A Rogue legendary that can copy enemy minions when it attacks them. I think it'd be pretty versatile, since early game it could get you minions for tempo and late game it could get you something big.
Might be too boring, but it's what I first thought of:
For the cost of a Truesilver Champion, you can pull a copy of one directly from your deck and summon it into your hands, Thor-style. Works even better if you pull an expensive weapon (Vinecleaver, Silver Sword, Val'anyr, etc.). I gave it to the Paladin because they seem the most likely to have a "conjure a weapon from out of nowhere" ability. Their weapons are also fairly reined in, as well, so there will be no 4-mana Gorehowl to the face.
I apologize if this competition was too hard for a lot of people. In retrospect, this competition might've been too hard for it only being the second one on this site.
Regarding The Rekindler, I don't think it would be appropriate to nerf it unless you can come up with a couple of other decks where it's truly oppressive.
If Hecarim is pretty much the only time Rekindler is a problem, that points to the real problem being Hecarim. In fact, Rekindler could make a good canary in the coal mine for detecting troublesome Champions in general.
I've been trying desperately to dream up a way to combo Darius -> The Rekindler -> The Harrowing into a board full of 10 attack overwhelms, but I just can't do it.
I would really like to have a music themed competition where you would have to make a card based off of a song.
Or you could do some other kind of pop-culture type thing where you make a card based off of a movie/book. Or maybe even another game. But I think I would enjoy music the best.
Pop-culture competitions are notoriously difficult to manage, because not everyone has experienced the same things. What if you make a card referencing a book no one else has read, or reference a "classic" movie that not everyone remembers? It's doubly difficult because our website is not relegated to a particular nation. Someone who visits Out of Cards from the United States might have read/heard/watched different things than someone from Norway, England, France, Japan, or wherever.
We had similar prompts in the past at HearthPwn, and they were a bit of a mess :(
Pretty much what Linky said, tho pop-culture references, if done right (in any theme), can be obviously a big plus for the creator and can garner more votes, Blizzard does them too after all.

Hmmm. Maybe MurlocAggroB was even closer than we thought and the first card is from the classic set and the second from Battlegrounds. If that's the case, I'm out since I don't play BG. All I know is that the classic dragons recently became BG heros, but I don't remember those having stats.
Also please don't edit answers into posts when there's a lot of traffic on the thread, how are we to find out who was quicker?
There's lots of things to try and learn in this game, and FrostyFeet and DoubleSummon have already given some nuggets so I'll just build upon specifically talking about champions. The way I see it, there are 3 types of champions in this game:
Those that you need to build your deck around to get value (Lux, Yasuo, Thresh, Fiora, Ashe)
So the secret to good deck building (and I assume you're going to be homebrewing decks for a couple of weeks until you get some vaults and rewards under your belt) is understanding how each card--champions especially but this applies to all cards--is synergizing with the rest of your deck. Don't feel like you need to spend wildcards yet to improve your first-week decks; I think you'll be much happier hobbling along for a few weeks and then making a competitive deck rather than trying to make a mediocre deck less mediocre.
Also, one bonus tip: watch streamers! You learn so much by watching other people play. In particular, I recommend MegaM0gwai, Saucy Mailman, and Swimstream.
"The Rekindler and The Harrowing will no longer revive Champions that only had their unique spell cast (rather than an actual Champion unit played and killed)."
Well, mine was working for a while, but stopped working again and reinstalling isn't helping. Haven't tried the Amazon App Store. May look into that later. Looks to be a long night at work with no Hearthstone for now.

Congratulations Demonxz, a worthy win indeed. :)
And thanks to everyone who voted for The Last Lantern from 1 to 5. Never expected to be in a design comp final, you guys made my week :D
Cute deck. I wonder why you wouldn't want to toss in Frost Lich Jaina into it just for the lolz

[Game] Card Treasure Hunt (The Resurrection Attempt)
I'd say either Harvest Golem - Damaged Golem or Scavenging Hyena - Hyena.
Leaning more towards the golems, but the Hyena literally has a Classic emblem, so there's that.
EDIT: Actually I realized that hyenas have the same stats so they can't be the answer. Golems are my guess then.

Congrats Demonxz! Your card was great, I'm kind of surprised they didn't have that in the actual Dalaran Heist.

Let's talk about Hecarim
