Competition Theme: Inconsistently Consistent
The wording is getting a little weird around here, and it's time to embrace that.
- You must make a card that is functional, but is not consistently worded with other similar cards or doesn't follow conventional wording rules.
In celebration of the first of April, it's time to get a little bit wacky.
As always, we can be reached through Discord or here on the site via PM if you have any issues to report.

It's time to get crazy. If you've ever wanted to make a really stupid and nonsensical card for any competition, now is the time to do that.
With that in mind, while a victory in this competition will still be displayed in the Winner's Gallery and will still count towards your leaderboard total, we've decided that this competition will not count towards the tally for the prize at the end of the season. Perhaps some more serious side competitions will count, but given the theme and context of this one, it's most appropriate that it doesn't count.
This is also a very experimental and risky idea that may not play out and I will also admit that it very narrowly avoided being dropped entirely, so you'll have to let us know if you like it or not.
With that in mind, it's time to get out there and make some truly unglued cards.
Another Lightning Bolt does a totally different thing than Lightning Bolt. I don't know what you're talking about.
As for Guy In A Bear Suit. Is it a Beast? Is it not a Beast? Who knows? Either way, it's a tribal wording inconsistency, so I think it counts.
I have this card I almost used for the Christmas comp some years ago.
Synergies aside, this card is just a vanilla 4/5/4. And even then, it wouldn't even be the worst Freeze Shaman card from KFT.
Not sure if the Squire fills the requirement. If not i'll word it more weirdly.

I'll boop you
I have yet to properly wrap my head around what we're supposed to do here / what would make for a cool card text, but I generally love special competitions so thumbs up for hosting this!
I notice I am confused. Something I believe isn't true. How do I know what I think I know?

Sure, let's meme.
Effect: sets minions in your deck to X/X+1 where X is the minion's cost.
Flavor Text: Lives high in the mountains, yet somehow spiritually still feels like he would be most at home in a pit.

Edit: "Hearthcards -> Download full-sized card -> Imgur" yielded a weirdly huge pic to insert into forum post. "Download half-sized card" is the current post, but still seems too big. What am i doing wrong? It's my first time...
If you click the button "Insert/Edit Image" and then paste the image URL in the Source box, it should display "Dimension" numbers which you can edit yourself (adjusting one number will automatically adjust the other to match the proportions). 250 is the recommended size to use.
I've taken the liberty of editing your post for you so that your image uses that size.
I've waited years to make that stupid card, and now it's the time! Feedback on thursday.

Amazing card, 5 stars from me!
But for Yogg's sake check the timeline in the initial post, you can only submit until Wednesday!

First round of feedback. It's gonna be very subjective, given the nature of this comp, so keep that in mind.
My only suggestion is making it a Demon Hunter card. The flavor of treating your Demon like pets feels appropriate for a class named Demon HUNTER.
I'm not a fan of your other cards, though.
"Silence is sometimes better than speech."
btw This card cannot be cast or revealed.
Feedback!

I could not pass up this opportunity for one of my favorite hearthstone memes.
I have this idea for a Resurrect/Evolve dual-class card but I'm not sure which version is best:
Both versions of this card function as a more fun type of resurrect Priest, since instead of dealing with the same minion over and over you face off against other random minions that they transform into. This card also breaks the rules by being a dual-class and dual-spell school card but given the spirit of the competition, I think some leniency on that front makes sense.
Not gonna lie, I'm really not even sure how to give feedback how unconventional the theme is.
For some weird reason I thought it was Monday when I posted that comment, oh well, anyway, here's the feedback, sooner than promissed, and given the nature of the comp, I've decided to be more straight forward on my comments as well:
CursedParot - That is very cute, i like it, and I think the second version is the beast.
Dolphinslayer - Personally I think the "guy" meme is more than saturated right know, but that is just me, sure it still has its fans out there.
hammer12win - Honesestly this one is my favorite so far, very creative and cute, I love it.
Gear5PhoenixMan - I'll have to agree with the others, usually i would give suggestion on how to improve the card, but I'm really sure what to suggest, sorry.
GoodEgor - The art is bad, kinda hard to see what's going on, but otherwise, loved your card.
BasilAnguis - Fetch is the best for sure, the others are kinda meh.
Wailor - I mean, it is dumb (in a good way) but think it could be dumber if you messed with the flavour a bit more. Not sure what to suggest, but i smell a 5/5 with the right tweaks.
Demonxz95 - I think i'm only one here that actually preffer the Guy in a Bear Suit, I find it way more creative and unic, but once again I'm sure what to suggest to improve it.

And that's the beauty of it. I love the chaos you've created here!

If you're looking to return to a bit of normalcy, our next main competition just started, but this competition will still be running concurrently.
It was originally called "Anarchy Reigns" when I suggested it sarcastically lel
You have about two and half hours left to submit, better hurry!

Submitted Fetch as is, thanks for feedback everyone. Remained warlock because, well, warlocks have demon pets in WoW. Demonology is the only spec that does all it's damage via pets besides beast mastery hunters. Demon hunters would never be so friendly with demons, still feels so weird to me they got demon synergy.
I'll boop you
Who the fuck said this was a funny competition
Congratulations to Loknax for the win.
I think this is the first time in my life that I've scored in the bottom 3, and given the theme of the competition, I will consider that an accomplishment. XD
Hard Core is still going on if you feel that you need some normalcy.
Congrats to Loknax!
