    Competition Theme: A Murder in Flavortown

    • Simply insert the image of one of your favorite winning cards from this season, and give it new flavor text!

    You have from the time this goes up to 10 EST 2/16 to post AND upvote!


    General Competition Rules

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

    Posting Rules

    • You are allowed to submit only one entry. 
    • After your submit, you may only make minor edits to your submissions (spelling, grammar, etc.). Please PM a fan creations moderator if you have questions regarding an edit you are not sure about.
    • You may not delete ANY posts you make in this Submission Topic, not even accidental ones. Please PM a fan creations moderator if you make a mistake in your submission.
    • This thread is for submissions only. Any discussion of the competition must take place in the discussion topic.

    These are the rules about your Submission:

    • Your card cannot be Golden, have a hearthcards.net generated backdrop, or any major photo editing done to it.
    • You are allowed to post in this Submission Topic only once, only to submit your one entry.
    • Accompanying the image of your card, you may offer some minimal additional commentary to explain its design, balance, and/or other qualities. Flavor text is also welcome.
    • You may not plagiarize. An immediate qualification is the punishment for this offense.
    • You must host your card on a image hosting website. postimage.org is highly recommended. imgur.com currently has issues on this site and images hosted there do not show up.
    • Fun and even humorous entries are perfectly allowed, but "troll" entries will be disqualified. If you're worried that your card may be misinterpreted as a troll card, contact a moderator before you submit. Emote-related cards will be considered a troll entry.
    • We reserve the right to classify cards as "troll" entries as we deem necessary, even if the reasoning is not explicitly stated in the rules.

    A Note on Group Submissions: If you team up with other people to submit an entry, you must enclose that information in your submission and none of you may upvote that entry. That would be considered an unfair advantage and we will treat it as vote-manipulation. You are technically voting for yourself, and that is not allowed. Failing to tell us you're in a group is also against the rules, as we'll have no choice but to assume that you withheld the information to ghost-vote your group's submission.

    Finally, know that manipulating votes in any way is strictly forbidden. Any violators will receive an official warning, and will be banned from this and all future HearthPwn Card Design Competitions.


    Posting Tutorial

    This is a posting tutorial for the website imgur.com. If you use another website, the process will be similar.

    1. It is recommended you use hearthcards.net to create your cards. Save the generated card to your device.
    2. Upload the image to imgur.com. You do not need an account.
    3. After your image is uploaded, many links will be generated. Find the "Direct link". It will have a .jpg or .png at the end of the link. Copy the link.
    4. On your hearthpwn post, find the "Insert/edit image" button: 
    5. Paste the direct link. This is recommended but not mandatory: You may choose to make the image smaller by changing the image dimensions.

     Competition Process

    Below is a list of all the deadlines for this contest:

    Preview Phase (Jan. 28, 2020 [10:00 PM CST] -  Jan. 29, 2020 [10:00 PM CST])
    The Discussion Topic is made available, previewing this week's competition theme.
    Entry and Early Voting Phase (Jan. 29, 2020 [10:00 PM CST] -  Feb. 2, 2020 [10:00 PM CST])
    During this Phase, the Submission Topic will be unlocked. You may also, of course, feel free to give early up-votes to any submissions that you like!
    Voting Phase (Feb. 2nd, 2019 [10:00 PM CST] -  Feb. 3, 2020 [10:00 PM CST])
    During this Phase, the Submission Topic will be locked, so no more entries may be submitted. Instead, use this time to browse the submissions and up-vote your favorites!
    Final Phase (Feb. 3, 2020 [10:00 PM CST] -  Feb. 4, 2020 [10:00 PM CST])
    During this Phase, the Discussion Topic will also be locked, and a Finalists Thread will go up. Discussion will be allowed to continue in the Finalists Thread, and it will also include all the qualifying finalists and a poll to decide the winner of the competition!


    How do we determine the qualifying finalists? We use the following formula:

     ab ) / ( ) = x

    Where,
    a = The total number of submissions on the same page as the submission.
    b = The total number of up-votes that the submission received.
    c = The total number of up-votes on the same page as the submission.
    x = The submission's final score.

