This week's theme comes from DestroyerR, whose "Mad Librarian Mibbilus" was the winner of our A Spot of Greed competition!
Competition-Specific Restrictions:
You must make a Warlock card from The Boomsday Project with mathematical flavor.
In The Boomsday Project, each class is connected to a specific science: the Druid has Biology, the Mage has Astromony, etc. Originally, the Warlock was going to have Mathematics as its special thing, so we're bringing it back!
Competition Process
Preview Phase (Starts Now! Ends 21:00 UTC 28/2/2019) During this Phase, the Discussion Topic is made available, previewing this week's competition theme. Entry and Early Voting Phase (Starts 21:00 UTC 28/2/2019, Ends 21:00 UTC 4/3/2019) During this Phase, the Submission Topic is made available for your submissions. You may also, of course, feel free to give early up-votes to any submissions that you like! Voting Phase (Starts 21:00 UTC 4/3/2019, Ends 21:00 UTC 5/3/2019) 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! Final Phase (Starts 21:00 UTC 5/3/2019, Ends 21:00 UTC 6/3/2019) 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
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
My thoughts: "I'm pretty confident, getting good responses. Maybe I actually WILL post on page 1 this time..."
Bad choice.
This feels like a prompt Cogito would've came up with. I also love the prompt name. For those of you who don't know, "Soh Cah Toa" are the three main functions in trigonometry, Sine, Cosine, and Tangent. Soh refers to "Opposite over Hypotanuse", Cah refers to "Adjacent over Hypotanuse", and Toa refers to "Opposite over Adjacent".

Flavor Text: This is the demon that never ends, it goes on and on my friend.
Wanted Pi to go on forever and start with 3 mana as does Pi. A variant I thought of is maybe it just sends it into your opponent's deck first then it involves counter play if they decided to give it back into yours.
Kinda rushed this one out, will change the 2 in the text to "two" on the submission topic
How about this? Not sold on the artwork, and most of the time the boosts will either be +1 or +2 (unless you target a minion with 7 or more, then you go to eleven)
Edit: A new card with similar theme that makes more sense gameplay-wise. It discovers cards that cost 2, 3, 5 or 7.
Really nice theme going this week. Here are the first three ideas that popped into my mind. Couldn't find any good art with a quick research so I'll have to work on that later.
CheeseEtc One last spam. Although I find your card to be perfectly designed, there is one little thing that makes it busted. And as ridiculous as it sounds that's the "destroy your deck" drawback and the existence of Mecha'thun warlock. Picture it this way - you gather the needed combo pieces, you clear the board and on your next turn (or on the same if you already discounted Mecha'thun) you win. Warlocks would be able to finish the combo as early as turn 10 or 9 with The Coin. I don't know what to say in this regard, since any change to your card might hurt its flavour, but I wanted to let you know.
AngryChickenAhm, would it be too broken to make the spell cost 3? I know gaining life is powerful in warlock, but since the effect is only temporary and you need to have a board beforehand, I personally think that the spell would be fine @ 3.
Wailor Cool idea, but I would increase your minion's stats a bit. A 4 mana 3/2 that gives +1/+1 or +2/+2 is a bit weak. Why don't you make it a 3/3? Cryptography is also a nice card, but as a warlock main I wouldn't put it in my decks, because the outcome is too random.
Sweet Tooth is Dr. Boom's personal chef, created from a horrible science experiment gone wrong (or maybe it was gone right and that was intention). This is why he just sticks to bombs. The food you eat at Boomsday Lab has gotta come from somewhere, right? That's where he comes in. He has mathematical flavor with pi, 3.14 (I know Christmas cake isn't pie, but you've got to make compromises somewhere), and that he gives stats to cards in your hand. Nice joke, and nice flavor (no pun intended) to go with the handbuffing theme Warlock got.
Scientist of Infinity is just a dumb card I couldn't resist. Hilarious if you combine it with Crazed Alchemist. Infinite Health! Then you can probably Sunfury Protector. Infinite Health Taunt! Okay, that sounds broken. You'd need hard removal.

My first idea at the moment; I'll keep brain-storming:
When Magnus Prime dies he explodes, taking everyone with him...or maybe not. It's a potential board-wipe, but it could end up being both sides simultaneously.

The thing that tips this combo over the edge is that it can be done in a single turn lel. Eat your heart out, Voidlord, I'm gonna create an infinite-Taunt minion for 9 instead.

Flavor problem. In traditional theory, 1 is not a prime number.

Yeah, I thought about it as I was writing it, but I couldn't resist posting it. Probably not going to go with it.

My first idea. (Just realised I am missing the Beast tag.)
Wording is based on Cave Hydra, but still feels a little clunky. Do you think the stats are okay for the effect? I am not sure if it is more of a benefit or a downside, or straight even.
I like the idea of Sweet Tooth since it works with current handbuff mechanics and Hi'reek, make sure to put the demon tribal on the card for the submission thread.

Did you make this card before or you came up with it just now?
Just now. Why?
Custom cards :
CLASSES : Alchemist (CCC#5 | Phase V) | Chef (CCC#4)
EXPANSIONS : Year of the Scorpion (Year Comp)
The art is a WIP but this is the very first thing I came up with...
It gives the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th minion on both sides of the battlefield Lifesteal this turn.
Nothing. I just admire how fast you came up with this idea. Don't want to sound like a downer, but I think we already have our winner here.
How about this? Not sold on the artwork, and most of the time the boosts will either be +1 or +2 (unless you target a minion with 7 or more, then you go to eleven)
Edit: A new card with similar theme that makes more sense gameplay-wise. It discovers cards that cost 2, 3, 5 or 7.
Oh, actualy i pretty like math, so i must win this comp.

True, I wasn't paying attention when I included the one. Removing it definitely makes the Deathrattle more reliably-potent.
