Depends on the message board's owners. I can name you a pair of web forums in NA where you'll also get banned for supporting gay marriage or equal rights for all people.

What bothers me extremely is that "your" site never gives arguments, you always say women have less rights, women are treated badly. Where is the evidence? these are all subjective statements. Just like my statements, but with a difference. I can prove to you with evidence that women, because they look good, get certain jobs easier than the average white man. Women have it easier as streamers.
YES women have it harder when it comes to promotions, when it comes to getting into the really good positions. But they have other privileges.
Why do people become trans? Why do men who seem to be doing so much better decide to become trans and become a woman? Because women obviously enjoy certain privileges that some weak men are jealous of. So they become a woman to have a better life. For example, women are allowed to wear all kinds of clothes - pants, skirts, dresses, everything. Men are more limited in that respect. Women get as said easier jobs like secretary, waiter, cashier in supermarket, office worker Women have it easier in so many areas. Of course also in many areas more difficult. So is the world so is the life. Why should we change that with force? It is just foreseeable that women will continue until we are oppressed or until all people in the world are women. we must not let this happen! Just because you yell so loud and ban everyone who doesn't agree with you, doesn't mean we aren't there and it doesn't mean you are right! And in the majority you are not at all!

Lis without watcher would be a good champion. The watcher doesn't need to exist and it shouldn't. It's way too easy to get the watcher out and the deck is already good without it.
I'd rather watch a literal potato rope for an hour than watch Kripp joylessly sulk his way through a game, so I'm extra happy for this.
Particularly because this is an exhibition event, a more diverse and representative group of players seems like a no-brainer. It's such a basic idea that it should've been done ages ago.
For one, you appeal to more people, and therefore a bigger market. For every gamerboi who actually refuses to watch, there's going to be at least one Avelline/Luna Stan, plus X, where X is a nonzero sum of people that are watching because women are playing.
For two, you model a better, bigger society by having more representation. More people involved and excited? Awesome! We'll have better content. And wait, if there's better content, Blizzard makes more money. Which means more support for the game.
If all it takes changing the demographics of who participates in exhibition events to slowly improve the overall quality of the game (obviously there's more to it, and more to do) then what possible legitimate reason is there to be opposed?
TLDR: Kripp is boring, better representation is good.
Both cards look pretty ok, I think I like Jinx more. Also, I wonder if it wouldn't fit Hunter, like Boommaster Flark, as well as the effect is kinda like Hunter card. It's not necessary though, if you don't see Jinx as hunter.

I realy like both of these ideas. However, I don't think Teemo has to be demon, and Heimerdinger should probably be cheaper, and summon weaker Robot. Also, it may be truth that Teemo should have diferent watermark.
@KANSAS

I think that Nautilus is better. I'm not sure if it needs different wording, i'm not sure if there's much confusion for the effect currently.

Not realy a fan of random Keywords, some are pretty busted, like Immune or Mega Windfury, while some, like Rush or Poisonous won't even matter when generated randomly. Also, does this generate only evergreen keywords, or any keywords in game, so can just go Dormant and go useless?

Not sure if we should make Battlegrounds cards. The first interpratation of Jarvan is ok, but looks too much like just Rush, Divine Shield, what's not realy legendary. The second Jarvan is more unique, but as Demon said, it's not probably best as Prime Maybe you could name King Jarvan? Ashe is good, but maybe you could make it Freeze the highest Attack enemy minion, instead of a random one?
Ok, so this is my first entry ever so I'm not sure how good the card is in terms of balance, but this is it:
Rather than going for a HS version of the card that LoR has, I went for an approach that is closer to the gameplan Garen has in LoL. And since Warriors already have Whirlwind effects (a bit like Garen's E) and Executes (Garen's ultimate), it only felt natural to create something that uses those effects on a single card. Stats also represent the fact that Garen is more of a tank than a pure damage dealer and the lack of a keyword represents his lack of hard CC in his kit.
EDIT: How can I put custom watermarks? Never mind, found it. EDIT2: Feedback:

Leblanc feels fine, I like the deathrattle synergy, she's what Vectus wishes he could be. Jinx feels a bit strong, 5 damage is a lot especially considering she fits in decks that already deal a lot of damage very fast.

