Hello everybody! This topic is for discussion of our "I AM A TURTLE" mini-competition. To make sure that everything runs smoothly, we need to reserve the Submission Topic for submissions only. Everything else goes here. What is everything else, you might ask?
Rules or Process. Do you have a question about the competition's process? Do you need clarification about one of the entry requirements? Are you not sure whether your entry adhered to the rules? Ask here!
Feedback or Ideas. Do you have some ideas you'd like to run by others before settling on one? Do you need help balancing or wording your entry? Do you need help finding art that will fit your card? Or do you just want feedback from the community on your entry? You're in the right place! Remember, although you are allowed to make minor tweaks to your entry after you've submitted it, you're only allowed one submission per week, so make sure that you've settled on your card for sure beforehand.
Discussion! Do you have thoughts on other people's entries? Are there directions you don't like that you're seeing too many people take? Or directions you'd like to see more people take? Would you like to help others and contribute to a greater community understanding of Hearthstone card design and balance? This is where you want to be!
All of that said, please refrain from the following:
Posting TONS of Ideas. Discussion topics become an absolute mess if everybody is posting a dozen different ideas. Please post not more than 3 distinct ideas at a time. Any more than that and we'll have to delete your post.
Advertising Your Entry. Please don't pop in here just to advertise your entry only to never be heard from again. This includes only asking short, generic, or insincere questions like "Thoughts?" or "Do you think this is interesting?". Yes, getting feedback on your entry is one of the purposes of this topic, but we're not just here for other people to help you. We're here for you all to help each other. 12 hours after this competition begins, there should be plenty of other posts here for you to give specific feedback or for you to comment on a trend. If you post your entry for feedback after this time and do not also offer some form of substantial commentary, critique, or praise of others' work, you may find your post deleted.
Plagiarism. Many people post their ideas here before finalizing them in the submission topic. Directly plagiarizing those ideas to post in the submission topic yourself is absolutely not acceptable.
So, without further ado, have fun and get creating!
My idea. Art will be a humerous combination of the Tortollans in the game so far with one of them knocking over a table with shells on it. Expect really bad photoshop. Not sure if this is better for Druid or Priest, both of whom have decent class Tortollans. Could also make it Rogue: Shell Games are games of chance and they could steal other classes turtles!
Well, compared to Wild Growth, this seems pretty powerful. The second one looks especially strong, compare it to Mire Keeper.
You'r right. I don't know what I was thinking about... maybe this one is balanced. Compared to Sludge Belcher a 5 mana 3/5 taunt with Deathrattle summon a 1/2 Taunt (1 mana cost minion Goldshire Footman), this one has -1 Attack and is a class card for casting a 2 mana spell Wild Growth.
Can't say for sure how balanced it is, but I gotta say, the art should be changed (I like UFO Turtle, but it's artwork doesn't belong in Hearthstone). I like the idea of the card though.

(Imgur is kinda wonky, so I hope I did this right)
Just in case it isn't, i also made this version.
I gave this version Taunt because it now loses Demon synergy.
Is this memes?
As memerific as it gets. How is the card in terms of balance?
It's not bad. You may end up discarding spells, so that helps the balance. I'd like to see the stats march those of the current Malganis, but up to you. Anyway, I like it!
Oh, and... the idea is that while the turtle is slow, he helps others gain momentum. Kind of a slow and steady wins the race idea. Hope it translates!! Feedback very much appreciated :D

This is where I'm at with this one...
I'm trying to come up with a more interesting effect for Druid of the Turtle xD

Unsure about the balance, since it can pull itself and then another minion, maybe 4 mana 1/5? or just exclude itself by making it 4 mana 2/5?
Some possible targets would be Doomsayer, Stubborn Gastropod, Volatile Elemental, Acolyte of Pain, Devilsaur Egg, Moroes, Sergant Sally, Runic Egg, Tar Creeper, Twilight Summoner, Validated Doomsayer. Nothing too problematic (had to exclude class card because of Tar Lord...) apart from Twilight Summoner, which is arguably the best target. However, it can breathe some life into otherwise unplayed cards and requires smart deck building, since it can make your battlecry minion useless when drawn (e.g. Stonehill Defender) and also thins your deck, so it brings you closer to fatigue in a controll mirror.
