Your card does not have to be a Legendary (although that might make the most sense).
No in-game example exists, so how you proceed is up to you!
Competition Process
Preview Phase (Starts Now! Ends 21:00 UTC 13/9/2018). During this Phase, the Discussion Topic is made available, previewing this week's competition theme.

Voting Phase (Starts 21:00 UTC 17/9/2018, Ends 21:00 UTC 18/9/2018) During this Phase, the Submission Topic will be locked, so no more entries may be submitted.

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.

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
This is going to be a challenging theme to keep one's card powerful but balanced. You have all nine classes to contend with, and any of them could push one's idea into "way too OP" territory. Dead Man's Hand, for example, or Valeera the Hollow's Shadow Reflection tokens.
Edit: I wanted to translate my Desperate Rewind Mage spell into a Neutral card, but I'm really concerned with the aforementioned DMH. Even if I jack up the price, Warrior could keep shuffling copies into their deck for seemingly-infinite Health. The second iteration gets around that problem, but I don't know if I like it as much. I chose 8 for the cost and time-limit because an 8 looks like an hourglass heh

Lol this isn't much serious. Anyway, would you ever upvpte it?
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
"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..."
The problem is that Preparation is going to make almost every spell with a high mana cost better for rogue. I hope it's okay to ignore that fact and just create something cool.
EDIT: The "Hero Power" I aim is the starting one of each hero. That means DK / Baku hero powers don't interact with this card. Maybe Genn's hero power interacts by becoming a 2 mana upgraded one.
My idea is for a card that transforms when it's in your hand into an effect that lines up with the class you're playing, but is still comparable. Gonna workshop it a bit.
This is the Discussion Topic. The Submission Topic is here.

Can this spell be generated by something, or does it have to be a spell you include in your deck?
What do you think? (I need to know if the effect is clear enough)
Like Change of hearths, but in your deck.
Flavor text 1 :"Thanks for your Lich King bro...enjoy your radiant and beautiful weasel"
Flavor text 2: "We call it black magic, but some people is still traying to name it a DIRTY spell"
This must be a neutral spell you would include in your deck. Such a card has never existed, so it'll be interesting to see what people come up with.
You can find me here! Good luck everyone!

Damn, i guess my neutral quest would have been way better here XD
Hi i'm Tyler and I play hearthstone and watch anime.
Sometimes i make cards. I'd like to do that for a career one day if ever possible.
not legendary, at least make an EPIC joke Kappa
Edit: ok mine was even worse, i know where is the door

simple, efective, i asume that does nothing when you already have your hero power ungraded which doesn't hurt baku and justicar, i like it
Simple and flavorful. Well done.
EDIT: I wouldn't bold Hero Power though. That's not standard texting.
Not sure about name, art or cost. Is this any "fun" ?
My idea for this week:
(Deathwing, Nozdormu, Alexstrasza, Malygos, Ysera)

For the panda one the coices are supposed to be between Alliance and Horde because pandas are neutral. I'll make the choice cards if people like it.
So, I'm not too sure on the bonus effects. But this might be the card. (Your class appears as a tribe down in the spell.)
