(Please Read the Submission Topic first.)

Hello everybody! This topic is for discussion of our "Time For A Change" mini-competition. 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 entry? 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 entries? 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!

All of that said, please refrain from the following:

• Posting TONS of Ideas. Discussion topics 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 interesting?". Yes, getting feedback on your entry 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 entry 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!

This is the Submission Topic. The Discussion Topic is here.

Time For A Change

Welcome to the third mini-competition! It's about time we got to something like this.

Competition-Specific Restrictions:

• Your job is simply to make a new rendition of Nozdormu.
• The art and name must remain the same, and it must still be neutral, but the card text, mana costs, and stats are all yours to alter.
• As always, you may not delete any posts you make in this Submission Topic. Message one of the Fan Creation moderators if you've posted here in error or otherwise would like your post removed.
• Remember that, although HearthCards is awesome, you must host your card somewhere other than Hearthcards, such as Imgur or Photobucket.

General Competition Rules

These are the rules that remain consistent from competition to competition.

 Competition Process

NOTE: Mini-Competitions have very different time-tables than our normal competitions,
so please pay attention so that you're not caught off-guard!

 Rewards

Note that Mini-Competition winners, unfortunately, do not get to select any future competition theme.

Good Luck!

This Competition's Finalists

Competition-Specific Restrictions:

• You must change the art of your favorite Hearthstone card and replace it with something silly. Keep in mind that your new card art should be humorous, not serious.
• How you approach this challenge is up to you. You can simply replace the art with another image, photoshop the existing art or even re-draw the entire card art in Microsoft Paint.
• You're not allowed to change the name nor the text of the card. The only thing you're allowed to change is the art.

We have whittled down ~50 valid entries to just 9 of the community's favorites. 
Check out all the finalists below and vote in our poll (vote for as many or as few as you like) to help decide the winner! If you didn't get in, make sure to check in tomorrow when we start mini competition 2 of 6! Same Hearthstone time, same hearthstone channel.

Quote from Augrero >>

Uploading on page 1 was probably a mistake. R.I.P. Arcane Prowler :-p

Anyway, that was a nice and versatile round. My choices from all these will probably be Plated Knuckles and Goldshire Inkeeper.

Quote from The_Odinson >>

Whoa, wait what?! I got a Wild Card! Has a Wild Card ever actually won?

Quote from Livienna >>

Hey Purple, you forgot my hero power token ;D <3

This Week's Finalists

Competition-Specific Restrictions:

• Your card must have the number "1" in its effect text somewhere. Keeping it simple for the sendoff!
  • Note that the word "One" doesn't count - so no trying to sneak in with otherwise illegal Choose One cards.
  • We also won't be accepting numbers that happen to contain "1" - no Alexstraszas with 15s or Klaxxi Amber-Weavers with 10s please! We're looking specifically for the number "1".

We have whittled down ~210 valid entries to just 21 of the community's favorites. 
Check out all the finalists below and vote in our poll (vote for as many or as few as you like) to help decide the winner for the last competition of Season 5! There will be no regular competition after this poll. Instead, we will once again be starting the rapid fire rounds that are the mini competitions. At the same time, a new poll will go up to decide the Season 5 grand champion, all of this to be started around this time tomorrow, so make sure to check it out!

Ancient Sword

 Elemental Disruption 

Quote from LookingForOwls >>

Standoff would be way too easy to combo with Hemet, Jungle Hunter are potentially gross combos criteria for judging these?

Lots of great finalists this week (and even more tokens).  Personally, I love the randomness of Standoff. Like Renounce Darkness, it's a card that I'd never take in a serious deck, but I would still love to play. Mistress of Pleasure is very well designed, as is Tortolla. Uzzikis I ended up voting for because the flavor is pretty cool, and that art is just so adorable.

Lots of finalists this time around! go check out the final poll HERE.

This Week's Finalists

Servant of Ragnaros

 Wild Imps

Uzzukis, Traveled From Time

Murozond, The Infinite

Forest's Blessing

 Standoff

Undercity Herbalist

Bit too strong in warlock, so it helps mage combo more reliably. Essentially makes your deck 1-2 cards smaller. Also, it ends up in your starting hand, then you get a 1/1.

Congragulations to TheProgenitor on a very close win! 

For those looking for some redemption, the new topic is up here.

Quote from Livienna >>

Nice idea! I would be clearer though about the public mod notes. When they appear, you have 24 hours to fix the issue before being DQed. Or something like that.

This is the Discussion Topic. The Submission Topic is here.

 Competition Theme: No Mere Top Deck

This weeks theme comes from ihascorm, whose "From the Void" was the winner of our "Slashing Prices" competition. 

Competition-Specific Restrictions:

• Your card must have a trigger when drawn. Alternatively, your card can shuffle cards into your or your opponents deck that have triggers when drawn.
• Existing examples include Flame Leviathan, Beneath the Grounds, Ancient Shade, and Sea Reaver.