    The formula basically measures which cards stood out the most, with the necessary assumption that each page is about equal in overall submission quality. It will be the entries that receive the highest final scores that move on to the Final Phase.

    The bottom line is that, although entries on the earlier pages of the Submission Topic are much more visible and thus receive many more up-votes than entries on later pages, you don't actually have to rush to get your entry in as soon as possible because the up-votes end up being weighted by what page your entry ends up on in order to determine its final score.

    But wait, there's more! During each Weekly Card Design Competition, each Fan Creation Forum moderators will be given a Wild Card , which they can use to advance any one entry that they feel was initially overlooked or under-appreciated to the Final Phase, regardless of its final score. Wild Cards are our way of spicing things up a bit, but please don't ask to be given one or be upset if you aren't given one. These are just supposed to be fun.
    (Also, it should go without saying that, while we moderators are allowed to participate in the competitions, we are not allowed to benefit from Wild Cards.)


    Rewards

    Bragging rights are always awesome, but as usual, we do offer a couple of HearthPwn site rewards to competition winners:
    Their card forever immortalized in our Winners' Gallery!
    And a unique Avatar Border & " Card Design Champion " Title, as depicted below!

    Hey guys I just wanted to be forthright, we are trying a bit behind on the voting polls. We're all pretty busy and are doing our best to keep the actual contests running. Suffice it to say we will still do final polls for each contest, we're just trying to figure out the timing. Thank you for your patience, and the next contest is up now!

    Ozruk

    Throwback to Ozruk hype season. I have very clear memories of "this card was insane in testing!" that were not reflective of how it turned out. Mechanics wise ya only get one Ozruk because they fuse before the others can trigger to give you an Ozruk.

    Competition Theme: Useless Love

    • Create a card that summons, buffs, draws, synergizes with or any such positive interaction with an unloved card.
    • There's no set list for unloved cards; All ya gotta do is make a token effort to prove your card doesn't see play or isn't any good. Packfiller is a great start
    • You must reference the card by name or specific statline; For example, if you don't want to say Chillwind Yeti, nothing wrong with saying a "Neutral 4/5 minion that costs (4)."

    This is the Discussion Topic. Upvotes here do not count!
    The Current Submission Topic is here. (Previous topics here, here, and here)


    DIFFERENT SCHEDULE!

    If you've not been around for a season ender before, here's what ya gotta know. These go fast; We're giving you two days to discuss and post for each of these and one day to vote. Your card will be featured in the hall of fame, but we do not give out theme picks for these. These are more just some quick fun. 

    All discussions will take place in this forum, and there will be four separate submissions forums, so check back here every so often to get in on the next challenge.

    Also, after some internal discussion season 11 will have most of it's contests start on Thursdays now; A lot happens ingame Tuesdays and we don't want to crowd the frontpage too much on big patch days.

    Competition Theme #1: Useless Love

    This one starts immediately!

    • Create a card that summons, buffs, draws, synergizes with or any such positive interaction with an unloved card.
    • There's no set list for unloved cards; All ya gotta do is make a token effort to prove your card doesn't see play or isn't any good. Packfiller is a great start
    • You must reference the card by name or specific statline; For example, if you don't want to say Chillwind Yeti, nothing wrong with saying a "Neutral 4/5 minion that costs (4)."
    • McF4rtson says you get extra points for Chillwind Yeti; I will extend that to any no-text minion (My favorite is Carrion Grub!)

    Competition Theme #2: One Line to Rule Them All

    • All card text must fit on one line, with pretty much normal text size. We will not elaborate in the spirit of the competition.

    Competition Theme #3: Pit Gang 

    • Create a minion to fit an already existing naming scheme in Hearthstone.  Here are some examples: 

    The "Pit" cards: Pit LordPit Fighter, and Pit Crocolisk all have "Pit" in their names, and also share another trait in common -- their 5/6 statline

    The "Gang" cards: DoppelgangsterSaronite Chain Gang both contain "gang" and summon copies.

