discounted by Thaurissan. That card has a lot of potential.
Doge is nice
Exorcism is true removal! I really like it!
Cool cards!
Exorcism is pretty awesome. Congrats, FlavioRFS. o/
I really hope Blizzard releases the best casting video's and somebody went full redneck or 'stereotypical Black guy' on it
'Daaaayumn fancy Mage be full gold cards 'n stuff, that's ma niggah! Show that punk ass Rogue how it's done 'round here!'
I watched the casting match. Spoilers: Tempo mage gets destroyed.
I really like mana bomb, nice concept!
Oh no, another cute minion! This way, we'll just go face, who would want to kill that pup?
What a cute Companion *_*
I imagine this card combo with Empowered Heroic Power via Justicar.
mana bomb looks fun
I agree Mana Bomb should have been 1st without a doubt...By far the most interesting, unique/creative and possibly meta changing that brings about new deck types.
No idea who the ass hat was that placed these cards but they most defiantly did a poor job.
I would have actually voted for this card -.- (missed the voting)
The problem with this card is that it breaks one of the current rules that no card violates yet:
The order of cards in a deck is always random. Looking at a card and putting it back "on top" violates this rule. Also, you can make a card permanently unplayable in your opponents deck (previously only freezing trap does this, and a player has to play into it).
Legendaries have to be legends (actual characters from warcraft lore), otherwise would be fine as an epic
@Zumwanna, that was just a specific rule for this contest. It isn't and won't be a general contest rule.
@dscarmo, Hearthstone already has Legendary cards that represent entirely new characters never before seen in Warcraft lore.
I found it rather overpowered, as in addition to delaying a card play, you also gain the knowledge of what the next 3 cards your opponent would be playing.
