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.

I am a finalist in this Class Creation Competition, so if you could give it a look I would be greatly appreciative <3
Here's my first idea. Still figuring out how to properly balance everything, but I like the idea of a minion who has a unique benefit from Bananas as opposed to other buff cards. Let me know if you think of a class that this would go well with, as Monk isn't a viable option to my knowledge and I'm not sure if I should try to fit it into a class or keep it neutral. let me know balance ideas as well, as this could be OP if I'm not careful, but I don't want to make it weak either.
@whatTheHeck I think it's fine as a card, but I'd personally change up the flavor. A spell is generally an action, so I'd put a person in there and call it something like "Explore the Unknown" or some other verb variant of what you are going for. Just my idea though.
Only took a while, but I'm actually quite happy with this idea.
If you're familiar with the Khajiit Caravans from Skyrim, this is much the same flavor I was trying to get at here.
My main concern here is that I'm not sure if the artwork could possible be centered better. The full artwork is in the spoiler. I was trying to focus mostly on the goblin.

Not sure which class to give this card to. Druid would have the control shell to run it but Hunter fit so well.
I'm not going to accuse you of ripping me off, but I made this card a couple weeks ago. Ended up submitting my Nozdormu Scheme instead. It's a simple idea, so its totally fair that you'd have come to it on your own. 'Low Hanging Fruit' seems like an apt pun!
this is my thought. surprisingly, there isn't much hozen or banana art so i decided to use some pre-existing art and make my own custom art with it :P. it's basically whirlwind but deals at least 2 (also loatheb increases the minimum to 12) and can get stronger with more bananas.
I love the custom art! I think that's a real advantage to have, its silly and fun! But I don't like the card text. Banana cards are kind of silly, you've got silly art, the card effect should be more playful and simple. Maybe just "Cast a Banana spell on every minion"?
Here are my ideas. Banana Crawler is maybe actually a decent card. Totally Bananas! is maybe good? probably not great. Spooky Banana is just silly and stupid.
Banana Crawler is a simple, flavorful Hunter card. Spooky Banana fits with Warlock disruption, but might fit better on a minion instead of just a spell with no other effect. Totally Bananas should probably cost 2 or more. The empty hand is a big requirement, but you can get a LOT of power out of a hand full of bananas.
Here’s my initial idea. He eats all the Bananas, so running him with Mukla is a good idea. If you have two of them, the one that’s been on the battlefield the longest gets the bananas.

I vaguely remember someone making Banana Crawler, only with a Battlecry instead of a Deathrattle. I don't remember if it won anything, but I remember it being made and myself giving feedback on it. I say you can probably make it a Battlecry. I quite liked that card, and I quite like this card too.
Is Spooky Banana intended to be upgradable in some way? If not, then it should say "a" instead of "1".
A spell that only has a conditional effect is something I'm not particularly fond of, but the effect of Totally Bananas is interesting.

Some people might be off-put by the flavor wording, and the effect may sometimes be a downside if you use it with something like Banana Buffoon. Not very many cards can add Bananas to a player's hand anyway, although the same thing could be said about Heistbaron Togwaggle.

I'm probably going to go with this alternative to the infamous The Caverns Below. It also has some synergy with bounce effects, but the reward is control-oriented and fits more with Rogue botanic theme within Un'goro.
Also, just saw @Wailor’s card and it’s pretty similar to mine. I didn’t copy, but I might go with one of the other two ideas just to not make it awkward

"Nobody explored the jungle in Dalaran. Because it doesn't exist."
Thoughts? I think it's a kinda better Razor slash but not sure if too OP.

some more thoughts. i think blessing of bananas or bananic might might be my choice.
@Demonxz95
Thanks for the feedback. I’m assuming if this card was added to the game, one or more Banana generators would be added as well.
Here’s a slightly better worded version, and a Grimy Goons themes submission for a pot dealer.

Not sure if 4 is the right number, though.
