so, i'm pretty much settled on my cards, so i'm making a final post here before submitting it tomorrow (ignore the text formating, i'll fix that); so here's the basic version of 

i've changed the name of the keyword, tell me what you think about it and about the banner.

 

I've decided not to change Bunker Up! despite multiple people saying to buff it a bit because i think it's pretty good as it is (you regain 2/3rds of your life, for crying out loud);

You may have noticed that there are 2 cards a bit smaller than the others, and that's because i can't decide between the two; Repair i think is more interesting, but it's also a bit hard to balance, what do you guys think?

also, tell me which cards do you think would be best to showcase.

I think going in a similar direction to Velen's Chosen (but of course with less stats because that was a broken card) is a good idea in your class. For later sets you could make cards that increase your spell damage as you 'focus': Perhaps 'Absorb: Gain Spell Damage +1." I really like it so far though.

I am torn over hero powers. On the one hand I have someone saying they won't vote for the class if the hero power is minion-limited. On the other hand I have people saying the minion-limited one is the best iteration.

Minion Limited —————————————— Compromise ——————————————— Zero Limits
——————————————

I don't like the idea of having no targets for a hero power on an empty board, but I don't like the idea of having an almost entirely better version of Lesser Heal. Can I get some help on this one? Maybe a strawpoll?

And here is my new take on the basic cards. I got rid of the deck remover because it felt out of place— I don't want it to be a central aspect of the class.

The Rest

Tokens:

Cannon Fodder

Parachute Protocol (the Pilot pool)

 

 I also made all the classic cards and all the Whispers/Karazhan cards. But I won't get ahead of myself.

 ALRIGHT! This is my final *FINAL* post before I submit onto the main thread. I'd like some feedback from you especially on this (as u are a mod), but I'm open to others' feedback as well!

LONER

OUR FRIEND L-001 RETURNS!

The LONER Class is characterized by a slow, control, combo-based play style with opportunities for mind games and counter-play. The Hero power baits the opponent into spending their resources while simultaneously giving the Loner player opportunities to draw the appropriate responses. Expect games with the Loner to last many turns while they also create many puzzling board and fatigue situations. HOWEVER, just because the class archetype is conducive to a control play style, there will be many different tools for aggressive and midrange-oriented players as well.

Class Keyword (not featured in Basic Set):

The Loner wants to Preserve all kinds of treasured memories and memoirs. He wants to make, and be, a good friend by understanding new feelings and remembering dear ones. This way, one day, those wonderful memories will resurface and offer opportunities to bond with old friends, kindle forgotten relationships, and draw critical combos to destroying the enemy!

HP: well im for the middle one.

Goblin Technosapper: seem a little too good, i would go with just +1 attack, or base 2. But lowering the ability to just +1 is a lot better option.

Parachute Protocol: i think it should say "random Pilot", tho i get it would be your 7th card with 3 lines of text :P Is that mby a sign of your basic set being a tiny bit overcomplex?:o

 Hmph! It's not too complicated waaaaa :( Should I make it just 'summon a random Shredder Pilot' like Animal Companion? It'd be less complex I suppose. I'll go for the middle hero power then, and I guess nerf the technosapper like you said. btw it would only be my 5th card with 3 lines of text (ratio atm is 6 with 2 or less lines:4 with 3 or more lines)

I have so many ideas though. It's too much for me to handle! Just look at these two cards:

And this one!

There's so much to look forward to in this competition... I wish the challenge polls were shorter.

Quote from nurgling13 >>

All right, I made a preliminary Basic set. My class is the Ogre Lord. Here's the initial post as a reminder:

Ogre Lord

The basic idea here is that you're a two-headed ogre:

Your two heads can’t always agree, and they have different ideas for how to use your cards. When you use your hero power, you flip over every card in your hand. For normal cards, this means you can’t use it until you flip it back over again (mousing over a flipped card will remind you which card it is). Ogre cards are two-sided, though. Every collectible card is linked to another specific collectible Ogre card, and they become each other when they flip over. So, you switch between them every time the card is flipped. It's like if Warrior had the same number of cards, but Slam flipped over to becomeInner Rage , and vice versa. You also get to draw a card with your hero power, so it's very efficient in terms of card draw:

To make up for the fact that you can’t access all your cards at once, you start the game with an extra card. After you mulligan, the two left-most cards in your hand are flipped over.

