Hello everybody! This topic is for discussion of our "Counter-Productive" mini-competition from our mod, PupleMD. 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?
Competition-Specific Restrictions:
Your card must contain, through a combination of card text and stats, a seemingly redundant effect.
An easy example would be a 0/2 with Poisonous, or a minion with charge and "can't attack".
Your card can be a minion or spell, as long as part of the card is cancelled out by another part.
Competition Process
NOTE: Mini-Competitions have very different time-tables than our normal competitions, so please pay attention so that you're not caught off-guard!
Entry Phase and Early Voting (Starts Now! Ends 21:00 UTC 19/11/17) It is during this Phase that you may submit entries to the Submission Topic. You may also, of course, feel free to give early up-votes to any submissions that you like! Note that this is only 24 hours! Voting Phase (Starts 21:00 UTC 19/11/17, Ends 22:00 UTC 19/11/17) 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! Note that this phase only lasts for 1 Hour. Final Phase (Starts 22:00 UTC 19/11/17. Ends 21:00 UTC 20/11/17) 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!
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.
So, without further ado, have fun and get creating!

WTF? The Competition Process is listed as ending in 31/May/2017 in the submission process. Can someone fix that? We can't all be time travelers like Nozdormu.
both your cards fit the requirements well, just pick one yourself
If I would chose, then I would go with the 0 mana spell. The tauren, although very well thought (stealthy as a rogue, but big and clumsy as a tauren), well... there are similar cards in the submission page, so the spell will help you differ from the others.
It would have to be "deal 5 damage, restore 5 health" to qualify. Right now it isn't "cancelled out"
The rules don't say the entire text has to be redundant, it just has to contain a redundant effect, and part of this card is redundant. The health gain is cancelled out by 1 of the damage. The effect is the same as "Deal 4 damage. Deal 1 damage. Restore 1 health.", where the second two sentences are redundant. It seems like you're being arbitrarily nitpicky if you don't allow this.
Harmful Remedy is actually a really cool card and not only for this week's theme. Could probably be too strong in priest tho, since Northshire Cleric exists.
My favorite is Ox-y Moron: paradoxical effect, while still actually having use in Discardlock...especially if you Discover Silverware Golem hehe ;D Shock Wave has a similar quality, in that you can at least exploit Moorabi before the Silence hits. That's probably too good at 2-mana, though, considering Frost Nova costs 3, and Mass Dispel 4.
Harmful Remedy is my least favorite, for it isn't particularly original (not like mine is, but whatever).

Hmm, I guess you're right. Not necessarily what I had in mind, but that is what I wrote, so its allowable.

Punish Aggro while rewarding set up through health buff, healing and smart trade. Plus, play to Priest's strength of having minions with high health.
Note; The card only give health to minions that SURVIVED, which mean that tokens from Deathrattle won't get the buff.

Here's what I've got so far! Your thoughts?
