Probably gonna go with this. I've always wanted drawbacks in the hand, and this seems like a good opportunity to do it. The idea is that in the long run, you're probably gonna be paying more than 7 mana, but the immediate 4 mana 7/7 is enough of a reward and the distributed cost is less detrimental to overall tempo.

Here's my idea. I imagined this card back during the class competition when I was considering making an Alchemist class, but it makes sense as a priest card too.

What I'm unsure of, is how much it should heal and the mana cost. 2 mana 4 healing is a starting point, but I was considering a higher mana cost with more healing, like 6 mana heal 10, the idea being that you lose too much tempo if you keep having to play it.

 Ummm, hate to say it, but this doesn't work. There is no trigger, its just infinite value without requirement.

 It's similar to headcrack so it does qualify. It needs to be worded differently tho. "At the start of your next turn" or "At the end of the turn". At the end/start does count as a trigger.

 I used the wording identical to Headcrack

 

 Headcrack doesn't qualify solely because you returns to your hand, its because Combo also has an 'If' clause in the tooltip. Simply being infinitely playable does not mean the card has a Triggered effect. Adding an "At the" would mean that yes, it qualifies, but that's more or a loophole IMO to make a card that without having to put forth any actual effort, and that has pretty much prevention.

 Ah, it's not my intention to circumvent the challenge. I was honestly just excited about this concept, and pulling in a cool item from WoW to Hearthstone. But I think I understand your intentions better now with this challenge.

To be clear, Baron Geddon would not qualify for this weeks challenge?

My idea was to give more options during warlock quest. Effect is powerfull, maybe too (+1/+1? or just +2 health?), but trigger only if you control a Quest. And it's an aura buff like Murloc Warleader or Southsea Captain not a definitive buff.

 Baron Geddon does qualify. You card did not use the correct wording. Headcrack gets it requirement from the Combo, you card had no requirement to get it back, you just get it back. You can add a timing related effect, which is indeed a trigger. That said, I think the card is terrible, because its a spell, so you opponent can't kill it or really ever stop you from playing it. It effectively becomes a second Hero Power at a different cost. You might think that's cool or fun, but I think that's pretty awful and completely undermines the spirit of the competition and the purpose of the Hero Powers as well. You already have a infinite free value resource, why do you need to add another?

 Huh. If Baron Geddon would be an okay submission, then I think my Endless Healing potion should qualify? I mean, a card like Barron Geddon or Mana Tide Totem is essentially saying "If the the turn ends" or "If the next turn starts". It's a conditional statement with the same formal logic as "Next turn do XYZ", its just a matter of english grammar. I bet this kind of distinction might disappear in another language.

Anyway, I don't want to be a dick about it or anything. But I think it's a perfectly reasonable spell. There are a handful of cards that can provide infinite value, like Dread Steed, Headcrack, Anub'arak, Sherazin, Jade Idol. These cards would qualify right? Except for the deathrattles, since we have a no battlecry/deathrattle rule.

Headcrack is 2 damage, the rogue hero power is 1 damage, it's essentially just a more limited form of rogue hero power (face only). My card is just the equivalent for priests. It's a stall card, but you can't survive forever on it. I'm totally open to discussing the proper amount of healing to mana cost. I was kind of thinking about Raza with the 0 cost hero power effect and also Headcrack, trying to find a decent value from those two cards.  A card like Greater Healing potion gives 12 healing in a single card, so you'd need to cast Endless Healing Potion six times to get an equal amount of (hero only) healing.

Anyway, trying to fit a spell to this weeks comp might be too difficult and not actually capture the spirit of what you want from the comp. You want minions with those little lighting bolts on their frames right? I'll keep brainstorming other ideas, I can always pull this endless healing potion card out for some other comp.

 

Like always, I will return feedback.

What works better?

I think the spell version is too OP. And it would be a nightmare if it being stolen by miracle rogue or combo with Gadgetzan Auctioneer
