General Competition Rules
These are the rules that remain consistent from competition to competition.
First, these are the rules about Posting:
You are allowed to submit only one entry. An entry normally consists of only one collectible card, plus any necessary additional material or commentary (explained below).
You are allowed to post in this Submission Topic only once, only to submit your one entry.
You may not delete ANY posts you make in this Submission Topic, not even accidental ones you may make over your one allowed, such as by double-posting or by accidentally posting something here that you meant for the Discussion Topic. If you do accidentally post more than once, inform any of the Fan Creation Forum moderators via PM, and we will handle it.
Speaking of the Discussion Topic, that is where any discussion of this competition should go. This thread is for submissions only. If you want to discuss your card or ask questions about the competition rules or process, you can find a link to the Discussion Topic at the top of this thread. Plenty of folks there will be happy to help you out.
Once you have submitted 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 we the moderators. If you want to make any changes and have any doubts as to their legality, ask us 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, we 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, we 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 Competitions.
Competition Process
Entry and Early Voting Phase (Starts Now! Ends 20:00 UTC 10/July/2017) During this Phase, the Submission Topic is made available for your submissions. You may also, of course, feel free to give early up-votes to any submissions that you like! Voting Phase (Starts 20:00 UTC 10/July/2017, Ends 20:00 UTC 11/July/2017) During this Phase, the Submission Topic will be locked, so no more entries may be submitted. Instead, use this time to browse the submissions and up-vote your favorites! Final Phase (Starts 20:00 UTC 11/July/2017, Ends 20:00 UTC 12/July/2017) During this Phase, the Discussion Topic will also be locked, and a new Poll Topic will go up. Discussion will be allowed to continue in the Poll Topic, and it will also include all the qualifying finalists and poll to decide the winner of the competition!
How do we determine the qualifying finalists? First, we'll pull up-vote data from each submission using the formula detailed below:
(ab) / (c) = x
Where, a = The total number of submissions on the same page as the submission. b = The total number of up-votes that the submission received. c = The total number of up-votes on the same page as the submission. x = The submission's final score.
The formula basically measures which cards stood out the most, with the necessary assumption that each page is about equal in overall submission quality. It will be the entries that receive the highest final scores that move on to the Final Phase.
The bottom line is that, although entries on the earlier pages of the Submission Topic are much more visible and thus receive many more up-votes than entries on later pages, you don't actually have to rush to get your entry in as soon as possible because the up-votes end up being weighted by what page your entry ends up on in order to determine its final score.
But wait, there's more! During each Weekly Card Design Competition, each Fan Creation Forum moderators will be given a Wild Card, which they can use to advance any one entry that they feel was initially overlooked or under-appreciated to the Final Phase, regardless of its final score. Wild Cards are our way of spicing things up a bit, but please don't ask to be given one or be upset if you aren't given one. These are just supposed to be fun. (Also, it should go without saying that, while we moderators are allowed to participate in the competitions, we are not allowed to benefit from Wild Cards.)
Rewards
Bragging rights are always awesome, but as usual, we do offer a couple of HearthPwn site rewards to competition winners: Their card forever immortalized in our Winners' Gallery! They will be allowed to select the next card design competition theme. And a unique Avatar Border & "Card Design Champion" Title, as depicted below!
Looking for more information about the WCDC or Fan Creations in general? Why not check out this FAQ to see if your question is answered there?
in case it's not obvious, the theme is cards that replace your hero and belong to a class that doesn't represent them (arthas used to be a paladin and had a history with uther, illidan hates his brother, and the emperor is a pacifist, the opposite of a warrior)
please note that i made the cards before reading about the expansion leak, and i'm also not very familiar with the pandarens, so i hope shaohao is alright;
Seer cards allow for more controlled combos you already have prepared for your deck!
These mean that the card Discovered, which is within you deck, will be drawn next time you draw a card from your deck, instead of the card on top of your deck.
This is my submission this week. These are 3 different types of mech masters but all do the same thing. They all have a risk/reward design where the risk is halving your current health, but in doing so, you are power creeping your other mechs to make them better when played, making the stronger.
F.Y.I if your health was at 25 health for example, then it will be rounded up to 13 since halving 25 health will give you 12.5; the last time i checked and that can't happen in the game.
Flavour text 001: Hope there is no enemy taller than 50 feet.
Flavour text 002: The forecast for today, cloudy with some thunder storms later on in the day.
Flavour text 003: who needs helfire when you ARE THE GOD OF HELFIRE, AND YOU BRING THEM FIRE!
Theme: Powerful effect that is affected by the last action you took. These classes are chosen because these are the actions (Mage: Casting spells, Warlock: takes damage, Priest: Target healing) that plays best to their strength.
Note: If the last healing effect is an AoE (Circle of Healing, Holy Nova etc) Echo of Velen will pick the highest healing and then cast it. For example: If your Circle healed 2 minions, one for 4 and one for 2, Echo of Velen will deal 4 damage.
These Echo cards are based on the End Time dungeon, obviously with different characters in order to avoid the Hearthstone rule of not printing Heroes as minions.
This is the Submission Topic. The Discussion Topic is here.
Competition Theme: Rinse, Spin and Cycle
This weeks theme comes from Cogito_Ergo_Sum, whose "Mind Flay" was the winner of our "Debuffering" competition.
