Something generic is okay as long as it's clearly represented in the vanilla game. Ogrimmar was clearly in vanilla WoW, and there was a bank with NPCs that had the title of Banker, so that makes perfect sense. What doesn't make sense and I think may be a point of contention is that all of the Bankers in Ogrimmar in vanilla WoW were Orcs, not Goblins. The Goblin model did exist in vanilla WoW, but not for this purpose.

Thanks for clearing that up. I had an Orc initially, but was thrown off by the wiki who listed Goblins. I couldn't remember clearly from my vanilla WoW time. Replaced the artwork with the Orc again and submitted it (tho, I sent it to death because there was already an entry with 7 votes on Page 5 at the time I have submitted. Oh well).

Op or not? Should be for all classes?

@urbangrey: But why the reason? Why would occupy the board just for nothing?

@urbangrey: sorry man but i don't think this way, cannot be buffed, because it cannot attack and cannot be silenced, if has taunt it would be very op, becaus it never dies, the only good think i can see from it, is to up cards like sea giant, but anyway, it stills desnecessary in my opinion, the idea is good to create a different card, but i can't see this in the game.

Also, what is it with this competition and people accidentally quoting in the submission topic? This has never really happened on this scale before, so what's the deal( with airline food)?

Good question! Appears to be just a lot of first-timers who don't read the rules. It may start being more common now that I'm going to try to make sure the new competitions get promoted in the site news more consistently. If it continues being a serious problem, I'll start issuing actual penalties rather than just informal warnings as is my current practice.

Ok, here is a serious idea I came up with (as opposed to my Gamon card):

In Vanilla WoW, Korrak would occassionally spawn in the middle of Alterac Valley. You'd need a party to take him down, and there was a quest to do so. Since him spawning was kind of rare, when players heard his yell, they would drop what they were doing in the battleground and go try to kill him, ignoring all of the objectives. This is why everything has to target the card I came up with. Everyone drop what they're doing and tries to kill him. Including your side of the board. He acts like a super-taunt, but it's double-edged, because your characters can only attack him while he is alive, and you can't cast any targeted control spells. You can use him to protect minions, but for it to work, they'd have to be minions that give you a benefit even without attacking, like Mana Tide Totem.

I like it. I suppose it does justify the 6-attack on the 5 drop. The 'cannot gain Stealth' is necessary I suppose, but it's a bit clunky. I suppose you couldn't find any other art? It looks like a Gurubashi Berserker sort of.

@Belzzz I like the idea, would fit in Warrior well - but then again, it seems even slower than Cairne Bloodhoof, which isn't played anymore... I feel like Battlecry would be better?

@superoutman I like it, but I'm not sure how many people would vote for it. I really feel like people should be entering commons rares and epics rather than so many legendaries but it just doesn't seem like that gets votes...

Anyway, I've finally given in to what appears to be the legendary tendencies of the entrants...

Simone the Seductress on Wowpedia.

Simone was the subject of a Hunter quest where you had to face her on your own - if any other party members interfered, she would despawn and The Cleaner would spawn. The Cleaner was completely Immune to all damage, and hit for 4000 on a lvl 70 cloth wearer. This is meant to be a high-risk, high-reward play - requires some setup and possibly board control. The Cleaner can die to hard removal/BGH though in this instance, so it's balanced.

Thinking the Cleaner should be like a 4/1 or something, but it doesn't really matter because he's Immune. Silencing Simone basically ruins the play, also hard removal like Shadow Word: Pain, and Rend Blackhand - you basically HAVE to have board control or play it on turn 8 or 9 in order to trigger her for sure. She doesn't have Taunt, so your opponent isn't obligated to kill it. But then again you can activate it using Hellfire + Darkbomb or what have you. Any two damage sources activate the effect. I think it's pretty flavorful.

Well, figured I might repost this since no one seemed to notice it the first time and I'm still unsure about it.

Sorry if i did something illegal.

I like it, but it seems like the first Choose One effect is what will be chosen almost always... Either make that first choice less OP (Keeper of the Grove only does ONE silence...) or make the card cost 6 or somesuch. I do like it though!

That actually isn't even art. It's a screenshot of Korrak from the game. The only art I could find that showed the right kind of troll was Gurubashi Berserker Hearthstone art. I will try to find something better if I actually submit it. I thought it was probably necessary to say it can't be stealthed, or else people would think you could cheese it and just stall the game indefinitely. 

For you card, I think the Cleaner is way too powerful. it isn't that hard to activate the card yourself, and then you have an immune 6/5 for the rest of the game, which is pretty crazy. You could maybe give the Cleaner Immune while attacking only, or remove it entirely and lower the stats on the seductress. Otherwise it is really OP. All you have to do is hit it once yourself and it is guaranteed to activate, and there are just too many ways to do that.

P.S. I remember fighting Simone for my hunter quest. I kited her around the lake for like 20 minutes to kill her. This nostalgia is maybe why legendaries are getting upvoted so much.
