Why am I doing this? Well? I use this site a LOT more than once a week... More like a few times every day, and I really want to do more stuff. Also, nobody's really made another fan-made CDC in a while, so I thought: why not?
Theme: Simplicity
Round-Specific Restrictions:
Your card must cost (1)
Your card must have two or less lines. (Including all tokens and stuff)
Rules
There will be a total of 9 contestants. (I will take 9 at a time. Any more and it gets muddled. Once a contestant is eliminated, another contestant will take their place! See how long of a streak you can get! The rounds will cycle from 1-9 continuously, or at least until I get tired of it...)
Each round (once a week), the lowest scoring contestant will be eliminated. In the case of a tie, both contestants will PM one of the following three options: Assassinate, Faerie Dragon, or Deathwing. (Assassinate beats Deathwing which beats Faerie Dragon which beats Assassinate. In case of another tie, I'll flip a coin.)
Most rules in most other card competitions apply. You should know what's okay and not okay. [ex. No golden/animated cards unless otherwise specified, no vote manipulation, one entry per contestant, don’t be a jerk in general].
The first round requires contestants to make a 1-cost card (and follow a theme). The second round requires contestants to make a 2-cost card (and another simple theme). Each round will increase the cost of the card by 1.
If a contestant fails to submit, they will be automatically removed. Another contestant will still be removed that week, and two new contestants will take their places.
All future prompts:
These themes are just examples. I like them because they work quite well for each cost. My favorite of them are "Simplicity" and "Complexity". The are bound to change at will
Round and Cost Requirement for the round
Theme
1 or less
Simplicity (Make a card with two or less lines)
2
Combo (Make a card that works really well with a few another card, but not particularly strong alone. There are wayyyy too many examples out there… I don’t think I need to list them)
Complexity (Make a relatively complex card with at least four lines of text total… so generate all the tokens you can! Ex. Every Quest Ever, Every DK Hero Ever, Yogg-Saron, Hope's End, C'Thun, Blackguard, Lord Jaraxxus, Every Token Generator Ever)

Ends ~4PM CDT X/Sept/2017 - Saturday to Monday at ~5PM) Players will be given their next prompt. Also, voting will commence for three days (until Monday at 4:00PM).

Pretty good first round overall, I think. The flavor especially is strong in many of these.
Just clearing up a few things-
@Teknician: When you say "three turns", do you mean three of your turns, or three of either player's turns? I would guess the former, but I want to make sure.
@Phoenixfeather: The voting results are visible after you've voted. Not sure if that's what you intended since you moved away from that in your last CDC. Also, my name does not have an underscore ("TheProgenitor", not "The_Progenitor").
Great flavor on Bladefist. Not sure if the downside makes up for how powerful it is, though. Some of the others are definitely too powerful. Silverclaw Beast would be balanced as a class card, but it's too powerful as a neutral. Brewfist Ram is more powerful than any existing 1 drop. It's better than Enchanted Raven, which is a class card. Goblin Scientist is a good idea, but I think it's slightly too powerful as a 1 mana 1/3.
Some of the cards are too weak, too. Final Stand and Nobility in particular. It would be hard to get enough Divine Shield minions out to make Final Stand worthwhile, and the buff on Nobility needs to be larger to justify putting textless minions in your deck. Even in Arena, it probably needs to be a little stronger, since it's such a slow card.
Also, with Wild Looter, does your hero need to attack to get the trigger, or does casting a spell also count?

Yeah, for sure meant three of your turns. The only cards that really do that other kind of thing are ones like Kel'Thuzad, which specify "each". I suppose I could've written "In three of your turns" but it would've been too long. :)

Sorry about that... I must be thinking of The_Odinson...
@nurgling13
Yes, I know the voting thing is visible. How one makes a voting poll only visible AFTER the voting is over is still a mystery to me.

I've made my vote, though I'm not going to say who I voted for. I will ask why there's an option that says "Angry Chicken by Phoenixfeather". I don't see any card here from you.

Bladefistis way to Powerful in Pirate Warrior since they only hold around 3 cards in a normal game.
Potential for abuse in Pirate warrior, for sure... If they're going second I see The Coin + Bladefist + Upgrade! as a pretty nasty turn 1. Then Southsea Deckhand + Patches next turn and another Upgrade!... I've seen Pirate warriors empty their hand out by turn 4, so this is a real boon for them as a FWA replacement.
My vote went to Goblin Sceintist. It's a pretty nice effect that could probably make Secret Hunter viable. Stats maybe would make it a bit op, but it could've been fine as a 1/1.
And to those who have doubts about my cards - I don't think my card is that op. Maybe a little bit over the top, but not much, because it looks to be strong on paper, but then what decks could utilize this card? I'm not sure about any maybe besides Quest Hunter and as a weird tech card vs Token Shaman for control decks.
Silverclaw Beast is nice, I could see Rogue using this deck to compliment their hero power and to trade early with other 1/3's. Warrior wouldn't mind having an extra 1 attack-especially with their AoE damage effects. Druid could buff that minion and not have to hero power to deal extra damage. In my opinion, it's a very powerful card, not in its stats entirely, but one that adds a lot of early game power if it's damaged and not removed. Which is why I voted for it.
As for my card, I made it intentionally strong, because hunter doesn't have a 1/3 class minion that can snowball games, but not one that gains attack through easily activatable effects. This one trades your counterplay ability into straight up tempo, which means that if your secrets are deal with early, you're probably going to run out of steam.
And Bladefist would be run in every aggro warrior ever, since the downside isn't really a factor that affects them. Voted for that one too.
It seems that in a moment of great intelligence, I've forgotten to put an ending date on the poll. Anyway, I'll be ending it in about an hour. Sorry about that.
