Hello fellow card creators. Have you ever seen a card from a new expansion that looked very similar to a card you had designed before? Well, it has happened to me a few times so I wanted to share it and also know if you've had a similar experience.
One they I had the idea of designing a card where a beast hybernates to gain stats but it also freezes itself. Even though it's druid and not shaman and it only works with beasts the idea is very similar and it could see play in beast druid or even token druid.
Well, would you look at that. I posted this on a weekly card design competition and it got ignored. I really think this card is very interesting since it gives you intelligence about your opponent's deck every turn and you can choose to spend 2 mana to remove a key card from his deck but then you won't know what he ended up drawing.
Wow, I didn't expect blizzard to print a card that was more powerful than my own version. Really excited to play with the archbishop nevertheless.
Okay guys now it's your turn. If you've ever seen a new card and thought "hey, that looks like one of my cards" please share it in this thread. Of course I'm not implying that blizzard got the idea from us, that's very unlikely, but it sure is fun to check out the similarities.
5 months ago, someone created Defile. The only thing different about it was that their version was 3 mana and the art is different. This kind of stuff happens a good bit. The Reddit post.
I started making a timewalking expansion while I was in uni this year and made several cards, plan to finish when I start again as it's for an ongoing project. Not unlike the druid card 'Spreading Plague'. Bare in mind I haven't been balancing yet however.
I perfectly predicted Eternal Servitude, minus the rarity. Shadow Gate is a card I made for the Expansion Creation Competition. I got the custom title, "Eternal Prophet" for doing this.

Not as good as that Redditor who made Defile, but I made a similar mechanic at the end of 2015:
Like Archbishop Benedictus, but on your own deck. I thought it would be more highly costed for the effect:
A card that's somewhat similar to Dead Man's Hand, with an overall effect of shuffling the average number of cards that Dead Man's Hand would hit (6). Costed closer to Gang Up.
Back before Kharazan, in 2015 I made this card:
Also made in 2015. Pretty much the exact same as Corrupting Mist, but only targets enemies.
Similar to Bolvar, Fireblood in terms of statline. Power level is something else. The text means all your minions have +4 Attack on your opponent's turn, your spells that grant Health and Restore Health grant/restore an extra 4 Health.
Speaking of cards that are similar that Blizzard released, I had to change this card because of Spirit Lash. I had designed my version to avoid having interactions with Spell Damage. The change I made to my card sees an increase in your maximum Health. The card originally restored health, but I had to change my card so that it avoided looking like a copy. I was getting ready to show the community my set, but then they showed off Spirit Lash, and I had to make a change. Thanks, Blizzard.

Err I can't seem to find any card similar to yours...

Looks underwhelming but cool btw.
Did you even read my post? Not to come across as insulting. I just don't understand how you were able to consciously respond with this seriously. Spirit Lash is the card that forced me to correct my custom card. I really don't mean to come across as mean, but I legit almost punched a hole in the wall after reading your comment. Thanks for the kind words on my design though.
If you don't want to come across as insulting maybe you shouldn't exaggerate everything in the first place :)
Also you are welcome but it is the art that i found cool, not the design since it is very underwhelming and unnecessarily crowded with words compared to the rule that blizzard follows that is simplicity,...
Medivh's Valet: ok this time, mine is sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiightly better :D i didnt even realize at that time, it would trigger even from enemy secrets lol :))) if it was 1 dmg that would probably fix that tho :P
Mukla, Tyrant of the Vale: i pretty much did mukla in his teens :D guess he didnt change much when he grew up :)
This was an early weapon concept for my Death Knight class which I ended up scrapping due to it occupying a niche of a similar card.
The reason it's posted as a discord message instead of an actual card image is because I created this card using the discord bot that I coded, which makes hearthstone cards from the command line in Discord. Since the bot doesn't save the cards it creates, it was deleted from hearthcards many months ago. (If you are truly skeptical that this happened for some reason, you can come to the customhearthstone discord, use search to see that this message from 4 months ago is unedited, and also check that my discord name is harsh criticism bird.)
Devour Mind: i did this one day before Devour Mind was released kinda as a joke, when someone asked, what other priest cards would we like to see :D Thanks Blizz! <3 (tho i do think 4 cost is more appropriate, since u are getting random crap after all) :)
Also Knuckles from MSoG is same as my Jeriah, The Death Charger. Knuckles costs 1 less mana for 1 less attack and mine also deals damage whenever it deals damage not only attacks.
Also you can say it looks like Kabal Crystal Runner. Mine is underpowered version of that I guess.

Come visit my Card Emporium. Strange things, you will find inside...
Come take the test, if you're daring. Feel free to show me your results in a message.
Yes, I created Snowflipper Penguin for this week's WCDC a day before they announced it, except my name for it was 100x cooler and more accurate:
I made this card for a WCDC a while back. It has the exact same text as Animated Berserker, though it's a little bigger.
I posted this card along with some other fanmade cards a few months ago.

I wonder how many people will post here with just now made cards similar to the revealed cards.

But good luck in future designs.
Still waiting for my card to show up ;)
(tho it's unlikely cuz of Ice Walker)

This has happened to me multiple times before, but I have two specifically from KoFT.
Spirit Whisperer - Corpse Raiser
Pretty much exactly what just got released, with the minor changes of making it a shaman card and giving it +1 health.
There's also this one:
Ice Sickle - Ice Breaker

Here are mines;
A warlock card that is same Spirit Lash. Spirit Lash costs 1 less mana.
Also Knuckles from MSoG is same as my Jeriah, The Death Charger. Knuckles costs 1 less mana for 1 less attack and mine also deals damage whenever it deals damage not only attacks.
Also you can say it looks like Kabal Crystal Runner. Mine is underpowered version of that I guess.

I wonder if Blizzard looks at these as source for inspiration.
