Hearthpwn

(this is my first entry so yay!) Well, here goes nothing...

The new "Leader" class, with the hero...

Rose Quartz from Steven Universe! (I am a huge nerd, don't judge :P)

So, what does she do?

Well her class is designed around protecting and buffing up her minions, as she cares for all of them.

Her hero power is...

This fits well with her theme of protecting her minions, as well as her character and lore. The hero power may look unfair on paper, but remember, Hand of Protection has the same effect, but you can choose the target and it doesn't see that much play anyways, so this hero power fits well balance-wise.

Now for the cool part, cards!

First card here is: 

This card is probably really bad, but it can be used pretty well, as you can heal up a big taunt, and give it divine shield afterwards, providing huge protection to other minions. Also, this fits with the lore and story of the show as she has healing tears.

Speaking of taunt minions, here is the next card!

Here is the next card, a really simple card, but with your hero power, a ton of buffs, and Rose's Tear, these big health taunts can prove to be really valuable, and this card will probably be a staple in a lot of buffy control decks. There is not much story-wise with this one, but its a basic card, so it's more forgivable.

And finally, here's a legendary to top all this off (and I'm warning you, it's pretty insane.)

Yeah, pretty insane looking at it right? Well, Pearl, one of Rose's most trusted friends and partners, will literally die for Rose, but luckily gems can reform once they die, so if Rose inspires Pearl enough, she can stay in the fight and keep being helpful to Rose (Also balance-wise, the divine shield from the hero-power can target Pearl, meaning to make use of the deathrattle, you would need to trust Pearl either not to get divine shield, or have a way to ping off the shield.)

And also, "what's that new keyword at the end?", you may be wondering, well, that is the new Fusion mechanic! This mysterious new mechanic is really just a shortened saying for "At the end of each turn, if this minion and another minion (which is what the other names by the keyword are) are both at full health, destroy them both and summon a fused minion." What are fused minions you ask? Either upvote this so I can get to later rounds and show them off, or if you watch Steven Universe, you probably know what I mean by that.

 Well, that's the entry! I hope you guys enjoy! 

(EDIT HISTORY: CHANGED PEARL TO GIVE HER THE FUSE MECHANIC, AND ADDED EXPLANATION OF SAID MECHANIC. (Approved by Asylum_Rhapsody)

FIXED FORMATTING OF TEXT A BIT)

THE HERO

Introducing Shicchi of the Hero's Association from One Punch Man:

As one of the higher executives of the organization, Shicchi is responsible for organizing the highest level response teams for the highest level of monster threats. 

The Power:

The idea here is to create a theme of urgent hero response, which I will get into more at the end of my submission. Basically, the more helpless civilians there are on the battlefield, the faster heroes must deploy. I'm still on the fence about this hero power and if it makes sense, but hopefully it gets the gist of the new class across.

The Cards:

1st Card: Horsebone

Your generic low-ranked, C Class hero. This card example is more or less a proof-of-concept piece. Nothing too crazy here. You can already see the synergy with the Hero power. Turn 1, Horsebone, then Turn 2, either you play a 2-drop or you play your Hero power and then play another 1-drop Hero minion. Or, if you have the coin and the necessary hand, you can, on turn 1, Coin, Hero power, then throw down two Horsebones. Since I realize that this could potentially be an incredible tempo play, under the right circumstances, somewhat similar to T1 double Mana Wyrm, I limited Horsebone's attack to 1 only, especially since it also has Hero minion synergy.

Fortunately, since the OPM canon literature hasn't released the official abilities of a lot of their heroes, I have some creative license.

2nd Card: Threat Level: Dragon

An expensive draw engine that, when paired with a hero-heavy deck list, is rewarding as it creates the sense of heroes arriving "just on time" to deal with a Dragon-level threat.

I compared this card both to Nourish and Sprint, and here's why I think it's balanced:

1) Nourish also gives you the alternative option of gaining more Mana crystals, and is 1 Mana cheaper.

2) Sprint is only 1 Mana more expensive but lets you draw a whole other card, and also has incredible synergy with Preparation and Combo cards in the late game.

3) The resulting effect of Threat Level: Dragon is a bit random, but drawing 3 cards from a hero-focused deck list should give a significant chance to draw a Hero minion or two.

3rd Card: Mumen Rider

The hero that A-Z City needs, but not the one it deserves. The Hero Association's first class legendary. Designed to represent a normal, average hero who will defy all odds and keep fighting in the face of the most perilous evils. Because it doesn't matter if he stands a chance or not – what matters is that he has to fight here and now! 

Balance-wise, it's a glorified Goldshire Footman or Fierce Monkey at worst, and if you are lucky you might pull off a 3-Mana 4/5 Taunt with Hero synergy.

Summoned quote: Mumen Rider has arrived!

Attack quote: JUSTICE CRASH!

