Oh, well, I arrived too late to take part in this week contest. Anyway, I forgot to come up with a collectible card and made one for Arfus/The Lich King x) The source card fitted the Death Knight so much I couldn't resist. :)

 That gives me an idea. Since we now have an official card background for the Death Knight class, the next competition should be about making Death Knight cards generated by Arfus and Lich King.

That sounds like an awesome idea! The winner of the card competition chooses the theme for the next competition though :P (Well technically they choose the theme for the next next competition i.e. in 2 weeks time, but you get the idea). But hey, your card is looking pretty good so far! You might win! :)

Btw, what do you think about my card? It's a bit difficult to balance...

 It's an interesting theme. Much less broken then mine. Though mine is gonna have tough competition for that one guy made this:

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO COMPETE AGAINST THAT?!

It was definitely a lot of fun submitting a first attempt. Jace the Mind Sculptor has definitely been a very influential and nuisance kind of card in the Magic the Gathering field since it's creation years ago. I did want to share with you all another creation of mine built on the same 0 casting idea as my submission. Enjoy. :D 

If you spend 0 through 4 mana you receive this hero power.

 If you spend 5 to 9 mana you gain this hero power.

 And finally... if you spend 10 mana... you gain THIS hero power. 

 I definitely will be continuing to submit ideas in future competitions and congratulations to everyone on all your awesome submissions.

It reads 3 mana "Reveal 4 random minions in your opponent's deck and choose one. Transform it into a random minion that costs (1) more." So, this is basically is a Legendary spell that's NOT a Quest, and all it does is make you spend 3 whole Mana to make a minion in your opponent's deck better.

So yeah, it's not exactly the greatest card. XD

Also, you aren't exactly competing with it (yet). You're competing with the cards on the same page as yours for a spot in the final poll. Here's the exact details of the competition process:

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.)

 I do like how you're implementing something vaguely akin to loyalty counters with the Forbidden mechanic from Whispers of the Old Gods.  However, this card does literally nothing but change your Hero Power, which is only one part of the mystique of Hero Cards in Hearthstone.  There might be a better way of implementing an analogue of loyalty counters, honestly.

Since you're a newcomer, you probably aren't aware of this, but there's an unofficial rule that card text on a Hearthstone card CANNOT exceed 4 lines. There is no official Hearthstone card that has more than 4 lines of word text. This rule exists to encourage simplicity within cards and to make sure that the card isn't too lengthy in other languages. The more words there are on a card, the smaller the individual words are, and the harder it is to read them, especially on mobile devices. This card has over 4 lines of text, so it's not a plausible Hearthstone card. The card text can be simplified anyways ("Battlecry: Spend all your mana. Your Hero Power is based on the amount of Mana you've spent.")
