Card Design ChampionWhen exactly does submission time end?
Also, does my hero power fit to the rules of not being useless outside of the class?
It's not limited to requiring the class keyword to work, but it's also kinda bad without buffs. I want to keep it as summoning a minion for the class keyword, Fate to be useful (Do something to the next minion you summon). I'm thinking of maybe summoning a 0/2 and giving Fate: +1 Attack or +1/+1 so atleast it'll power up the next minion you summon.
Not ideal, but I wouldn't call it useless.
"Useless" would be things that only synergizes with your own class cards. This is at least a 0/3 body, which has its uses however limited they may be.

You can't really do much with it if you don't have any buffs you could use for them. It's not completely useless, but in a lot of cases, you can't do that much with a 0/3. This is an alternate idea I'm considering for the hero power.
With this, you can make the minions you summon or play a bit stronger and makes you less reliant on buffs and other things to use on the 0/3s.
Well, the submission window is nearly closed. I was hoping to get some more feedback on my hero power. I've been really indescisive about it.
The full class, without hero power, is in the spoiler. Two of the example cards were re-balanced.
Feedback appreciated! Thought I'd post this here before making my submission post. I'm especially interested in the wording of the keyword and hero power/token. Also, if I'm breaking any rules or format stuff, let me know.
CLASS: The Blood Mage
When the Sunwell of Daralan was destroyed by the Scourge, the elven magi of the Kirin Tor were forced to look elsewhere to sate their addiction to arcane energy. While many believe Prince Kael'thas Sunstrider to be the first blood mage, the art of siphoning arcane energy from living beings was first perfected by the Burning Legion. Little did the demons know that by teaching this art to the Blood Elves, that it would be turned against the Legion. Today, it is not just the Blood Elves who practice blood magic, but also many Naga, Fel Orcs and Satyr's have turned to this technique to free themselves from the Burning Legion. While many traditional mages consider blood magic to be no different than the infernal shadow magics of warlocks, the blood mage knows better: a demon is much more useful dead than alive.
NEW HERO: Ral'thon Morningstar
Ral'thon was a disciple of Prince Kael'thas and followed him into the Outland where he learned the art of blood magic and how to harness the arcane energy within demons and other creatures. When he learned his prince had betrayed the blood elves and was conspiring with the Burning Legion, Ral'thon was among the heroes who assaulted Tempest Keep to slay the treacherous prince. Ral'thon now wanders Azeroth, seeking to unite his fractured people and rebuild the broken alliance with the Naga.
NEW HERO POWER: Spell Flood
Not only can Blood Mages siphon mana from their foes, they can flood creatures with excess mana, causing them distress
NEW KEYWORD: Siphon
No creature can escape the taint of arcane magic, even the weakest and simplest beings carry some mana within them. Demons, monsters and even mortal heroes contain a lot of mana, just waiting to be siphoned by the blood mage.
SIPHON EXPLAINED: Siphon works similarly to Overload. You spend mana crystals you do not have, but in this case you spend the mana left over from your opponent's turn. If a card has Siphon (2), you may discount that card by 2 if your opponent has 2 unused crystals, or by just 1 if they have only one unused crystal. These discounts would appear in the usual fashion, as a green number in card's mana crystal in the upper left corner. Once you play a siphon card, you expend the appropriate amount of your opponent's crystals. You can always play Siphon cards at their full cost, if your foe has no unspent mana.
EXAMPLE CARDS
Arcane Phoenix: This card has obvious synergy with Mana Flood. With each Mana Leak you put into your opponent's deck, you increase the likelihood that your opponent draws a spell. This card also reveals information about your opponent's draw, whether it was a spell or a minion/weapon. Blood Mage decks focus on control styles like Mill and Attrition, this card has great Synergy with Coldlight Oracle.
Spontaneous Combustion: A simple burn spell, this card highlights the Siphon keyword.
Hungry Bloatmage: This card also has obvious synergy with Mana Flood. As you increase your opponent's deck size relative to your own, you discount this card. I balanced this card based on Thing from Below, each requires 5 uses of your hero power to reach zero cost. Though depending on whether you or your opponent is able to draw additional cards, that discount could happen faster or slower. Notably, this card does not require your opponent's deck to be larger. If they are drawing too quickly, and their deck shrinks smaller than yours, you also get the discount. This card then rewards you for identifying your opponent's deck, making you decide whether to Mana Flood them, or let them draw down.
What I want to know: Which of these hero powers would you most want to play with? Which of these hero powers would you least like to play against?
#1
#2
#3
Also here are some more sample Bloodmage cards. Do any of these seem like better fits?
@Asylum_Rhapsody I know the rules say we can't post tokens for our example cards. But can we post the cards without the tokens? I feel like my Wall of Fire spell would be a good example card and explains itself without needing to show the token.
I don't think that Wall of Fire would be allowed. Also, out of all your hero power possibilities, I think #1 is my favourite.

Okay so don't have long but I have a few cards that I've worked on for sometime and I want some feedback on which ones to include as the examples.So here is the hero and hero power:
These 2 cards are very likely gonna be submitted but if someone can argue that another one should replace one of these I'm open to it.
Now for all the cards I've come up with but I can't decide which to also include along side the two above.
Thoughts on which cards I should showcase? Or any changes you would make to certain cards? Thanks in advance!

What is your class and theme? You also asked about making a Sacrifice keyword but it isn't included on any of these sample cards. Also the Hero Power seems really weak. -1 Health is comparable to 1 damage, so you can compare this to a 3 mana Mage hero power. No one would play mage if that was their hero power.
@FunPolice749
I like the theme and hero power. For Dragon Flight, write it out as "two 2/2 Whelps" to make it easier to read. Also you don't need the (+2 Attack and +2 Health) part on Rapid Growth. For the third card, definately one of the cards affected by having a Whelp in the deck, as that is an interesting synergy. Either Violet Dragon or Rapid Growth, imo.

Just submitted my Blood Mage class. Go check it out and vote for it!
Now that the submission window is nearly closed, I went through and voted on my favorite entries. Lots of cool stuff! But I'm really surprised by how many rule breaking entries there are. Lots of mis-formatted posts. "Fancy" images. Some posts with dead image links. Some people still haven't revised their hero powers to create tokens. There is at least one guy who didn't create an original character.
Once all of those get disqualified and purged, the competition will be fierce though!

I also like how you finally solved your Mana Leak problem. Question: Is the card discarded after the effect happens or is it kept in your hand? I would assume it disappears since it serves no further purpose. I'm still not completely sold on how effective this hero power will be, but I like Siphon too much to pass it up.

I've personally played a lot of Freeze Mage, and I think it's a blast, but I think there is more space for counters to decks like that. While the Freeze Mage experience is guiding my design, I wish I had the cards needed to put together some attrition decks like an old school Control Warrior with Golden Monkey. I've been playing and budget version of Jade Druid/Mill and my Mill Rogue to help brainstorm card and mechanic design.
