Hey, look! Some cards!

Open the Waygate : Look at how nice this is.
Frost Lich Jaina : All neat, organized, and concise.
Aluneth : What a great post.

Wait, what are you doing?

Seriously, please don't.

This is painful. Why are you doing this?

You are a monster.

In this Phase, you will each construct your class's Basic Set . Here are the requirements for your Class Creation Competition Phase II Entry (And these may vary due to certain challenges)

• CLASS, HERO, AND HERO POWER
  There are just a few elements of your class that you will repeat from your Phase I entry to remind us who and what we're dealing with. If you'd like to repeat anything from your class's introductory explanation, including its flavor or whatever you believe makes it interesting or unique mechanically, that's fine, but try to keep it brief.
  • Note that it is okay if you've decided to make some minor alteration to your Hero Power since Phase I.
• EXAMPLE BASIC CARDS
  We do not want to see your Class's entire Basic Set out in the open.
  
• You are allowed up to five (5) example Basic cards out in the open. You may, below these cards, give brief explanations of them, why you decided to showcase them, how they exemplify what makes your class unique, and so on.
• As these are Basic cards, they should have no expansion watermark and no rarity gem.
• If your example cards produce any unique token cards, those must be put behind a spoiler (Inserting a Spoiler can be done by clicking the ! symbol on the top bar of the text editor.).
• There are many keywords that do not appear on any existing Basic Card, and they may not appear on any of your Basic Cards either: Counter , Deathrattle , Enrage , Immune , Secret , Silence , Stealth , and any other keyword that has been introduced in future expansions (e.g. Adapt ). In addition, there are many general mechanics that did not appear either, so you must avoid expansion-specific mechanics like Spellstones and C'Thun synergy, and so on. Other such mechanics like Elemental and Dragon synergy aren't disallowed per se shouldn't be used unless your class is specifically themed around Elemental or Dragons.
• Just as Choose One , Combo , and Overload do not appear on any Basic cards, neither may any of your class's unique keywords appear on any of its Basic cards.
• REMAINING BASIC SET
  The remaining five (5) cards of your class's Basic Set must be presented behind a Spoiler Block (Inserting a Spoiler can be done by clicking the ! symbol on the top bar of the text editor.). These cards must obey the same rules are your examples cards with regards to expansion watermarks, rarity gems, and what keywords you may not use.

In this Phase, you will each construct your class's Classic Set . Here are the requirements for your Class Creation Competition Phase III Entry:

• CLASS, HERO, AND HERO POWER
  There are just a few elements of your class that you will repeat from your Phase I entry, to remind us who and what we're dealing with. If you'd like to repeat anything from your class's introductory explanation, including its flavor or whatever you believe makes it interesting or unique mechanically, that's fine, but try to keep it brief.
• EXAMPLE CLASSIC CARDS
  We do not want to see your Class's entire Classic Set out in the open.
  
• You are allowed up to five (5) example Classic cards out in the open. You may, below these cards, give brief explanations of them, why you decided to showcase them, how they exemplify what makes your class unique, and so on.
• As these are Classic cards, they should have the Classic watermark, and you should include 6 Common cards, 5 Rare cards, 3 Epic cards, and 1 Legendary minion.
• If your example cards produce any unique token cards, those must be put behind a spoiler (Inserting a Spoiler can be done by clicking the ! symbol on the top bar of the text editor.).
• There are many keywords that do not appear on any existing Classic Card, and they may not appear on any of your Basic Cards either: Discover , Adapt , Lifesteal , Recruit , or any other keyword that has been introduced in future expansions. In addition, there are many general mechanics that did not appear either, so you must avoid expansion-specific mechanics like Spellstone and C'Thun synergy, and so on. Other such mechanics like Elemental and Dragon synergy aren't disallowed per se shouldn't be used unless your class is specifically themed around Elementals or Dragons.
• REMAINING CLASSIC SET
  The remaining ten (10) cards of your class's Basic Set must be presented behind a Spoiler Block (Inserting a Spoiler can be done by clicking the ! symbol on the top bar of the text editor.). These cards must obey the same rules are your examples cards with regards to expansion watermarks, rarity gems, and what keywords you may not use.
• BASIC SET
  You should include your completed Basic Set from Phase II behind a Spoiler (Inserting a Spoiler can be done by clicking the ! symbol on the top bar of the text editor.) either before or after your Classic Set material. It is fine if these cards have undergone some minor modification since the end of Phase II, but thy must still adhere to all of Phase II's requirements.
  

By having your class's Classic Set approved of, you've shown that you can make a completely functional class. But functional isn't good enough. Your class must also have room to grow beyond that. For this phase, you'll be proving that it can by giving your class Whispers of the Old Gods and One Night in Karazhan cards. Here are the requirements for your Class Creation Competition Phase IV Entry:

• CLASS, HERO, AND HERO POWER
  There are just a few elements of your class that you will repeat from your Phase I entry, to remind us who and what we're dealing with. If you'd like to repeat anything from your class's introductory explanation, including its flavor or whatever you believe makes it interesting or unique mechanically, that's fine, but try to keep it brief.
• EXAMPLE WOG & ONiK CARDS
  We do not want to see your Class's entire WOG and ONiK Sets out in the open.
  
• You are allowed up to five (5) example cards out in the open. You may, below these cards, give brief explanations of them, why you decided to showcase them, how they exemplify what makes your class unique, and so on.
• For this phase, you should have 3 Common cards, 3 Rare cards, 2 Epic cards, and 1 Legendary minion with the Whispers of the Old Gods watermark. These may not have Adapt , Spellstone Upgrades, Quest , etc., as those mechanics did not exist until later expansions.
• You should also have 2 Common cards and 1 Rare card with the One Night in Karazhan watermark. These may not have Quest , Lifesteal , Jade Golems , etc., as those mechanics did not exist until later expansions.
• If your example cards produce any unique token cards, those must be put behind a spoiler (Inserting a Spoiler can be done by clicking the ! symbol on the top bar of the text editor.).
• REMAINING WOG & ONiK CARDS
  The remaining seven (7) cards of your class's WOG and ONiK Sets must be presented behind a Spoiler Block (Inserting a Spoiler can be done by clicking the ! symbol on the top bar of the text editor.). These cards must obey the same rules are your examples cards with regards to expansion watermarks, rarity gems, and what keywords you may not use.
• BASIC AND CLASSIC SETS
  You should include your completed Basic and Classic Sets from Phases II and III behind a Spoiler (Inserting a Spoiler can be done by clicking the ! symbol on the top bar of the text editor.) either before or after your Phase IV material. It is fine if these cards have undergone some minor modification, but they must still adhere to all of their original Phase requirements.
  

Congratulations on being a semi-finalist! With positively received Whispers of the Old Gods and One Night in Karazhan sets, you've proven that your class's concept and mechanics have room for expansion. Now, there's only one last thing to do: narrow down the best of the best. For this phase, you'll be giving your class Mean Streets of Gadgetzan and Journey to Un'Goro cards. Here are the requirements for your Class Creation Competition Phase V Entry:

• CLASS, HERO, AND HERO POWER
  There are just a few elements of your class that you will repeat from your Phase I entry, to remind us who and what we're dealing with. If you'd like to repeat anything from your class's introductory explanation, including its flavor or whatever you believe makes it interesting or unique mechanically, that's fine, but try to keep it brief.
• EXAMPLE MSG & JtU CARDS
  We do not want to see your Class's entire MSG and JtU Sets out in the open.
  
