I hate to bump this again so soon, but... I still haven't gotten any feedback yet, and we have less than a day left to submit.
What I wrote before about it:
The idea is that you get a random Shaman spell to your hand, that when you cast it... adds another random Shaman spell to your hand, that when you cast it... adds another random Shaman spell to your hand, and this effect repeats indefinitely for that one spell. The only thing is that it says it "gains this Battlecry", and I know someone is going to say "but spells can't have Battlecries". It's not getting one. It's getting the effect. The spell generated by Rehgar would also have a special effects layer over the card (like all of the "Shifter" cards), so you would know which card triggers this effect.

This was my thought... and yes that is the Moonfire card art, reinterpreted as the Rager being bathed in the light of how much he loves himself.
So you get a Steel Rager that is so narcissistic he will remake another minion in his own image. Added "can't attack heroes" so that the enemy Rager won't just come back and smack you in the face. On one hand you can use this to neutralize some key cards, but on the other hand it will come back and hurt your own minions.
It has 5 lines of text, so you need to shorten it somehow. It also makes no sense for a Basic card to have Overkill, which is exclusive to Rastakhan's Rumble (or so we think at least).
I already submitted, but is it worth resubmitting to:
1. Clarify that the intention is for a permanent -1/-1 reduction to both stats (rather than -1 attack and 1 damage, which can be healed), and
2. Capitalize “cast?”
Yes, "cast" should have a capital C, as it is the beginning of the Deathrattle. The Deathrattle should also have quotation marks around it. Refer to Soul of the Forest and Ancestral Spirit.

One of the ideas for Tichondrius, not Varimathras. And even so, who cares?
My Varimathras was made the same year. Yeah, I think few people would remember. This ability feels very dreadlord-y, I'm not surprised someone else would have the same idea.
Anyway, improved versions of my cards
Which is best?
Oooh my, that new Varithmaras is scary. I'd say I prefer Candlebeard, mostly because it's safer.

I realize this is stretching the rules a bit, but does this count?
Also, bumping my original card because it got no feedback.

I would have liked to have this in the Baku era...
The artwork you used for Brain Parasite is already used in game: Shadowfiend.
Lobotomy also has 5 lines of text, so you will need to shorten it. Not having a new line after "take 1 damage" will probably fix this.
Thank you for the feedback! I'm new here, and I couldn't find any information about how to pick or make new artworks. I've seen many people reuse old or token artwork or ripping off some mtg artworks... any advice as to how to find adequate artworks to employ?
Usually just typing "_ _ _ _ fantasy art" in Google Images is how I (and probably most other people) get their artwork. Ideally, sites like Artstation could have some artwork to use.
If you want to use Blizzard art, some websites like blizzart will give you that.
If worse comes to worse though, using MTG artwork is not necessarily a bad thing. I've used MTG artwork to make some of my cards before (both accidentally, and intentionally). Case and point:
already posted this in the submission thread, first time doing one of these competitions :O
It has 5 lines of text, so it needs to be shortened. It's an unwritten rule of Hearthstone that all cards have 4 lines of text or less, as every existing English card has 4 lines of text or less. While your card won't be disqualified for this, it's unlikely that it will get many, if any, votes.
Tip for first timers: You should post your card in the Discussion Topic first, so you can get feedback on what to change. Once you've finalized everything about the card, then you should post it in the Submission Topic.
What do you think about this idea? The first minion that this effect bounces to would only gain the deathrattle in addition to its own. For example if it bounced to Tirion Fordring, the abilities would be "Divine Shield, Taunt, Deathrattle: Equip 5/3 Ashbringer AND Deathrattle: Give this minion's abilities to a random minion". Then the next minion would gain the previous effects in addition to its own and they would keep stacking forward until all the minions on board were removed for once so there was no minion to bounce to.
Also void revenants are actually NOT DEMONS. Should I stay trustful to the lore or use the demon tag since all void minions in HS have been demons?
The tribe thing is very inconsistent when it comes to Voidwalkers and resembling minions. For example, Voidwalker and Arcane Artificer are both Voidwalkers, yet one is a Demon, and the other is an Elemental.
I love the idea of giving minions the effects of other minions. It's something I've tried myself. As such, I quite like this card in theory. No doubt it has the ability to cause some devastating combos though.
Important balancing lesson: Start of Game effects should not have positive effects without a negative effect or buildaround requirement. Just look at what Genn Greymane and Baku the Mooneater did, which are both understatted and have a pretty heavy deck buildaround requirement.
Then look at Prince Malchezaar, who's effect could theoretically help you, but the effect is too random and too impractical to rely on. In fact in most cases, it actually hurts you more than it helps you.
This is my first idea. I'm really happy with the idea, but I'm not sure if I worded it properly or not.
The idea is that you get a random Shaman spell to your hand, that when you cast it... adds another random Shaman spell to your hand, that when you cast it... adds another random Shaman spell to your hand, and this effect repeats indefinitely for that one spell.

You're supposed to post your card in the Discussion Topic first. Well, you don't have to, but it's why the Discussion Topics exist.
The card itself seems pretty neat though.

I cared because it could easily be misinterpreted as plagiarism.

Sadly, I can't find it, but I very distinctly remember seeing it at one point. Maybe I'm just losing my mind.

I feel like Gang Goblin is just a worse version of Pogo-Hopper.
Death Claw has 5 lines of text, meaning you will need to shorten it.
I specifically remember seeing Varithmaras with that same name and effect somewhere on one of Fullas's videos.
