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
It's supposed to be like Griftah, where one person gets the Firelord and the other gets the Lightlord. Just to clarify for those not around at the time, Ragnaros, Lightlord is the class card.

Yes, but keep in mind that Kabal Courier and the like are not really Neutral cards. They are tri-class cards and count as class cards when you play them; we know this because they trigger the "Play X Warlock" type of gold-quests.

While the card is very flavorful, it's also very bad. No one wants to give a Ragnaros to their enemy, even if they get one too. Only super control decks could play this, but i doubt they would. Bad stats for the mana cost, no guarantee what you get, and you give the enemy a big threat. If you want to continue with this card, at least let the player choose what they get.
I find this card hilarious because Baited Arrow can trigger on itself. If that happens, you paid 5-mana for a 5/5 and a funny moment, which is pretty worth it in my opinion.

Pretty powerful, though not much so since your opponent knows about it. Seems alright.
Though the name "Mage Killer" is a off-sounding. I'd give it something more along the lines of Spellbreaker, since, acording to lore, they specialize in neutralizing magic.

Oh I know it's a bad card; I did it more for the flavor than anything, having both Ragnaros iterations on the table against each other. I almost made them summon immediately. I probably won't keep it.
I don't find the name of your card particularly engaging, but the effect is fine. It doesn't wow me, but the card is functional and would see use.

It's basically useless against the Priest or Warlock, but stealing an Aluneth or Woecleaver could be fun.

That's a Rogue card, and we're looking for Neutral cards. There are no Neutral weapons.

I got this one so far. A little rework of one of my earlier cards.
Nice flavour, though the power level might be a problem. It's really powerful being able to play a minion (a pirate, mind you) with a separate spell that can destroy all enemy secrets and draw you a card. If this were to exist it would cost more.
On the other hand, it's just a way more powerful Chief Inspector. Aside fromt he flavour, I don't really find it that different. Though, that's just me.
@Lathy I like it. The stats feel a little weird though, especially for a pirate. I usually think of them as more aggresively statted, but the flavor is great.
Out of curiousity, Where do you get card art from?
Google, namely, or a similar location where you just search for whatever you can think of. Sometimes you can allocate an image from the original Warcraft TCG; otherwise, you just have to find art that could be appropriate.

This theme is hard, man. The best I can think of is stuff like this. And it's not very good.
Do effects like Kabal Courier count?
Yes, but keep in mind that Kabal Courier and the like are not really Neutral cards. They are tri-class cards and count as class cards when you play them; we know this because they trigger the "Play X Warlock" type of gold-quests.

First idea for now. I'll try some more after i finalize the big comp cards.
It's simple and i like it. It can be a better Ironbeak Owl, if you can trigger the deathrattle.

Pretty tough theme considering the amount of class cards there are.
I find this card hilarious because Baited Arrow can trigger on itself. If that happens, you paid 5-mana for a 5/5 and a funny moment, which is pretty worth it in my opinion.

Cool theme. I like it.
I thought of something else:
