Solid idea, I like the new iteration and the character you've used. Make sure you tap into the lore in the description box for us people who don't play WoW! I prefer the Hero Power without the Cost reduction since it's a pretty high rolly ability anyways.

One of my favorites so far. Great flavor, great execution, I like it a lot. I prefer Sergra for the reward card.

I like how the Quest represents Guff in his very social, amiable way. The original reward card was interesting enough for me and would be fitting the friendship-theme, but it's also too close to Guff Runetotems already existing card. So yeah, the new version is better. Cool cards!

I think I prefer the original Quest art or the one with Agamaggan on it, the one with the head has something dark to it that doesn't fit Hearthstone very well. The Hero Power definitely is the better reward for me. The whole concept is neat, but not very creative, which would result in a 4 stars rating from me.
R
Solid design overall. You should definitely change the names of both cards since they are too close to Hunter's Pack. Something like "Prepare for the Hunt" might be good for the Quest.

Lost in the Barrens was to be expected in this competition, which is why I wouldn't choose to go with it - it's a bit too boring. I also don't think the flavor connects very well since being lost in the desert and suffering from delirium and experiencing battle rage after getting injured (=Frenzy) are two different things for me. Embrace Insanity is the one I like the most. You're missing a period at the end of the Quest card's text and I agree with Demon that the Reward doesn't need the condition of having an empty deck. Ritual of Summoning is too set-specific for my taste (that applys to Lost in the Barrens as well).

One of my favorits, very cool design. The one thing I'd change is making the Hero Powers swap each turn instead of letting the player choose one of them. Healing for 6 and dealing 3 damage for only 2 mana is very strong, so the swapping effect tunes down the power level a bit without hurting the flavor.

Very strong card. I gave you 4 stars for now, might add a fifth once I've seen all entries.
This theme is super hard for me. Here is what I've got so far. Are 5 cards enough? Coin into Foxy Fraud into Swindle into Shadowstep into Foxy Fraud into whatever is pretty easy on paper and there's also Backstab, but you'd dump pretty much your whole hand for this, so I think it's fair. Should the Hero Power cost 1 or 2? Any suggestions for better names?
I'll probably give feedback tomorrow, lots of RL stuff to do again :(
@Live4vrRdieTryn: me neither. I solved it solely based on the hint ("what can happen after Yoggish stuff is played?" - answer: anything). No to Hunting Party.
Meh, I thought this would be easier. Alright, major hint(s):
(1) You ask what defines me? I belong to the proud, but there's more (2) My name? I'm a creature of lore (3) The first part of me is scaly and strong (4) I really hope this game will be long (5) The second part is feathered and swift (6) If you show dedication, I'll reward you with a gift
(1) class (2) it's a minion which can be found in WoW (which usually tells you something about the rarity) (3) card name (4) Cost and effect (5) card name (6) effect
Thanks BasilAnguis and KANSAS for pointing out your reasoning. We don't have to agree on everything, but it certainly helps to understand the ratings. Makes me wonder if it wouldn't be better to split the vote on each card into categories, something I remember DestroyerR doing in their feedback posts. From the top of my head, something like building an average between 5 star ratings of each card's powerlevel balance, flavor and execution would be nice. That would also lower the probability of ties because one persons final score would be the average of an average. The big downside of this suggestion obviously is the added amount of work you have to put into giving your vote which might lead to a further decrease in participation. Hm.

I'm super suprised that R's Combat Dominie didn't make it. Maybe I won't be as straight forward with my feedback in the future, looks like it might paint a target on people's back if their cards are labeled as a potential winner (and I wasn't the only one who said so). Sorry R! :(
Keep going, you can do this! I've played some Demon Hunter myself this month with Deathrattle strong in Standard and even made it to legend in Wild with Odd. I'm at 260 now, so I'll probably need another 3 years for that super nice 1.000 wins portrait lol
Feedback time, sorry for being a bit late this week. Thanks for your thoughts on my cards!
Demonxz95
Volvano Caller is solid work, but not very exciting. Agor is super cool! One super small thing to consider is that the initial card depicts an guy with two heads, but you can get three different outcomes. Any chance you happen to have one lying around with three heads?
BasilAnguis
Very nice idea, it's been some time since Thief Priest got some love. Not sure about the Echo part, though. That keyword is tied to The Witchwood when spell schools had not been a thing yet. Why not go with a good old cost reduction? I'd say go all in and make them cost 1!
Neoguli
Solid idea, but I don't think it counts. The subtext of the prompt says "We're looking for a specific school here". Better check with Shadows!
Elfensilver
Choosing a Dragon to design your card around is a cool idea, but I see several problems. First of all, you should use another watermark. Then the art isn't very good, it looks like a screenshot from WoW. Finally, I'd choose another effect. Dealing damage randomly split isn't a Druid thing.
R
I can only echo the other's feedback: Combat Dominie is a super cool card and a potential winner in my eyes (you can never know with these crazy finalist's vote results these days though). Nothing more to say.
linkblade91
"Double your Armor" always sounds scary to me, but this time the restriction is big enough to work out I guess. You also made it even-costed so Odd Warrior shenanigans aren't a problem either. Solid card!
Lundy
I was a bit disappointed when I saw you've used the same art as me to be honest, but I do like your card. No big fan of Start of Game effects, but it's a cool idea and the pun in the name is great. Rated 4 stars for now, might give it a raise to 5 when I've seen all the others on Sunday.
Wailor
Haha, I guess we've both gone with the coolest archetypes around :) I much prefer Shai, since Silvermoon Icecaller is just too close to [Hearthstone Card (Warden Dawngrasp) Not Found] and I think Blizzard made them a Legendary on purpose to keep the potential number of Frost Novas low. Nice one!
Feedback time!
That's correct and you even got all the lines right! Nice one :)
Negative. I've you give some reasoning for your guesses I can tell you what parts you got right or wrong.
Alternative reward for my quest since I messed up the art.

Negative. I'm going to bed now. Will give hints tomorrow if you need any.
Nope.
R meant stuff. Yoggish stuff = RNG clown fiesta

Lots of super cool cards this week. Good luck everybody!
Firelands Portal? I think we're looking for a mage Fire spell and it ends with "al" lol
Plague of Death? No idea about the clues but that's pretty much the only AOE that leaves no trace (with the exception of Reno) and it's odd costed.

I don't play casual, Standard is my fun area. Sometimes Wild when I've already reached the rank I was aiming for that season.
