Hello everybody! This topic is for discussion of Week #21 of our Weekly Card Design Competition. One of the awesome things about this competition is that it gets us all talking about what makes a card 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 this week's 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 card? Do you need help finding art that will fit your card? 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 week, so make sure that you've settled on your card for sure beforehand.
Discussion! Do you have thoughts on other people's cards? 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 card design and balance? This is where you want to be!
WARNING:
Please refrain from the following...
Advertising Your Card.This is a new rule during Season 2. Please don't pop in here just to advertise your card 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 card 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 card 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!
Feels underpowered. A lesser heal than Antique Healbot for more mana, with slightly better stats. The Beast Synergy is interesting, but ultimately I can't ever see this card being played. A stat increase might help it.
Well u will have tons of work this week, cause i think crapload of entires will fail to adhere rules, due to some overlap so there will be more than (3) 7's :D but should be fun :D
Wow this is a tough competition, but I think I've got something good. Thoughts would be appreciated! The three criteria I met were the 7 health, mana cost, and 7 words in the description.

How does Dr. Boom (Haelth, Mana, Attack) not count? Due to the '.'?
Yeah. Any characters in a name, except spaces, count towards the 7 character count. This also means that your submission does indeed have 4 7s Varolie.
Should be a considerable pick for mech decks, most suited for decks available to proc it a several times. Perhaps could be played in a mechmage deck. The card is heavily reliant on RNG and it could give something great like Sneed's Old Shredder, or something terrible like Clockwork Gnome. As several procs could possibly generate incredible value, it is always a high priority target for your opponent and could make them spend a removal if they cannot deal with it. The dragon attribute could open possibilities for interesting synergies. A good competitor to Dr.Balanced .
This is my first suggestion and first post here ever, would appreciate some help, feedback or someone pointing at any mistake there is.
Your card cannot produce any additional unique cards or tokens. (Though it can produce cards or tokens that already exist in the game, whether collectible or not.)
Are the spells produced (then instantly consumed) from Choose One effects included under this rule?
Good Question, we didn't consider that! No, those are not included. You can submit a card with Choose One without fear. I have edited the submission rules to clarify this. Thank you!

Dr. = 3 + Boom = 4 > 7 characters, if spaces dont count, or do they then ?:O
Okay then here are two qualified alternatives to my sen'jin.
remeber if in shadow form you switch to regular form, if in regular form go into shadowform. casting shadowform while in shadowform from Sen'jin will upgrade to the 3 damage power. switching from that to regular form then back to shadow form will put you back in 2 damage mode.
This is the Discussion Topic. The Submission Topic is here.

any thoughts? name is not final, just a concept

Hers my first concept for the contest, Priest Legendary Sen'jin.
costs 7, 7 health, 7 words in card text, thats 3. if the apostraphe counts in sen'jin it makes 4.
If you are in Shadowform you switch back to regular form and vice versa
Edit didn't see the exactly 3 condition does that mean I need to adjust cost or stats?

You will get the upgraded shadow form, but if Sen'jin takes damage again you go back to the regular hero power,

Looking for feedback. I'll try to reciprocate any I get.
Galavant Animation
In my Opinion is should go to Mind Spike,
On another note, even I missed the 3 and only 3 requirement when I went through the rules

Has 1 too many 7's, you can only have 3. Also, named minions are strictly legendaries.
