A reminder directly on the site would have probably done the better trick, and would attract people who may not necessarily want to join the server. It's alright that you had tried.
I think that this will see a lot of niche plays. The idea that if your deck is low, it comes out as a serious threat really cheap. With standard, I don't see a lot of decks right now that plow through the deck. In Wild this is going to be a problem. With The Demon Seed decks going through tons of their deck fast, having a threat be on board that is super cheap and gains life means that your opponent isn't necessarily going to be able to focus on pushing you health down with minions. Most control decks will just Asphyxiate or even Silence it or some equivalent... But it will still be a threat that NEEDS to be addressed.
A first turn threat that needs to be dealt with or it will cause more trouble down the road... Peasant got widely overlooked and then vastly utilized in a number of decks. Yeah, this only really impacts two classes which could limit the exposure a bit. But it is a 1 mana to draw a specific card and will cause most people to at least sacrifice 2 mana on their turn to nuke it with a hero power. It's a solid card. Far from a required card in most decks, but it totally will see play
I think that we are overlooking a key to this card... It can be discovered because it's not a 3 rune card. DK, in all it's builds, utilizes corpses. This will give you corpses with reset stats. Which can be difficult when you have buffs. However if you have some taunters on the board, this resolidifies the ability to keep your zombie wall up while you build up to something bigger. Not to mention, if you're running some deathrattle stuff, it's pretty rad.
This is awesome: the more exposure Ratchet & Clank can get, the better in my opinion. Now they just need to port the earlier titles, so people who haven't experienced this very-fun and humorous series can play it :D Rift Apart was pretty great, but newcomers won't know who anyone is lol
I apologize if there wasn't enough emphasis on the prizes, but we did mention this in our Discord: the information has been pinned in the hearth-fancreations channel since before the season began. Here on the site it was in the headline of an article when the season began, mentioned in the Card Design Conversation, and again a few times in-passing throughout the season. I'll be the first to admit we could have structured it better - this was an experiment - but the information was available.
Well I was in first place for a long time, but so much for that lol. Wailor blew by me this season, and there may be no opportunity to reclaim the throne, as it were :/
INSANE paladin card. Paladin has always have trouble reloading their board, or taking the board back. That's why Animated Broomstick was so insane in paladin, and why Cariel Roame was so good. (Even if you had like no minions on board) Paladin LOVES rushers.
Control/slower Pure paladins and BIG Paladin will probably run this. Especially BIG Paladin. Giving Kangor, Dancing King and Lead Dancer (Or the cheated out card) rush seems like a STRONG play to me. Maybe this is THE card that the deck needs?
Totem shaman probably also doesn't want this because the 1/1s will take up board space. Sure it does help out with Bloodlust, and their 1 drops so they get buffed by Anchored Totem. But i feel like they take up too much board space, and compete with better cards.
5 mana deal 15 damage to minions... I dunno about this honestly. IF the repeat triggers AFTER deathrattles, then it might be pretty good. If not then meh.
Regardless, i think this will be a discover card mostly. So expect to see this a lot when facing mages.
In terms of hunter, i don't think hunter ever wants this. Not even if their running the arcane package. No FACE no play.
Seems really inconsistant but i feel like Mech mage might try it out, and maybe Casino mage as well? Reminder that the 2 "random" secrets will ALWAYS be Objection! and Objection!. (And if the game feels spicy one of them will be a Counterspell instead.)
So a 1 drop that guarantees a specific draw, and if it's not dealt with it can draw another card. This seems nuts. In standard i think it won't be that good until there is more secret support.
In wild though.... I'm not sure if i even want to touch that mode anymore after this mini set. (Secret mage is one of my most hated decks of all time.)
Seems pretty good to me. It's kinda like Rat Trap which used to win me a bunch of games, as no one expects it. Also it being a secret makes it so rogue can discover this from Perjury and all classes can get it from Sketchy Stranger.
The fact that this triggers at the end of your opponents turn makes it so it's "guaranteed*" FACE Damage. (*unless they have a Cheat i mean Taunt minion)
I think this might be better than most people expect.
Hunter probably won't run this. Unless the meta goes super fast, in that case Big Beast Hunter might include this in order to stay alive. Or unless they REALLY need more beasts.
DK is where this gets a bit more interesting due to it being runeless. Blood DK could run it, but it will be interesting to see which card get removed in order to make space for this. But this is also a nice pay-off for some kinda Handbuff DK deck, which tends to be a 2x blood 1x Unholy deck. Also Rainbow DK could try this out.
Bad. Because of the Immune change this cannot be cheated out for 0 health. So you always have to take 5 dmg to get only a 2/2. In standard this is free dust.
In wild it might have potential with The Demon Seed. (Ugh i hate that card.)
6 mana do nothing, and if you play this when your opponent has 10 mana it's basically useless. And even if you drop this on turn 6, you basically get almost no benefit from it.
Seems nice overall, but it is quite inconsistant. I think this will be a 3 star card, mostly due to the fact that DH already has an amazing board clear + Reno Jackson effect for 1 less mana. (*ahem* Silvermoon Arcanist + Unleash Fel)
Warrior: This is a demon, so probably slots into managerie decks? Also seems alright for control-ish decks i guess? Problem for warrior is that it requires playing a bunch of weaponss (probably like 2 weapons at least) and warrior is supposed to be all about armor, so lifesteal isn't that great. And control warrior decks still have no wincon outside of Blackrock n' roll scams.
DH: DH Does have a bunch of cheap weapons, but i'm not sure if this sees play. I dunno if outcast DH even wants this, and i feel like BIG DH doesn't want to summon this off their "recruit"s. And obviously Spell DH doesn't run this.
This seems meh to me, playing 2 weapons in order to feel alright about playing this card doesn't sound that great to me.
Bad card UNTIL we get more reasons/pay-offs for NOT running triple rune cards. Also does Rainbow DK even want this? From what i know (And it's very limited knowledge) Rainbow DK needs more corpse SPENDERS not generators.
Hmm, this seems nice. But i feel like it's not worth a deck slot.
DK decks are already quite packed with important cards. I don't feel like DK wants to get rid of anything, just to make room for this card.
Paladin is where this card MIGHT have a chance. Of course Pure paladin won't run it, BUT BIG Paladin MIGHT run this card as this helps stall until they can cheat stuff out.
But let's be honest, were probably going to see this card occasionally... When it's discovered. After all, this is a runeless card so ALL DK decks can discover this. Paladin probably won't discover this now that i think about it, because most paladin decks only run Pure versions. (Which can only run Muckborn Servant as a discover option for spells)
In DH i think it could see play, mostly because cards like Foul Egg are seeing play. And if the Cage Head package ever works out, this will be a very powerful part of that deck.
This card looks decent/alright for now, Probably a 3/5. But it IS a ticking timebomb, just waiting for the right support. And once that support arrives it will become a super strong card.
The number of votes is indeed pretty sad. I guess we can keep the Fan Creations subforum alive with something else aside from Comps, as we clearly don't have the numbers. Don't know what it could be, as games (like Here's an art, make a card) also need a higher count of people than we currently have in order to stay active and this sort of thing died a while ago anyways.

