The Headhunter feels a little off flavor-wise because it rewards getting your own stuff killed. It does fit DH's swarm-archetype well though, so if you want to go with it I'd consider changing the name and the artwortk. The Warrior card is the most interesting of the three and I agree with linkblade's idea to make the wording simpler. Lastly, the Mage card is very solid, but not overly exciting. So what it comes down to in my opinion is how much creativity you'd want to see in a Core set. If you dare to do something exciting, go with Warrior. If you prefer to deliver a solid support card, take Mage.

Nice card, I like how it is very simple yet has a condition that isn't easily met. That's my main concern as well: If you randomly generate or steal that card, you're looking at a vanilla 3/3/3 in 99% of the cases. The devs went as far as giving every class a Corpse counter so they could make use of Corpse cards they obtained, so this seems to be an issue worth looking into.

It does a lot of what I'd expect from a Core card: it's support rather than center stage, it has an easy yet useful effect, it's cheap and seems playable at every stage of the game. It might be a little too directly on-the-nose with what it does (imagine a Shaman card saying "Your Overload cards don't Overload this turn"), but it's still my favorite of the week so far. Replacing the Battlecry with Outcast would be a really funny way to fix that.
Paladin receives some Dude support with Lothraxion the Redeemed and Muster for Battle so I've decided to go down that route. Dude Paladin has explored a lot of design space already so it wasn't easy to find a new and interesting effect (just buffing the Recruits would have been boring for example), but I defintely want to go with this artpiece. Giing it the iconic Truesilver Champion statline felt like a nice bit of nostalgia. Please let me know which version you prefer or if I should try to find something else altogether!
To answer your question, it would probably find a place in Silence Priest, but I'm not sure if it would be used the way it's intended to be. Then again, I rarely play Priest, so what do I know.
They do, it's the 6th bug from the bottom of the list with the fixed issues.
Edit: Although the wording leaves room for interpretation. Maybe we'll keep them and only people who unlock the cards in the future won't benefit any longer.
Adorable! And a nice play of words as well. Great work! Maybe move the artwork a tiny bit to the left so the bug can be seen better and I'd also change the watermark to a custom expansion. Probably 4 stars from me.

I've already expressed my love for this card. Favorite design this week! 5 stars from me!

I fear I have to agree with Wailor, I'm not a big fan either. If you choose to go with it nevertheless, I'd recommend to change the watermark to a custom expansion and move the text between brackets to the second line as well as the period behind the closing bracket. Probably 2 or 3 stars from me.

I also like Fetch! the most and I also agree it would be a better fit for Demon Hunter. Cool card! Probably 4 stars from me.
Wailor
Nice card, flawless execution as usual. My one worry is it might not be crazy enough to win. Probably 4 stars from me.

Thanks for hosting this competition, it's always cool to mess around with goofy themes. Easily my facorite competition this season already! Regarding your cards, I agree with Wailor that Guy In A Bear Suit isn't the most creative way to interpret the prompt. Another Lightning Bolt is definitely funnier but not my favorite card in the thread either. Probably 3 or 4 stars from me.
I have yet to properly wrap my head around what we're supposed to do here / what would make for a cool card text, but I generally love special competitions so thumbs up for hosting this!
I'm sorry I couldn't find the time to provide feedback this week. I'll try to do better in our next competition. Thanks to everybody who gave advice on my idea!
I love that feeling of really having earned a win. Just came up against a Renathal Blood Death Knight with a golden Hero Power tray, I was playing Unholy/Blood Even Death Knight. Veeeery tough matchup. They have tons of life gain and board control, im basically relying on handbuff. Unless... Unless I draw my Hematurges early and outvalue them by coining out Alexandros Mograine on 6 and playing a second copy on 7. The second stage astalor on 9 sealed the deal. One of the rare times my opponent's "Well played" emote felt sincere. Thank you, stranger!
Real life is going really rough these days, that's why I've been absent for the last two weeks. New keyword competitions are kinda my favorites though so I'll try to find the time to participate this week. Here's a first idea I came up with when Overheal was revealed. The art is a placeholder for now.
This might be an unpopular opinion, but I think the new expansion is very interesting from a card design perspective. The flavor is through the roof, I really love it - but the effects of the cards are giga meh. Take this with a grain of salt because I'm a Wild player, but I have yet to see something I really want to try day 1 . It feels like all we get is Mana cheat and that's it. I'm disappointed, but there are still quite a few reveals to go so maybe this was only a slow start leading up to an amazing Finale.
New year's resolutions done!

You have about two and half hours left to submit, better hurry!
Same here, but I think the problem might have been solved with the last update.
Congrats icefiremage!

What makes you think that? Please give me some hope!

And that's the beauty of it. I love the chaos you've created here!
Feedback!
Amazing card, 5 stars from me!
But for Yogg's sake check the timeline in the initial post, you can only submit until Wednesday!

Devs confirmed this as well:

Different opinions are totally fine. Going out of your way to post them on a dedicated fan page might cause some irritation though.
Congrats! That's a special moment for sure, glad you got to experience it.
Not that I play Standard, but what's Machine Gun Hunter? Could you please share your list?
