I am assuming this wont be available in arena?  

Flavor: Perfectly Balanced, As All Things Should Be

I despise deck destruction mechanics in this game.  But if we're gonna do it, might as well go all out and have some fun with it...

Poor little cubelock Dark Pact ed himself to death.

Based on the examples, I'm assuming legendary quests count?  If so, expect a TON of those.

Personally, I'd rather see a change to Saronite Chain Gang.  Change it to "battlecry: Summon another Saronite Chain Gang"  (Like the Hunter 1/1 cat) That's how 99% of players already thought it worked anyway.  Then you don't need to touch anyone's legendaries.

I like the theme.  Initial thought:

Yes, "Dragon" should be capitalized.   Trying to figure out how Dragon Hunter would feel different from Dragon [anything else].  Emeriss suggests that Dragon Hunter wants a big hand and breeding animals feels more distinctly "hunter-y" to me.  Might want to change it to "start of turn" to give opponent a chance to respond.

I'm so confused by the front page posting habits.  Two weeks of no front page post for the submission thread (and comparatively few entries) followed by front page posts for the final vote.  This week, we get a post for the submission thread (and, as always, that gave a ton more entries) but nothing for the final vote.  Hoping this evens out once Witchwood is out.

Voted for Kazzak and Time-Travelling Goblin but overall pretty unimpressed this week.  I think we proved there is a reason why Blizzard doesn't actually print cards that play around a fatigue mechanic.  You either create a card that is kind of worthless for 99% of the game (100% if the game doesn't go to fatigue) or you create a card that causes fatigue damage early, in which case it isn't really "fatigue" damage, imo, it's just regular damage.

Also, I like that the poll turned Kazzak into Kazakus.  Fun to think that they are the same character.  (=

There is an "insert an image option."  It's in between the "remove link" and "embed video" options.  Looks like a picture of some mountains.  Just upload the png to a website like imgur and then plug in the link to the png.  Welcome to the competition and good luck!

 To answer those questions for anyone who may wondering what the answers are:

Firstly the picture show the fatigue card. As you can see no number on the left corner of the card, like all cards in Hearthstone. Therefore this 'card' isn't odd or even as it has no cost.

Secondly Yogg-Saron, Hope's End only casts spells whenever you play a spell, so therefore because you don't play it, it's not counted as a spell you cast. But is it a spell? Well in short any card which has 'cast' a spell will have the words 'Your' 'You' 'Your Opponent' in them. So the fatigue 'cards' are not yours or your opponent per se.

Thirdly, if you receive a fatigue 'card', Rouge combos wouldn't work until you play a card. So again the card isn't yours or your opponent cards.

Hey Mods:

Would the wording of "fatigue cards" be accepted? Or should we just say take fatigue damage? 

I know it's a weird topic which has no existing examples, but it would help to have some clarafication.

Never once does the Hearthstone Wiki article about Fatigue name a Fatigue "card", only referring to "(t)he message displayed upon attempting to draw a card after reaching Fatigue." So as far as I'm concerned, that Fatigue "card" is just a notification, and you should be referring to the game state as being in/reaching Fatigue or taking Fatigue damage. There is no "Fatigue card" to interact with.

 

Edit: That being said I'm the only Mod currently online, and my coworkers might be more lenient on the subject. As you noted there are no existing examples of cards directly interacting with the Fatigue mechanic, and I honestly don't expect there ever to be one. If the notion of "Fatigue cards" allows for greater creative liberty in addressing the theme, I assume we will allow it.

Flavor:  That's the problem with boy kings.  Anduin will break your toys then say they belong to him.

A short lifeline when you get to the fatigue portion of the game that isn't completely useless before then.  Turn those dead minions against your opponent.