Summary

In short, I wanted to create a class based on one of my favorite anime/manga/comic series of all time. The theme I want to explore with this fan creation is the chaotic, dire need of heroic response. I tried to create this feeling by basing a class on unique draw engines, cost manipulation of specialty, reactive minions, and a CRAP ton of class-specific legendaries. But since most of these factors are going to depend on minions and board control and activity, this class will focus on intricate interactions between minions, minion positioning, and resources for both sides.

In the world of OPM, there seems to be a ton of art and room for creativity, and it is the perfect class to represent the ideal HERO.

Mermaid

"With my lovely voice, I take all the men on my path to meet the fury of the seas."

First of all, I mean I do not speak very good English, but I'll try.

Hero: Serena Morin

     The Mermaid Class is only focused on maritime and related topics. There is no letter for this class without any relation to the place where Serena Morin came. As everything is based on water, the Heroic Power of Serena Morin is a swirl. The Swirl simply reverses the attack and health of a minion, opening multiple paths to thunderous plays.

As the mermaid song is something that delights, that will be used to create new strategies for the game. This new class brings a new mechanic: Charm.

The Charm will give a unique effect to a minion, and this effect can only be performed once after follow the directions written on the card.

A good example of this mechanic in a Basic Card:

With Battlecry or Deathrattle this card would be too overpowered. But the Charm limits you to activate its effect if the Ancestral whale survive for 2 enemy turns. This leaves more difficult and you have to develop strategies to protect the card so that the effect is activated.

Another example in an epic card:

Note that the effect of this card can only be activated the turn it was played, differentiating the Deathrattle. You have to be able to kill this lackey somehow in the same turn to get activate its powerful effect.

We can not forget a spell using the same mechanics:

Only a minion can enable Charm, is written as in the examples: Die at the turn it was played, When you attack, Survive 2 enemy turns, is referring to the minion, not the hero.

Of course, don't there will be only animals cards, also have cards of marine plants, differents mermaids, fantasy characters and places like Atlantis, or perhaps even surfers, haha. :P

Serena Morin can be pretty aggro and control, exchanging the Attacks and Health minions to hit the enemy hero or take control of the battlefield. There is plenty of decks to Mermaid using neutral or class cards and that makes it a powerful class. Think of the endless possibilities using Swirl and Charm!

I hope you're all right! Sorry if I missed a word, for I speak Portuguese. Thank you!

 Edward Elric, the Fullmetal Alchemist. Along with his brother Alphonse, these two talented lads face the homonculi in

"Fullmetal Alchemist".

Presenting an all-new hero: The Alchemist. 

Included in this class is a unique mechanic: Alchemy.

Whenever you draw a card, any minions or weapons you control with Alchemy will activate their abilities.

As an example of this mechanic, take Roy Mustang and Automail Arm. 

Of course, a mechanic reliant on drawing cards requires some activators.

Thus, I present Alchemic Preparations. 

Edward will definitely get more Alchemy cards and activators in the future,

but for now he is just a small alchemist with big dreams.

To see more, all you gotta do is click that like button down below. 

So, there you have it: The Alchemist Class, based on Full Metal Alchemist.

Thanks for your time!

Here is my entry. I'm a Spiderman fan, but picking another character will give more design options.

Class Name: Symbiote

General Hero Playstyle

Venom will play as some sort of jack of all trades, similar to how he can keep changing shapes and forms to suit the situation. However, being a symbiote, he will be a minion based class, using his minions as "hosts".

The Hero Power

His hero power gives his "hosts" a temporary buff, allowing him to make favorable trades and keep his minions alive. Again, emphasizing his parasitic behavior, his hero power is useless when he does not have a minion.

His Own Unique Mechanic and Card Examples:

His unique mechanic will have a keyword: Devour. Devour is a trigger ability that means: "Whenever this card destroys a minion, " Emphasizing his minion based playstyle, he will of course have to control the board. Here are the sample cards:

Thank you Asylum_Rhapsody for giving me the heads up of the missing class name.

The cute floating, pink ball of doom from a star-shaped planet is ready to kick some butt!

Class: KIRBY

(it's species is kirby because there are other kirbys)

Hey guys, my hero is based on Kirby from it's Nintendo's series hence why his hero power and cards are based on this franchise. For example, Inhale is Kirby's signature move In the series which allows him to copy enemies abilities and moves, the closest I could do was to copy the opponents hero power. This is similar to Sideshow Spelleater in fact, it is literally the hero power version of the card.

The introduction of Kirby introduces a new mechanic in the game, Burn! This mechanic makes minions suffer from 1 damage at the end of every turn and have their attacks halved rounded to the highest whole number. Below is a spell card that uses the "Burn" mechanic.

