Just wanted to point out that there's still the midexpansion and very likely there would be a bundle for 20 bucks offering darkmoon packs during that time.
I would probably hold back, given that unlike scholomance, only a few darkmoon cards are actually being played right now. Unless this offers the old gods straight up, it'll probably be better to pass.
I just can't find the art I want for Test Your Strength, so I'm giving up on it. Here's a new idea I have: a tutoring Secret! It's not MDF-related, but rather Scholomance:
One-up your opponent's play with a bigger/better spell of your own. If they play Arcane Intellect, you might draw a Blessing of Kings, for example. Open to suggestions on a better name; neither of them are working for me right now.
Edit: Because the idea is so similar, I also included Strength Competition. That's a little better for MDF.
It would be nice even for casual if there were a way to queue into random opponents who want to play control versus control. Yes you can play versus friends but that isn't the same thing.
I wish casual duels wasn't a thing and that the barrier of entry was lower for Arena and Duels. And Battlegrounds ($20 a season!). And, with all the talk about the Hearthstone economy, the barrier of entry should be lower for constructed as well. These modes are all at their best when more people are participating. I would describe myself as a casual whale, and I'm done paying for $50 pre-orders three times/year. I don't want to play a CCG simulator, I want to play the game with access to all the features, i.e. cards. They go to great lengths to create unique memes/cards and new modes, and then most people don't even get to enjoy them. I've been playing consistently since just before GvGs release, and I'm planning on taking a LONG break once I hit level 50 this season. Unless the economy gets revamped, including Arena and Duels, I'm probably not coming back next expansion cycle.
I don't suppose they plan on changing the achievement UI so you don't have to click them to get the points. Is this like the only Blizzard game that does that?
This has been through a few iterations in the past 15 minutes, originally drawing a taunt minion and reducing it's cost but I didn't think that fit warrior so this is what I've got atm
Hopefully. I think that was working for me. All I know is that I did the brawl last Wednesday a few times as warrior, so I'm assuming I had a play 3 games as x, y, or z quest, and those games counted towards it. Otherwise, I think I would've stopped.
Edit: Well it definitely didn't work for the current brawl when I tried yesterday.
I've gotten some comments on reddit stating my card is too expensive. I made it cost 5 mana with ramp in mind, but I see how a 5 mana do nothing doesn't seem very attractive. Not sure if 3 or 4 is the right spot yet. Any thoughts from you guys and gals?
Feedback!

Sothis: No, I'm afraid there isn't. :/
KANSAS: I prefer Grimstone. Nothing to criticize here.
fungusABao: I like your idea. Considering Corrupt the Waters needs quite some set up and then still doesn't draw a card like yours does, 3 mana would certainly be justified. I also think changing the name is a good idea, Lil' Rag is a Battlegrounds only thing for me.
MenacingBagel: I don't like the effect very much, I'm sorry. The art looks nice enough, though and a mech in Warrior usually works well.
DavnanKillder: Your cards may look a bit complicated at first glance, but I really like your creativity and how you manage to find cool and fitting art. That said, there's a typo in them: it should be "its", not "it's ".
DestroyerR: Solid card, but not too exciting imho.
Demon: Nice to see other people observing votes and things that might influence them. My current theory is that submitting very early might actually help. That said, I like your card and rated it 4 stars for now, but I would have given Feathershot 5 because I'm a sucker for Deathrattle Hunter cards.
grumpymonk: Arlizz feels too close to Instructor Fireheart for my taste. Freak Show doesn't look very flavorful to me - while dragons and murlocks are a Paladin thing, they don't fit into Darkmoon Faire very well. Heart of the Wild looks good.
shaveyou: Nice card, I like it. It fits the Scholomance Beast theme for Druid and Hunter very well. Some juicy Deathrattle targets in Hunter would very much like to see this printed. Very cool idea!
linkblade: Interesting idea, but you're right, the art isn't fitting very well yet. I'm also not sure if people will reward the creativity of the effect or punish you for doing something unprecedented.
Wailor: I really like your card, good work! The only thing I would have liked you to change is make the discard either random or targeted (highest cost or something). Right now I'd interpret it as freely targeted and that's the reason I gave only 4 stars, since this would require a new form of interaction with your hand.
I'm glad someone has found this useful. Alleycat is certainly a good card for this boss, and just about every hunter deck I found ran it. The only reason this one didn't is because I didn't have wild cards at the time, and wanted to keep all my LK decks standard.
Make any substitutions you want. For example, I put Halazzi because I had Halazzi. Those Lynxes make good food for Scavenging Hyena. Just don't spend too much dust if you can avoid it.
If you're good enough to hit Diamond 3, you're good enough to hit legend. One night you will log in and play and the match finder will not send you many, or any secret mages, and you will roll your way up to legend.
My tip for laddering, YMMV obviously, is to plan to play until you lose twice. After I lose twice I start getting annoyed and I don't play as well.
I agree. I used to tune in to parts of tournaments, but it’s all lost its allure to me. Seems to be a general lack of enthusiasm amongst the “pro” crowd, but that could just be my own interpretation
how to put it in another way. hmm I don't wanna wear mask, this is fine. Encouraging other to not wear a mask is also fine. I don't eat meat, this is fine. Encouraging other to not eat meat is also fine. I'm really not bothering you at all. This is only a message. It's just proved that I'm stupid. You can ignore me entirely. Even vote me down.
It's up to you to follow my stupidity or not. You have a "choice". Others too. The blame is on me. Feel free to find another way if you don't agree.
Decided to submit early. There were a few cards that were close to stepping on my toes although they weren't particularly well made, so I wanted to put my version out there fast before anyone else did.

Kill Lich King w/Hunter
I'm glad someone has found this useful. Alleycat is certainly a good card for this boss, and just about every hunter deck I found ran it. The only reason this one didn't is because I didn't have wild cards at the time, and wanted to keep all my LK decks standard.

Is control dying? Serious question...
Control warrior is ruling already. This deck seems almost unstoppable now as it got another win condition in ETC.
Before Darkmoon control shaman did pretty well.
So, no, there is already a super powerful control deck.
Start of an expansion is always the time for aggro decks that are easier to build.
No need to lose it only because of the normal early meta.

6 days is more than enough. Realistically all you need is one lucky streak and you're basically there already.
And if you don't make it, there's always next month, as Shuckie said. No need to get stressed over a cardback.
