So... I did this thing... (vanilla minion = textless minion).
Well, it should probably say “textless”, since “vanilla” is an unofficial term. Also, I think Legendaries are not allowed?
Correct on both accounts.

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
could i get a ruling on if my bomb squad recruit would count? i'd rather use the time i have to make something new if it isn't.
It should be fine: you're doubling the presence of Goblin Bombs on the table.
However, I personally think you should rephrase the card or reinterpret what it means: it either should summon a copy of just your Bombs (rephrase), or it summons a copy of all Bombs but stays true to where they are on the table (reinterpret). So like if your opponent has three Bombs and you have one, your version would give you four new Bombs; that's technically doubling the amount of Bombs on the table, but realistically you quintupled the amount of Bombs you now have and gave nothing to your opponent. In that scenario, it should either just give you another Bomb (double your Bombs), or give you another Bomb and give your opponent three more Bombs (double all Bombs regardless of location).
Your card is technically fine as it is, but it certainly doesn't feel right, if that makes any sense. The doubling effect should just be for you or 100% objective, to truly feel like you're doubling "correctly".

actually it triggers all bombs so i get minions and they get free damage. i definitely see why it needs clarification.
Decided to go forward with Abscond for my submission this week. That said, I'm trying to find the right wording to get across its intended effect. Does this version work? (Secrets tend to be the exception when it comes to text shrinkage on official cards)
The wording should prevent activation during your turn like all good secrets (so killing their Loot Hoarder on your turn won't activate it, but them running their Loot Hoarder into one of your minions on their turn would), and also scale based on which method of card draw the opponent used (Power Word: Shield vs Northshire Cleric vs Aluneth)
Fixed! Open to feedback! @Lathy I really like the flavour... maybe a permanent effect instead of a Battlecry "Your Secrets trigger twice."?
I love this idea. Maybe it'll get people to start playing more vanilla minions. My biggest concern though would be Paladin using this on a buffed Silver Hand Recruit.

I don't feel like Faulty Cloning counts as truly doubling something: it's more of an even exchange, replacing what was lost.
I love Research Enhancement, except it's kind of scary: in most cases it'll be a 6-mana "double a mech's stats and Deathrattles" because the copy will combine with its original self.