As you can see, this card uses the burn mechanic. Extremely similar to Cone of Cold except with the burn mechanic instead of freeze. This card is useful for temporarily stopping damage to your hero and also to clear minions. This card can be dead in the hand but definitely pays off with a nice effect.

Now onto the weapon: Kirby's Hammer

Kirby's weapon is Kirby's Hammer a 5 cost 3/3 that has a unique effect. It will do 6 damage to minions if they cost 5 or more which can clear cards like Mysterious Challenger, Tirion Fordring, Spectral Knight, Chillmaw and many more. This is clearly a powerful weapon but can be a little dead against decks like zoo and face hunter. 

Now time for my minion, Waddle Dee

Waddle Dee is a solid 2 drop and a good early game presence which the weapon lacked. He has the abiity to take on scummy zoo decks with his nice 4 health to bulk hits from Lepper Gnome, Ironbeak Owl, Imp and many more. His enrage allows him to become a more powerful minion to take on Haunted Creeper and trade in with Knife Juggler.

Thanks for reading my Kirby class submission, I hope that you enjoyed it :) and if you did, just hit that upvote button :p

Saiyan class (Goku)

This class will be based on Dragon ball Z.  
The class has a keyword simular to spell damage called power level.

Power levels increase damage and effects of some class specific cards among other things.
Power level will be an important aspect of this class.
Your current power level will be displayed on your hero portrait between attack and health.

When you start the game your hero will have a power level of 2.

Hero power

This increases your power level by 2 which persists through turns.  
This might seem overpowered but there will be cards that will benefit from your power level and reduce it afterwards.

Example cards

Kaio-Ken: Taught by King Kai this technique is difficult to master and has a bad effect on the body straining it to it's maximum potential or beyond. Use with caution. (card might change to give it a downside which it should have in my opinion)

Kamehameha: This is a move everyone knows. Taught by master Roshi this is a powerful burst of chi. You will not be happy when this hit's your face.

Dende: Dende, a boy from the planet Namek who became the guardian of planet Earth.  
Dende has amazing healing skills which he showed on Namek. I wanted that to reflect in the card.

Class: Sith Lord
Hero: Darth Vader

The Sith Lord Darth Vader likes to take advantage of the battlefield and for that he must make sure that all of his soldiers are ready to strike on command. Because of this, Vader prefers to control his opponent and win by overwhelming him over time.

Starting with our first minions, we can see that it is very important for Lord Vader to make sure his troops are ready when he his, which will be when its his turn to give commands! To make sure all of this is effective, we have to make sure that our minions survive for as long as they can!

To protect our troops on the battlefield, let's make sure to bring some great support tools like a good ol' T.I.E. Fighter. This fast spaceship will make sure that if any of your minions or Darth Vader himself are under assault, the attackers are not going to be left unharmed, the retaliation shall be immediate!

Class: Gotham Vigilante
Hero: Bruce Wayne/Batman

There is currently no rules in game about swapping back and forth between 2 characters, for example we do not know what happens if Jaraxxus turned back into Gul'dan. So I am going to make the ruling here:

When swapping to a different hero if you have used that hero before it retains its previous Armor and Health totals.

Secondly, weapons are no longer destroyed when changing heroes but they can be replaced if the new hero holds one innately like Jaraxxus.

Now with that out the way, Bruce Wayne/Batman's hero powers allow him to swap between his personas depending what the player does. Weapon attacks (or any hero attacks) transform the player to Batman and any spells cast return him back to Bruce Wayne. (Also, for the purposes of  effects like Inspire, swapping heroes in this fashion counts as activating a hero power.)

Because of this interaction, weapons for this class are themed towards Batman and spells are themed towards Bruce Wayne. Lets take 2 examples:

As a result of these 2 themes, you will not see a spell that "Assassinates" but you could see cards show the power of money such as research or political influences. Weapons are all simply bat-gadgetry.

So what about basic minions you may ask? Sure Legendaries are pretty easy for comic book character - but simple minions are a little trickier. Here is an example:

Class minions, like spells and weapons, are to be aligned with personas too. The above example, Love Interest is aligned with Batman. Batman aligned minions could also be enemies/goons that anger him or a bat-vehicle. Bruce Wayne aligned minions can be police, lawyers or any general "do-gooder". 

Buffs like the one explained above do not effect personas that are not currently active. So if you weren't Batman, the Battlecry would simply have no effect. This added complexity is part of managing his 2 natures.

So you are probably wondering how this Hero would develop through the expansions? Initially it would be about setting up the Batman essentials, like the Batarang above. Cards gained through Adventures would focus on bad guys that match the theme. GVG will have the most complicated bat weaponry/machinery and The Grand Tournament would be about "being a symbol" for Gotham.

Please vote if you'd like to see me in future phases! 

