Let's start off by congratulating the top-voted finalists of our "Short and Sweet" competition. Fantastic work! And we'll be reaching out to our winner to help us determine what's in store for you all next week.
Your card's text must EITHER reference a specific class by name OR reference a specific, collectible class card by name. We want to keep this light on salt, so please note that these references may not be negative. We don't want every other entry to say "Battlecry: Destroy a Mysterious Challenger." or "Destroy a Paladin minion that costs (6).".
Remember that you may not delete any posts you make in this Submission Topic. Message one of the Fan Creation moderators if you've posted here in error or otherwise would like your post removed.
Remember that, although HearthCards is awesome, you must host your card somewhere other than Hearthcards, such asImgur or Photobucket.
These are the rules that remain consistent from competition to competition.
First, these are the rules about Posting:
You are allowed to submit only one entry. An entry normally consists of only one collectible card, plus any necessary additional material or commentary (explained below).
You are allowed to post in this Submission Topic only once, only to submit your one entry.
You may not delete ANY posts you make in this Submission Topic, not even accidental ones you may make over your one allowed, such as by double-posting or by accidentally posting something here that you meant for the Discussion Topic. If you do accidentally post more than once, inform any of the Fan Creation Forum moderators via PM, and we will handle it.
Speaking of the Discussion Topic, that is where any discussion of this competition should go. This thread is for submissions only. If you want to discuss your card or ask questions about the competition rules or process, you can find a link to the Discussion Topic at the top of this thread. Plenty of folks there will be happy to help you out.
Once you have submitted your one entry, you are allowed to make only minor changes to it. Minor changes are things like correcting typos or making balance changes that do not alter the spirit of your entry as determined by we the moderators. If you want to make any changes and have any doubts as to their legality, ask us first.
These are the rules about your Submission:
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 submit any Gold cards. (It's just a cheap attention grab tactic that makes it unnecessarily difficult to determine what class your card is for.)
Your entry must be a card of your own creation. We've been doing this for a while, so if you blatantly rip off somebody else's idea, we will know.
Remember that, although HearthCards is awesome, you MUST host your card somewhere other than Hearthcards. Save it and upload it toImgur, Photobucket, or some other similar site. HearthCards has a limited server space and will purge cards after a few days, and nobody wants your card disappearing part-way through the finals. We understand that there are some HearthCards memberships that will allow you to save your card there for longer (and you should totally get one of those just for general fan creation purposes, by the way), but we don't know who has those memberships and we can't tell from the URLs.
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.
TIP: Though not a rule exactly, we highly recommend that you insert your images using this icon on the bar above the post text editor: . Just click that button and put in the URL of your image. Cards that are uploaded and attached to your post are not disallowed, but in our experience they will not do nearly as well, so this is for your own benefit more than anything.
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.
Competition Process
Entry Phase and Early Voting (Starts Now! Ends 20:00 UTC 19/January/2016) It is during this Phase that you may submit entries to the Submission Topic. You may also, of course, feel free to give early up-votes to any submissions that you like! Voting Phase (Starts 20:00 UTC 19/January/2016, Ends 20:00 UTC 20/January/2016) 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 (Starts 21:00 UTC 20/January/2016, Ends 21:00 UTC 21/January/2016) During this Phase, the Discussion Topic will also be locked, and a new Poll Topic will go up. Discussion will be allowed to continue in the Poll Topic, and it will also include all the qualifying finalists and poll to decide the winner of the competition!
How do we determine the qualifying finalists? First, we'll pull up-vote data from each submission using the formula detailed below:
(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!
King of Lightning is a 7 mana minion that puts 3 specific Shaman cards into your hand. Lightning Bolt is great when needing that extra burst potential. Forked Lightning is good for some minor clearing. And Lightning Storm is great if you need a potentially big board clear.
Here's my idea. I wanted to make a very versatile card that could give you a choice between healing or damage. I feel like, in WoW at least, Priest and Rogue kind of epitomize those two extremes. Monks in WoW are good at doing either one (I know Druids are too), but I thought having a Monk representative in Hearthstone that could help with possible healing or possible damage would be cool. I also like the idea of having a "Choose One" card not necessarily be limited to Druid.
The 2 Choice cards are in the spoiler:
Admittedly, the rogue has so many weapon-related spells, this card might be limited for non-weapon users, but even so, I think it could be cool.
Edit: I realized having the word "Random" was redundant and the existing Discover cards don't specify random since it's kinda built into the keyword, so I removed that from the text.
This card is basically Gadgetzan Auctioneer but for Discover cards. There are only a handful of Discover cards to activate him with but if you get the combo off then you can gain some serious card advantage. This card also presents some new combo posibilites with cards like Lock and Load, Malygos, Edwin VanCleef, and Archmage Antonidas.
This is the Submission Topic. The Discussion Topic is here.

You're much better at using these weapons than this wimp. Compare to Arathi Weaponsmith. Warrior weapons:
Fiery War Axe, Arcanite Reaper, Gorehowl, Death's Bite, Ogre Warmaul, King's Defender, Cursed Blade

Couldn't figure out how to get it in the actual post ;_;

With the exit of Kezan Mystic...
Counterspell
Your opponent can still play secrets, but they're going to have to burn a spell after each one.

There are only a handful of Discover cards to activate him with but if you get the combo off then you can gain some serious card advantage. This card also presents some new combo posibilites with cards like Lock and Load, Malygos, Edwin VanCleef, and Archmage Antonidas.
Nothing fancy this time. Simple, yet effective. There's no doubt about Raven Idol's versatility, making it especially useful in Arena.
(Note: Discover mechanics is tied to the class using it, e.g playing as Rogue you would be presented with Rogue's selection of cards.)
Troggzor the Earthinator + Noble Sacrifice + Imp Master =
Fierce Monkey