• You are allowed up to five (5) example cards out in the open. You may, below these cards, give brief explanations of them, why you decided to showcase them, how they exemplify what makes your class unique, and so on.
• For this phase, you should have 3 Common cards, 3 Rare cards, 2 Epic cards, and 1 Legendary minion with the Mean Streets of Gadgetzan watermark. These may not have Adapt , Recruit , or other mechanics that did not exist until later expansions.
• Your class must belong to a crime family, but it is up to you to determine how you want to go about that!
  • You may have it join one of the existing Crime Families (Grimy Goons, Kabal, or Jade Lotus). You would not make any Tri-class cards as they already exist.
  • You may invent an entirely new crime family with its own unique mechanical gimmick(s). This new Crime Family would be comprised of your class and two other classes, which can either be official Hearthstone classes (e.g. Mage) or other fan-made classes within this competition. You would then need to create 3 tri-class cards for this new Crime Family ( 1 Common minion, 1 Rare minion, and 1 Legendary minion) , and like the existing crime families, your family's Rare minion should just have the card text "Battlecry: Discover a ______, ______, or ______ card.". To be clear, you would not need to make any class-specific cards for the other two classes you select to be in your class's crime family if you choose to go that route.
• You should also have 3 Common cards, 3 Rare cards, 2 Epic cards, and 1 Legendary minion, and 1 Legendary Quest with the Journey to Un'Goro watermark. These may not have Lifesteal , Death Knight cards, or other mechanics that did not exist until later expansions.
• If your example cards produce any unique token cards, those must be put behind a spoiler (Inserting a Spoiler can be done by clicking the ! symbol on the top bar of the text editor.).
• REMAINING MSG & JtU CARDS
  The remaining cards of your class's MSG and JtU Sets must be presented behind a Spoiler Block (Inserting a Spoiler can be done by clicking the ! symbol on the top bar of the text editor.). These cards must obey the same rules are your examples cards with regards to expansion watermarks, rarity gems, and what keywords you may not use.
• BASIC, CLASSIC, WOG, and ONiK SETS
  You should include your completed Basic, Classic, WOG, and ONiK Sets from Phases II-IV behind a Spoiler (Inserting a Spoiler can be done by clicking the ! symbol on the top bar of the text editor.) either before or after your Phase V material. It is fine if these cards have undergone some minor modification, but they must still adhere to all of their original Phase requirements.
  

Here we are, finalists! In the last phase of our competition, you'll be giving us your class's Knights of the Frozen Throne and Kobolds & Catacombs sets, as well as constructing your own custom Finale Topics:

• FINALE TOPIC
  There will be no Submission Topic for the competition Finale. Instead, you will create your own Finalist Topics. All that you have to do is create a normal topic here on the Fan Creation Forum and title it as such:
  [Class Competition Finalist] DEATHWING
  (Replace DEATHWING with your own class's name, of course.)
  Then, bring it to our attention, and we'll link to it from this topic. That's it. How you format and present your final product is entirely up to you. You've put in a lot of work to come this far, so you've earned the right to show us your completed original Class however you think is best.
  
  
  
• KFT & KnC CARDS
  In addition to including the required material from all previous phases, you must add the following:
  • 3 Common cards, 3 Rare cards, 2 Epic cards, and 1 Legendary minion, and 1 Legendary Hero card with the Knights of the Frozen Throne watermark. These may not have Recruit , Spellstone Upgrades, or other mechanics that did not exist until later expansions.
  • 3 Common cards, 3 Rare cards, 2 Epic cards, and 1 Legendary minion, and 1 Legendary Weapon with the Kobolds and Catacombs watermark.
  • And of course, it wouldn't be a Game Show if your Finalist Topic didn't have...
    
    P R E S E N T A T I O N !
    
    
  
  
• EXAMPLE CARDS
  These don't need to be part of your Finale Topic, but by the end of the Submission Phase, you should send ShadowsOfSense 8 example cards from your completed collection, preferably via PM, to be included in the Final Poll Topic. The Final Poll topic will look very similar to this one from our first CCC, except that no token cards will be included.
