These are the rules that remain consistent from tournament to tournament.
First, these are the rules about your entry:
You are allowed to submit only one entry via PM. An entry normally consists of only one collectible card, plus any necessary additional material or commentary (explained below). You may also post your ideas in this thread.
Once you have PM'd me your one entry, you are allowed to make only minor changes to it. Minor changes are things like correcting typos or making balance changes that do not alter the spirit of your entry as determined by me. If you want to make any changes and have any doubts as to their legality, ask me first.
These are the rules about your Submission:
Accompanying the image of your card, you may offer some minimal additional commentary to explain its design, balance, and/or other qualities. Flavor text is also welcome.
You may not submit any Gold cards or animated cards. (It's just a cheap attention grab tactic that makes it unnecessarily difficult to determine what class your card is for.)
Your entry must be a card of your own creation. We've been doing this for a while, so if you blatantly rip off somebody else's idea, I and other people will know.
Remember that, although HearthCards is awesome, you MUST host your card somewhere other than Hearthcards. Save it and upload it toImgur, Photobucket, or some other similar site. HearthCards has a limited server space and will purge cards after a few days, and nobody wants your card disappearing part-way through the finals. We understand that there are some HearthCards memberships that will allow you to save your card there for longer (and you should totally get one of those just for general fan creation purposes, by the way), but we don't know who has those memberships and we can't tell from the URLs.
Fun and even humorous entries are perfectly allowed, but "troll" entries will be disqualified. If you're worried that your card may be misinterpreted as a troll card, contact a moderator before you submit.
TIP: Though not a rule exactly, I highly recommend that you insert your images using this icon on the bar above the post text editor: . Just click that button and put in the URL of your image. Cards that are uploaded and attached to your post are not disallowed, but in our experience they will not do nearly as well, so this is for your own benefit more than anything.
Finally, know that manipulating votes in any way is strictly forbidden. Any violators will receive an official warning, and will be banned from this and all future HearthPwn Card Design Tournaments.
Round Process
Entry Phase (Starts Now! Ends 18/June/2017) During this Phase, you may submit your cards to me via PM. Voting Phase (Starts 18/June/2017, Ends 25/June/2017) During this Phase, I will put up a new voting thread and this thread will be locked. Discussion will be allowed to continue in the Poll Topic, and it will also include all the competitors and poll to decide the top 3!
I want to give credit to ShadowsOfSense for making this awesome template for the Weekly Card Design Competition. I will be using this template from now on to keep my tournament as organized as possible.
I apologize for my ugly photoshop and not using WOW art. In order to match my design, I have to choose a mech which is sound like a legendary. Please forgive my disgusting image. And vote for my idea of the ability instead of dislike my horrible sense of art.Thank you.

I find that trying to stick too close to the source material can sometimes ruin what I was going for as well. There's plenty of art that floats around that you could totally alter to make fit
And if you still have trouble finding art. reach out! I know plenty of users here would totally be willing to help you out! :D
I had meant to do a review of this phase but got distracted and forgot. Anyway congrats to Zardoz and Shanks (and myself!) and looking forward to the final prompt.

Deadrop, one of the top three from the last tourney, came up with a prompt for the final round. The prompt will be to make a card out of a giant piece of artwork provided by Deadrop. He is still looking for a good picture.

Neato! Vote for my card Disarm.
I like the other cards are great too. Immune is always a tricky keyword to work with, but I think Arcane Master is balanced enough.
Is Redqueen's card image broken for everyone else?
Razorfen Ambusher pushes Midrange Secret Hunter so that's where my vote will go for this :D gj to all the cards
