It is a combination of Fierce Monkey + 3 mana 5/5 legendary beast with the effect. I really like this idea so far but also worrying that it might be too powerful as a taunt even when it cannot attack. Also, I will be grateful if anyone can provide me with better art and name for this card.
Jungle Panther + 3 mana 5/4 rare beast with the effect. This card is inspired by the famous game Werewolves of Miller's Hollow. Basically a card with no downside if it is your only minion on the board, and you can still potentially minimize the lost by placing it well when you have other minions. The problem is that it might have a way too high attack as a stealth minion.
A short question just in case, we can put beasts from ANY class into our custom zombeasts, correct?
This round is simply mess. Maybe next time it want dubl check rules before anounce something. (It is not first time,) There really is not anybody who force reveal things imidiately.
I'm honestly not too sure what you're saying. All I could understand in your comment was this round is "messy", which I would like to refute by saying nobravery had a good idea and we mods executed it as best as we could. It was a complex contest, so it was hard to get all the bases covered at first. This is why I'm keeping an eye out before we open the submission topic as once the submissions open, the rules cannot change. If you don't like this week, you are welcome to skip voting, as I know you do not really make cards.
i mean from my point of view. It seems like this round was little bit rushed without proper control of rules. Yeah, sometimes something slip. By what i notice it is little bit often. And i suggest there should be more time before release of theme. (Something like make it sheduled, which would help give time to control what go out and still keep consistence in annoucing of comeptitions.) Then you would don't need this often change of rules after release.
Anyway, you don't need to said last sentence, as i already decided don't vote this round. But this information is totaly useless for anybody who read it, so i didn't wrote it before. And when i am in useless information to know... I will never participate, as i am not skilled enought in editing of pictures to be willing spending so much time just for sharing my idea. (And basic pictures for me really doesn't look good even if efect of card is ok,)
I think this is probably very unhealthy. We saw how dominant Missile Launcher + Venomizer was. This is 2 mana cheaper, has *permanent Stealth*. Absolutely not.
Its implied that this minion need to be created by the zombeast hero power or we simply create a card by the rules of hero power?
There is nothing we can do about that. We already have a schedule but nuances slip through anyways. We're not game developers, there is no time to test a contest topic. All the mods are always busy. We try to put aside time each week to get these releases on time and in an accurate fashion, but three us are in college or in university, while the fourth is married and has a family.
And you honestly make it sound like we're a mess all the time, changing rules left and right. We don't make the themes, the winners do, and therefore there needs to be communication between them and us, but sometimes, the intent doesn't always get through. It's not like we can just instantly think up of a contest.
I thank you for your attempt at constructive criticism, and will just leave it at that.
Nobravery's intention is to keep it as close to an actual zombeast as possible. Another user brought this up to me as well after I reviewed your card, so balance it with the use of the Hero Power in mind.
I was going to give up on this one after my cool design became invalid (because you need thesimple creature part, whereas my new creature + Weasel Tunneler were both in the complex category), but I just had an idea which I think could work - balance tweaking not withstanding.
Also potentially formatting - off the top of my head I can't think of too many cards that have a battlecry and a static ability, and how they're worded if so.
Anywho, it's Vicious Scalehide plus a new beast; a 5 mana 1/6 (yuck!) with a battlecry that boosts it attack. Possibly by a little, but potentially by a buttload. Ended up settling on 1/6 as it's playable - though quite bad - if you somehow manage to play it without having played a beast yet, or if it gets silenced. Because of cards like Unleash the Hounds and Swarm of Locusts, as well as Tundra Rhino I couldn't give it much base attack. In zombeast mode if it were combined with a charger it could well be a Pyroblast to the face, so it kind of had to be 1 attack base - and then you'd be rolling the dice on getting a charge with it or not (or running it + Tundra as a combo in your deck - quite strong, but probably no stronger than the Krush combos that were running around a couple metas ago). To balance around the potentially huge attack increase, this guy can only attack once - and then he dies. He gets his vengeance, and then he's gone.
With this particular combination, I feel like the new card synergised quite well with the Scalehide, as a potentially big heal + removal in hunter (and flavourful for hunter) for 7 mana.
Edit: in terms of balancing, I may also change it to include "can't attack heroes". That would basically solve everything, though I did like the potential of having it as a Pyroblast in the right circumstances.
I've realized my card cannot participate, since the Beast with short text was the custom one, and not the existing one as it should be.
That said, it received several criticism that it is OP, which left me wondering what is the power level supposed to be. I mean, Zombeasts allow to create a Charging Vicious Fledgling or a Poisonous Dreadscale, so I thought the point of the comp was to create OP stuff by combining two balanced cards.

Honestly, personally, I think it's fine if it's a bit OP at the top end of the zombeast possibilities. While I don't think Blizz would discount wild/zombeasts *completely* when designing new cards, I think they'd consider the possibility of combining two specific cards to be so small that they'd let something like your 1/1 rush reborn beast get through. It's also essentially a 6 mana "deal 1 damage twice and get two 3/2s" given that you can't get it without using the hero power, so when you think about it that way it may not even be OP at all.
Looking at the "simple text" beasts poll, I noticed what's probably considered the worst beast in the gam : Silverback Patriarch. So I thought I'd make it part of something special.
The custom beast I made is thus a 2 Mana 2/2 that reads "At the start of each turn, restore this minion to full Health." which sound balanced yet quite bad. Perfect ! I love the idea of 2 bad beasts making something strong together. What do you think ?
I'm still confused with the format of submissions. Should i add both beasts that make up the Zombeast ? Only the custom one ? Only the original one ?
This is a Vicious Scalehide mixed with a 2 mana 2/1 Reborn Beast (Vicious Scalehide and a big kitty had a baby!). It wasn't required to create a card for the second Beast right, only the end result?
Would a seahorse be considered a beast?
Bring your Holy Hand Grenade and never mix with a weasel
(Edit: Reread the rules... Need to rethink this...)
^Sharp Teeth could be Bold and just with a descriptor saying it’s actually Poisonous

Yes any beast.

Since zombeasts are tokens, I didn't specify a rarity, so here it goes, BEHOLD the super territorial OWLBEAR!
Ironbeak Owl + Raging Bear - a 4/4 Rare Hunter Beast that costs 4 with Rush and "Has Taunt and +2 Attack while damaged (see below if you're curious)
Duskboar + Naughty Chiken (1 mana 2/1)
"Some say that this is a Leeroy's chicken"
Solid combination, can easily trade 2-for-1.
A unique effect but on a really poorly statted body. It would be interesting to play this as Deathstalker Rexxar, though.
I'd advise you to find better art.
Submissions unlocked.

It wasn't required to create a card for the second Beast right, only the end result?
Thanks for feedback! However, I'd like to confirm the rules of this week. Here are my summaries:
1. Submit a combined beast, not a custom one.
2. It must be a Hunter card since it combined by Deathstalker Raxxar.
3. And give it a particular name, not Zombeast.
4. Card with two complex effect is not fit the Zombeast rules, but add a simple keyword to it could make it reasonable.
So…… am I right?
