Timestream Tracking - The HearthPwn Year Creation Competition [Phase 1]
To celebrate the launch of another card design competition season, we're doing another large, multi-week design competition. This time around we've decided to give you the ultimate challenge - build an entire year of Hearthstone!
If you want to skip this post which only briefly goes over the competition and want to read up on the full rules, visit our submission thread.
Forty-two Minutes Earlier
Chromie, we have a problem. Of course, there was always a problem. Inner Fires being played before Divine Spirit and Shudderwock misfires were common in the Hearthstone world. But, Linkblade91 realized that this might be a tad bit more than the average trifle, as he stared in confusion at the figure who identified himself as Linkblade92.
Chromie, temporal investigator, ambassador of the bronze dragonflight, and temporarily a little charismatic gnome who was snoozing nearby, looked at the two Linkblades…
“Ack! Those annoying Infinites… I can’t even enjoy a summer vacation.”
Hi there! This is Chromie speaking! We seem to have a bit of a problem. It turns out that the Infinite Dragonflight decided to create a temporal loop to shred a part of the future. In fact, an entire year of it. The future has been mangled and we'll need some help recreating it. So, I’d like you to help me out by creating a new Hearthstone year to replace the missing one!
Phase 1: The Concept
Things are just getting started so instead of creating tons of cards, we're looking for your proposals! You should read up on the full rules in the submission thread before submitting, but here's the gist of what you'll need to do during this first phase.
- The name of your Hearthstone Year.
- Hall of Fame - 3 cards rotating out for Basic or Classic.
- Up to 6 example cards (these cards do not have to be in your final product)
- New keywords are not required but are allowed.
- No single-player content.
Phase Overview
We've got four unique phases during this competition with each phase giving you a nice chunk of time to make your submissions.
- All stages of the competition begin and end at 21:00 UTC.
- The timetable is not set in stone. If we notice people are struggling, we'll adjust times as needed!
| Phase | Goal | Submissions | Voting |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Year Introduction | June 28 - July 10 | July 10 - July 11 |
| 2 | Expansion 1 | July 11 - July 31 | July 31 - Aug 1 |
| 3 | Expansion 2 | TBD | TBD (2 Polls) |
| 4 | Expansion 3 | TBD | TBD (Finale) |
Interested in Competing? Awesome!
You can read up on the full rules over in our submission thread. If you have any questions or want to comment on the creations of others, we've got a dedicated discussion thread just for that.
When you're ready to submit your year introduction, you can visit the submission thread. GOOD LUCK!

Posted Jul 5, 2018 (Spiteful Nerf)Now I know you are the fake linkblade. The REAL linkblade wouldn't force us to do something as cruel as killing their evil dinosaur doppelgangster!!!

Posted Jul 5, 2018 (Spiteful Nerf)That is how you know I'm the true Linkblade, and linkblade91's the evil dinosaur doppelgangster.

Posted Jul 3, 2018 (Spiteful Nerf)Just so we're clear, I'm linkblade91. If you see a linkblade92 anywhere, they are my evil dinosaur doppelgangster from a parallel-timeline alternate-dimension mirror-universe and you should kill them on the spot! Don't let them fool you: I am not the evil dinosaur doppelgangster, they are! This is all Chromie's fault!

Posted Jul 4, 2018 (Spiteful Nerf)This is false! I've traveled from the future to expose this imposter! You should kill linkblade91 immediately and accept me as the true linkblade.

Posted Jul 3, 2018 (Spiteful Nerf)I'm actually gonna give this a shot, so hopefully I can be little bit creative to match my fellow creators imaginative ideas. Good luck to all, this seems fun!

Posted Jul 3, 2018 (Spiteful Nerf)Woo hoo!
Creating a card? That's nothing.
Creating a set? Small potatoes.
Creating a whole year? Now we're talking!
Good luck, creators!

Posted Jul 3, 2018 (Spiteful Nerf)Brace yourself for whine from people who dislike these competitions (like Deathwing needs a friendwing).
"Why is this on the FrontPage?
"I wasted 2 seconds of my life reading this title"
"Timestream tracking part 9999"

Posted Jul 3, 2018 (Spiteful Nerf)I don't think that will be as big of a problem this time around. There's no challenge voting in this competition, which is where a lot of the news articles came from, and there's also less phases, only 4 as opposed to 7. As a result, there will most likely only be 4 or 5 news articles at most, as opposed to Deathwing Needs a Friendwing which had 13.
