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
Balance might be off for the Grim Patron Warrior meta, but I was trying to make a card that could work with the Warrior's BRM package, Axe Flinger and Revenge.
It's more restrictive than Frothing Berserker, costs 1 more and has 2 less Health, but she has +1 Attack starting out and gains +1/+1 instead of just Attack. That can be a big deal if you can get her rolling.

I wanted to try and incorporate Solemn Vigil and Dragon's Breath into a cycle, so I made these three cards. They're all really simple, just like the two I mentioned, and that's really the whole point of it. I couldn't come up with a better name for the Shaman spell, so I just copied the Dark Iron Arena Hero Power as a placeholder.
Now that I think of it, this probably won't work for the competition cus the cards are just not flashy enough.

I just got the same idea, but then I saw you already made this card. I think it will be more flavourful if you use the following art:
and name the card "Voracious Crowd" or something in those lines.
As for the design - I think it's ok, might be a bit too weak (I find Festeroot Hulk easier to buff). Can you imagine having no minions on the board and casting Bouncing Blade on your charger? :D This will survive the pointy blade and if your opponent has a minion on the board (even if it's Y'sera), yours will surely survive and will get buffed by a lot. Still, it will have only 2 Health and it's not problematic for a turn 7, 2-card combo, but I thought it's worth to mention it. Thank God, that Charge got nerf, otherwise it would enable gross combos with your card.
"Stop trying to make Dragon Paladin a thing. It's never going to be a thing." But if perhaps we go to the source, where Dragon Synergy truly began, and planted a seed alongside Dragon Consort, in the same vein as Wyrmrest Agent and Twilight Guardian...
The flavour is a Dark Iron Dwarf seeking some form of rebellion against the subservience to Ragnaros. As for the stats, it's not the same "2.5 -> 3.5 mana" that Blackwing Technician has, pretty much "2.5 -> 3," but Paladin can kinda get away with it given their Buff spells, and adding a "Gain +1 Attack" clause might start causing the text to shrink (even if you contract "you are" to "you're")
Also, technically, Lifesteal wasn't "a thing" until Knights of the Frozen Throne, but Mistress of Pain had the Lifesteal effect back in GvG, before it was codified, complete with that text. Soooo....
BB - Hammer of Twilight. Fight for the Booze - either a 3/3 (deal 1 damage to an enemy minion), a 2/2 (2 dmg), a 1/1 (3 damage) or a plain Shadow Bolt.
The idea is that you can recycle early game cards like Armorsmith as stronger minions. Also you have better recruit results. Btw, this is only an aura, so when it is killed, the minions returned to normal.
This is the Discussion Topic. The Submission Topic will go up in ~24 hours.
Competition Theme: Everyone, Get In Here!
This week's theme comes from Lathy, whose "Shipwrecked Buccaneer" was the winner of our Not So Neutral competition!

An old card which I didn't use. I just have to change the watermark if I use it.
Custom cards :
CLASSES : Alchemist (CCC#5 | Phase V) | Chef (CCC#4)
EXPANSIONS : Year of the Scorpion (Year Comp)
Mine are old cards I didn't use, too.
Didn't realise they look so similar (same rarity, same stats, both start with "Dark Iron")

Finally a Top-Down Design competition!
Am I allowed to use any pics from the uncollectable BrM adventure?
Blizzard used the same art from Pure Cold for Simulacrum.
Yeah, I guess that's fine.

Simplicity at its finest.
Allows Priest to go aggressive and control at the same time.

Forgot the rarity, but I wanted some thoughts on this card.
I figured an aggro hunter that can benefit from Baku's effect. Either this or make your next Hero Power cost (0).
For now I came up with this:
BB - Hammer of Twilight. Fight for the Booze - either a 3/3 (deal 1 damage to an enemy minion), a 2/2 (2 dmg), a 1/1 (3 damage) or a plain Shadow Bolt.

Any thoughts?

Uses the exact same artwork as Axe Flinger. A card from the same set, in the same class.

Submissions are now open!
You can find me here! Good luck everyone!
Feedback is welcome! If anyone has better art, feel free to share as well :)
Finding useable Dark Iron Dwarf artwork is tricky.
Still, I managed to get this put together instead:
Better?
