No. It has nothing to do with Jaina's hero Power, it's no Mage card and no Neutral card. I justed used that to express that the card deals not much, but more than 1 damage and to take advantage of the ping pong pun.
I just reached Legend in Wild! It's only the third time I ever did this, second time in Wild. Very satisfying after hitting a wall on rank 1 in the last two seasons with Deathrattle Hunter and Odd Rogue. This time, Odd Paladin did the job.
Final game to legend, me playing Odd Paladin against a Pirate Warrior. They have a very strong start, I'm lucky to get my Broomsticks early but it's a struggle. Finally, I win the board. Opponent draws Leeroy, I haven't seen Righteous Protector all game and go down to 2 Health. I clear Leeroy, buff my minions, smash their face down from 30+Armor to 6. I have my own Leeroy in hand and Oh my Yogg online but still only 2 health. I press the button and know that only a miracle can keep me from getting to Legend. My opponent proceeds to draw Ancharrr.
Very solid card, especially after the changes. It has great art, a fitting name and an interesting effect. Might very well have been printed in RL if not for the shared time in standard with Plot Twist. Well done!

Super cool idea, I like it a lot! My only concern is the art. While I like the Dragon, it looks like you fotoshopped her into the … swamp? jungle? If that is the case, a better background might fit her better. I'm fine with the stats.
Demon
Your new idea looks better, but I'm still not thrilled. Maybe I'm lacking the imgaination to immediately grasp what would make me want to play this other than simply being in Genn and Baku's set. Sorry :/ And thank you very much for explaining how to label the spoilers, that looks so cool :)

I very much prefer Ultimate Redemption. Very shiny, very strong, lots of fun to play. I'm totally fine with making it a dual class card. The one minor issue I see is that the art doesn't fit Scholomance very well. Effect+art is good, Effect+Expansion is okay, but Art+Expansion is off.
Karmin
Very nice idea! If you give it another watermark, I'm happy :)
I'm sorry but I'm super pissed. My idea was captured and almost copied by the person who submitted Wurdread the Devastator. I'd usually refrain from submitting my version in this case because that will probably hurt both our scores, but frankly speaking I'm convinced that my card is better and I'm angry enough to rather go down with the other person than let them get away with this. It's even more outrageous that Demon's idea got copied 1:1 which results in me rating Dreavus, Mad Ritualist with 1 star (just like Wurdread). If that's voting manipulation, feel free to DQ me.
If one of those two contestants reads this and feels falsely accused of plagiarizing they are invited to come out and explain themselves. I might change my opinion (and my vote) if you're able to convince me.
For the time being, I'd like to echo Demon's advice that everybody should check the Discussion Thread and start communicating with other people to avoid these situations. I've DMed people for far less close similarities between their idea and mine because I wanted to get their thumps up before submitting. If copying promising ideas from the Discussion Thread becomes a thing we have a huge problem on our hands and I'm really not sure how it could be dealt with.
To finish my little rant with something positive, I'm very happy with the amount of feedback given this week and will provide some more myself when I've calmed down.
I think you can leave out "now", you're missing a period at the end of the text and I'm pretty sure you should use "hero" instead of "player". There's also a typo in the name ("Sprit").
It's "insatiable" because it won't stop "eating" cards until you kill it :) Initially I wanted to make it cheaper, but at 1 Mana it could discard your opponent's quest which would be super annoying and the 2 Mana slot is already quite crowded in Discolock. No Kanrethad shenanigans either without the Demon tag. I'm still pondering if Un'goro or Rastakhan's is the better expansion for a Crawg, any advice for that question and feedback in general would be very welcome. Edit: I've put it in RR, thanks for your advice, FrostyFeet!

I like your idea, but I'd very much prefer an aura effect to a Battlecry. It takes too much fun out of the game if you can see each other's deck all the time. I'm also one of those guys that prefer a fitting or custom watermark. Again, props for the cool idea!

Terokk is difficult for me. Zoolock is pretty much always good and this is just too powerful a tool for it, even at 8 Mana. I don't like the art of Personality Thief and it's effect is something we already know from other (unused) cards. But Balance Keeper is a really cool idea - probably my favorite so far. Really nice way to use Choose One and super flexible. I like it a lot!

Interesting take, this opens up a lot of possibilities. I'm not sure if the wording is correct… does it have to be "affects"?

Shado Conjurer is a nice idea, but I'm lacking the imagination for suitable targets right now. Cincaria has super cool art, where did you find that? The effect is really nice, too - annoying, but not too strong. Do you intend to reveal the left/right-most card of your opponent or do we have to choose blindly? That is Stelina's truely useful aspect imho, you get to peek at your opponent's hand.

I agree, Eagle Eyes is the best of them. Very flavorful (nice pun!). Is there a reason why you didn't put it in DoD? It would fit the aerial combat theme pretty well.

The art is not HS-style enough for my taste. The effect is very interesting, but also quite hard to evaluate because it's so situational. So while I do think it's a strong and strategically challenging card, I'm not sure if it helps you win this competition. On a side note, how do you put our user's name on the spoilers? Your feedback comments always look so much cooler and smoother than mine.

Nice idea, very flavorful name as well. I'm not sure if it isn't too crazy for a competition that aims to produce realistic cards, though.
Congrats Demon! What a cool card to win a competition with :D
When I first saw your card, I was worried it might be too powerful in Paladin and Mage in a Flamewaker / Pen Flinger kind of way. But as it turns out, you've kinda applied the Pen Flinger nerf with Sheep Cannon! Once there are no more minions to hit, the Sheep are guaranteed to go face, so they don't die and voilà: the potential face damage is capped at 6 (as long as you don't kill your own Sheep. Which you wouldn't. Only a monster would do that.). Genious!
Because it's super hard to deal with when it gets coined out and buffed with Hand of A'dal. Once you've got there, there are several directions you can go. Libram of Wisdom, Blessing of Kings, and so on. You can protect it with Redemption or Righteous Protector, it gets tutored by Crystology and Call to Arms. If you get it out on an empty board on turn 1 or 2, Crabrider can singlehandedly win you a game as soon as turn 4 or 5 with only 2 or 3 buffs. I would have liked to see it nerfed to 3 Health, most classes have something that can deal with that. 4 Health is difficult to remove on turn 2 or 3.
No. It has nothing to do with Jaina's hero Power, it's no Mage card and no Neutral card. I justed used that to express that the card deals not much, but more than 1 damage and to take advantage of the ping pong pun.
None of those. Hint: the last line means that you have to play synergizing cards to unleash the full potential of the card you're looking for.
Nope. Looks like it isn't that easy after all. I'll give a hint soon if nobody guesses it.
None of those.
Probably too easy but I don't have much time for something better... Sorry!
I may not be overly strong
But I'm better than Jaina's pings
We can play a few rounds of pong
If you provide those lonely things

Barov and Malicia are safe keeps for now imho.

Lakkari Sacrifice. "If luck carries" - well played!

Whaaaaaaat where Crabrider nerf??
Ah thanks, now I get it. Do you still need them?
Okay, maybe not all of them. Some so do work now. Strange.
