Hello everybody! This topic is for discussion of Phase IV 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!
Just so there's no confusion about what I'm looking for from Challenge #3 (though you should really check out the link I provided explaining everything already), the "Beef" refers both to the beef that I have with TGT and to the beefcakes you'll be adding to your classes. This is purely an art challenge. I want to see bulging biceps, washboard abs, and massive pecs. I want tickets to the gun show. I want sweet, delicious eye candy. I want hunky, shirtless, barbarian, gladiator heartthrobs!

Does it count as shirtless if it's covered in fur? In other words, do you find Worgens sexy?

Yes, furries and other non-humans will be acceptable so long as they meet the beefiness requirement. =|
Heh. I'm surprised I did so well, considering how few comments there were about my class. These challenges look good, and honestly are easier than I expected. 1 is fine since my class won't mess with the Hero Power / Token anyway, 2 is clever, 3 just needs good art.
Im sad to see a bunch of people not make it, especially Mewdrops and Zardoz, both of whose classes I loved. Curious about who might get wild carded. And the Wild Card component at the end of this phase, I love it. Congratulations and good luck to everyone still in it!
That's right, not even losing a round will keep that orange cardback down!
Also, I love shirtless dudes as much as the next guy, but my class is insects, insects, and insects. Will Nerubians count for this even though they are just flat-out not wearing clothes. In that case, I gotcha. If not.... Then we're going to have to shenanigan some things...

Yes! I will delve into the depths of deviantart for the sexiest furry art.

I have... ideas... I will PM you later with them, as I am currently at work. =|
Well considering all the feedback I got when they were voting was people didn't like my Ideas, I'm not surprised I didn't make it. Oh well. Good luck to those of you going forward! I must admit I'm disappointed. I may continue to work on my class outside of the competition. Still, I'll drop by and add some feedback when I can to you guys going forward.

Ah yeah, sad I didn't make it as well. Glad you liked my entry, but I think I went too extreme last round (or at least should have hidden the extreme cards outside the showcase, heh). I might still continue developing my class, not sure. Last round made me realize how difficult building a class is.
So we just literally have a shirtless guy as a minion? Interesting.
I want to do at least one "fun" challenge each round, and I remember that TGT disappointment topic I made being pretty well received as fun, so I thought the theme would fit here. Admittedly I'm sort of worried because idk how many of the remaining competitors are prudes, but this literally doesn't have to be in any way "sexy" or sexual, and it's not hard to find perfectly tame fantasy art that fits the criteria, so I figured what the hell. =)

ALrighty. If nothing else works, I do have one piece of art that will work, but I'm not a fan of it's white background. Also it'll need a more interesting effect.
Also, here are some old BRM ideas. I like them but I'm not sure they fit the flavour of swarmlord well enough. I can't really do dragon concepts for the same reasons hunter didn't, so that's a restriction.
Lava Gulper is insane. Compare to Blade of C'Thun, the only other destroy battlecry. As shown by other cards, C'Thun buffs are worth next to nothing, and this is 9-4/4.
First, I wanna say, bless the lord, this miracle has made me a pious man, how am I still in? Second, I had an immediate, stupid, but glorious idea with that second challenge.
Basically, you got your militia, and in that militia, I already got the guys who fight the other guys, I got the guys who command those guys who fight the other guys, but I don't have the guy that works under the King that commands all the guys who command the guys who fights the other guys, who also has some top quality abs. He is here to fix this problem. What the hell kinda statline do I give him?

Mmm, my class use to revolve around friendly destroying minions so it's not the most recent concept. I'm really not sure how to balance it to make it decent (Bear in mind my class has very little in the way of destroy effects). I figure destroying a friendly minion can allow for stronger stats but I'm not sure.

Lava Gulper is a little strong, Die is pretty kewl, and I don't think it's too overpowered. Also, Ravager Valiant should be worded Inspire: Gain 3 Armor.

Dang, didn't make it...
I think I'll abandon the class purely because I don't have a lot of time on my hands anymore. RIP Alchemist.
