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
Preview Phase
(Starts Now! Ends 21:00 UTC 22/03/18
During this Phase, the Discussion Topic is made available, previewing this week's competition theme.
Entry and Early Voting Phase
(Starts 21:00 UTC 22/03/18, Ends 21:00 UTC 26/03/18)
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 21:00 UTC 26/03/18. Ends 21:00 UTC 27/03/18)
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 21:00 UTC 27/03/18, Ends 21:00 UTC 28/03/18)
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:
Their card forever immortalized in our
Winners' Gallery
!
They will be allowed to select the next card design competition theme.
And a unique
Avatar Border
& "
Card Design Champion
" Title, as depicted below!

Good Luck! (and Watch Out for Spooky Card Reveals!)
Charge
+
Giant Sand Worm
would be broken of course, but that's where Rush fits perfectly because with Rush, it's actually a lot more balanced. Stated to have more survivability to use the effect whilst still maintaining enough strength to where the effect matters.
The idea of this card is to use it as both a
combo
activator as well as a source of increased damage in Rogue decks, specifically Malygos and Miracle builds.
Yes, this is technically a 0 mana board clear. But there are a couple drawbacks. The main two are that you will most likely lose your next turn. Secondly, you most likely will not have enough time to recast this so many times. In many scenarios simply casting Unstable evolution happens like 15 - 20 max times when it costs 0, and you run out of time. Well, in that case it is similar to volcano (except targeted).
Additionally,
Overload
synergy cards like Unbound Elemental won't be to overpowered because you need to be able to target an enemy minion and it doesn't have
charge
. (If only 5 health worth of enemy minions, can only cast 5 times).
Flavor Text
:
"The glamour of Gadgetzan was too much for half of the family"
It's Like a
Tundra Rhino
but the Echo version, the fisrts main Synergies are the
Jeweled Macaw
for a big value with a reloaded hand and the
Crackling Razormaw
for multiple adapats. Also it's a really good support for Quest Hunter (
The Marsh Queen
), giving the chance to: 1º finish the quest if you are struggling or 2º Cicle your deck a lot with just 1 or 2
Carnassa's Brood
if you already played
Queen Carnassa
.

Wished to be pink.
Then did.
Then fired myself.
Then did again.
Flavor : Adapt them enough times and they'll sell you auto-insurance
Strictly worse than Pterrordax Hatchling when played alone but ramps up in strength in the late game.
Charge + Giant Sand Worm would be broken of course, but that's where Rush fits perfectly because with Rush, it's actually a lot more balanced. Stated to have more survivability to use the effect whilst still maintaining enough strength to where the effect matters.

Flavor text: Rexxar tried to squish Masserda
Play: ”Massssssserda”
Attack: *Fast crawling*
Death: ”Hissss……”
It is a Hunter card and not a beast and for good reasons if you look at the combo potential it could have.
Me? Gongaga.
if you opponent no have control any minion,It can`t accack in first turn(or he will go face after second turn).
if you opponent have control 1 minion,It always go face.
Don't just hide behind a minion,They can always find you.
