    Faster than a speeding river of ice  - "river of ice" = Avalanche; add "speeding" and you might get Animated Avalanche; "faster" = cheaper?

    More powerful* than a frost ray - potentially / conditionally deals more damage than Ray of Frost

    Able to leap over decklists in a single bound  - this could mean it's a neutral card?

    Look! It's -Card Name-!

     

    Glacial Shard?

    Sadly nothing for Wild. We currently have no super broken decks like Seedlock, Tillerlock or Discardlock, but personally I would have liked to see changes to some of the more problematic builds in this priority:

    1. Pillager Rogue, Quest Mage

    2. Big Priest

    3. maaaaaybe Secret Mage

    Super busy week at work again so I wasn't able to participate in the discussion here. All the more glad to see all my favorites in the finals though. Good luck everybody!

    Very close, but not quite what you're looking for. Tell me if you need a hint!

    There's a dark joy in this, watching them lose their halo.

    This might end in epic proportions, even if it doesn't look like much from the get-go.

     

    Sorry for the delay, work kept me extremely busy this week.

    Hearthstone is my favorite and most played game by miles. Second place is currently taken by Witcher 3 because I finally started my second 100% run after the next gen patch was released. I haven't figured out yet what to do starting next week when my preorderd copy of Forspoken arrives though. I need more time.

    Meat Grinder because it's about the savory stuff = Corpses, might fit the sexy line and doesn't make the cut in DK decks?

    Initially I wanted to create a Hunter version of Vast Wisdom, but this looks more interesting. Since you still have to pay the full cost of the first minion, it shouldn't be too much Mana cheating, but stuff like Alleycat into Darkmoon Tonk would be pretty juicy. I'm still debating to reduce the Cost to 2.

    Will add artwork and a custom watermark later (and hopefully feedback for you all).

    Really neat installment of the description boxes during finalist voting - it was genius to hide them in spoilers so they're there if you need them but don't take up too much space. I really appreciate all the effort your putting into season 6, thanks a lot for that to everyone involved, especially linkblade and Demon!

    Very cool theme, Moondreamer!

    I'm a bit disappointed that you beat me to the Beast / Mech card for Hunter, linkblade. I'll see if I can find greener pastures or try and come up with a better effect than you :P Your card would come in very handy in my Augmented Deathrattles Hunter deck for sure, so that's a high bar to pass. 

    While I understand Wailor's point of view as well, I think it's a good idea to try out adding prizes to the competitions, especially after having read linkblade's additional explanation. Most of us will have a hard time to gather those wins so my guess is the overall feeling will stay as casual as we know it. My one gripe are the prizes for the second and third places: it's nice to reward more people than the winner, but that's almost bound to end up in a tie. Do you already have plans for that case? I'd be super hyped for a showdown competition between tied competitors :D

    All that said, I'll be off for a three days work trip starting in two hours, so don't expect me to be as active as usual. I'll try to peek in in the evenings and use the boring phases for some brainstorming, but typing out feedback on mobile is quite tedious so I guess I'll boil that down to the bone as much as possible this week. Good luck everybody!

    Congrats Demon! Those simple looking designs are my favorite but I know they're hard to come up with. Great job!

    Thanks for stepping in for Shadows to you and linkblade again! I'm looking forward to participating in these competitions once more.

    Today I got legend with Even Shaman - so I managed to do this with every class in Wild! What a journey it was... A few years ago I thought I'd never get there even once.

    Feedback time!

    machadogps
    I haven't played much Frost DK so I don't know how much draw is an issue in this archetype, but your card seems a little underwhelming at first glance. I mean it's a triple rune epic that delivers a worse effect than Arcane Intellect (needs to spend a corpse and the second card arrives delayed). That said, I do like the combination of art and name and the general idea of spending Corpses at the start of your next turn. So there's a lot of potential here, but I'd change the effect if I were you.

    Alfi
    This seems OP at first glance. DK will likely have no trouble keeping their Corpse count high and raising a free 2/2 Taunt each turn would be incredibly strong on its own, not to mention being able to do this 2-4 times. If you go with it, make sure to add the token to your submission!

    Nobudy
    Death's Advance is one of my favorites so far. It's simple, but strong with a nice execution. Well done! Raise Undead has an OP feeling, this could get out of hands very easily. The Fisherman kinda falls into the same category as your first card (simple but strong), but i don't like the art as much so this one ranks on a close second place among your cards for me.

    NerdyMcNerd
    I have to admit I'm not sure which deck would like to run this since we don't have many big Corpse payoffs yet. So for the currently available cards the power level is kinda meh? I'd also encourage to discuss the text with the rest of the participants here. I'm not sure if the "you" in the last line is needed. If that should be the case, it might be better to put it even more clearly: "… leave a Corpse for you."

    MrRhapsody
    Blood Empowerment had me confused at first. I thought the minion only determines the cost, but your hero pays it. After giving it some more thought, I see what's actually intended here. The idea is pretty cool but I'm not sure if there is a way to make the wording understandable at first sight. Let's see what the others have to say. Small nit picking as well: the art doesn't fit HS Death Knights very well imo. Construct Quarter looks like one of those cards that is either OP or not worth running. I'd focus in the Blood card instead.

    Dolphinslayer
    To put it short: I agree with everything Demon had to say. Welcome aboard!

    Moondreamer
    An interesting idea! My only gripe is it could be too frustrating for a lot of classes that wouldn't be able to use their Hero Powers against you anymore, like Mage, Rogue, Demon Hunter or Death Knight. That might be watered down by the fact that your card costs 5 and Hero Powers get less and less relevant as long as the game goes on, but it still bothers me a bit.

    Neoguli
    I'm not a big fan honestly. The spell pool is too small as of now, the art confuses me and the name is a too niche pun for me taste. Defintely add the explanation to your submission if you go with it!

    Demonxz95
    I really love Postmortal Servitude, my favorite card so far. It's simple but very effective, the art and the name are just perfect. Great work! Blood Moon comes second place, it just doesn't convey as much flavor as Postmortal Servitude does for me. And I'm sorry to say it, but Strik just isn't it for me. I see how much work went into him, but he's too complicated. I'm also not sure if "choose" is the right wording on the main card if the spells are meant to be cast immediately. Looking forward to your interaction encouraging measures (whenever you choose to deploy them)!

    linkblade91
    Basically a very cool card (lol). It has a clear archetype it supports, a lot of 3s in it, nice art and a powerful effect. The one thing that bothers me is the powerlevel, which might be too high. You could adjust the cost to 3 Corpses for 1 Spell Damage to complete the 3-theme and tune it down a little bit I guess.

    Wow, what a nice surprise! Big thanks to Demon and linkblade for taking up the banner and organising these competitions! Also fingers crossed for Shadows and everything working out in the best possible way for him.

    I've been longing for a high impact 3B card that capitalises on Corpses since I've started playing the new class so why not create one myself? Here are my first ideas:

     

    The minion version is a neat solution for those games where you really want to play that Mutanus the Devourer / Patchwerk / Alexandros Mograine before your opponent does - if you are able to accumulate enough Corpses during the early game, that is.

    The spell version mainly aims at The Sunwell shenanigans and toys with the characters Blood Elf origins.

    Thanks for doing this Flux, that's very generous of you!

    I'm probably suffering from recency bias but my two highlights were

    • spectating Bunnyhoppor win worlds with that crazy 1 hour + Control Priest mirror to secure the trophy and
    • reaching Wild legend with Swizard's Reno Blood Death Knight in December.

    Good luck everybody!
