Discussion Topic Rules
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?
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.

There's gonna be a lot of quests this week. Anyway may as well start the ball rolling with a couple ideas I came up with, and as always; will provide feedback for feedback and on interesting cards that come in.
Minor Infestation (1) - Deal 1 damage. Summon a 1/1 minion. Gain 1 armor. Both players draw a card.
No. Just...no.

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
You guys can pack it in, 'cause I have the winner right here:
Actually I'm thinking about going with this:
It's Blessing of Might but in Secret form, a surprise counter-move when the opponent tries to clear out one of your minions. It pairs best with a Taunt, letting them punch-up in a way that wasn't expected. Would also go great with Paragon of Light.

I prefer Divine Bubble the most: the Ice Block for minions. While it would turn off Taunt for the rest of the turn, keeping the minion alive opens up the chance to heal it back to full via Holy Light, Ragnaros, Lightlord, or something of that ilk.
As for the other two, the Priest has too many copy + revive effects as it is, and giving your hero Stealth is worth more than 1-mana. There's a reason the Valeera Hero card costs 9, and it's not just because of the Hero Power.
With no qualifiers, there are a crazy amount of options this can provide. Considering that Discover effects try to weigh at least one of the options in favor of the class, I'm concerned about the kinds of Shaman cards you could Discover and give Echo; Snowfury Giant comes to mind. The strength of the card is balanced by its randomness, but whether or not that's a good thing is hard to say.
That's Flash Heal with a very-specific add on. Considering that Demons are a Warlock specialty, this is a niche tech class card that is also rudely targeting one class in particular. Not a fan :/

Does anyone know which fonts the cards use and where to get them, thanks.
The best way to create fan cards is to use this website: http://hearthcards.net/ It's fairly intuitive and they do most of the work for you, to make the card look Hearthstone-appropriate.

Notes: Hunted will apply permanent stealth (think dungeon run) on a 1-drop. Broken? Probably. Mighty Leap! ignores taunts and allows a minion to attack twice. Drunk is fairly straightforward.

Competition Theme: Literally Just A 1-Cost Spell.
This week's theme comes from Phoenixfeather (Me!), whose Pacifist's War was the winner of our Decked Out competition!

Wished to be pink.

Meaningless Side Quest: Of the 89 1-Cost spells, 88 are listed. Which collectible 1-Cost card is missing from the examples?

[edit] Ok, thx for the feedback. I'm going to design something else and I will post those ideas instead.
