Hello everybody! This topic is for discussion of Phase III of the "Asylum's Gauntlet" Class Creation Competition. The drill here is the same as for the first two Discussion Topics, so I'm going to put all of the usual stuff behind a spoiler. As a reminder, you are allowed to post here no matter if you qualified for Phase III or not. =)
One of the awesome things about our Fan Creation Forum Competition is that it gets us all talking about what makes a card or a class balanced, fun, realistic, interesting, unique, innovative, exciting, and more. However, 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 idea? Do you need help finding art that will fit your cards? 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 competition, so make sure that you've settled on your idea for sure beforehand.
Discussion! Do you have thoughts on other people's ideas? 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 design and balance? This is where you want to be!
All of that said, please refrain from the following:
Posting TONS of Ideas. We understand that some of you might have a ton of potential ideas you'd like to share. However, this thread is going to become an absolute mess if everybody is posting a dozen different ideas. Please post not more than 3 distinct ideas at a time, to keep the thread generally orderly and legible.
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 balanced?". Yes, getting feedback on your idea 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 ideas 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 Justicar-ified Hero Power is going to be named 'Time Warp', but it's not a card and it's too late for the Classic Set! These are good and open ended challenges. Congrats to everyone who made it through!
WOOHA! I MADE IT! YAY! I honestly didn't expect to get this far.
I'll probably have a ghost of some composer or something. IDK. Or maybe something called 'Haunting Melody', or 'Funeral March', or something like that. Would that work?
Also, I posted this in the other thread, but can we still change our hero power, or is it too late now? I literally just want to switch 'Guidance' from being a spell that reduces by 3 randomly to a 1/1 minion ('Guiding Light' maybe?) that reduces by 2 randomly. I think it'll work, since it dodges Gadgetzan, and supports the minion-summoning synergy my class already has, while keeping the cost reductions.

Nothing is absolutely set in stone until the finale. Until then, you can feel free to, within reason, make adjustments and alterations to materials from each phase to the next. If you feel that it's important you change your hero power because it's not doing what you thought or wanted it to do for your class, that's fine, as long as it still meets the challenge required of it.

Okay, great. That's a load off my chest XD.
I'd also forgotten to congratulate people for making it through, because I'm an idiot and I'm half-asleep right now. Super-hyped to see all the keywords coming into action at long last. Good luck everyone :)
Congratulations to everyone! Kinda surprised I made it. These challenges seem like a good time, already got me thinking. Though it's gotta be said I already had a ton card ideas that were song references, thank god for Bowie.
Question for challenge #1 I doubt this will change anything but do I have to do it even though my basic set has a big minion? My dragonstrike commander does fill the exact issue challenge #1 brings up so I'm curious wether or not a common needs to be big or not.
Here he is just as a reminder.
I'd say yes, since it's the requirement :P Dragons are usually big minions anyway. You could just make an expensive common minion with an effect and lower stats.

Can I change one of my Basic cards, then?
Also, for the musical challenge, could I make a card that's like Rallying Call and have its art feature someone playing a trumpet in battle?
Oh man, I got 22nd in phase 1 AND in phase 2. Also, my birthday is on the 22nd. This has got to be some kind astrology thing. O_O
Congratulations to everyone who made it, and I hope a few of you who didn't make it to phase 3, take the opportunity to post your class in its own thread, and keep developing it.
Well congratulations to those of us who made it through. This where things can get real interesting. Super excited to see everyone's set! I'll definitely get to work on my own. I got a few cards already but I need a lot more than those.

Why Rogue is my favourite class:

Yay, I got to this phase! The challenges seem pretty cool, I can probably make some kind of a ballad or a bard for Challenge #2.

Omg I'm a complete moron I already have a 7+ cost common designed. :/
I really can't believe I forgot about this guy. (also here's some cards I made during the example phase.)
