Competition-Specific Restrictions:
You must make a card that generates or has synergy with Spare Parts, the mechanic from Goblins vs Gnomes.
Your card is from The Boomsday Project, so you are free to utilize mechanics and themes that came after GvG. Assume that there are other Spare Part cards in TBP, as necessary for synergy purposes.
NOTE: Mini-Competitions have very different time-tables than our normal competitions, so please pay attention so that you're not caught off-guard!
Entry Phase and Early Voting (Starts Now! Ends 22:00 UTC 26/11/2018) It is during this Phase that you may submit entries to the Submission Topic. You may also, of course, feel free to give early up-votes to any submissions that you like! Note that this is only 24 hours! Voting Phase (Starts 21:00 UTC 27/11/2018, Ends 22:00 UTC 27/11/2018 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! Note that this phase only lasts for 1 Hour. Final Phase (Starts 22:00 UTC 27/11/2018, Ends 21:00 UTC 28/11/2018) 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!
Discussion Topic Rules
Hello everybody! This topic is for discussion of our "Some Assembly Required" mini-competition. 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.
So, without further ado, have fun and get creating!
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
I really like it: it's similar to Unbound Elemental in providing you a benefit from Overloading, but instead of stats you can hold onto the Spare Parts for later usage. I don't mind the Elemental direction the Shaman went in The Boomsday Project, but it would have been neat to see a return of Mech Shaman. My only very-minor complaint is that the text would look better if Mana was on the final row.

Thanks for the feedback! And believe me, I would organize the text better if I could :(

I put line-breaks in the text when I want words to be spaced in the box in a specific way. Hit Enter before "Mana" to force it onto the next row, like so:

Works well with the board-flooding tendencies of paladin
Not-very-op card generation/pseudo card draw
I think it's neat, although we both made mass-generators for the Paladin so the overlap knocks it in my opinion. Not your fault; let's call it a rivalry or something similar lel
So I realize this is a very weird weapon thematically, but I think it works. Think of it like Tentacles for Arms and it doesn't seem far-fetched.
I think it fits completely fine with The Boomsday Project in terms of thematics, throwing together some ramshackle piece of weaponry from the junk lying around. My main concern is the potential it has if the theoretical Spare Part-generators provide enough for the +1/+1 to get out of hand. A 7/8 weapon is pretty ridiculous, even with the setup required lol.
Not a deal-breaker for me, though; I like the inherent idea behind well enough to look past that.
This can be used to mill your opponent or to fuel miracles. I'm thinking the mana cost might be to low...
Preparation ruins everything :/ I'm pretty sure Captain Hooktusk costs so much because they don't want us to combo her with Prep + Cannon Barrage. Anyway, I despise Mill with a passion, so...yeah. 0/5 :P No but seriously I think it's fine after the potential cost increase.
...I don't know what it is about Spare Parts that I like so much, but I think you can tell that I chose the theme heh

always liked this chap as a character and would like if they made better use of him as a Hs card.
The text looks very weird. It's up really high and smaller than it should be. It should looks like this (or maybe you might add a line-break somewhere):
(Hearthcards URL, but let's be honest, it doesn't matter in this instance)
Beyond that, I have trouble understanding what this means. Does it mean that minions with Spare Parts (so, Clockwork Gnome or Mechanical Yeti for example) can be Magnetic to all Mechs? Magnetic Mechs can already magnetize themselves to all Mechs anyway, just not the other way around. Then you realize Toshley is not a Mech, so it doesn't make sense for him to magnetize to anything.

yeah, i know about the text... it kept pinging about and i couldn't get it to sit where i wanted :/.
oh, i thought it was clear: i meant spare parts 'attached'. only works with Rusty Horn, Whirling Blades or Armor Plating (actually Reversing Switch too, so has some variance. hmm... the otk potential i realise is there...you could add multiple mechs after a spare part to any minion, but still i think the cost of the build around might offset. You could also, however, reduce the cost of mechs with mech warper etc which might send it to some pretty high burst.
Thanks for the feedback! And believe me, I would organize the text better if I could :(
I put line-breaks in the text when I want words to be spaced in the box in a specific way. Hit Enter before "Mana" to force it onto the next row, like so:
Hadn’t thought about that, thanks! As for your card, it should probably be “Fill your hand with Rusty Horns.” If that’s too short, you could give an explanation: “Fill your hand with Rusty Horns. They give a minion Taunt when cast.” Or even “draw a card”

I like the latter part, explaining what they do. Not a bad idea to give people a refresher, considering how old they are (and the fact that I've name-dropped a card people won't likely know off-hand). I should edit that in. Edit: Here's the updated version:

I'm confused. When are entries due? Both threads have dates that this should have ended on Nov 28th?
Likely a copy-paste from another Mini-Comp without changing it.
Submissions are due at 5:00PM EST tommorow (about 17 hours and 10 minutes from when this is posted).
It is a copy-paste job, but I thought I fixed each of them :/ Demon is right, though: for Mini Comps you only have the one day to submit.

It seems balanced, considering Rogue already bullies control decks anyway. The miracle synergy is also pretty cool, so I don't think I'd change anything.

Rusty Horn gives out Taunt, which could synergize with Mechano-Egg...and pair perfectly with the general obnoxious vibe of Giggling Inventor, Annoy-o-Module, and Sir Annoy-O.

My first idea! Not sure on the art but it'll do for now lol.
Edit: I now realize the wording is pretty bad as I forgot to mention it's spare parts in your hand. I shall fix it!

Since I forgot to post my card here before going to the submission thread, I'll just do feedback.
Cool design, the art is a little weird though. I think it would also work better as a 4 mana 4/5, considering the synergy with Tinkertown Technician.
It seems balanced, considering Rogue already bullies control decks anyway. The miracle synergy is also pretty cool, so I don't think I'd change anything.
Unpopular opinion: Rogue is OP
