GREETINGS AND CONGRATULATIONS, MORTALS!
To all our competitors who successfully navigated the horrors of Phase IV to emerge victorious! Below are the 9 people who made it to the next round. Thank you to everyone who participated!
You know the drill by now. The upcoming phases are the two hardest in the competition, with the most cards required from our competitors, so be prepared to work your asses off! Of course, this phase also contains the best expansion in the game, so you should have a lot of funn with it.
As always we have 6 challenges for you to decide between, and the poor saps who made it through will be subject to their terror. The top three challenges will be what our remaining competitors face, so choose wisely!
Here's glamorous assistant Cogito with the Challenges!
Challenge #1
Challenge #2
Challenge #3
Challenge #4
Challenge #5
Challenge #6
We recognise that not all of our competitors will know what Phase V of a class creation competition will require of you, so in the spoiler below you'll find a rundown of the other rules for Phase V, to which the three highest voted challenges will be added.
(Note that some of these rules will have to be tweaked slightly depending on which challenges are chosen, but these are the basic idea).
PHASE V: Mean Streets of Gadgetzan and Journey to Un'Goro
Congratulations on being a semi-finalist! With positively received Whispers of the Old Gods and One Night in Karazhan sets, you've proven that your class's concept and mechanics have room for expansion. Now, there's only one last thing to do: narrow down the best of the best. For this phase, you'll be giving your class Mean Streets of Gadgetzan and Journey to Un'Goro cards. Here are the requirements for your Class Creation Competition Phase V Entry:
There are just a few elements of your class that you will repeat from your Phase I entry, to remind us who and what we're dealing with. If you'd like to repeat anything from your class's introductory explanation, including its flavor or whatever you believe makes it interesting or unique mechanically, that's fine, but try to keep it brief.
We do not want to see your Class's entire MSG and JtU Sets out in the open.
The remaining cards of your class's MSG and JtU Sets must be presented behind a Spoiler Block (Inserting a Spoiler can be done by clicking the ! symbol on the top bar of the text editor.). These cards must obey the same rules are your examples cards with regards to expansion watermarks, rarity gems, and what keywords you may not use.
You should include your completed Basic, Classic, WOG, and ONiK Sets from Phases II-IV behind a Spoiler (Inserting a Spoiler can be done by clicking the ! symbol on the top bar of the text editor.) either before or after your Phase V material. It is fine if these cards have undergone some minor modification, but they must still adhere to all of their original Phase requirements.
You can find me here! Good luck everyone!
All of these look actually quite interesting. Lucky you, guys :)

Okay, seems that the most promising entries still got here, that's good! Now to vote for the challenges.
OH MAN WE NEED TO MAKE A MINION SINCE IT PUTS ITSELF ONTO THE BATTLEFIELD.In all seriousness, I don't know.I'm going with 2, 4 and 6. Though all the other's seem interesting, except the 3rd challenge.
Cheese, please make an Un'Goro card called Cookroach, that would fit too much on beast-ey Un'Goro's Jurassic Chef Award.
But for the love of god, people are definetively be against challenge #3. It restricts WAY too much the gang thing.
I'll miss Cogito beign mod T_TThe joke is you.
Excited to see how this pans out! As usual, I love to see you guys work, and you guys never fail to astound me! Good luck everyone!
(I made the challenges as the last thing I did before I quit being a mod, so you're still at the mercy at me. :P)
Heck yeah. So I thought about making Time Traveler a Kabal class, but now I'm thinking of maybe making my own crime family. I could use thepowrofcheese's Chronomancer class and something else. On to the challenges though:
Speaking of my Quest, I can't wait for you guys to see my Quest. Some will love it, some others will probably hate it, but I LOVE it.

Looks like my Apothecary is out. I'm surprised it did so poorly, but what can you do. My wife will be glad I'll be spending less time making cards! Congratulations to everyone who made it! I'll pop in now and then to give some feedback.
Currently working on the Tinker! K&C and WW / JUG and KotFT / Classic / Basic / Introduction
My Previous Classes: Apothecary (unfinished) / Chronomancer / Death Knight (old)
My Previous Expansions: Hallow's End
Voting 1, 4, 5 and 6, just to hope 2 and 3 don't win. I don't really like restricting the gangs like that honestly... I barely even know what 3 REALLY means as well. Other than that, glad to make it through and enraged that thepowerofcheese didn't and excited to continue working.
I just want to clarify Challenge #3 - "This Town Ain't Big Enough", since I anticipate questions about it.
When we ask you to counter an existing crime family, we are not expecting you to come up with a card with an effect like "Battlecry: Destroy a Jade Lotus minion." or "Discard all Potions in each deck." - although you certainly could do something like that.
We're expecting and accepting more interesting counters. As an example, we would accept cards like Weasel Tunneler or Beneath the Grounds as counters to the Kabal family, since they can counter the "If your deck has no duplicates..." effect. So long as you justify why your effect counters an existing family, it will likely be allowed.
And while I'm here, just to clarify for Demonxz95, "Patch 3.8.1.18.7.5" is specifically looking for Recruit and Recruit-like effects (although obviously non-keyworded), which was a minor theme in Mean Streets of Gadgetzan - Patches the Pirate, Madam Goya, Finja, the Flying Star and Dirty Rat.
You can find me here! Good luck everyone!
Limiting only one of 10 (9 + 1 custom class) to have that particular anti-gang card would mean that class would inherently have an advantage that no other class can have. That would skew winrates, especially when MSG would have been the latest expansion. Techs should and must be neutral, to allow all classes an equal fighting chance. Can you imagine if Skulking Geist was a class card? It would be horrible in arena, and would be the only class that could run a control deck against Jades.
Isn't challenge #2 kind of unfair for people who have a new crime family and have already fluff for it that doesn't fit with any eliminated class? And a challenge that doesn't include everyone is kind of dumb, no? Like it's already more work to make a new crime family and then you also get 'punished' for it. Feels actually unfair to me.

I made Shadow proud by only voting for #1.
Come Play Make the Keyword!!!
Check out my Worgen Class in the Class Competition
Voted 1, 4, 5, and 6.
Challenge 2 is cool, but since it only applies to some competitors and not to others, it feels a little unfair, especially by restricting only those who did go into the extra effort to make their own gang.
I feel like Challenge 3 could be interesting, but it'd have to be a really vague counter with lots of other uses in order for it to make sense as a class card, like 'Disable the next Battlecry' or something, which kinda defeats the point.
Why Rogue is my favourite class:
My submission for this week's card design competition.
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
rip.
Not surprised I ended up losing so badly here, considering all of the stuff I had going on i only really had 3 hours to do the entire submission. Hopefully during the next big comp I won't have so many bad things happening irl to bring me down, and I can use what I learned here. Comparing this comp to the last one I entered, I got a lot further, so who knows how far I can get next time ^-^ 14th place here is still fairly prestigious, I feel.
Still gonna be rooting for Demonxz95 to the end!
Sad that it's over before it properly came together but at least I can spend my time more productively now. Good luck to all and thanks to te few of you who did like my class.
You can find me here! Good luck everyone!
