This week's theme comes from Hieii , whose "Pi-Rat" was the winner of our We've Pun It Now competition!
Competition-Specific Restrictions :
You must make a card that costs 11 or more mana.
Your card must be able to be played/equipped/summoned/cast without external cost reduction effects; that means you cannot rely on the likes of Preparation , Aviana , Ebon Dragonsmith , etc. to combo your card with.
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.
A Note on Group Submissions: if you team up with other people to submit an entry, you must enclose that information in your submission and none of you may upvote that entry. That would be considered an unfair advantage and we will treat it as vote-manipulation. You are technically voting for yourself, and that is not allowed. Failing to tell us you're in a group is also against the rules, as we'll have no choice but to assume that you withheld the information to ghost-vote your group's submission.
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 6/9/2018 During this Phase, the Discussion Topic is made available, previewing this week's competition theme. Entry and Early Voting Phase (Starts 21:00 UTC 6/9/2018, Ends 21:00 UTC 10/9/2018) 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 10/9/2018, Ends 21:00 UTC 11/9/2018) 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 11/9/2018, Ends 21:00 UTC 12/9/2018) 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!

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
"The flow of time is always cruel... its speed seems different for each person, but no one can change it... A thing that does not change with time is a memory of younger days..."
Basically it is like a wisp or tinyfin. But this one is an Elemental. Additionally, it has the side benefits of big card in your deck for synergies such as Holy Wrath or Jousting. Other features may help in the future too. Additionally, since this is a 13 mana card (and there are no 14 mana cards, evolve will not change this minion). Beware when evolving your 12 drops though! Side note: Cards like Mana Wraith which increase minion cost will still have this card cost 0.
Therazane, the Earthmother
, is quite a whopper of an independent female elemental demigod avatar, so she also has quite an impact on both player's resource supply. (
wowwiki
)
Mechanicwise you always spend your opponent's Mana Crystals first. If your opponent has e.g. 10 full Mana Crystals, you just pay 2 of your own to play
Therazane
. So normally the earliest she can be played is turn 6, if your opponent doesn't do anything with their Mana, which is pretty rare. Her
Overload
can be useful to stall the game or counter combo plays
(e.g. if you know that
Mecha'thun
is comming next turn). If she gets Grumbled, her stone belly can rock the battlefield multiple turns delaying your opponent even more (or even lock both players for all 10 Mana Crystals). Your opponent's Mana Crystals will be available again sooner than yours but the tempo of a cheap 8/8 and being able to plan for your
Overloaded
turn should be a worth compensation.
Therazane
pushes
Snowfury Giant
's
playability a lot for a strong late game (but only reduces its Cost by (5) since this is what
you
get
Overloaded
for). With all that she might find a comfortable place in a Control Shaman deck.
When you catch your opponent leaving you enough Mana open, a combo could be:
Now your opponent is locked for an entire turn and you have a massive board of big Elementals.
(If you can squeeze in a
Lava Shock
,
Eternal Sentinel
or
Spirit Echo
even better.)
Flavor:
"That's the price you pay. Leave behind your heartache, cast away"
Fits a Machine-Gun style of priest. Goes with
Dragon Soul
like PB&J
"I dream of Dragons"
You can benefit with it by having this dump dragons in the midgame while you reduce the cost of
Imagine Dragons
, then reload your hand with very nice Wild Dragons such as
Nefarian
and
Deathwing, Dragonlord
to hold the lategame.
Downsides:
Your opponent can bring your hero's health down to a dangerous level such that you can't play it but the next time it swaps with Magtheridon's cost, it threatens lethal.
A potention more powerful
Twisting Nether
with enough friendly minions on the board. The silence is both a positive and negative. Stops your own deathrattle minions but if you can summon a bunch of throw away tokens it can be very powerful.
This is the Submission Topic. The Discussion Topic is here.

A mother is always protecting her child. Her strength grows with the challenge. The more danger to her kid the more power she can bring up.
And protecting mothers are epic!
I want a new title, but Flux won't let me have one,
Fluid for the Hand Druid!
Mountain Giant as reference.
Flavor text: "He is hard-working to become a giant. Hard like a mountain."
He has synergy with evolve of course because he will ALWAYS become a Mountain Giant . Also it works well with elementals and the joust mechanic.
"The flow of time is always cruel... its speed seems different for each person, but no one can change it... A thing that does not change with time is a memory of younger days..."
It's time to make such an epic character as Illidan a playable card!
You can't stop the signal.

Been a while since i entered. Good luck have fun everyone. Edit: Took a few tries to get that picture in. Man it has been a while.