Some notes: Legendary cards never flip over (both heads agree they’re pretty cool). Your opponent can’t see flipped over cards. They always just see the normal card backs for cards in your hand. Flipping of cards is tied to the hero power, so if you replace it for whatever reason (e.g., Finley), all your cards are flipped to face you.

Flipping over Ogre cards allows them to use tech and other situational cards more effectively, since they can use the other side of the card if it isn’t useful against the current deck. To take advantage of this, they have a number of these types of cards, such as the anti-weapon Grab and Smash below.

The class revolves around the oafish brutality of Ogre warriors and the cunning of Ogre Magi. There are "50% chance to do the wrong thing" cards (these are referred to as Ogre effects), but also ways to control them through the Rage andCalm keywords. When you give a card Rage , it has 100% chance to do the wrong thing, and when you give it Calm , it has a 0% chance (the text changes on the card to 100% or 0% to remind you). You can make really efficient plays by using these cards under the right circumstances, because cards with "50% chance to do the wrong thing" are mana-efficient for their power, like the 3 damage for 1 mana provided by Chaos Blast.

 Here's the Basic cards:

Some notes: Observing Taunt means that Ogre Smash targets things the same as minions do; if there are Taunt minions in play, it has to target one of them. Two heads draws from your deck.

Ogre cards are also linked together. Now that I have a full set, I can be explicit about what that means. Each of these 10 cards is linked to another one, so that when you use your hero power, they become each other. Tentatively, this is how that would work:

Firegut Tonic <---> Thick Skin
Chaos Blast <---> Ogre Smash!
Basher <---> Crasher
Unsteady Grunt <---> Lazy Ettin
Two Heads <---> Better than One

Hi guys... I haven't made too much progress on my Merfolk class but this is what I have so far. If you can check it out and leave some feedback I'd be happy to help you with yours too :). 
The Basics if you guys forgot 

 Ok so here is the basic set (in the spoiler).

Other basic cards I have planned (but not quite worked out how it will look like) 
- An AoE defensive buff. 
- Health-for-Cards card draw spell. 
- Beefy minion- because my other two are more like removal spells currently. 
-  General single target buff (this one is simple but I'm trying to make it more interesting than Mark of the Wild) Seacost

Some quick thoughts on each card so you have some feedback if Cogito is too busy. 

Mood: Pleased should cost 1 mana in terms of balancing, but it's fine since you need a 0 mana card for the challenge. 

 Friendly Moss is balanced. I personally would like it better as a 2/3 since it gives your opponent card advantage, but it might be too strong for a basic card. 

Bury. Sure. Why not? I don't see too much synergy with what you've shown here, but I assume that you will include cards that will benefit from this.  

The Hatchet is just a strictly worse pre-nerf Fiery War Axe. Although I understand that FWA was a broken OP card, I think this card needs a slight buff or ETB effect to make it competitive. 

Memories is interesting . It's kind of synergistic with Bury (I take back what I said about no synergy earlier)  and it's pretty balanced.  However, most of the time I think this will do nothing more than generate card advantage. 

Spur of Confidence is underpowered if you compare it to Heroic Strike.  Would change it to Give +4 Attack AND Draw a card. 

Mood: Angst is quite powerful as 3 damage to your face is usually negligible.  I think it's fair though. 

Strength in Solitude. I feel like this card can be somewhat stronger, since you have Blessing of Kings, which does the same thing but doesn't have the one minion restriction. Having said that, you can build your early game plan around this card by trading 1-for-1 and having a huge power spike on turn 5 when you play this. Certainly interesting design. 

Spiteful Destruction is slightly weakd. If you look at Flame Lance, it only hits minions but is 1 cheaper and doesn't eat up your deck. I think you can reduce the cost to 5 and still be fine. 

Gentle Golem: War Golem never gets a break does he :(... Fair and balanced card.