CLASS: TAOIST

Taoism is a philosophical and religious tradition of Chinese origin that emphasizes living in harmony with Tao which means "way", "path" or "principle". With this class competition, I thought it would be interesting to introduce something totally irrelevant to fantasy genres. Secondly, my initial idea was to come out with two types of hero power contained in one class and I thought I could make use of the "Yin" and "Yang" concept.

HERO: LAO-TZU

Lao-Tzu (also Laozi which means old master in Chinese) was a philosopher and poet of ancient China. He is known as the reputated author of Tao Te Ching (a book which describes the Tao as the source and ideal of all existence) and founder of philosophical Taoism, and as a deity in religious Taoism and traditional Chinese religions. As a religious figure, he is worshipped under the name "Supreme Old Lord" and as one of the "Three Pure Ones". During the Tang, he was granted the title "Supremely Mysterious and Primordial Emperor".

YIN FORM HERO POWER: YIN QI (Also the starting hero power)         YANG FORM HERO POWER: YANG QI

In Chinese philosophy, Yin and Yang (also dark and bright) describes how opposite or contrary forces are actually complementary, interconnected and independent in the natural world, and how they give rise to each other as they interrelate to one another. In Taoist metaphysics, distinctions between the good and bad are perpetual and not real, so the duality of Yin and Yang is an indivisible whole. "Qi" also means energy so Yin Qi refers to dark/bad energy and Yang Qi refers to bright/good energy.

So how this class works is that there are additional resources (Yin Qi and Yang Qi) besides mana. At the start of each turn, you generate either 1 Yin Qi or Yang Qi depending on which form your hero is in, and you can only generate up to a maximum of 5 Qi each even if you perpetually stay in one form. Yin and Yang are unique to Taoist class only. They may benefit the class by alleviating the burden on mana or bringing bonuses from minions or spells when you choose to utilise them.

EXAMPLE 1:

Effects for Yang Form happen only if your hero is in Yang Form and vice versa, effects for Yin Form happen only if your hero is in Yin Form. This also explains why your hero needs to swap form. Yang (or bright) related effects tend to be more friendly while Yin (or dark) related effects tend to be more destructive.

EXAMPLE 2:

'

Yin X means you can choose to consume X amount of Yin Qi to activate the effect. Yang X means you can choose to consume X amount of Yang Qi to activate the effect. Yin X Yang Y means you can choose to consume X amount of Yin Qi and Y amount of Yang Qi to activate the effect. In other words, when you play this card, you will be prompted whether you want to consume (if you have enough) Qi to activate the effect (and you can choose not to).

EXAMPLE 3:

This is the legendary minion of Taoist class. As most of Taoist cards make use of Yin and Yang, this maximum generation of Yin and Yang would be supremely useful to play other cards later on.

I hope you have a general concept of how this class works after reading through the descriptions. Hope you like it! =D

 Edit: Removed Justicar Hero Power

Class: Drunken Cowboy

From the darkest and stinkiest saloons comes this gunslingin'  drinkin' cowboy who does not hesitate to pull the trigger. His name is Wild Wess.

He might be drinking a little too much so his aim isn't what it used to be. His hero power deals 2 damage randomly split among all enemies, kind of like Flamewaker when you play a spell. It can of course hit the enemy hero and both shots can hit the same target.

The hero power and the whole class is quite unreliable but it is the cards that can make it shine. The fun comes from making random being less random and dealing more damage.

Bloody Mary is always there to help. She adds one damage to every damage dealt to any enemy if possible. To clarify, her damage counts as a separate damage dealt so Acolyte of Pain would draw twice. This obviously makes the hero power a bigger threat and can be combined with other neutral cards as well as class specific cards.

Wild Wess also has a bunch of spells ready - one of them being Showdown. This card provides card draw as well as damage dealing.

All these gunshot flying over the board are nice but it still is missing something. This is where Wells Fargo comes in to make use of your hard work. You've earned it.

I hope you like Wild Wess, have fun and enjoy the competition!

My hero is Kaladin Stormblessed, a Knight Radiant from the Stormlight Archives series. Ironically, he was born in the town of Hearthstone. Knights Radiant are powerful soldiers who form bonds with spirits called spren. This bond gives them special powers, depending on the type of spren they bond with. Kaladin is a Windrunner, a class of Knights who can alter gravity as they fight.

Kaladin is a protective character, so most of his abilities focus on protecting and healing his minions.

Class: Knight Radiant

His hero power allows him to use the Three Lashes of the Windrunners. Most of the art for these is placeholder.

Second is a powerful spell! As a member of the Knights Radiant, Kaladin is able to share some of his power with the men under him. This power can be used to increase strength, but also has amazing healing capabilities.

Last but not least is Sylphrena, the spren who bonds with Kal to give him his powers. She's meant to be a much more aggressive version of Tirion Fordring. Rather than just soak damage, Syl would be played, immediately attack and die, then transform into a weapon so Kaladin could keep up the attack. She might be a bit overpowered right now, though.
