Discussion Topic Rules
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.

how is the spellstone viable? if it's the resurrect mechanic, there are at least 4 cards that use it: this one, the resurrect card, onyx Bishop and eternal servitude

Servitude reads "Discover a friendly minion that died this game. Summon it."
Fortunately I've actually had this idea in my head for a really long time now (since before K&C, but I updated it to use the K&C watermark) and this competition actually feels like the perfect place to post it.
How it works is that you get a choice of 3 Secrets. You select one and put it into play. At the start of your opponent's next turn, they get a Discover interface of Secrets with the exact same 3 options you got and select one. If they guess correctly, the Secret is destroyed. If they don't, you get a 4 mana 5/4 a free Secret that your opponent knows is either of the other two.
The only other card in the game that uses the word "guess" is Curious Glimmerroot (although this uses "guesses" which actually doesn't appear on any cards), which has a similar premise.
Unfortunately trying to find artwork for this thing is a pain in the ass.
Is this legal? It's inspired by a card Teknician made for the CCC, but I just stole the flavor, not the effect. "attack it" is used on Swamp King Dred.

I like the design, but maybe you should change the mana cost so it can fit in a curve with Putricide, though I suspect it doesn't trigger his effect. I suggest you go with this art or maybe some other masked hunter, someone with a concealed identity like Mysterious Challenger.
Behold, foolish interlopers! I am commanding this mortal to spread the will of the Scourge throughout the interwebs, encouraging you to seek out me, Archlich Kel'Thuzad! Now coming to you as the tenth class of Hearthstone!

you could go with the card dealer from hand of faith for the art; I'm not sure about the cost.
corrupt, dormant, resurrect, Choose Twice, Choose a Deathrattle(Secretly), Potion, always, look at, left and right-most, force, throw, instead of replacing it, enchantments, Then it dies. Horribly., repeatable, while you have, can't be reduced, otherwise, unlimited, powerful, two of these, merge, AWESOME, better, sealed, the power to ROCK!, also, golden, as normal, missiles, cast this again.
There may be more I don't know about, but I think this could be helpful.
The 'Do Nothing' keyword is on the No Way! token. Negligent Mother is there to allow control class to counter Counterspell or as a free draw with Gadgetzan Auctioneer. Artemis is based on Steamwheedle Sniper and is for less aggressive Hunter since they have to sacrifice their turn 1 (her rare word of phrase is this game by Frost Lich Jaina). Blazing Soul is straightforward "cast this again" mechanic that is powerful with Frost Lich Jaina or to deliver some serious removal and face damage.
This theme is about using a rare word or phrase, not whole sentences pieced together. There are a few too many cards with 'Attack', 'Health', 'Attacking', etc. on them. This means that 'attack' in any incarnation (including Swamp King Dred) in my mind should be illegal. @CheeseETC
Also this is collectible cards, because uncollectible cards do have a few too many whimsical and atypical wordings themselves. @Shatterstar1998
some quick ideas, taughts (first card should cost 0, sorry?
Second one is a bad idea. If you have at least 20 Health by the time turn 10 comes up, you can spend 10 mana on it and deal 30 damage to the enemy hero and kill them (unless they have Ice Block, Amara or Armor, but you get the point).

How is the effect? It's the ultimate utility card. For 1 mana you can make a mix between Claw and Living Roots depending what you need? Need to kill a minion? 1 mana 4 hero attack. Need Health? 4 Armor. Want to have a good one drop? Two 1/1s. A Mix? 2 Attack / 2 Armor or 2 Attack and a 1/1 to kill off a 1/2 drop or 2 Armor and a 1/1.

I want a new title, but Flux won't let me have one,
There are going to be SEVERAL questions from people in this competition.
Click the image to go to my custom Time Traveler class.
I like the theme. It's actually very broad and I'm having many difficulties trying to choose which card to go with.
Felguard and Blastcrystal Potion; Unstable Evolution; Dirty Rat.
More in the spoilers if anyone cares to see:
Commanding Shout; Alexstrasza.
how is the spellstone viable? if it's the resurrect mechanic, there are at least 4 cards that use it: this one, the resurrect card, onyx Bishop and eternal servitude
what? is "repeatable next turn" the phrase for unstable evolution? or are defile, unstable evolution and diamond spellstone all linked?
Unpopular opinion: Rogue is OP

Is this legal? It's inspired by a card Teknician made for the CCC, but I just stole the flavor, not the effect. "attack it" is used on Swamp King Dred.
Perhaps it's better as a Hunter card?
EDIT: For some reason the image doesn't work. Here is the link: http://hearthcards.net/cards/f6dd3f75.png
Custom cards :
CLASSES : Alchemist (CCC#5 | Phase V) | Chef (CCC#4)
EXPANSIONS : Year of the Scorpion (Year Comp)
This is my initial idea. The art is a placeholder until I can find something better:
The phrase in question is "Both players", which is currently used on Jungle Moonkin, Elite Tauren Chieftain, and Genzo, the Shark. This card has multiple use-case benefits:

Hi everybody! I understand there might be a little confusion over this, so here are a few (!) examples of such phrases:
Corrupting Mist (Corrupt every minion), Sherazin, Corpse Flower/The Darkness (Go dormant), Lesser Diamond Spellstone (Resurrect), Branching Paths (Choose Twice), Fatespinner (Choose a Deathrattle (Secretly)), Kabal Chemist (Potion), Lightspawn (always equal), Tracking (Look at (the top 3 / 3) cards), Crushing Walls (left and right-most), Betrayal (Force...), Doomerang (Throw your weapon), Poisoned Blade and Kingsbane for "instead of replacing it" and "...keeps any enchantments", Power Overwhelming (Then it dies. Horribly.), Unstable Evolution (Repeatable this turn), Spirit Claws (While you have Spell Damage), Commanding Shout (your minions can't be reduced below 1 Health this turn), Upgrade (Otherwise), Fool's Bane (Unlimited attacks each turn), Arch-Thief Rafaam (Discover a powerful Artifact), Blood of The Ancient One (two of these ... merge), Gelbin Mekkatorque (Summon an AWESOME Invention), Justicar Trueheart (better), Elise the Trailblazer (sealed), Elite Tauren Chieftain (the power to ROCK!), Feugen/Stalagg (also), Zola the Gorgon (Golden), Argent Watchman (as normal), Greater Arcane Missiles (missiles), Defile (cast this again)
So with just the phrases:
corrupt, dormant, resurrect, Choose Twice, Choose a Deathrattle (Secretly), Potion, always, look at, left and right-most, force, throw, instead of replacing it, enchantments, Then it dies. Horribly., repeatable, while you have, can't be reduced, otherwise, unlimited, powerful, two of these, merge, AWESOME, better, sealed, the power to ROCK!, also, golden, as normal, missiles, cast this again.
There may be more I don't know about, but I think this could be helpful.

Clarification
This theme is about using a rare word or phrase, not whole sentences pieced together. There are a few too many cards with 'Attack', 'Health', 'Attacking', etc. on them. This means that 'attack' in any incarnation (including Swamp King Dred) in my mind should be illegal. @CheeseETC
Also this is collectible cards, because uncollectible cards do have a few too many whimsical and atypical wordings themselves. @Shatterstar1998
