Hello everybody! This topic is for discussion of our "World Beyond Warcraft" Class Creation Competition. One of the awesome things about our Fan Creation Forum Competition is that it gets us all talking about what makes a card or a class balanced, fun, realistic, interesting, unique, innovative, exciting, and more. However, 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 idea? Do you need help finding art that will fit your cards? 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 competition, so make sure that you've settled on your idea for sure beforehand.
Discussion! Do you have thoughts on other people's ideas? 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 design and balance? This is where you want to be!
All of that said, please refrain from the following:
Posting TONS of Ideas. We understand that this competition is light on mechanical restrictions and that you probably have a ton of potential ideas you'd like to share. However, this thread is going to 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 balanced?". Yes, getting feedback on your idea 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 ideas 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.
So, without further ado, have fun and get creating!
I didn't expect to make it this far either. Congratulations to everyone who's advanced to the third phase, thanks to everyone who voted, and good luck to everyone!:)
I also didn't expect to make it this far.. thanks to everyone who voted :)
Gonna leave this link here again for a breakdown of classic card stats : https://goo.gl/fY7QpR
Hadn't really planned to get this far, I'm not sure if I'm gonna have the time :/
Ah yes, this is super helpful. I've been referring to it a lot when improving my class. Good luck to everyone who made it through, and I can't recommend using this enough, it's so helpful.
Can I get some feedback on these classic cards so far?
Happy to give some feedback :)
Fire and Blood: It's a conditional mass wipe. I think it'll be difficult to set the board up to get 6 mana worth out of it. I'd suggest dropping the cost to 5. 4 if your hero power isn't a ping.
Queen's General seems pretty balanced.
Justicair seems pretty balanced with all those conditions.
Drogon - Seems balanced, but where is the DRagon tag?
Dothraki Stalker. A rich man's Flametounge Totem? I'm not sure on this one, looks fine, but, might be too strong. At only 2 health most wipes will take it out, so I'm probably worried about nothing.

Thanks for the feedback! Responses below.
Fire and Blood: Hero power's not a ping so I'll probably drop it to 4 or 5 mana. I'm planning to make some cards that'll have some good synergy with this spell.
Justiciar: Thanks! I figured Execute, a 1-mana spell, with a Pit Fighter could essentially be a 6 mana minion but it still felt a tad too strong so I wanted to restrict the Battlecry a little bit. Glad it worked out.
Drogon: Oh - woops! I forgot the Dragon tag. It should definitely be there, thanks for the observation! Pretty sure most of the Fire Spells come from Mage at the moment but I'll be sure to link them all in the submission when I post it.
Dothraki Stalker: Yeah I wasn't too sure about what to do for his effect. Probably going to change it or make it have 2 health or something, maybe that'll help it stand out.
Thanks again for the critiques! I'll be sure to post the rest of the classic set here and the improved versions of these cards later. I look forward to reviewing yours as well!:)
No clue how I made it, but I didn't really follow the votes. Checked after a day or two and was already far behind so I didn't even think about any cards yet. Will be a busy night.
1) You have over a week for this phase. It's the longest one of the competition because it has the most cards, and up-votes don't matter. What I'm saying is, there's no rush to submit, and it's absolutely fine for you to take your time.
2) Make sure that the rarity distributions on your cards are correct. Yes, we will check.
3) Since there are only ~30 folks still participating but upvotes don't matter anymore, we might un-sticky the Phase III and IV discussion and submission topic so the board stickies aren't too crowded and the WCDCs are more accessible. We will let you know if this happens via PM.

Sounds great. That means everyone's class will be in the polls right? Regardless of upvotes? Basically skipping the upvote stage, so to speak? Just want to make sure I understood correctly. Thanks again for the clarifications!:)

Yeah, what matters is the poll now, don't mind the upvotes.
Hey Vultrae, I believe you should word 'Calm Sea' as 'Silence a minion, then give it -2 Health'. Since the effects happen simultaneously, silence would negate the Health change. Right? I think?
This is the Discussion Topic. The Submission Topic is here.

Can I get the spreadsheet of the final scores? I was pretty sure I was going to (barely) make it. Thanks.

Cruelsage (League of Angels) is not in the list, despite having higher upvotes. Is it because of some rule breaking (I guess keywords)?

I'm sorry about it, the idea was cool and I liked it. :(
But in the end was just too stubborn about some minor thing wich should not have caused any trouble...

Looking for some feedback my cards
I really like the legendary, simple but works really well with the Transform ability (tokens) but they might have too much Health.