I love Teemo. Not the champion, your card. I feel the design represents what he is perfectly in LoL (especially the Demon tag). As far as Heimer, will the T-Hex also gain the stats from the magnetized minions or will it be just looking for keywords?

Teemo hinself doesn't really scream bombs. Maybe use the Omega Squad skin, that feels more in tune with that effect. Nautilus feels like a worse Soulwarden, but I guess it does represent the LoR card perfectly.

I was weirded out by the effect when I read it the first time, but I guess that's because I didn't know her LoR effect. While I get that Lissandra has the Ice flavor, that isn't represented by the card, so I feel like her effect belongs more on a pure druid card.
Nerdymcnerd:
Show Spoiler
Gain a random keyword feels very highrolly. Maybe just select from a list of specific keywords, like "gain +1/+1 and Taunt/Divine Shield/Windfury/Poisonous/Stealth for one turn (at random)" might look better, although it's also a pain in the ass to keep that at 4 lines of text.
anchorman:

Jarvan IV feels weird. I get that you're trying to translate his LoR effect into HS, but I guess his power and uniqueness comes from the "Flash from MTG" effect rather than the attack itself. I don't see how that effect can be translated into HS, though. The Prime version could be smaller in the first half (like a 3 mana 4/2) with a bigger, chunkier version on the second half (like 7 mana 10/10) and it just feels more unique.
Ashe looks fine, not much to point there.

Make the attack change temporary or it's just too powerful. Something like "change its attack to 1 until their next turn"

I like the 2nd Gangplank more, it's more in style with what Warriors sometimes do (maybe you can even let him shuffle two kegs). The 1st version is mostly just Living Bomb, which although interesting, isn't exactly what the kegs do.
Ignoring that one incident, it's nice to see how civil this comment section is for the most part. This is definitely one reason why I love being part of this community and being a writer for the site.
Updated the cards, now T-Hex has a passive effect that makes Heimer Immune.

