Hey there guys, a quick - and hopefully pleasant? - update for you all.
When looking over the number of entries, we came to the conclusion that there isn't really a need to cut anyone from this first round. In past competitions, when we had over 200 entries (I think that was our second CCC?) it made sense to start whittling down the numbers early on, because otherwise the competition would be just too cumbersome. However, the amount of entries we have now wouldn't, I think, be too much to take into Phase II, so we won't be cutting anyone from Phase I. Bolding that for anyone who just wants to skim this.
Now, what does this mean for the 'voting phase' portion of Phase I? Well, we're just going to remove that completely, and extend submissions to Wednesday instead. This'll allow any stragglers a chance to enter should they wish, and also let everyone who has already entered edit their submissions should they wish to - your submission does still need to follow all the rules by the time entry closes on Wednesday, or you will be DQed.
In the future, it is likely we will take this measure again for Phase I of competitions unless we get back into incredibly large numbers of submissions. We're always looking for ways to improve these and let everyone have the most fun, and taking a larger number of people through to Phase II seems like a really easy way to do that without giving us too much work.
Remember, Challenges will return for Phase II, so even if you think you have your Basic Set complete, be ready to make changes as needed. Hope you're all enjoying the return of the CCC and WCDC!

Question regarding the extension.
The longer submission phases in this competition were designed so that the end of this Big Comp would coincide with the end of season 9, but if this phase is getting extended, does that mean future phases will be shortened so that they will still both end at the same time? If that is the case, how are the phase shortenings adjudicated? Is one phase simply going to lose 3 days, or are multiple phases going to lose 1 day?

Well, this is nice. Gives me time to write my submission in a nice way (it would've been kinda rushed and choppy otherwise). Anyone can tell me how to format my submission, with different columns for the cards and such?

This Phase is sort of cannibalising itself, I guess. Instead of submissions ending in ~2 hours, and then having three days of upvoting before Phase II, the unnecessary upvoting stage is removed and submissions will be extended for those three days. So Phase I will still be the same total length. Other Phases will be unaffected.
we won't be cutting anyone from Phase I. Bolding that for anyone who just wants to skim this.
Even invalid entries?
No, entries that should be DQ'd will still be eliminated. "If you follow the rules, you're fine" is the name of the game here.

I am a finalist in this Class Creation Competition, so if you could give it a look I would be greatly appreciative <3
Ok so since their is no competition per se this time around and I kinda rushed my entry because of time issues, I would love some feedback on the cards and class in general :
Hero and Hero Power
So racial variety is always good, right ? Well I made this character up since I didn't have much time, don't know much about Warcraft and found this beautifull artwork. The name means "Good blood" in ancient greek (didn't really knew which language I should have borrowed from but I quite happy with this name). The Hero Power was designed as somewhat weaker than other basic hero powers but with some interesting interactions and flexibility.
Unique Keyword
Always loved Enrage and aura effects in general. I like it tho it might not be the most flexible keyword. I think I'll use it mostly in the basic and classic sets and then maybe one or two cards each expansion and it should be interesting.
Cards
The class will be pretty minion-heavy, focusing on taking the board and keeping it. I like the selection and the effects but maybe the wording or balance are off since I made these quickly.
If your looking for more details and/or lore, go to the submission pool (and maybe drop a like, I would very much appreciate it) where it explained all of it with some flavor text mixed in.
Very happy to go to the next Phase, hope to do my best in this competition.
Managed to submit it last minute and hadn't had much time to talk here due to diploma exams and 3 finals this week. So I rushed it and submitted it only to find that there's an extension. Joy...
But ye! Congrats to everyone who worked on their classes and produced some pretty darn good creations. Seriously, the quality is top-notch this round :3. I wished I could participate more in this thread (stupid examinations >w>).
Anywho, this is probably too late, but if anyone would like to comment on class, that would be appreciated. :D

Journey to Un'Goro: Elementals with last turn synergy (Mage is an elemental class; e.g. Steam Surger), Beasts with Adapt (Druid is a Dino class; e.g. Verdant Longneck), or other (e.g. Plants like Rogue or a combination of Elementals and Beasts like Warlock)
The Boomsday Project: Scientific Field with respective head scientist as Legendary (e.g. Mage's Astronomy Head Scientist Stargazer Luna)
Rastakhan's Rumble: Loa/Animal Spirit (e.g. Shaman's Loa Krag'wa, the Frog)
How many people will advance to phase 3? Can this happen again next stage if there are still not enough entries?
We don't have an answer to that right now. Our usual tactic is take a percentage of the total number of submissions, meaning we won't know how many can proceed forward until we know how many people are participating.
