Weekly Card Design Competition: New Cards, Old Faces
Week seventeen of our card design competition is live, and this week's theme is New Cards, Old Faces. This week's competition involves creating a new cards which summons existing minions into play - but be warned, no transform effects! In addition to this restriction, cards must cost 6 mana or less.
Some examples of cards we've seen do this would be Muster for Battle which when added in GvG was an alternative way to summon Silver Hand Recruits over the Paladin hero power, or Piloted Shredder which can summon from a wide variety of minions already present in the game.
Winners get bragging rights, and a fancy avatar border on the site, so what are you waiting for? Go submit your card today! If you'd like to discuss this week's entries, head on over to the discussion thread. The contest is over on Wednesday, so get those entries in!
Last Week's Card Design Winners
Congratulations to Vonrith and Zeppo122 for winning last week's Cards With Drawbacks competition!

Ancient of harmony would be amazing in fatigue druid. "Oh hey, we're both in fatigue now, *double Ancient of Harmony*." and suddenly the druid is 6 turns ahead on fatigue, along with 2 8/8's, Games pretty much over.
It would be so nice if Blizz would actually use the ideas that popo up in these contests. Innovation!
I like the idea behind cheap deal, but realistically it wouldn't be played because the card itself cost 2mana and that's not really such a great deal worth giving your enemy 2 coins. If it cost 1mana, I could see it but at 2... naw. As for Harmony, that is a HUGE downside. It's basically the same as saying "you get no carddraw for 3 turns", that is insane and it would not see play. People might say "well it's a 8/8 for 5mana, so good!" but to that I would say this, do you see Druids running Fel Rever? Ok then.
These are both really cool card designs! Nice! It'd love to combo Ancient of Harmony with Hobgoblin.
It's good to see more big company's sponsoring esports.
I really liked pretty much all the entrants to this competition, the winners are no exception. Great work :)
ancient of harmony and chromaggus means card advantage
Cheap deal is really cool :D
i really like both of these cards, probably my favs from any of these card creation comps
That HTC Invitational tournament has really obnoxious commercials covering the complete board during matches.
i wish i could draw :-(
What's the downside to 3 wisps? It's 1/1 for zero mana! 2 stat divided by 0 mana cost? You can't even calculate that value!
I think you missed the joke.
Ancient of Harmony for a new Hobgoblin meta? Cool. Cool.
Really fun cards, keep it up guys! :)
Cheap Deal for Mill Rogue!
Ohh man, I really hope Bliz sees this Ancient of Harmony, I want to see the Wisp themed decks that come out of it! :D
Unless they give Wisps an ability (Whenever a Wisp damages a Demon Lord, destroy that Demon Lord and all trees around him) or create a minion-based Gadgetzan, Wisps won't be a thing outside Casual. Decks are getting way too efficient these days.
