First of all, your statement about having set this up for a long time and the "history research" make me quite sure that you have hidden the answer in your riddles all over this thread. You told us to "look for capitals", so I went through fourty.fucking.nine pages and wrote down all the capital letters. They make no sense at all:
I also tried leaving out the "I"s whenever there only was an "I" in the riddle, also to no avail:
AAMYAMHBBOTSOGIAHCCMCHMAHWRWHSTATOWHQWAIATJ
Last but not least, I wrote down all the words with capital letters (without the "I"s). That went to hell as well:
Alona Alas My Yet As My He Beyond But Oobdi Taunt Stab OG If Attack Health Cost Cost My Cost Health My Attack Health Who Rarity Who HS Twins A Think Oh While Here Q What A In This Just
Maybe those words are a riddle theirself, but I can't find any meaning in there yet. Does anyone else?
For the sake of making a guess after all this effort, I go with Illidan Stormrage because of "Alas" and "Twins" and lots of "Attack"s.
I think I know where this is going but it will take some time to solve. I'll try to have a look this afternoon or tonight. If it is what I think it is, it's genius!
I used Spell Mage for the first and Bomb Warrior for the second boss and won at first try. Magtheridon is tough, though. Don't know what to do about him yet.
Here we go. Medivh came up with some more entertainment for his guests! The Beast Tamer and her pet are a proud bunch, so they won't show up until their audience has gathered. What do you think? Any suggestions for a better name?
Oh my, I'm sorry! You shouldn't hide your cards behind spoilers, even if it was with good intentions ;-)
I don't like Temporal Loop as an idea, sorry. Slaith looks very interesting, but it scares me. Rogue has lots of possibilities to trigger deathrattles plus [Hearthstone Card (Anka the buried) Not Found]... This could get out of hand even though the condition looks reasonable. I'm in a hurry and can't look up similar cards right now, but both cards having the same name feels strange. Aria is my favorite of the bunch, even though it looks pretty OP, too. With one Incanter's Flow hitting a Fireball, you could play both on turn 10 for 13 damage... I'd like to suggest "When revived, transfrom." for the first card. Maybe you could find a pile of ashes for the second one?
Thanks for the feedback! I decided to drop DH Tony because generating multiple cards is against Demon Hunter's class identity (thanks grumpymonk!) and the Illidari Blacksmith because the [Hearthstone Card (Warblaides of Azzinoth) Not Found] originate from Azzinoth and making him a card would be kinda boring.
I just found cool art for an iconic card I'd like to build my entry around, just need to come up with an interesting effect and I'll show it to you :-)
In the meantime, more feedback!

This is somewhat… crazy. Two major flaws for me: 1) The card is not strong enough to compensate for the negative effect of giving your opponent fireballs. The only option to exploit this I can make out would be clogging their hand and make them mill a card when their turn starts. 2) I don't like art that shows Hearthstone cards (that's a personal thing, though). So all in all, the idea is fun enough, but the card isn't very good.

Drill Sargent looks best out of the three. Maybe a little forced, but nice flavor and very versatile.

I'd go with Mistress of fate, but instead of reducing the cost, giving it "Casts when drawn" would be way more interesting. This would also allow giving it strong stats because it could be considered a drawback (lol).

Very close to my own train of thoughts. I like the art, but I feel like the condition is too easy to meet. Also: Why not use the original Majordomo's stats? Nice work!

Really great card, one of my favorites this week! There shouldn't be a capital letter at the start of "add" (Ysera, The Lich King)
Interesting idea. The "cast all other copies" part was very clever, since this little part balances the whole thing. I'd give 4 stars for now because I am somewhat afraid that it is OP. Will think some more about reasons for this feeling before my final vote. Also: no feedback for me?

That's a tough one to evaluate. First of all, I think it should be "Whenever" in Allanah's text. I don't know what to think about the cloud… It shouldn't be compared to Twisting Nether since Divine Shield minions would survive, but 4 still seems too cheap. Very creative, anyway!

I second Demon's statement about the missing rarity and the difficulty of pulling this off. The idea is good enough and the reward is cool within a reasonable spectrum, but you should probably lower the requirement or switch the class (and the effect of the god?).

There's a period missing at the end of the King's text. Regarding your (and my) token, in my opinion, there shouldn't be a period behind the keyword. I used Locust from Swarm of Locusts as my reference. Do you have an example where the period is used? Finally, I'd suggest to lower the health of the King a bit. 15 just looks exaggerated.

