Welcome to the 6th Mini-Competition; Hosted by me, PupleMD. For this competition, your task is to make cards that
don't
work.
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.
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. (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
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/Nov/2017)
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/Nov/2017, Ends 22:00 UTC 19/Nov/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! Note that this phase only lasts for 1 Hour.
Final Phase
(Starts 22:00 UTC 19/Nov/2017. Ends 21:00 UTC 20/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 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
Note that Mini-Competition winners, unfortunately, do not get to select any future competition theme. :(
Bragging rights are always awesome, but as usual, we do offer a couple of HearthPwn site rewards to competition winners:
Their card forever immortalized in our
Winners' Gallery
!
And a unique
Avatar Border
& "
Card Design Champion
" Title, as depicted below!
There are extremely few ways for the Paladin to currently avoid the
Battlecry
, and they rely on luck or
Desperate Stand
revival-after-the-fact. It's the ultimate counter to
Dirty Rat
, though lol.
Behold, foolish interlopers! I am commanding this mortal to spread the will of the Scourge throughout the interwebs, encouraging you to seek out me, Archlich Kel'Thuzad! Now coming to you as the tenth class of Hearthstone!
I am a finalist in this Class Creation Competition, so if you could give it a look I would be greatly appreciative <3
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. This also enable
Northshire Cleric
/
Circle of Healing
shenanigan.
Note; The card only give health to minions that SURVIVED, which mean that tokens from
Deathrattle
won't get the buff.
In a number of situations, this is the same as a spell that just does 4 damage, so the restoring 1 Health and 1 of the damage dealt cancel each other out. The spell is useful against characters at full Health, when you have an effect that turns healing into damage, or if you need to trigger an "on healing" effect (e.g.,
Northshire Cleric
).
This is the Submission Topic. The Discussion Topic is here.

Good Luck!
Kinda a parody on how many kids think there are a monster in their closet. But it pretty much never shows itself.
I want a new title, but Flux won't let me have one,
