Just a minor issue: The CDC voting progress bar always shows one card left to vote on, although I have seen all the entries. I'm pretty sure the last one is my own which I can't vote on in the first phase. Could you change the number of entries to vote on to "all entries -1" for the first phase?
KANSAS: I prefer Ritual of Rejuvenation. It might be a bit too strong for the cost, since you're guaranteed to discover something good. I don't like double discovers so no Eaveadrop for me, Hellrat is too weak because of board space maximum and no offense, but the spider is boring.
I like the spider, I really want beast druid to be a thing. Do you think there is a way I could change it to make it more interesting? Or should I just submit Ritual of Rejuvenation?
First of all: it's just my opinion, there surely are lots of people who like beast druid. If you want to make me play this card though, you could try and rise the power level: make the deathrattle summon two copies! I guess that would have to show in the rarity and the stats, but it would certainly make me wanna try it out.
I just realized that this would make it a beast-restricted Carnivorous Cube that doesn't kill the target... sounds frightening, but also very cool.

Thanks a lot! Name and rarity are the two things I felt most uncomfortable with, too. I think there's enough resemblance to Zerek, Master Cloner to make this a new iteration of him. Will think some more about the cost.
I wanted to create a corrupted version of Lorewalker Cho but couldn't come up with an alternative mechanic that involved copying spells. This one adds minions to the other players hand instead and can be used to irritate the opponent or for hand disruption. In WotoG, Warlock could combo this with Forbidden Ritual to clogg your opponents hand with useless tentacles, for example. The stats are a problem since I didn't want to go too far away from the original Cho but wasn't content with 0 attack either. The art is okayish I guess, I couldn't find a good corrupted Pandarian.
My second idea was to create something fun out of Yogg's insanity and the Thief Priest archetype. Assuming our opponent's spell are not entirely garbage and given the fact that we at the very least learn what cards they are running, this is quite powerful. That's why I tuned down the stats.
Please help me choose my card for this week and feel free to give feedback on both of them. I'm also curious where you guys get your art. I'm not really happy with what I used this week but couldn't find any better on artstation.com - do you have other recommendations?
The idea of discovering it's because I don't like the fact that almost everything is RNG, and having at least a little bit of control in the creation can avoid a lot of headaches.
I was thinking of the cost, and I feel that 6 is still a bit OP, but maybe adding the line "with half the stats" would balance it? Not really sure though.
What about "Discover two Warrior weapons that cost 5 or less"...?
That would remove the troublesome Gorehowl from being an option, and allow you to drop the cost restriction on the new card that is created. This would force the player through discover to think about the cost of the card they are discovering, instead of just automatically grab the highest stats. I think it would make it more along the lines of Deathstalker Rexxar's hero power when it comes to combining 2 cards into 1.
Exactly what I was thinking about. Should solve all the issues and fits the current cost of the card, I think.
Thoughts? The idea is kind of a tweak of Dirty Rat that has more utility than DR since you can hold the copy until the best time to play - either to disrupt a combo, or for your own card advantage if it isn't a combo minion.
I like this a lot. Innovative, but easy to grasp. And great flavor, too (even if it's not typical HS style)!

Dermostatic: I like this better than the murloc. There's lots of potential in there, great idea! Maybe Shivershine can try out his Mage idea now?
Fedrion: The concept is cool, but I think the weapon should be equipped. Otherwise it's a 6 mana do nothing.
Thanks for the review, Dermostatic! Are there more opinions on which to choose and/or how to improve them?
Congrats to shaveyou! It was my second favourite card of the finalists. Didn't spot the text mistake either...
Congratulations! I'm happy for you :)

Oh that's a shame. Great card, insta inclusion to my Thief Priest in wild. 4 stars at least from my side.
My guess for the Year of the Dragon card is Ancharrr. It wasn't that OP in the first place, the nerf came unexpected for my part.

Roll the Bones is correct, Abobominator is next!

Good guess, but no. "Fame" only means increasing your chances to win in this case.
Negative. You're looking for a spell.

Nope.
Incredible how fast you're responding to suggestions and bug reports. Thanks a lot, especially for the Card Design Competition related improvements!

Thanks for the reminder. I would have forgotten it this time and just barely made it yesterday in the evening because of the android issues.
Sherazin, Corpse Flower?
Bump. More feedback please?
