I found it humorous that the one restriction besides the submission having to be a 1-cost spell was that, "It cannot be Pepe."  Is there some story behind this?  (Please pardon my ignorance if this is a dead horse that I'm asking someone to beat on.)

TL:DR : Blizzard said that Pepe memes are offensive.

There was previously a competition to design a card for Beast Druid. Not just a Druid Beast or Druid card that interacted with Beasts, but one which would fit the playstyle - or assumed playstyle - of a Beast Druid deck.

Unfortunately, that's not really an easy rule to enforce, so the actual rules of the competition were just to create a Druid Beast or Druid card that interacted with Beasts.

The winner of the competition was a card based on the WoW pet Pepe, a cute little bird. Many people - including the theme creator and I assume this week's theme creator - felt that the card would be terrible in a Beast Druid deck, and only won because it was cute. It was something of a hot topic for the few weeks after it won, at least among competition regulars.

Another competition that didn't even have an announcement. Where have these been moved to?

There are a lot of great entries here! 

Nice work, everyone who made a card.  :-)

making Friends looks pretty good for minion less hunter    

Shrapnel Blast has the same exact card art as the Magic: The Gathering card called Shrapnel Blast. Not original.

"Counter Strike" is a good one but I opt more for "Make Friends"

Escape Plan is broken with Keleseth.

Except Shadowstep exists.

It means it's a basic card. In this case it's probably a mistake though.

Rotating into a base set near you!

For some reason, this is now 2nd competition in a row for which I missed the announcement. Where was it broadcasted that this competition was underway? I usually found it in the main page on Heartphwn, but I just looked and I cannot find in under older news. Has it moved somewhere?

Pepe is a World of Warcraft non-combat pet who is has several related in game Easter eggs, as well as raiding achievements. In short, he's cute and in WoW.

Would play goblin hot potato with lorewalker cho lul.

i like how community cards seem far superior than the ones blizzard made lel

Counter strike is great. if real it would be 2 mana but still really cool 

No it wouldnt, its a paladin secret, so it HAS to be 1 mana