Hearthstone Weekly Card Design Competition Season 6 Recap - Hearthstone Fan Community Spotlight
Wait... so there were rewards for placing top 3? I think that should've been more emphasized.
New Paladin Location - Dance Floor
INSANE paladin card. Paladin has always have trouble reloading their board, or taking the board back. That's why Animated Broomstick was so insane in paladin, and why Cariel Roame was so good. (Even if you had like no minions on board) Paladin LOVES rushers.
But in which decks does this see play?
aggresive Pure paladins probably won't run this because they have Blood Matriarch Liadrin.
Control/slower Pure paladins and BIG Paladin will probably run this. Especially BIG Paladin. Giving Kangor, Dancing King and Lead Dancer (Or the cheated out card) rush seems like a STRONG play to me. Maybe this is THE card that the deck needs?
New Paladin & Shaman Minion - Jukebox Totem
Seems bad.
Pure paladin probably doesn't want this.
Totem shaman probably also doesn't want this because the 1/1s will take up board space. Sure it does help out with Bloodlust, and their 1 drops so they get buffed by Anchored Totem. But i feel like they take up too much board space, and compete with better cards.
New Hunter & Mage Spell - Star Power
5 mana deal 15 damage to minions... I dunno about this honestly. IF the repeat triggers AFTER deathrattles, then it might be pretty good. If not then meh.
Regardless, i think this will be a discover card mostly. So expect to see this a lot when facing mages.
In terms of hunter, i don't think hunter ever wants this. Not even if their running the arcane package. No FACE no play.
New Mage Minion - Remixed Dispense-o-bot
Seems really inconsistant but i feel like Mech mage might try it out, and maybe Casino mage as well? Reminder that the 2 "random" secrets will ALWAYS be Objection! and Objection!. (And if the game feels spicy one of them will be a Counterspell instead.)
New Hunter & Mage Minion - Costumed Singer
So a 1 drop that guarantees a specific draw, and if it's not dealt with it can draw another card. This seems nuts. In standard i think it won't be that good until there is more secret support.

But this is also a nice pay-off for some kinda Handbuff DK deck, which tends to be a 2x blood 1x Unholy deck. Also Rainbow DK could try this out.
Seems mostly like a DK card to me.
New Druid Minion - Popular Pixie
Must-include for any druid deck that runs the hero power package. At worst it's Tour Guide for 1 more mana but with premium stats. This seems nuts.
New Druid & Warlock Minion - Blood Treant
Bad. Because of the Immune change this cannot be cheated out for 0 health. So you always have to take 5 dmg to get only a 2/2. In standard this is free dust.
In wild it might have potential with The Demon Seed. (Ugh i hate that card.)
New Druid & Warlock Minion - Doomkin
6 mana do nothing, and if you play this when your opponent has 10 mana it's basically useless. And even if you drop this on turn 6, you basically get almost no benefit from it.
This seems like a pack-filler to me.
New Demon Hunter Spell - Remixed Rhapsody
Seems nice overall, but it is quite inconsistant. I think this will be a 3 star card, mostly due to the fact that DH already has an amazing board clear + Reno Jackson effect for 1 less mana. (*ahem* Silvermoon Arcanist + Unleash Fel)
New Warrior/Demon Hunter Minion - Abyssal Bassist

New Death Knight & Hunter Minion - Yelling Yodeler
Well this is certainly an interesting card.
In DH i think it could see play, mostly because cards like Foul Egg are seeing play. And if the Cage Head package ever works out, this will be a very powerful part of that deck.
In Hunter this seems not that good. The best targets are probably Azsharan Saber and Sunken Saber? Maybe Defense Attorney Nathanos?
This card looks decent/alright for now, Probably a 3/5. But it IS a ticking timebomb, just waiting for the right support. And once that support arrives it will become a super strong card.
Audiopocalypse Card Reveals - Day 4
I assumed it was and thought: "oh hey, a big demon for Voidcaller and Dirge of Despair!"
Alas, no.
It should be a demon, but guess it'd be too broken
