First of all, congratulations to MrBurger for choosing our theme waaaaaay back in December, before we all got busy.
This week, it's time to mix and match across species lines; You must combine two minion type synergies into one card.
Your card may be in any class or card type, but must either synergize with a minion type other than it's own or synergize with multiple minion types if it's not a minion.
These are the rules that remain consistent from competition to competition.
Posting Rules
You are allowed to submit only one entry.
After your submit, you may only make minor edits to your submissions (spelling, grammar, etc.). Please PM a fan creations moderator if you have questions regarding an edit you are not sure about.
You may not delete ANY posts you make in this Submission Topic, not even accidental ones. Please PM a fan creations moderator if you make a mistake in your submission.
This thread is for submissions only. Any discussion of the competition must take place in the discussion topic.
These are the rules about your Submission:
Your card cannot be Golden, have a hearthcards.net generated backdrop, or any major photo editing done to it.
You are allowed to post in this Submission Topic only once, only to submit your one entry.
Accompanying the image of your card, you may offer some minimal additional commentary to explain its design, balance, and/or other qualities. Flavor text is also welcome.
You may not plagiarize. An immediate qualification is the punishment for this offense.
You must host your card on a image hosting website. postimage.org is highly recommended. imgur.com currently has issues on this site and images hosted there do not show up.
Fun and even humorous entries are perfectly allowed, but "troll" entries will be disqualified. If you're worried that your card may be misinterpreted as a troll card, contact a moderator before you submit. Emote-related cards will be considered a troll entry.
We reserve the right to classify cards as "troll" entries as we deem necessary, even if the reasoning is not explicitly stated in the rules.
A Note on Group Submissions: If you team up with other people to submit an entry, you must enclose that information in your submission and none of you may upvote that entry. That would be considered an unfair advantage and we will treat it as vote-manipulation. You are technically voting for yourself, and that is not allowed. Failing to tell us you're in a group is also against the rules, as we'll have no choice but to assume that you withheld the information to ghost-vote your group's submission.
Finally, know that manipulating votes in any way is strictly forbidden. Any violators will receive an official warning, and will be banned from this and all future HearthPwn Card Design Competitions.
Posting Tutorial
This is a posting tutorial for the website imgur.com. If you use another website, the process will be similar.
It is recommended you use hearthcards.net to create your cards. Save the generated card to your device.
Upload the image to imgur.com. You do not need an account.
After your image is uploaded, many links will be generated. Find the "Direct link". It will have a .jpg or .png at the end of the link. Copy the link.
On your hearthpwn post, find the "Insert/edit image" button:
Paste the direct link. This is recommended but not mandatory: You may choose to make the image smaller by changing the image dimensions.
Competition Process
Below is a list of all the deadlines for this contest:
Preview Phase (Jan. 14, 2020 [10:00 PM CST] - Jan. 15, 2020 [10:00 PM CST]) The Discussion Topic is made available, previewing this week's competition theme. Entry and Early Voting Phase (Jan. 15, 2020 [10:00 PM CST] - Jan. 19, 2020 [10:00 PM CST]) During this Phase, the Submission Topic will be unlocked. You may also, of course, feel free to give early up-votes to any submissions that you like! Voting Phase (Jan. 19, 2019 [10:00 PM CST] - Jan. 20, 2020 [10:00 PM CST]) During this Phase, the Submission Topic will be locked, so no more entries may be submitted. Instead, use this time to browse the submissions and up-vote your favorites! Final Phase (Jan. 20, 2020 [10:00 PM CST] - Jan. 21, 2020 [10:00 PM CST]) During this Phase, the Discussion Topic will also be locked, and a Finalists Thread will go up. Discussion will be allowed to continue in the Finalists Thread, and it will also include all the qualifying finalists and a poll to decide the winner of the competition!
How do we determine the qualifying finalists? We use the following formula:
( ab ) / ( c ) = x
Where, a = The total number of submissions on the same page as the submission. b = The total number of up-votes that the submission received. c = The total number of up-votes on the same page as the submission. x = The submission's final score.
The formula basically measures which cards stood out the most, with the necessary assumption that each page is about equal in overall submission quality. It will be the entries that receive the highest final scores that move on to the Final Phase.
The bottom line is that, although entries on the earlier pages of the Submission Topic are much more visible and thus receive many more up-votes than entries on later pages, you don't actually have to rush to get your entry in as soon as possible because the up-votes end up being weighted by what page your entry ends up on in order to determine its final score.
But wait, there's more! During each Weekly Card Design Competition, each Fan Creation Forum moderators will be given a Wild Card , which they can use to advance any one entry that they feel was initially overlooked or under-appreciated to the Final Phase, regardless of its final score. Wild Cards are our way of spicing things up a bit, but please don't ask to be given one or be upset if you aren't given one. These are just supposed to be fun. (Also, it should go without saying that, while we moderators are allowed to participate in the competitions, we are not allowed to benefit from Wild Cards.)
Rewards
Bragging rights are always awesome, but as usual, we do offer a couple of HearthPwn site rewards to competition winners: Their card forever immortalized in our Winners' Gallery! They will be allowed to select the next card design competition theme. And a unique Avatar Border & " Card Design Champion " Title, as depicted below!

The idea is, in a sea/ocean oriented expansion with marine creatures (the beasts and murlocs), this dude punishes all who dares to disturb the waters and its habbitants
The classes that could build monsters out of this card are, shaman and paladin for the murlocs, and hunter and druid for the beasts, but any class that run enough murlocs/beast in a deck (both class and neutral i mean) can run this. like a murloc zoolock, since warlock hero power alows that stile of play (and it was a deck long time ago), or the self damage warlock, a lot of the selfdamage lovers are beasts, or summon more beasts, Deathweb Spider , Duskbat , Diseased Vulture
Flavor text: "At the start he got used to say -Who dares defile this ancient sea- to announce his presence to the inruders, but Cenarius wasn't happy about it, now he just growls loudly"
"Sure, it's the last resort Ner'zhul... so why are you playing it turn 1?"
Owing to the general inconsistency of stats between cheap demons, I elected for the Totem to be cheaper than Nerubian Egg. You can high roll but most often you're getting something that's averaging to 3/3 with one keyword. The flavor here is that Warlocks owe their lineage to Shamans; Ner'zhul is often regarded as the first Warlock in lore.

Good Luck!
Totems I like, Elementals I love.
To clarify, the effect swaps attack and health from one to the other, not to themselves.

"Trust me, you don't want to see the Dragon Aspects argue about food !"
Mechemist
The effect can hit multiple targets where possible. GL!
Flavor: "Dragon-riding Pirates are always cool, especially that one Southsea Deckhand riding a Deathwing"
Damages hero then heals hero to take advantage of Zzeraku.
Flavor: The draenei stand no chance with his massive army of nether dragons.
yeah
I gave Elementals the Emperor Thaurissan mechanic and put it on a Totem.
"Face me! Hungry Crab!"
No idea how this can be used, but it seems cool
Wished to be pink.
Then did.
Then fired myself.
Then did again.