    • As long as you can identify a naming scheme (2 cards minimum), you can use it.
    • Be creative!  There are some REALLY obvious ones, that should be discouraged.  Some examples of TOO obvious schemes:   "Wolf" cards being Beasts, Ragnaros the Firelord and Ragnaros, Lightlord getting 8/8 stats, "Tron" cards being mechs -- you get the point.  Entries such as these will be pointed at and snickered about.  You won't be able to see us, but trust us, we're doing it. 

    Competition Theme #4: A Murder in Flavortown

    Rules and competition start 2/13!

     


     Discussion Topic Rules

    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. As a rule of thumb, please don't pop in here just to advertise your entry only to never be heard from again. This includes only asking short, generic 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
        • 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.

    Looking for more information about the WCDC or Fan Creations in general? Why not check out this FAQ to see if your question is answered there? You can also PM one of us Fan Creation Mods!

    Guess I'll post my idea first. Art is not in it's final decided order.

     I found my biggest issue with the various Galakronds' is none of them did anything particularly new or interesting, something that was both a strength and weakness of his predecessor hero cards. Blackhand forces two adjacent enemy minions to share all damage (If they're hit with a Whirlwind, they both take two, if one's hit with a Fiery War Axe, they both take 3) and pressures board hard, in a unique way. The invoke card welds the chosen minion randomly to an adjacent one, then deals damage. Welds cannot be stacked.

    Zerug Rush!

    Felhound Portal for reference. 2/2 Rush for flavor, 3m stealth for utility. It only triggers on enemies because otherwise I'm almost certain it could go infinite. She's a slow value generator or good to help a trade early game with some added catchup hounds.

    Annorei: Nice meme, highly overpowered.

    Hikarigami: I do think that the previously suggested "First spell a turn" suggestion would help rebalance this. My other suggestion would be that this weapon loses durability to give a Spell extra damage equal to it's cost, then probably drop it's durability to 9 (If you make it conditional then we don't have 20 damage Pyroblast shenanigans). This keeps the flavor for Fireball whilst removing the issue of 0-cost spells and also making Arcane Missiles not an insta kill. Like the concept overall.

    ScorpionSw: I do like the idea of making Pure Paladin into a new form of Highlander or non-2 cost deck. I'd stress though that there was a reason Prince Keleseth was busted, and while this can't be bounced... I'd still be careful.

    Rakio: I'd make it a class specific Legendary. It's more versatile than Mind Control Tech in what it can counter, so a class restriction feels in order. I love the idea of locking out 1-attack minions though and the idea of it in a Handbuff deck is tantalizing.

    BMcGill: Go back over the rules, all minions are capped at 3 mana. That being said... How would this interact with Reno Jackson or Nozari? While Varedis Felsong has brought some new design possibilities, he still has restrictions, and I'm not of the mind that unlimited Health is safe design space. Consider for a moment how the design on Armor restricts common triggers, and then look at cards like Priest of the Feast. The limiter on that card is having a cap, but setting no ceiling facilitates much easier versions of the Linecracker infinite armor deck. I dunno, I don't feel it's a design space that can really be explore in Hearthstone.

    GenMarleon: At first I was hesitant, but I do appreciate the idea of trading Invoke consistency for draw consistency. I think it's a decent idea.

    Screwjank: I like Iceborn Gauntlet, but not as much as I like Rattlegore. Giving your opponent both some initiative on whether you have an AoE as well as the mindgames that come from both players knowing you have it feels like a good tradeoff for what is a sufficiently busted AoE. Very nice!

    I'm in debate between these two choices, and also trying to figure out the balance on the Bladefist. To clarify, the Bladefist only can't attack if the enemy hero is Immune, but it seemed prescient to include the clause.

    "Sure, it's the last resort Ner'zhul... so why are you playing it turn 1?"

    Owing to the general inconsistency of stats between cheap demons, I elected for the Totem to be cheaper than Nerubian Egg. You can  high roll but most often you're getting something that's averaging to 3/3 with one keyword. The flavor here is that Warlocks owe their lineage to Shamans; Ner'zhul is often regarded as the first Warlock in lore.
