By the way, is anyone having problems where sometimes the poll picks what you voted for you, even if you haven't voted yet or it's completely different from what you voted on?

Yep, having that one for years now lol :D

This is a reiteration of a minion from my Great Thaw expansion. Basically, it's a defensive 1-drop because you aren't going to want to flood the board zoo/token style due to the drawback. Love to hear thoughts! :D especially on if it's too good as neutral/what class you'd suggest xD 

 

 bumping for feedback xD 

Also, what about changing the name to "Untrained Frost Whelp" "Frost Fledgling" or something along those lines, to further explain the flavor? 

 How cuuute <3

About balance seems alright, playable - not good, not bad. Name is fine. Good control tool - Zombie Chow like. I'll vote.

 

So I'm going with one of these:

BTW, when a challenge says "example cards" does that mean the showcased cards specifically or could it be the cards behind spoilers?

Also I was kind of hoping for a "Clone" challenge that required us to make a clone of an existing basic card. Like how Holy Smite and Arcane Shot are identical xD because I think I'm doing that anyway and while you could say its lazy design, I think it makes sense for basic cards and it also helps us ground our classes in reality a bit.

Speaking of. Are mods taking challenge suggestions at all in PMs? hahah

I'm home! Yay the challanges!

... 2 minutes later...

Oh no, the challanges! There's some that I like (and fit my current ideas) and some that would be real... interesting. I'll comment more after dinner. 

 You can't make fan creations on an empty stomach!

On a side note, I understand many of you are non-native english speakers. (Personally, I love this challenge as word play is always encouraged) This a great link that can help with making phrases. Below are two examples.

Sing and Dance

Ripple in Time

Or... If you're eccentric, Sharpest Knife in the Drawer

 I was just gonna share this link :P good stuff in the comments too

I make crosswords for publication and have tons of word lists bookmarked like this haha

So, completely random hypothetical question for you all that will almost definitely never need to be practically applied I hope but if there were two challenges which were tied for 3rd place, would you prefer that we:

A) Flip a coin to determine which challenge you have to follow (or some other suitable random binary choice selector).
or
B) Make it so you have to follow both challenges, so you have 4 challenges for the phase instead of 3.
or
C) Some other option - we're open to suggestions.

How does this look?

Okay guys, I'm going deep into my expansion competition entries for this one xD 

I'm lazy and on mobile soooooo

1 mana neutral 3/2 dragon "At the start of your turn, Freeze adjacent minions"

Quote from NiRaSt >>

hey, guys; i'm done with the hero borders; they're in the spoiler below with the following exceptions:

• Spirit Walker and Dragonworn; Tecknician said he'll do those and he already did the Dradonsworn one;
• Old Death Knight; the new one is a lot better and already has a hero border;
• Sea Witch; yeah, i'm not touching that one (sorry to anyone who used it);

 tell me if what you think and if you think any of the borders need some improvements.

next stop, minions without attack and health

Btw i just saw Livienna's submission and i just have to give her a shoutout ... that is one perfect submission, shows off everything with just a tooltip and the cards, nothing else needs to be said and we understand what the class is about and how everything works. Damn good job!

I second this. Livieanna living up to the expectations again. That submission is flawless.

 gahhhhh thank youu!! *blushes profusely*

You've also completely decimated everyone else on your page. I think you've created what Cogito would call a "page of death". You're so far ahead of everyone else in page 4 that no one will want to post there because they think (and most of them probably will) they won't make it because of your high score.

Only 5 posts in there so far ... 14 people will have to make a sacrifice.

eek! Well, no... a LOT of people will get through to round 2. If you have a solid class concept, people will vote for you no matter what page you're on and you'll go on! Seriously, it'll be okay guys xD

I'd third that! I just went through the classes (most of them look AWESOME so good job guys! <3), and yours is one of the ones that stood out to me. I definitely love the whole "clairvoyance" and buff theme. 

But yeah, you've created a page of death. ;P (Though I can confirm that some contestants on your page will advance to the next phase, while the rest will be eaten by Deathwing as food so that we don't die)

I also quite like the slick and concise look of your presentation! It needs a banner...and I've been experimenting with my Microsoft Word skills recently...so...

How's this?

Btw, if anyone else needs a banner, just reply to me!

As for my own class, I'm gonna bump it because post on the bottom of the page is bad.

