Discussion Topic Rules
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 entry? Do you need help finding art that will fit your card? 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 week, so make sure that you've settled on your card for sure beforehand.
Discussion! Do you have thoughts on other people's entries? 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 card design and balance? This is where you want to be!
All of that said, please refrain from the following:
Posting TONS of Ideas. Discussion topics become an absolute mess if everybody is posting a dozen different ideas. Please post not more than 3 distinct ideas at a time. Any more than that and we'll have to delete your post.
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 interesting?". Yes, getting feedback on your entry 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 entry 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!
I thought about making it Leftmost or Rightmost or in your deck instead. But i am conflicted, to say the least.
Any thoughts?<3
I was thinking some of the same, but skipped cause I found it to be too random. If it's currently in your hand, in most cases you wouldn't need a copy of that exact card, but probably something else making this... not a dead draw, but not an optimal one either. Unfortunately.
Here's an idea I had back during the custom expansion a bunch of us made. My version was became Murlocs, but here was my original idea with new fancy Karazhan art ( I'll make the token later, it's just a 1/1 Demon).
Immediately came to mind since I had an idea like this yesterday.
(Mystical Hourlgass does use MTG art. I really dislike using art from other games, but in this case the art was too perfect to pass up)
Basically, Murozond shuffles the Hourglass into your deck and when you draw it, your turn only has 15 seconds left. Of course, just like Burrowing Mine or Ambush!, the card does disappear and you draw a card so you don't invalidate the draw. Murozond himself is a Boulderfist Ogre with a Dragon tag which I made because he doesn't impact the board the turn its played, and it is also a Legendary. Also, a unique little catch is that if your opponent draws it during your turn, then YOUR turn now only has 15 seconds left. So, be weary of that. Feedback would be appreciated.
I also had this idea. I like Murozond better but I'm posting it anyway for additional feedback, plus it's very likely that someone else will have the same idea.
The Flame Leviathan does count as their draw for that turn, and yes this is an original character and not Warcraft based at all. The Mage watermark was because I didn't know what to put at the time and I wanted to do something different than just the Classic watermark.

My initial idea:
Yeah. I consider making it a priest card instead. And making it become a copy of one of your opponents cards, or something.
From the deck would be underpowered tho. Since there is litterally no reason to play it over a card that you can just simply put into your deck.
But if it takes it from your opponents hand, it will be too similar to Mind Vision.
I gotta think this through...
About your card
It is okayish? I know you can do much better than this.
It is also pretty weak balancewise. It is not a valuecard, since Tracking destroys the two other options. And barely anyone plays Tracking, so why put 3 into your deck?

I don't think this card is eligible, though I actually quite like the idea. It says it must shuffle a card in the deck, not just put it on top.
Small wording mistake it should say "transform it into a random minion that costs your current number of Mana Crystals". I decided to add the word "current" in just so the text would look better. Otherwise though, this is a pretty cool card.

Thanks for the feedback! Forbidden Shapping was one of my inspirations because I like that card but feels too weak. But I really like the idea of a perfect curved top deck card but absolutely random.
Thought about making it cost 10, but that sounded like too much.
Honestly, not a fan of this one. This has a good chance of either being game winning or doing nothing. I don't like cards with hat much variance. And adding the cost reduction on a decent body is a bit much. Absolutely crazy topdeck with some priest, Shaman, Rogue, and hunter decks.

First thing I though of:
My initial idea.
I thought about making it Leftmost or Rightmost or in your deck instead.
Other ideas is making it Priest, and making it a copy of a card in your opponents hand, or deck. But i am conflicted, to say the least.
Any thoughts?<3
I want a new title, but Flux won't let me have one,
Hmmm gotta make something that still feels strong but not too strong even though we don't have control over its trigger...
This week seems hard, but I got two ideas! Any feedback or opinions?
Tokens:

This is an idea I came up with awhile ago for my Chronomancer class:
The idea is that, as a Time Traveler, she's summoned before you pay for her.
