Its basically a Breakthrough mechanic from ESO, i rly liked that mechanic and could definitely imagine it making it into HS as well. Basically what it does is, any excess damage delt to a minion would be delt to the enemy hero. So u attack a 2/3, u deal 3 dmg to it to kill it and enemy hero takes 4 damage. Similar to Knuckles, but works in a slightly different way. Allows u to focus on clearing the board with the minion without sacrificing the entirety of its attack power. Not sure the wording is totally to HS standards tho :/

 

 The thing is, Sinti, I could see this effect on a rare minion. ;)

Should read "Excess damage dealt by this minion is dealt to the enemy hero." It does seem a little too similar to Knuckles as well.

So, stretching the lengths of simplicity:

(Venomancer, Maexxna) : (Flamewreathed Faceless) : (???)

It's funny, because ostensibly that's what it does. But if there were a destroy effect that was dependent around 8-Attack, this would circumvent it. 

The more I think about it the less it makes sense. Do you think "Takes 1 extra damage" justifies the stats then?

Individual reviews while I can manage it:

@Tox: Doctor Golem everyday. I would change the art though. Even a shitty Paint edit of War Golem with a black hood and some Wisps besides him would do.

@Dr_Scaphandre: I love Deathcharger (the 5 damage version), it's simple and flavorful and this competition is obviously about simplicity and flavor.

@Demonx95: I don't really like the card, it's bland ( bland != simple) and Jungle Druid will likely never be viable anyway.

@Teknican: Deathseekr --> The effect is too hard to trigger for the cost. I would make it a 8mana 8/8. Also the card has no flavor associated with the effect. Ferocious Devilsair --> I like this one better. Simple and flavorful, though I would change the art.

@Hieii: Sorry you're only a few seconds late.

@Zukuu: I like it, but I would change the art. (Also I understand the 15/3 logic but that would erase all meme value)

Although everyone here seems to appreciate Megagma Rager, I'm still gonna post the rest of my ideas just in case :

And Megagma Rager updated. I changed the art to be more Warcraft-y. Is it better ?

Damn, i would have so many ideas for good useful common minions, even at that mana cost, but none of them would be rly eye-catching :F

I have this so far:

I really fucking want to do that.

 

I dare you, if you submit your I'll submit this. You need to fight fire with... Am'gam?

 CALM DOWN BOI! JUST CALM DOWN! PUT THE RAGER DOWN!

Here are my ideas so far, will post some feedback on other cards tomorrow. 

Undercity Mage: Really strong effect, could make Control Mage a thing. Strong against Aggro.

Chromie's Disciple: Really good effect if you can set it up nicely. An all-round amazing card in the right decks.

Splintered Summoner: Really like this design. Could make Taunt Druid viable. 

EDIT: Shit found a typo in one of the cards, will fix tomorrow as I cba to do it now.

Ehm, whats the point? To get a minion for Divine Spirit + Inner Fire that your opponent has to remove by cards from hand? I dont see any other value in this.

Ok, thanks for your opinion. I partially agree, but it will be kinda hard to make a flashy card with an ability that will be simple enough to warrant it on a common minion :o i mean like i said before, we can make a lot of very usefull cards that the game could use, but they WILL be boring :F

Wondering if these effects are too complex for the theme though. I guess none of them are worse than Obsidian Destroyer.

Notes:

Harmless Lil' Soultaker - The idea is to roll for the demons with negative battlecries, as these are often well above the power curve for their cost; it is not ideal when cast on minions of just any mana cost. Probably stronger if Blizzard ever prints more negative battlecry demons.

Hero of the Bastion - Soft taunt, aggro/burn shield. =P

Lost Voyager - Attempt to create a midrange or control potential for pirates. Rogue deathrattle synergy, late-game play for rogues but more in the vein of Dreadsteed.

Of all these, I like Harmless Lil' Soultaker the most. I'd make her a 3/3 or 3/4 (or 4/3) though, because it really is just terrible if you don't have like 4 other minions. The statline would also hobble 7-Drop Evolves. Hero of the Bastion seems to similar to Bolf Ramshield, but also more powerful because it's sticky and isn't directly affected. This ends up being a soft-Taunt with extra utility vs. Ultrasaur. Lost Voyager is just unfun and uninteractive because, despite all of Rogue's shortfalls, having a 5/5 that constantly stops up the board is really really useful, especially in combo decks.

Here are a few more ideas:

Northshore Captain is meant to encourage late-game pirate decks. Ice Barrens Prowler is meant to be one of those Druid beasts that also satisfies the 5-Attack requirement. Streetwise Protector is like Bonemare except either better or worse. 

Ugh. What I meant to do was only Stealth until next turn, but that pushes it over three lines. What about the others?