Hey guys, sorry for not being as active on the discussion as I was last time, I've been just trying to get the first 5 example cards done, but I've had other things to do. Regardless, I've decided to make a Summoner class.

This may come as a surprise, but she's all about summoning things. So, if her hero power did something that wasn't summoning a guy, there'd be a serious issue here. Anyway, as you can tell by her art, she's pretty evil... Well, regardless of whether she's really evil or not, she's definately trying to look evil. Her personality is that of a really stereotypical villain you'd see in a comic book or TV show. She's really overdramatic, she's perfected her evil laugh, she never seems to do anything to people she hates besides kidnap them and she likes coming up with a new doomsday device every once in a while that always seems to get so close to destroying everything. It's perfectly clear to everyone though that she's actually really soft and likes to pretend she's evil because otherwise people won't think she's cool. (Clear enough to anyone who's seen her golden Tinyfin collection at least)

Spoiler (click to hide)

The idea behind this class is that pretty much all of the spells she knows don't come from her, but from creatures she can summon on the spot. Her power other the other classes when it comes to summoning is shown through her keyword, Invoke.

Here's one of my example cards, and one of the cards with the keyword on it. She's REALLY good at summoning Pebbles at this point, so she's capable of summoning them high above her opponents so that their heavy bodies come crashing down on top of them. This kind of card shows her summoning superiority; she's versatile with it and can summon something to utilise their effect but not pay the full mana needed to make that minion or those minions stick around.

She's versatile with summoning in more ways than just one. She can also cheat minions out as a response to getting harmed, her adrenaline empowering her spells.

In other words, she has secrets. 4 Cost secrets, specifically. They're generally defensive and quite minion focused. Secret synergy might come at some point, which would be based more off of doing things if you have a secret rather than throwing a bunch of secrets out over the course of the games and in bursts, simply because her secrets are expensive. Relies on good deckbuilding to make this reliable, and your opponent can play around it, but when you do summon that giant taunt or Ysera, you'll feel as though you'd have already won. Sure, it might just get Deadly Shotted, but that's not the important part.

If you weren't expecting the class who's flavour can be boiled down to "Summoning monsters, creatures and other beings" to utilise synergy with most of the non-class specific races/tribes, I'd say you weren't thinking straight. Dragon decks are pretty much only a priest archetype right now, and it's more tempo focused than control (Usually). I think a couple of scary big dragons might be able to fix that. Also, I chose a Behir for the art, because that's a part of what the summoner does. She doesn't just summoner regular dragons or basic beasts, she summons things that she creates through her mind, so they're usually a little bit alien.

Sometimes she really likes to just show everyone that she is indeed an evil and horrible person; look at how scary the things she summons are! It's both scary because it looks scary and because it can get a little out of control if left alive too long. Maybe it won't be getting any bigger, but when you've lost two or three biggish minions to this, you might start lagging behind her a little bit in value. It is, of course, a perfect card to get off of Panicked Summoning, being hard to take out and clearing off a lot of minions before it goes down... Ideally.

Mephilia's finally done it. The hero (Thrall in this case) has been attacking her relentlessly, tearing her apart. But now in her hands, she's finally obtained the power she needs, a beast of unrivalled power that will destroy all his friends and drain the hope from his body, making her only more and more powerful. She's already won. Feeling a surge of confidence pulse through her body, she does what every other antagonist in this situation feels incredibly compelled to do: Gloat. Boast. Tell him just how hopeless it always was, why she's been doing this all along, and how. She tells him to look upon the board and despair. During this time, Thrall desperately tries to find a way out, and finds exactly what he needs to defeat this villain. His friends enter a bloodlust, beating her down and saving the world. Yet another villain, taken down by what hundreds of villains in the same position have done in the past; Monologuing.

Oh, also this card has proven to be really hard to evaluate so please give your feedback on this one.

I'd appreciate some feedback for my cards, and genuinely, I'm sorry for not commenting on more peoples ideas here. Some of you have really good ideas! I'm still annoyed at Lorewalker tho, you heard that playing two in a turn was bad, and then you attached it to a battlecry on a minion who would be available at the same time as Brann and costs 7. I don't quite get that, gonna be honest. And even then, as I said, the fact you could play two wasn't even the whole issue. Whatever, some of these cards have been getting mixed responses to others I've been showing them too, so I'd love to get some feedback before tomorrow!
