Damn, competition is harsh on page 6. I hope we'll all make it to the finals!

I believe Agile Tiger, Ooze and your Banana Tree will make it to the finals.

There generally seems to be a heavy struggle for the top spot on a lot of the pages (your card also finally caught up on page 3). And the total of votes got an insane boost compared to previous weeks.

Did i miss something? Are people already fed up with the new expansion or where is this sudden increase in attention coming from?

It could be because there was a news post about it, usually there's just a news post when the finals are posted. Also, right after a release, I bet there are more new/active members.

One of the reason is the New expansion released, another reason is the number of submission is increased compare to previous, like me, It is my first time to join the design competition. Also the theme of this week could included lot of interesting idea.So we are in the heavy struggle.

That is actually quite sad, i looked at your ideas earlier in the discussion thread, and your ideas in general were pretty great. (Although pretty op). I'm surprised you ended up with the card that you chose to submit.

Don't get me wrong, it is probaly above average of the cards submitted this week, but the card is horribly bad balancewise. A 7 mana card that does nothing good on the turn it is played, and has a huge drawback. Maybe you should just have taken one of your other Archimondes, and nerfed the stats and or increased the mana cost of them.

I know i diden't make it. But is this a cool card?

The idea is Broxigar litterally annilates his opponents, but eventually falls. (Due to spells and minions on the board).

It's stupid, make it do one damage to itself on trigger and maybe up the attack by 2.

A 7 mana card that does nothing good on the turn it is played, and has a huge drawback. Maybe you should just have taken one of your other Archimondes, and nerfed the stats and or increased the mana cost of them.

Yeah, I didn't go with the other two Archimonde designs because I felt they were too similar to the Fel Reaver and Bittertide Hydra. What's the point of another huge minion with similar effects? (and yeah, those versions were probably OP too, if only because of constant spell countering). I'm surprised you'd latch onto the balance of the cost/attack/health. I was working within standards of similar cards (like the two mentioned).

But what really made me abandon those designs is that they were too complicated. I wanted something simple and elegant. Looking at existing class legendaries, they're often quite simple effects. I wanted Archimonde to fit in with other huge legendaries like Tyrantus, Deathwing, King Krush, etc.

I abandoned all of my rogue card concepts after I realized they were better ideas if I didn't stretch them to fit this week's comp. This is a question I ask myself every week: "Would this card be better if I wasn't working within the competition restriction?" if the answer is "yes", then I move on to a new idea. Here's one of those rogue cards, and then the sleeker version that wouldn't qualify for this week.
