This weeks theme comes from
RazorOfArtorias
, whose "Leech Archer" won our
"Power To The People"
competition. They've informed us of a fantastic gathering taking place...
Happy Hallow's End!
This is
Professor Putricide
's favourite holiday, and he's planning a huge get together for all of his friends. He needs some brand new monsters to really scare up the place though, so he's asked for your help!
Your card must be a
minion
. Try and make it as spooky as possible for the good Professor, although it isn't a requirement.
Your card must have one of the following keywords, to show you're really embracing the holiday spirit:
Poisonous
Deathrattle
Lifesteal
General Competition Rules
These are the rules that remain consistent from competition to competition.
First, these are the rules about Posting:
You are allowed to submit
only one entry
. An entry normally consists of only
one
collectible card, plus any necessary additional material or commentary (explained below).
You are allowed to post in this Submission Topic
only once
, only to submit your one entry.
You may not delete ANY posts you make in this Submission Topic
, not even accidental ones you may make over your one allowed, such as by double-posting or by accidentally posting something here that you meant for the Discussion Topic. If you do accidentally post more than once, inform any of the Fan Creation Forum moderators via PM, and we will handle it.
Speaking of the Discussion Topic, that is where any discussion of this competition should go. This thread is for
submissions only
. If you want to discuss your card or ask questions about the competition rules or process, you can find a link to the Discussion Topic at the top of this thread. Plenty of folks there will be happy to help you out.
Once you have submitted your one entry, you are allowed to make
only minor changes
to it. Minor changes are things like correcting typos or making balance changes that do not alter the spirit of your entry as determined by we the moderators. If you want to make any changes and have any doubts as to their legality, ask us first.
These are the rules about your Submission:
Accompanying the image of your card, you may offer some
minimal additional commentary
to explain its design, balance, and/or other qualities. Flavor text is also welcome.
You
may not
submit any Gold cards or animated cards. (It's just a cheap attention grab tactic that makes it unnecessarily difficult to determine what class your card is for.)
Your entry must be a card of
your own creation
. We've been doing this for a while, so if you blatantly rip off somebody else's idea, we will know.
Remember that, although HearthCards is awesome,
you MUST host your card somewhere other than Hearthcards.
Save it and upload it to
Imgur
,
Photobucket
, or some other similar site. HearthCards has a limited server space and will purge cards after a few days, and nobody wants your card disappearing part-way through the finals. We understand that there are some HearthCards memberships that will allow you to save your card there for longer (and you should totally get one of those just for general fan creation purposes, by the way), but we don't know who has those memberships and we can't tell from the URLs.
Fun and even humorous entries are perfectly allowed, but "troll" entries will be disqualified. If you're worried that your card may be misinterpreted as a troll card, contact a moderator before you submit.
TIP:
Though not a rule exactly, we
highly
recommend that you insert your images using this icon on the bar above the post text editor:
. Just click that button and put in the URL of your image. Cards that are uploaded and attached to your post are not disallowed, but in our experience they will not do nearly as well, so this is for your own benefit more than anything.
Finally, know that manipulating votes in any way is strictly forbidden. Any violators will receive an official warning, and will be banned from this and all future HearthPwn Card Design Competitions.
Competition Process
Entry and Early Voting Phase
(Starts Now! Ends 20:00 UTC 30/Oct/2017)
During this Phase, the Submission Topic is made available for your submissions. You may also, of course, feel free to give early up-votes to any submissions that you like!
Voting Phase
(Starts 20:00 UTC 23/Oct/2017, Ends 20:00 UTC 31/Oct/2017)
During this Phase, the Submission Topic will be locked, so no more entries may be submitted. Instead, use this time to browse the submissions and up-vote your favorites!
Final Phase
(Starts 20:00 UTC 24/Oct/2017, Ends 20:00 UTC 1/Nov/2017)
During this Phase, the Discussion Topic will also be locked, and a new Poll Topic will go up. Discussion will be allowed to continue in the Poll Topic, and it will also include all the qualifying finalists and poll to decide the winner of the competition!
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.)
Rewards
Bragging rights are always awesome, but as usual, we do offer a couple of HearthPwn site rewards to competition winners:
Wanna design another playable 4 drop minion for Rogue so there it is, the Poison Apple can also use to
trigger
Combo
. BTW, I'm not sure if this design fits the rules.
Wanted to create a "on-going" removal that kinda more or less spreads a Corruption on the board. I like the result of it, it could be long term. Or just sacrifice a turn to mess it up even more or leave it so it stops.
Happy Halloween everyone.
edit: changed art of the card because it used the same as another submission on this page
Corruption - for those who doesn't know what it does (Warlock Basic Set)
Alchemist Finklestein is the perfect guest for this party! With a sort-of-similar effect as party-host
Professor Putricide
, he is here to launch a fun new type of Mage: Potion Mage!
I know
silence
is kind of a priesty thing, but i felt that it worked here with the flavor of stealing the
deathrattle
when you trigger
combo
. Anyways, this is a fun tech card for rogues that functions somewhat like a combination of
Unearthed Raptor
and
Defias Cleaner
. Note: This card only silences
enemy
deathrattle
minions, so you don't have to worry about playing
deathrattle
minions of your own. Anyways, give a thumbs up if you like the card.
This is the Submission Topic. The Discussion Topic is here.

REMOVED
Wanna design another playable 4 drop minion for Rogue so there it is, the Poison Apple can also use to trigger Combo . BTW, I'm not sure if this design fits the rules.
Poison Apple
"Spider bite does not include super strength, web production, or extra sensory abilities."
I don't mean to alarm you, but you have a skeleton inside your body.

Corruption - for those who doesn't know what it does (Warlock Basic Set)
Check out my submission for this weeks card design competition; or my other fan creations! Nullius in verba
A tool for control/demonlock! Can protect your other minions, or prevent your opponent from using Power Word: Shield or Molten Reflection .
Two options: Die, or become a part of the plague. I think death is the obvious choice.
How's my smile, guys...? Happy October, everyone, and good luck.
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.
Alchemist Finklestein is the perfect guest for this party! With a sort-of-similar effect as party-host Professor Putricide , he is here to launch a fun new type of Mage: Potion Mage!
Potions include anything that is on the list of spells that a Kabal Chemist could give you, such as Freezing Potion , Volcanic Potion and Potion of Polymorph .
Beware the almighty Potion of Madness as it could easily ruin the party!
