Hearthpwn

Thank you and yes Ragnaros the Firelord with a marshmallow back would be EPIC! 

I meant to say "glitch" not bug. :3 

This is simply... awesome. I was building a few decks and decided to create a shaman deck in Wild. Mind you I had clicked on card backs to put a different card back on another deck and thought nothing of it. With that said, I wanted to share this "experience" with everyone here on Hearthpwn, because it was awesome. Could you imagine for a moment if customized card art was a thing in Hearthstone? I can! If it ever does become a thing; I so want the card art for Ysera from this screenshot. :) Enjoy!

Good News! 

I survived Hurricane Irma. Man, did she blow. (literally). Resorted to eating tuna fish out a can (not a bad thing), warm mayo, and a gigantic friggin' tree branch crashed on our road. Luckily no flooding and we lost power for maybe 12 hours. There were those not as fortunate and consider myself lucky.

I have noticed a few practices, requests, and other things these past two competitions so naturally I have a few questions. 

First, before I go into my questions I do want to apologize regarding something along the lines of "spamming" or something of that sorts. The ones who sent me a pm; thank you for bringing it to my attention in a positive, encouraging manner. :) You rock

Questions:

1. How do I reduce the size of the cards I post in a fashion where they are still legible? (I know there's a dimensions area when posting an image, but what do most size their cards to, in order to make the cards slightly smaller)

2. Is it considered plagiarism (according to the rules) if someone who literally had the luck of getting first message entry into a discussion topic posts an idea that is something you wanted to do? If so, what's the best way of maintaining as close to the original idea you would have had?

3. If it is considered plagiarism; why then allow people to "post ideas" in the first place as that literally robs others of the opportunity to express their own creative sides? (I'm an adult; I'm not going to go all whiny because someone created Winnie the Pooh before I did.) 

    A follow up to Question 3 and I guess a bit more of an in-depth explanation as to the type of answer I'm seeking is this: 

     If you have Post B introduce an idea that says "destroy all minions"  in the discussion area for say.... Priest... for 8 casting and then so-and-so posts on 4th page of the discussion area with a "destroy all minions" but for Rogue for 6 casting; is that considered plagiarism? 

Some of my questions might seem redundant as others on the board have been competing for quite some time. My questions also might seem.... testy... but please be assured I am literally asking so I know for this competition and future ones. 

Thank you for your time :)

Due to Hurricane Irma making landfall within the next day or two; I decided I wanted to make the best of it. How, you might be asking yourself, would I do that? 

Before anyone decides to state "oh, that's wrong," or "that's being insensitive," please note: I'm literally right in the middle of it all as indicated on this map..

 With that quick little disclaimer made... I've always had a fondness for making light of a bad situation; hurricanes are not exempt. With the current competition underway I created this just to make other people that play Hearthstone around here something to smile about. I present a new Shaman legendary card. This minion is guaranteed to cause auto-concedes.

 

 I'm sorry for you dude, I hope everything will be ok :)

I have a new, 1000% different idea:

  

His Battlecry basically gives your in-play Mechs an Alarm-o-Bot effect when they "die", assuming you have a minion in your hand to swap with. They return to your hand instead of going to the graveyard, and someone takes their place on the field. "Flavor"-wise, this could be seen as the Mech breaking down while its pilot bails from the wreckage, or perhaps the parts rebuild themselves into another Mech.

I'm worried his Battlecry might be OP, but to compensate somewhat his Heroic Power is merely alright, and there's room to tone it down further to something like "Discover a Spare Part. Reduce its cost to (0)." That his Battlecry can only affect Mechs hopefully keeps it from being too bonkers, as well. Maybe it should specify that only other Mechs can replace them?

Considering that one of the Spare Parts you can Discover is Reversing Switch, theoretically he could seen as satisfying the theme twice hehe :^)

Originally I was going to submit 

 I didn't feel like it was all that great of a card... so I created...

 But I didn't really want mana to be a choice for casting it... so I decided to go with a more complex idea...

 Details regarding the reward and such are available on the Weekly Card Design Competition 6.12 Submission Page.