Cursed Ogre is way too good. If he gets off a single attack, that's 20 damage to the enemy's face for 5 mana; you can counter with "well Taunts exist", but a deck that runs Cursed Ogre will plan for that contingency before they play him. Taking double damage also won't be much of an issue if a Priest plays Divine Spirit or a Paladin gives it Divine Shield to mitigate the problem. Cursed Ogre -> Blessed Champion is a two-card lethal combo, and Cursed Ogre -> Divine Spirit -> Inner Fire is a three card lethal combo.
I do like Master Hunter, though. I think the text could be worded a little more "properly", but it's fine as-is and I'm not 100% sure how best to phrase it anyway lel
Shadowy Apparition does not count for this theme: if it does manage to "double" something, it is by coincidence of the board's state and not the true intention of the card. Soul Rend isn't really doubling something, either: it's a 1-for-1 exchange. The minion dies and triggers its Deathrattle, reappearing on the enemy's side of the board; by the end of things, there's still only one of them on the board.
By default that means of the three you should go with Infusion of Fortitude. However, you misspelled "double" and you should rearrange the sentence: it should say "Whenever it attacks or is attacked, etc. etc."
Just to be clear and frank, we very-much hate when people post Golden cards: they are distracting and difficult to read properly. Please change it; if you submit this, we will delete the image.
I had these two card ideas in the back pocket. Does the spell count? Is the minion too strong, or interesting enough?
The idea of Abscond is that if your opponent plays Arcane Intellect, you get a copy of both cards. Excess Mana, just the one.
I feel like there has to be a better/cleaner way to phrase Abscond. Maybe something like "After your opponent triggers a draw effect"? The natural card draw at the start of your turn is not "triggered", so it wouldn't undermine the phrasing. As for whether or not it counts, I guess so,
Displacer Beast is tripling itself (the base card + "two copies") and would therefore not count for this competition. See:Doppelgangster, Omega Agent. We just want to double stuff :P
The proper phrasing for the Combo should say "Add a copy of it to your hand, as well." Regardless, this seems way too good. Part of what keeps the bouncing in check is that Youthful Brewmaster costs 2 on his own; cut that down to 1 and you've created a situation ripe for abuse. Not to mention the Combo's effect, which is laughably easy given the cost.
I'm currently planning to release my new custom expansion based around trolls, and this is one of the cards I wanted to show while also fulfilling the competition's requirements. I think this one is very interesting, because you can get more potential value from additional copies of your cards or get the card you probably need right now, but it's stuck on the bottom of your deck.
I hope this one counts. :)
While you technically achieved a doubling effect, the very temporary nature of said effect kind of undermines what we're looking for, in my opinion. I mean, 90-95% of your effect will erase itself at the end of the turn and never mean anything, perhaps even the full thing if you fail to pull one of the generated cards. Did you really double something, when you have basically no chance of actually seeing the full doubling effect work out in its entirety?
Not an official mod ruling, but it doesn't feel right to me :/
not sure wether or not to put the refund in your hand. also open to art sugestions (preferably a goblin or an orc exchanging coins)
It might be a lot simpler to have Refund say something like "Cancel the effect of 'The Price of Iron'", or "Your hero takes damage and gains Armor at a normal rate." Either-way, it should definitely go back into your hand: if Refund is placed at the bottom of your deck, you might have seriously screwed yourself.
I will just spam these and say wtt feedback for feedback. Thanks for your time.
The second card probably doesn't count, does it?
I think Cunning Trickster is my favorite because it's fairly simple but can also be quite powerful in its own right. You can play up its combo potential with Academic Espionage; you could even rephrase it to shuffle new copies into your deck for Augmented Elekk shenanigans.
High Moon would need to specify how it rounds the minion's Health, because you cannot halve an odd number into whole numbers. Including "rounded up/down" in parentheses and italicized like it's supposed to be might put you over the four line limit. Regardless of that, I'm not sure why a Druid would play High Moon: changing their stats at the end of the turn opens you up to being cleared, something Savage Roar doesn't have to contend with. High Moon could give you more than +2 Attack, but at quite the risk.
If you want Gnome Ghoul to keep the damage on itself for the copies, it should say "exact copy". Not sure if that's the intention, but either-way you don't need the word "second" in there.
Giving Tree would not count and Gift from Nature should be phrased like Healing Wave.
Haven't given much feedback, I know. But here's my second idea, this time not ripped from a class of mine. It's a new card.
I know it's a Wild card, but I would be concerned with how well this could combo with Ice Lance. Even then, two of these on the table and you've got a brand new Machine Gun Mage in Standard. Arcane Missiles and Frostbolt would inflict 12 damage a-piece; you could drop both of these and both Arcane Missiles with 10-mana and put C'Thun to shame.
Spell Damage is an extremely dangerous stat; if it weren't for Celestial Emissary and Cosmic Anomaly, I wouldn't even have advised you to give Jaina access to such SD in the first place lel. As it is, now that those two are available, I feel like your card would be relegated to just Quest Mage decks. They would play this and Time Warp together - with the usual mana-cheating methods like Sorcerer's Apprentice - to avoid risking the fragile body.
I think the best way to phrase it would be "Battlecry: Both players summon a copy of their Goblin Bombs. Then, trigger the Deathrattles." I would definitely not expand it to trigger *all* Deathrattles, 'cause then I would argue you're venturing into "Legendary in all but gem" territory.

Buffed Recruit? How bout a magnetic-buffed Upgradeable Framebot?

Nice design (Name-Art-Text) brother! But think of the nightmares... (wait, you are one of these Rogue, aren't you?)
The bouncier bouncy Rogues would bonce and bounce too much for my sanity (unless I get bouncy too, if you can't beat them:))
WOW, this was supposed to be a reply to the Mistystep Master by eScapegoat1270

this look better?
This is my current idea. I like the flavour, but it might be a bit boring/too strong?

How does this card do? I'm not sure whether having it double multiple times is fine, Thanks in advance!
Edit: Fixed it from being a minion to a spell.
I don't have something witty about this deck, I just like it because Malygos is fun.
I'm pretty sure this is supposed to be a spell, not a dormant minion.

Thank you very much for that, haven't really used hearthcards that much.

Which class fits it better? Who deserves it? Maybe for Warrior it doesn't have to be a legendary. I don't know, you guys tell me.
It has to be snakes.
I really like your idea.

Hot damn did I mess up the spoilers on all of those >_> It'll be a hassle to change it, so...yeah. Not going to fix them lel
Cleaned up my card's text, and provided a second iteration with the wordplay name.
It's not a typo, it's supposed to be clever :/ Conglomerate -> Con-golem-rate

Grammar change, should say double this minion's attack and health.
Grammar change, should say "When a minion is magnetized to this minion, magnetize an extra copy."
