Discussion Topic Rules
To make sure that everything runs smoothly, we need to reserve the Submission Topic for submissions only. Everything else goes here. What is everything else, you might ask?
Rules or Process. Do you have a question about the competition's process? Do you need clarification about one of the entry requirements? Are you not sure whether your entry adhered to the rules? Ask here!
Feedback or Ideas. Do you have some ideas you'd like to run by others before settling on one? Do you need help balancing or wording your entry? Do you need help finding art that will fit your card? Or do you just want feedback from the community on your entry? You're in the right place! Remember, although you are allowed to make minor tweaks to your entry after you've submitted it, you're only allowed one submission per week, so make sure that you've settled on your card for sure beforehand.
Discussion! Do you have thoughts on other people's entries? Are there directions you don't like that you're seeing too many people take? Or directions you'd like to see more people take? Would you like to help others and contribute to a greater community understanding of Hearthstone card design and balance? This is where you want to be!
All of that said, please refrain from the following:
Posting TONS of Ideas. Discussion topics become an absolute mess if everybody is posting a dozen different ideas. Please post not more than 3 distinct ideas at a time. Any more than that and we'll have to delete your post.
Advertising Your Entry. Please don't pop in here just to advertise your entry only to never be heard from again. This includes only asking short, generic, or insincere questions like "Thoughts?" or "Do you think this is interesting?". Yes, getting feedback on your entry is one of the purposes of this topic, but we're not just here for other people to help you. We're here for you all to help each other. 12 hours after this competition begins, there should be plenty of other posts here for you to give specific feedback or for you to comment on a trend. If you post your entry for feedback after this time and do not also offer some form of substantial commentary, critique, or praise of others' work, you may find your post deleted.
Plagiarism. Many people post their ideas here before finalizing them in the submission topic. Directly plagiarizing those ideas to post in the submission topic yourself is absolutely not acceptable.

I literally had this exact prompt in mind at one point for a competition. Then at some point between Seasons 5 and 6, Livienna hosted her own mini-competition with this exact prompt.
As long as he is Enraged, he will continue to horn in additional Tauren Warriors.

Well shoot. I checked all the prior competitions before proposing this prompt but didn't think to check non-WCDC competitions that have been hosted on this site. I'll defer to the mods on this one as to whether they want to replace it with something else.

You don't have to. With this being an official competition, it'll get significantly more traffic and attention than the aforementioned mini-competition and I really like this prompt.

Would the first one count? The rules did not say the original card could not be altered in some way. If not, the second would count, eh? The Deathwing synergy!
Not sure how balanced it is, but either-way there is a lot going on here. It's a really cluttered idea.

Damn, that's good. I think the statline is about right for the cost, but I think it might be better as a higher cost minion. Say, a 4 mana 4/3 or a 5 mana 5/4.

I guess it counts, but I'm not sure how balanced it is. Decent enough Handbuffing and you've got an insane 10-point drop. Side-note: summoning Alex is kind of meaningless, outside of flavor.

Thank you :3 I will think about that. I wanted it to be three mana because it would let you get the Heckler a turn early if you played it on your own minions. But for the sake of balance, I think having an all class 3 mana transform card is a little too strong. Also at 4 mana it can trade into the Heckler cleanly. I will sleep on this idea.
Didn't we have a very similar thing already? I think so. Not that it's bad tho.
We've done a few similar things, but never this exactly. I think the closest one was a Mini-Comp, where we did this theme but restricted it to Basic and Classic cards.
This is the Discussion Topic. The Submission Topic will go up in ~24 hours.