And I just realized I forgot to quote someone and give a comment before I posted all this. Forgive me and I will comment after this post. :) Thanks everyone and good luck!

Greetings and well met everyone! This is a very exciting competition for me as it's my second competition involving custom Hearthstone card creations. I look forward to seeing all the different ideas people come up with. 

With that said... allow me to introduce....

Summon the Legion, a 1-casting cost Quest for the Warlock class. 

Flavor Text: "Gul'dan always wanted a pet; he wasn't expecting Mannoroth though."

 When you've paid it's price you are rewarded with an 8-casting Legendary

 When this card enters the battlefield you become...

You may truly feel powerful, but power isn't enough to completely annihilate those who choose to face you in battle. You also acquire the mighty weapon...

 Bring Glory to the Legion!

Thinking of cards with swap is hard when everyone else is making them too, but I think I finally have an idea I'm happy with. That said, I'd still like feedback on this one.

Anyone have a name for this? (Temporary Name)

4 Mana 3/4

Battlecry: Swap Battlecry and Deathrattle on each card in your hand and deck. (If a Deathrattle has a target it's chosen at random.)

Okay, so here's what I've got so far. Your thoughts?

• Traitor Trader: Yes, I made this purely for the pun. XD It's a nice anti-Jade Idol card though.
• Double Cross: The name and art are both references to Treachery. To a certain degree, it has the same mechanical effect as Treachery. It can be used to steal cards, make some Treachery shenanigans with cards like Doomsayer and Howlfiend, "heal" your cards, reshuffle cards with powerful Battlecries, and synergize with Warlock's powerful cards that have a Battlecry drawback (e.g. Doomguard and Lakkari Felhound). The balancing is based off of Gang Up, Entomb, Recombobulator, Devolve, and of course, Madam Goya. Also, the name is a pun on how double/two cards cross the battlefield.
• Windwaker: The name is an allusion to Flamewaker and Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker; oh, and this is also a pun :P. It helps you "refresh" your hand in case you draw the wrong cards. It's great for certain combo decks, Elemental decks, or any deck really.

Here are my ideas so far:

The Siren is basically going to bait a spell/weapon of your opponent's hand, or else they have to essentially sacrifice a minion by setting it's Attack to 0. The Paladin Secret lets you get a minion in your deck out for free, and in the middle of an attack so that something that was attacking a 1/1 is now attacking something else. But the cost is that you now have a 1 mana 1/1 vanilla minion diluting your deck. The last card also gives you efficiency at the cost of diluting your deck. 

 The Siren is my favorite. Easily the best designed card of the three. Venture Co. Miner just feel really bad if it hits important cards for too little reward. Protector of the Weak seems rather weak as Paladin don't run many card draw and usually doesn't have that much problem calling out big minions.

 Double Cross: Seems rather terrible compare with Madame Goya. The fact that neither Zoo nor Handlock want to run this card make this really terrible.

Traitor Trader: Seems rather niche, but the body is good enough that it might see play.

Windwaker: My favorite of the three. Really well-designed.

Quote from Toble >>

Narrow themes make it harder to come up with something unique.  Here's an idea that I like that I think has some decent flavor to it.  And as far as I can tell, it hasn't been posted yet.

Sure, it could potentially swing out a big Beast early in the game, but its a secret so (1) it would only activate on your opponent's turn and (2) your opponent could play around it.  It is rare for an opponent to damage but not kill a beast in the early game so this card won't be activating until you have beefy enough beasts on the board to survive a hit.

So flavorful! I love it! But I feel the effect just TOO random. Sometime it can high roll out your Highmane, sometime it pulled out an Alleycat. I feel that adding some restriction would make it better.

 Repost my idea with a new one:

Before I post in the Submission thread when it opens would anyone mind critiquing an idea I had for this particular competition?

I present... <drum roll>

I created Lilian Voss's favorite card. 

 On second thought... there's no implication that you're adding it to your hand... which probably needed to be on the card? In this instance would that be correct or is implied?

Here let me fix that card text for ya.

"Spend all your mana. Add that many Razorpetals to your hand."
