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.

I have a pretty straight-forward idea to start out with; simple enough that I might actually submit on time! *facepalm*
Freeze Shaman support, obviously; would make for an expensive archetype, though. It's costed such that you can play Moorabi on curve immediately after.
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
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
Will provide feedback as more cards come in as usual, here's a couple ideas I came up with; PS Ashbury would be made to act similar to Dragon Consort in that it's effect stays over turns so you can play it on turn 6 and then be able to echo cast spells next turn and the same for minions
Updated because i'm an idiot and named Baron Ashbury after Lord Godfrey on accident
UPDATE: New idea on page 3 instead of this 1 for Baron Ashbury

Yes, you can resubmit a card you've entered into a contest before, so long as it hasn't won a contest before.
Does this qualify? Both keywords are here but probably not the way you expect
Even though I fully approve of your effort to support C'Thun, we're not going to allow people to merely reference the keywords this time around; the minion itself (or the weapon!) must have a Battlecry and a Deathrattle.
This is true, but all of the themes that were offered had been done before, and it was too late to ask for other options (we've all been rather busy lately :/ ). In fairness to the theme, the previous iteration was a year and a half ago, and multiple new Battlecry+Deathrattle cards have since been released.

Check your discord.
@THWeaver
I think that Tree of Ages may be the best among your submission, although none of them are particularly eye-catching. Alexstrasza, although very different, replaces the need for a large dragon that messes with health totals, and Voodoo Doll is too similar to Skeletal Executioner. Honestly, I think you should make some more card designs.
I've made a few ideas myself. Naturally, all of them are borderline insane.

i feel like boneguard is the only one that isn't over stated. especially baron ashbury.
OK so I have an idea. In short when you play the card you get a deathrattle, but when Kronk dies, you get a battlecry minion. However I'm a bit worried some may say this doesn't follow the 'orge' rule that is in hearthstone (50% of attacking wrong enemy). Anyway I like to hear what you think.

Grand ExplorerI've got a few ideas but can't make the actual cards until later.
*Saltscale Pilferer - 3 Mana 3/2 Neutral Murloc
Battlecry and Deathrattle: You and your opponent swap weapons.
*Void Researcher - 4 Mana 4/3 Warlock minion
Battlecry: Discover a card you discarded this game. Deathrattle: Discard a random card.
*Deathcry - 3 Mana Shaman Spell
Give your minions "Deathrattle: Trigger this minion's Battlecry (targets chosen randomly)".

Card Design ChampionWe've had this exact same theme before back in 2016.
https://www.hearthpwn.com/forums/hearthstone-general/fan-creations/169751-weekly-card-design-competition-4-07-final-poll
This was the card I made for it. Might re-use it, but I will think of something else.
Click the image to go to my custom Time Traveler class.
Not doing feedback yet - it's obviously way too soon - but some notes of clarification:

Card Design ChampionSo, in addition to Seductive Servant, I also made this card:
But I'm also thinking of taking this card from my Time Traveler class and submitting as a Neutral card.

Card Design ChampionOk, so this is what I have for the moment
This time I don't have that many cards that fit the theme in my folder. "Only" 5 (so only two other cards)! Here they are.
Alternatively, I could resubmit Exarch Jaraas from the comp demonx linked (which would now be a hero card and be called Grand Vizier Jarasum!).

This is a lot like the Librarian... but much stronger in terms of card potential. I guess it is what we need though.
Eternos is a card that I've always loved from your Class Creation Competition. I'd go with it, although you may want to change it to a Shaman or Mage class card.

Wished to be pink.
Then did.
Then fired myself.
Then did again.
Very similar to Darkspeaker, but has the potential to actually be good.
