@nurgling - I'm of two minds. Well, unrelated, I think your Cute Critter is the most amusing design, so definitely props for that. But, between Sentry Bot and Banana Hoarder, I'm a bit ambivalent towards both of them. I really love the defensive properties of Sentry Bot, the natural evolution of Tar Creeper, but, I'm not sure I like how it kind of self-heals from Pings on your enemy's turn. Granted, dealing 2 damage at a time isn't that hard after the first few turns, and it's not necessarily that punishing if they can't clear it asap, but essentially it's an Animated Armor effect on a 1 mana taunt. I love its control aspect, but I wonder if it's a bit much.
Likewise, Banana Hoarder. It's a bit simple of a card, maybe a bit obvious, but, there's elegance in simplicity. It has so many applications in any deck that cares about the action of casting spells (Miracle Rogue, Tempo Mage, Quest Mage, etc), and, unlike other cards of that nature giving you coins or random mage spells, a banana is so much healthier (literally, too)
I think, in the end, talking myself into it, I prefer Banana Hoarder.
Here's what I'm thinking about submitting. This card is like Prince Malchezar, in that it happens after the muligan. If you include this in your deck, you see an animation as it hops into your opponents deck, but your opponent wouldn't see this animation! Their deck would appear the normal size, until they suddenly draw the Jackalope.
@ZardozSpeaks - But then, you'd be getting The Jackalope out of your deck. So now you've got your 29 card deck vs their 31 card deck, which makes your's that much more consistent, while making their's that much more inconsistent. And for no extra cost at the start of the game. Not to mention how the game would be outright lying to you; at least when you discover a card, your opponent sees the card backs. To sneak a card into the deck, how would the animation look from your side of the field, and how would that extra second or two delay not be a giveaway of it's on?
All that, and it could still be something your opponent could check for on their turn. ("Uh-oh, Hunter. Let's see, my deck is normal sized, that doesn't tell me much. What about their de--heeey, wait a minute! Why are you at 25 cards when your opening hand was 3 cards before the draw phase? Ooooh, that pesky Jackalope!")

There is literally no deck that would not include this. Not only do you get to thin your deck for free, but you perform a deck attack on your opponent at no cost. To add insult to injury, the game lies to your opponent about whether or not they had a deck attack performed on them. It's just an unfair, unfun card.
Damn, why am I always late on these? Well, here are some cards I just came up with:
Any thoughts?
If you have two Skeletal Whelps, you could alternate playing them and never lose them. Even without doing that, you can keep playing it and keep getting it back in the likely event you're holding a big dragon.
Animator has a lot of good potential, though. That's a good, solid, simple design. You should call it Necromancer, though. Especially with that art. Necromancer is something actually in Warcraft.

I think this is way OP. You can essentially give your opponent a dead draw while also thinning out your deck by 1 card with barely any disadvantage, which is pretty nuts. It's only really bad when you draw it, but the same can be said for Patches.
Now first I will explain Innkeeper a little. If you play this card in WIld then he can discover all the Game Boards. If you play this card in Standard then you cannot discover the Following Game Boards - Naxxramas, Goblin vs Gnomes, Blackrock Mountain, The Grand Tournament, Excavation Site(LOE), The Museum(LOE). Also if you discover a standard game board that have been in the game since alpha you will add a Basic card to your hand. The standard Game Board includes - Stormwind, Orgrimmar, Pandaria and Stranglethorn. The Limited time variants of this game Board cannot be discovered which appeared in Winter Veil and Year of the Mammoth Brawls.
Here is more information on the Game Boards
Now no more Boring Old Gods Game Board!
The Deathrattle part of this card is a bit clunky. I could not think of a better wording because I was limited by 4 lines rule. If you can rephrase it better then please tell me.
#Note - The Innkeeper can only be obtained on attending a HCT Tournament(just like ETC).
Now, the second card, Pavelling Book is pretty obvious. Pavel's favorite card in the game.
So, I already submitted my card, and I don't intend to really walk it back, but I was wondering if I could make an edit to change the artwork.
And also which artwork fits better for the card, the original on the left
You're always allowed to make minor changes, and the artwork is a minor change. I don't really like the one you currently have, so I think the one on the right would be an improvement.
I think the card you posted isn't OP with quest rogue for the following reasons;
1) most quest rogues already finish the quest before turn 5, and it costs (5) mana to play 2) there is a board cap of 7, so if they alternate this card could only generate 3 charges, unless the rogue starts killing their own minions (which tbh rogue is not very good at) 3) The minion doesn't have charge, o playing it the turn after finishing the quest isn't the most powerful option rogue has.
Thanks, but the 1.0 was considerably more powerful:
Basically, as long as you can activate the combo (i.e. starting with the Coin), a single Shadowstep is all you need to complete the quest. That just seemed way, way busted to me, which led to the Doppelcat token.
The original version of Doppelcat added a Dupli-cat to your hand if you comboed it, and I didn't like that a lot either. It felt too easily abused, because in addition to being able to brainlessly pump up Questings and/or VanCleef, later turns would allow you to refill the board with 7 1/1s after every turn. Those were things I didn't want the card to be able to do; the real idea was to spend 1 mana on a guaranteed combo activator for a later turn. I added stealth for some synergy with cards like Shadow Sensei and to give Quest Rogue a chance to put it down on one turn and bounce it the next turn. The final version of both cats felt the most balanced to me.
Jackalope version 2. No deck attack in this version, just deck-thinning. Seems safe for hunter, who doesn't have much combo potential, but can still benefit from deck thinning for aggro purposes. Of course, you can always hold this in your starting hand and still play it as a 1/1 beast.
On the one hand, I want it to win something because it came in second my a mere 3 votes back in the Winter Unveiling competition, but on the other hand, it kind of already had its chance. XD
Simple and versatile. In Mage for example it would be functionally the same as Elven Archer. Rogue, however, can use it to trigger combo while getting a weapon (good for Tinker's Sharpsword Oil for example). Also works with buffed/changed hero powers eg Justicar, Sulfuras, Jaraxxus.

If it makes you feel any better, I thought the wording of your version was better and clearer. I also had the same thing to me happen in competition 5.09.
