First one is fine, though as someone has pointed out, all Invoking cards Invoke Galakrond by themslves, so we'll have to see if Blizzard prints something similar to this. Probably yes, since it was done with C'Thun.
I actually think Dragoncaller might be too efficient of a tutor. Maybe making it cost more might be better so there is more of a tempo loss.
I think you also submitted. I actually like Dracauldron a lot. Great name, but effect can be a bit hard to pull off since there aren't many small Dragon tokens. Possibly a 3 mana 0/5.
Hmmmm Dragon Tamer... I can't think of any broken Malygos plays in Paladin so this it should be ok on that front. Reducing cost is really strong though without any condition, especially since it hits hand *and* deck.
Drakecologist, basically Ram Wrangler. With DoD upon us, we're getting some cheaper Dragons in the 3-4 mana range. This makes this card a lot worse.
Simple but, again, solid. Try to be a bit more creative with your card concepts since you've got the basics down. Instead of simply giving a Dragon Rush, how about when X happens, give a random Dragon in your hand Rush? Unfortunately, voters rarely notice a "balanced" and clean card like this.
Mmmm... I think this is too easy to complete and the reward is insane. You can use Crowd Roaster, Twin Tyrant, and that 5 mana 3/6 whirlwind effect... as well as any Dragon attacking a minion. Even at 4, the reward is absolutely busted since your opponent basically can never trade with your Dragons using their minions.
Deathling counts, it still interacts with a Dragon. That being said, it's a neutral never-fatigue. I mean yeah we have Elysiana now, but she just delays fatigue.
Manifestation is a very smart idea, I like it a lot. You can submit this one as-is.
I am not sure if this is broken or not with Malygos. You have to burn at least 4 or so spells, without using up any face-damage spells... It's probably ok in that regard? If you stick Gadgetzan, well, then there might be a problem but your opponent should have cleared that. We'll have to see what other Dragon are coming out tho, sincce being able to vomit 2-3 dragons for a lot cost might be game-breaking. So far, I think it is ok.
I don't think you submitted? In any case. In my red text rant I said never do "Deal (1) damage". Numbers are only in parentheses with Cost and Overload numbers.
Both cards are actually not bad. I'd bump up Dragon Breath to 4 since it is very easy to hold 2 Dragons in hand.
You submitted the Dragon in the Sky card, good choice. Paladin has been getting the "one-turn your opponent can't do [something]" cards, so this fits in well.
"Battlecry: Invoke Galakrond. If you control a (5)-Cost or higher Dragon, Invoke three times instead." is the correct wording. Also if the text is small like this, you can put the Battlecry immediately after Taunt instead of on a new line.
Missing a colon after the Battlecry. Ok, here's a tip when making tokens: Try to keep them as simple as possible. If your token is as complex as an actual card, you probably need to simplify it. Playful Whelp itself is probably fine, around Cloud Prince level.
Yeah, as you pointed out, Nether Guardian is very situational. How about this: Resummon all friendly Dragons destroyed by your own spells? So this works with Plague of Flame, Shadowflame *and* Twisting Nether.
Kage, nope nope nope. Stealthed Malygos on a 7? Nope.
Are you sure about last tip. Not every picture they could find is usable for others without permission from creator. And even if this competition is basicaly harmless usage, it is still against law of most countries and ethicaly wrong to use property of somebody without their permission.
You raise a very good point, actually. We have tried to enforce giving credit to images in the past but that has not worked out. At all.
We can only hope most of the images we use are under CC0. Also, we do try to encourage giving credit where it is due in our larger competitions as that generates much more traffic.
At the same time, people are using images *anyways* that they grabbed off of Google. I'm just telling them how to search for art that more fits with a Hearthstone aesthetic.
Iiiiiiiii dunno. I mean yeah it does interact with Dragons... but I'm not so sure about making a spell a Dragon. If you think voters will like this, I suppose you can use it.
Yes, as nix pointed out, Dragon and all other tribes (Murloc, Beast, Mech, Demon) are CAPITALIZED. Not bolded, not undercase, CAPITALIZED.
"Health" is capitalized. So is Cost. And Durability. And Attack.
Damage is not capitalized. Nor is hero.
Please check your spelling, guys. "Battlecries".
Keep your cards at 4 lines of text or less. Never go above this.
The only time a number is between parentheses is in Overload and for Cost. So no "Deal (1) damage..."
The key to making a polished card is proofreading. Whenever you are unsure, *don't guess*. Use google and find existing cards with examples of the wording you are trying to use.
Another thing I'd like to point out is choice of art. Not everyone will spend hours finding art, but if you search "fantasy [dragon/warrior/knight/whatever] art" on google, you will have tons upon tons of serviceable art. (the stuff I've seen so far in this week's discussion has pretty good art though, so take this point as a general reminder.)
This doesn't interact with a Dragon. Once Galakrond is your hero, he is no longer counted as a Dragon. In fact, Galakrond is not counted as a Dragon period, he's a hero card.
Yeah that's ok, so long as the token is the same. (Which it is, in your case)
Right. Here we go.

I see you've already submitted but in my red-text rant, I specifically pointed out to never go above 4 lines of text.

Rebel Yell is solid.

Please double check the submission thread for a tutorial on how to properly post images here.
Card is fine. Perhaps add "This costs (0) if your..." to clarify that the spell costs (0), not the Dragon.
You submitted the Dragon in the Sky card, good choice. Paladin has been getting the "one-turn your opponent can't do [something]" cards, so this fits in well.
You also submitted. Only thing I'd like to say is... there's no need for that big space between the first two lines and the Deathrattle.
"Your Dragons ignore Taunt." is the correct wording. Questionable art choice as well.
"Battlecry: Invoke Galakrond. If you control a (5)-Cost or higher Dragon, Invoke three times instead." is the correct wording. Also if the text is small like this, you can put the Battlecry immediately after Taunt instead of on a new line.
Both look great as-is.

We seem to have a lot of new card creators:

Here's mine. I'll try to do a mass review like I usually do soon.
I'm pretty sure he means the hunter and paladin card.
There is an option to make spells on hearthcards. Just look closer on the left side of the site.