I'm still no fan of the Libram archetype and this time you haven't offered me an alternative :D I don't know, it feels a little forced. Technically, it's probably fine enough.
Okay, let's see. First of all, I asume that we're looking at the name of the card again, broken into three pieces this time (remember the Incanter's Flow riddle?).
It should look like this:
*not for sitting president* - *small insect part 1* - *spanish word for "100"* - *small insect part 2*
The first part is tough. I guess THE president everyone would think of first is Trump. I don't know what's not for Trump though. Maybe it's just toying with his name and a trump card is meant. Or Trump, the streamer.
Second, a small insect. Ant, bug, fly, wasp, bee, ...
The third part is easy. Google says the spanish word for 100 is "cien" or "ciento".
Conclusion: Hearthstone has quite a few cards that use "ancient". That would fit the second and the third part. I still don't understand the first part of the riddle, but the only collectible cards that have a word before "ancient" are Blessing of the Ancients and Forbidden Ancient.
I'll take the riddle by word and guess it's Forbidden Ancient because "of the" doesn't fit and the plural -s wasn't hinted at either.
(@Live4vrRdieTryn: I agree that this kind of riddle looks really hard at first glance, but if you try to solve them systematically, you usually get near enough. My post was a work in progress, I had no idea what my guess would be when I started typing.)
I find Token generating themes especially difficult because I struggle to find matching art. Here's what I found:
Submitting legendaries (and highlander at that) usually doesn't get you far, but I have no better idea for the moment. I'd be grateful for feedback and will provide my thoughts on your cards later.
The easy part first: it should stay neutral. I'm not really sold about the card without being able to put a finger on the sore spot. The text looks too long but is correct. The paragraphs are fine. Hm. I guess I need more motivation to run this. You should make it cost 3.
Pokeniner:
Show Spoiler
I agree with Wailor. What about making Mecha-Jaraxxus a card? You could use the original Lord Jaraxxus stats for more flavor. That way you might give it a harder condition though… Cool design anyway!

I'd drop the Rush, everything else is great. I especially like the cost & stats reflection.

Ishanah is OP imo. Both of the spells look interesting. I don't have the time to look it up now, but have you checked the wording of the Shaman one (is it "field"?) and if the art of the Warlock one is already used?
KANSAS:

I like the card. In your place, I'd toy around with positioning of the text a bit, trying to fit parts of the effects into one line each (1: Battlecry: Deal 2 damage; 2: to a minion; 3: and add a 'Counterfeit Coin'; 4: to your hand) if that doesn't look awkward. Also there's a typo in your flavor text (pain / paid).

I'm no fan of the Libram archetype and I just don't feel the druid card. Volcanic Guardian looks really cool. Why not make it an Ungoro card as well?
I'd like to try to make a Demon Hunter card this week because there was only a small number of entries for this class over the last weeks and the Outcast mechanic works well with this week's theme.
My first idea is a blacksmith that toys with Warglaives of Azzinoth. I find it very hard to balance Outcast cards, but first of all I need to decide between adding the weapon to hand or flat out equipping it. Not entirely happy with the art yet.
My second idea is a "DH Tony" card (still looking for a fitting character). Suggested game plan: equip Warglaives of Azzinoth, next turn drop DH Tony and attack as often as possible, next turn drop Altruis the Outcast and profit.
Which of the two designs do you like better and why? I'm grateful for any form of feedback and will add my two cents as soon as possible.
First of all, I'm really pissed that someone basically copied my card (Shard Mage) with their Orderkeeper Henley. It isn't exactly the same, but the idea of using unspent mana crystals was unique and I find it suspicious that someone should have come up with it by coincidence. Even if that was the case, can't people check the already submitted cards before they enter the competition? With no way to tell which one got submitted first, we'll both suffer now (I'm not necessarily saying my take is better, mind you).
Rant over. My favorites are First Arcanist Thalyssra, Mana Droplet, Nerubian Ritualist and Imbue Energy. Those are my 5 star votes, but I gave lots of 4 stars as well. Good luck to everyone!
I was missing Spiritsinger Umbra for a few months now. To make things worse, I'm stupid and used to dust my rotating cards so I have basically zero Ungoro legendarys. Nevertheless, I decided to buy some packs with gold, 3 Ungoros among them. First pack: boom! Spiritsinger Umbra. It's really crazy because that worked with Bloodreaver Gul'dan a few weeks ago as well.
I agree that this was the hardest boss so far (3 chapters finished). What did the trick for me was a Spectral Cutlass from the 2 mana "discover a weapon from another class" spell on curve.
@ anchorm4n: Maybe something like this? I agree the effect doesn't need to be legendary. It doesn't stack (twice doesn't become thrice) so having two just makes it more consistent. It also isn't that powerful and hard to pull off; something like this is probably destined to be meme-y which is okay. I lowered the mana to 5 since with the randomness it can't be abused as easily. Thanks for the feedback! :)
I agree with Xarkkal, if it targets enemies (in italic!) it is legendary worthy after all. Using Kael'thas statline is a great idea!
You should add "(targets chosen randomly)" at the end of it. Interesting idea! I'm not sure if it has to be a legendary, though. It needs quite a setup and the reward isn't that good, at least as long as you don't give her the Solarian Prime treatment ("(targets enemies if possible)") which might actually be a cool idea for your card.