Demon: Between LeBlanc and Jinx, I prefer Jinx. Good payoff for Aggro that's not overly strong. Heck, you could probably get away with having her draw a card at the end of turn. Side-note: what's wrong with having our champs in existing expansions?
KANSAS: I think you're trying too much to recreate the LoR versions of the cards. Try to find something that's more flavorful, even if the effect is very different from the LoR one. Teemo and Naut are very bad cards to try to translate directly, since they have a lot of support cards that make them work.
Wailor: Of the 2, I prefer MF. The card is flavorful and the fact it triggers both sides of the board makes it balanced.
linkblade: Odd classes for Revival synergy. Druid has a precedent with Hadronox, but not much else. I know Lissandra is ice-cold and all, but I feel this would make more sense in *shudders* Preist.
NerdyMcNerd: Pretty much a simplified version of the LoR card. It works well, but it's probably going to be real crazy with all the generation HS has. I assume it won't gain a keyword it already has?
anchorm4n: I prefer Jarvan, a 6 mana 6/4 that deals 6 to a minion. The formatting on the card is weird, though. The Prime idea is also interesting. Not so sure about the BG one, since you use different art.
Not disabling comments is great because it allows us to figure out who we don't want in the community.
Right now, you're seriously trying to defend the person who discriminates against "transgenders, gays, african americans, female"? I don't care what part of the world you live in. If you want to access this website, you need to be more inline with how we think today and not how we thought a few decades ago.
I'd be banned if I went to a Russian message board and stated I supported gay marriage. I'd be banned if I went to a Chinese message board and stated their dear leader looked like Winnie the Pooh or how black lives matter. I'd be kidnapped if I went to a North Korean message board and talked about what real daily life is like.
The inverse happens here. You want to play ball on the North American court? You best be familiar with what we believe to be true and not step on our toes.
Ultimately though, no one is being banned for wrong thoughts, people are being banned for being assholes. There is a huge difference there.
If you want to bash people, this isn't the site to do it and we don't want you here.
Glad to see more representation! I personally really appreciated Jia's bit aswell. Representation matters because it allows more people to have a rolemodel who is like them, which in turn gets more people to play the game, and want to compete in it. It helps normalize that games are for everyone. And will hopefuly help stop some of the toxicity. But more importantly is speaking up when people are spreading their vile in various chats. Also good on Kripp and Regis for giving up their spots. At the end of the day it is money for them, so I can imagine it being hard for everyone to give up their place.
I do want to say I appreciate the community here that flux and everyone really helped create, these are, sadly, controversial topics and I have noticed that most people approach it in a very good way.
Last but not least. This apparantly needs to be said: Freedom of Speech, protects you against the government, not from consquences that private organisations or people impose on you.
I agree that as the owner of the website you have full rights to ban people whenever you want, but...
What is the purpose of comment sections at all, if people are allowed to post only subjectively "right" comments, and are afraid to get banned just for sharing subjectively "wrong" thoughts?
Moreover, this is not a political site. I personally see outof.cards as one of the best Hearthstone-related sites. Since articles with controversial topics not directly related to gameplay bring waves of unwanted comments, I'd suggest disabling comment sections for such articles by default.
Unfortunately the ability to experiment and discover is little to none.
It's there, but it is certainly very limited compared to Standard and Wild, and you might just get flamed for trying. I made an Alarm-o-Bot Druid, and got flamed by a Freeze Mage who had the gall to say I was an idiot for playing it (you can guess who won that game...).
Equipped with the power of hindsight, I'm glad I had a far-from-complete collection back in the day because it was the inability to play most meta decks that made deck building interesting. I'm even more glad my pals down below rank 15 had incomplete collections too :P
this Cancel culture is everywhere and admins of this site ban a member for speaking out his opinion.
he is a russian(i am not) he has other mentallaty and other values and you ban him for reaching out his opinion?
this topic makes me very sad...
yes woman should treated well but they cry out so loud until they get what they want like little babies.
Kripp and regis for sure give the seats to them only because they cry.
My english is not so good because of that i cant say much other than this is wrong and we dont give babies a lollipop only why it cries.
giving the little child that cries everytime what he wants is not healthy and like this we should handle this and every topic: Nerfs, trans, Woman.
Woman have so much more rights and oportunities as men have but noone cares about that.
You can ban me too for this but i stand for freedom of speech what you guys and the whole Movement of womens does is ignoring and blocking counter opinions because they think there opinion is the true and only one ! and no its not! there are more than one right opinion!
and this socialism that gets more and more attention is wrong and cuts our freedom! PPl we need to stand up dont let the Socialists win!
You just made up the idea that this is "enforced equality," so no duh you're getting pushback on it. No one can predict what would've happened if two competitors didn't volunteer for this. Arguing with you about a hypothetical you imagined to get angry about is moronic.
"earned" by virtue of being a well-known streamer/creator.
All of this wouldn't even be an issue if they just reworked the whole thing to be a rotating panel of creators that allows lesser known ones to get a spotlight instead of just saying "more women for the statistics so we have to cut someone else"
Again, what would have been the outcome if none of the current invites were willing to give up their spots? Would they just be forced out under flimsy pretenses?
I don't get why it is so hard to understand why I object to enforced equality at the cost of the other side?
In what universe has anyone on this planet EVER had "inviolable freedom of speech"? You can write a thousand letters to the editor of a newspaper, have them never publish a single one, and pose absolutely no threat to the concept of freedom of speech. It is a legal doctrine which states that the government can't stop you from starting up your OWN newspaper. It has absolutely nothing to do with your ability to publish in someone else's newspaper, which is what you're asking for in this forum.
If you make up a right for yourself out of thin air, yeah, I'd expect that very few people will respect your "right." Oy.
It only seems hypocritical if you don't think about it very hard. People who say "representation doesn't matter" as you just did usually think that way because they themselves are well-represented. Try to muster up a little empathy and listen to what other people are saying about this instead of assuming you know everything about the issue already.
