    The quarterback is my favorite card of them. Simple, but effective.

    I don't know, it feels clunky - especially the "if they don't have it" part. I like the art, but not the current iteration of the effect. Just buffing all the Murlocs would be enough and a lot easier to grasp imho. Undecided Undergrad is hands down my favorite card in this thread so far. Great work!

    I still like the first version of the student the most.

    The Lorekeeper looks interesting but might be very annoying to play against. I like the flavor very much. The text might be edited to avoid the orphan in the last line. Wind Totem looks pretty neat, too.

    Mad Researcher looks a bit OP. 2/2/4, draw too is just too much for me. Alanna looks cool, but you're missing a space after the Spellburst and the name is already taken.

    You shouldn't put this into KnC when Spellburst wasn't a keyword yet. Regarding the balance, I'd either drop the Stealth or draw only 2.

    Interesting idea for balancing the effect. I like it.

    Lol, Karlain would be king of the memes with a combo that complicated. One of the veterans once mentioned it would be a good question to ask if you'd be happy to get your card from a random pack in game when custom designing. For me, Karlain would be a big no.
    Hartin is a dangerous card to print - Mages shouldn't get access to perma Spell Damage imho.

    I don't feel the flavor, I'm sorry. There's just too much going on. I think this could be a nice card for another competition if you cut the Spellburst, though.

    I like the first version. It fits Zoolock very well and the flavor's certainly there. The patch of color on the left side of the art is a bit of a nuisance for me.

    I prefer the first version of Attentive Student. Casts When Drawn effects are too RNG heavy for my taste.

    Both cards look very cool to me. The weapon is definitely stronger in the right deck, while Justiciar is more versatile. Hard to decide between the two.

    It is a rather strong card, but probably okay as an epic. Not very flavorful in my eyes, but solid.

    Cool idea, I like it! Hunter only would probably more fitting than dual-class.

    I don't like Stitching Arm very much, Zombeasts should stay in KotfT. Masked Prowler is a cool idea, I like it.

    Nice art! Negative Spell Damage is a bit too weird for my taste, but from the three you presented, the second one is the best.

    Yeah, I'm coming for you, DestroyerR ;-)

    Will post the next riddle tomorrow if that's alright with you guys.

    I've had an idea I'd really like to make work, but I'm not sure if it's even possible mechanically. Could you guys give me some advice on this one?

    The idea is to give Professor Slate some much needed support and provide Hunter with pseudo-AOE that is unreliable enough to prevent it from being OP.

    The way I want it to work is as follows: Say you have Slate and this guy on board and your opponent has 3 minions. You target the middle one with Rapid Fire. Slate's effect triggers and the minion dies. Now Explosive Archer's Spellburst triggers and kills both adjacent minions. Is that possible? Because technically the targeted minion is no longer there when the Spellburst resolves, so I'm not sure if the game is able to define adjacent ones. Finally, I was wondering if the text needs an "(if possible)" at the end, because of stuff that doesn't target minions (like secrets, spells aimed at face, Animal Companion, whatever). I'd be very thankful for advice on these issues as well as the rest of the card (might change the name as well). I'll provide feedback as soon as I can.

    Edit: Thought some more about the text and I think it needs to be more specific. Headmaster Kel'Thuzad is probably a good reference. What do you think about this:

    Double "damages" sounds weird though, I might try and sneak in a "hits" like in Corrosive Breath. Might even be necessary to make the effect trigger when the spell targets a minion with Divine Shield. Damn, this is complicated!

    Really cool cards this week. My favorites are Dive, Drowned Harbinger, Naga Fel Witch and Submerged Mine. My money is on the Harbinger, but Submerged Mine would be a great first win for Hunter. The card has so much potential but it needs some time to think through how it would be played and I'm not sure all the voters can spare that. Fingers crossed anyway!

    Is it Kobold Librarian?

    Green because it's a common, Taker because of his intro voice line ("Me take book").

    Purple Dude because it's a Warlock card,

    Scratch Maker because it's a Kobold

    Four Total in Deja Vu references to my last riddle: his stats are 1/2/1 which adds up to 4.

    Very cool idea for an expansion, that's such a cool story to tell! I especially like how every class covers both sides of the conflict. My favorite card is the Shadow Hunter. Well done!

    I would assume that the last two lines mean that there are 4 cards of a certain minion type in a "Deja Vu" expansion. "Scratch Maker" hints at Beast or Dragon, but I don't know which expansion is considered a Deja Vu. The only one that looked suspect to me is Galakrond's Awakening, but there are no four cards of a single minion type in that. "Purple dude" might mean it's an epic or a Warlock card.

    GvG has 4 Beasts, but non fits the first two lines.

    Witchwood has 4 Dragons, no luck with the rest of the riddle again (except maybe thir colors: 3 green, one purple).

    For the sake of making a guess I say Nightscale Matriarch, the purple Dragon among 3 other Dragons in Witchwood. Maybe someone else can build upon my reasoning and/or Live4vrRdieTryn can confirm/deny what I got right or wrong.

    Nice theme and so cool ideas! I've already spotted two 5 star cards on the first page. For my part, I have decided to submit my idea from last week since people seemed to like it.

    Some feedback:

    TheHoax91

    Very cool idea, I like it a lot! The only question I have is if this wouldn't be better in Shaman. Maybe it's the influence of Lady Vashj, but Azshara doesn't feel like a Mage card for me. Admittedly, I don't know about her lore, so maybe that's why you put her there. Linkblade having the same idea is a strong indicator, too. Maybe add one or two sentences about that to your submission?

    Demon

    Show Spoiler
    Very nice of you to try and #makehunterwinawcdc, but I think Drown is better. Natural fit for Priest because of Plague of Death. I don't like the art very much to be honest though.

    Wailor

    Show Spoiler
    All of the art looks a bit too realistic for HS imho. The warrior card has lots of flavor with the shark/blood/damaged minion theme, but Darius Crowley cries in a corner. Maybe reduce the buff to +1/+1 wouldn't step on his toes that much.

    Valor1204

    An interesting card, if not very exciting. You should make sure to explain what this could be used for in your submission. What do you intend to do with all the coins after your pirates have died? Create a huge Edwin?

    I've created a somewhat similar card last season which didn't get many points. That said, your idea looks better. Solid card!

    Cool card! Did you try to move the statline of the Kraken to the last line? That would avoid the "orphan".

    Nice use of the blood/shark/damaged minion theme, just like Wailor's card. The art is on the brink of being too sketchy for HS imho. I would prefer this to be a Warrior card, I don't get much Hunter flavor. The statline of the shark should be aggressive, but I'm not sure if 4/3 or 5/4 would be better. Most importantly, you should definitely create a token card!

    Ah, thanks.

    Pretty sure it's Queen of Pain

    What I take I will give, though little it is - Lifesteal, but only 1 attack

    I will obey my master's wishes - filler line

    I was once unique, until others copied me - unique effect until Lifesteal became a keyword

    But now I have ascended to royalty - reference to the nerf of the name and the art

    Very nice riddle, but the "royalty" part narrowed it down pretty much.
