    I was so sure I'd make it in both comps and I didn't in neither of them 🤡

    I guess I should put less expectations in these things lol

    Same here. Less expectations and less time for me.

    Disco Lock no longer works in my current meta bubble but I still wanted to grind Guldan wins, so I switched to Cube Lock. I had forgotten how satisfying it feels when you win a game just by playing Skulking Geist

    Last minute remake:

    If anyone still wants feedback, let me know.

    It should be "player" without the "s" at the end. I'm not sure if it works as intended... I mean, who's the "current" player at the end of the turn technically?

    Deathrattle Rogue is both fun and competitive (if you don't run into hyper-aggro). It's just what I look for in Hearthstone :-)

    That's a tough decision. I'd go with the second version because the art of the beast is your centerpiece and better than that of Trick Gift. It's a shame you can't submit both tokens. The Battlecry of the new Trick Gift is a bit uncommon and I love the 'Ordinary' in quotation marks.

    I'm going to put my card here and ask for a bit more feedback before submitting it.

    Show Spoiler

    FEEDBACK:

     

    Show Spoiler
    @Xarkkal, As Linkblade mentioned, the downside won't be relevant often. You either play this when you want to trade away the entire board, or when you are going to kill your opponent. I really like the flavor, but I think you should change the card a bit to make it a bit more relevant. Instead of giving them raw stats, I think giving them keywords might be a bit better. Maybe give them Divine Shield and possibly Rush? Giving them Divine Shield encourages trading, and it also keeps the downside relevant. Rush allows you to play it on the same turn as other minions which makes the card much more usable, and it also fits with the flavor.

     

    @CursedParrot, The card feels a bit clunky with the start of game and battlecry which both temporarily change your Hero Power. If you made the card so that it just said "Start of Game and Battlecry: Give 2 random Beasts, Dragons, and Murlocs in your deck +1/+1" then you still get the same effect but the card is a lot simpler. Aside from that the card looks great! I approve of anything to support menagerie decks.

    @Inconspicuosaurus, I don't really like the randomness of it. I think if he were 10 mana and just summoned all of the warriors on your side of the field he wouldn't be overpowered. 

    @Leolph, Your card is interesting. I like the deck-building restriction, but I don't think the payoff is enough to justify not playing any Legendaries. Maybe if it let you discover 3 Legendaries instead of getting 3 random ones it would be better. Or maybe if it gave them all stat buffs. Also, I would try to find some art that fits with Hearthstones style a bit more. I believe the one you art you are using now is from WoW, but the quality isn't great.

    @Meisterz39, The flavor is there, but the card is super weak. Maybe if he made a "grilled meat" (or something) token whenever he killed a minion and the token would restore Health to your Hero. Or maybe he could just create the token at the end of the turn.

    Cg8889, I like Make a Toast better. Though I don't see why it has to buff all of the minions in your decks. I think if it was 1 mana and it just restored Health and drew a card it would be fine.

    @Pokeniner, I don't like many aspects of this card. For one, I do agree with Echo and Inconspicuosaurus that shuffling 10 dead draws is a lot, and also the wording is a bit misleading. I also don't like the "if it is your birthday" bit. I understand that it isn't meant to be taken seriously, but I think the designs for this competition should be realistic. Maybe not as realistic as the other competitions, but still believable. If it just shuffled a single card into the opponents deck, and it also gave the opponent some incentive to play it, I think this card would be a lot better

    .

     

     

     

    I think your almost good to go. The card has great flavor and the art is really cool. Two things to think about before submitting: 1) create the token! (I forgot that and it will probably cost me votes) 2) think of ways for Warlock to kill the token. The 0/4 into 4/4 looks very fitting but maybe 0/3 into 3/3 would be better because of Hellfire and Flame Imp.

    I'm on holidays for a week starting tomorrow and have been thinking about digging up some good old stuff like Portal 2 or Total Overdose. I usually play PS 4 or mobile, so could one of you tell me where to get those games? Portal 2 could be available via steam, but the other one's difficult I guess... especially since I don't want to wait for an ebay delivery ;-)

    Also: The cake is a lie. Thanks Flux :D

    Hey Flux, the Hearthstone Party Header ended up as a Forum Title option and doesn't show in the Profile Header dropdown. Could you please fix that?

    Thanks for the feedback! I feel a lot better about Ebb and Flow and polished it up. Most importantly, I decided to submit both tokens so it becomes clear how the card's supposed to work. In your collection, the text would read "Fill your board with 2/1 Murlocs; or deal 4 damage to all enemy minions (Swaps each turn!)."

       

    Which art do you like better for the second card? (Edit: I'll adjust the text... the swapping part doesn't need a new line and it looks way better the other way)

    I would be grateful for more feedback and a statement from the mods if I'm in danger of getting DQed. The theme of the card is the moon influencing the tides and I sneaked in a moon in all the art, but I know it's a close call anyway. People seemed to like it, though.

    More feedback from me:

    Make sure to mention the lore in your submission. This being a Mech looks confusing if you're not familiar with it. I like the idea of this being Neutral, but it might be too strong in Hunter. They already have a strong Dragon deck and giving them AOE might too much. Cool card!

    CursedParrot:
    Show Spoiler
    I must admit I haven't read other feedback for your card, but I'd like to suggest to alter the text a little bit: "After you cast 3 Spells, awaken and recast them" - that way it looks like Algalon (re)casts the spells after he has observed their first casting. Very flavorful, nice one!

    grumpymonk:
    Show Spoiler
    Lunar Wellspring looks like a good idea. Suggestions for it: 1) I think it should cost more. With a highroll hero power you can heal 15 for 3 mana. I'd say 2 or 3 mana would be fine. 2) I don't like the art much. 3) You mentioned Arcane Blast yourself, why didn't you use its wording?

    BloodMefist:
    Show Spoiler
    I understand your thoughts about cost/effect… Why not make it 2/2/2? :-)

    Inconspicuosaurus:
    Show Spoiler
    Thanks for your praise for my cards! That made me really happy :-) I liked your Gemini idea, but it surely is hard to balance. Quanta is cool, too. You're right, I think you should increase the cost or this could start to steamroll pretty hard. I'd say 6 or even 7 mana?

    linkblade91:

    Perfect!

    Oh lord, why haven't I had that thought? The idea is really nice, but the wording is tricky. I'd prefer "this turn" at the end of the first sentence, but the messes with the second… Is the repetition important for you? You could swap it witch a cost reduction by (1) or something.

    Great flavor! A potential way to toy with time might be freezing or making minions go dormant.

    Thank you so much for that initial post about feedback culture and "vomitting entire collections" as you put it - that really spoke my heart! And look how things have changed. You are great! Now, Algalon is also used by another guy and I don't know who came up with it first. I must say that I wouldn't like a counter to highlander-counter-cards in the game though. Sorry.

    I've played my share of Bomb Warrior for a few days now and one thing I noticed (between 8 and 6 platinum on EU) is that I frequently run out of burst against priest and other control decks. I took out one copy of Battle Rage and swapped in Grommash Hellscream. This would be my first priority in your place, as he regularly shows up whenever Warrior gets good enrage support. Sure there's the possibility of pulling him from a brawl pack, but that doesn't help you play Warrior right now, does it? Second place goes Ancharrr, which is more versatile than it looks and will probably find a permanent home in Wild Pirate Warrior if you're into that format as well. Deathwing and Kargath share third priority as they surely are useful and very cool, but not necessarily needed imho. Teron is an investment I've made that hasn't payed off as of now.

    Wow. I just checked one more time for feedback before submitting. When I came back, there were two more entries of advice I'd have wanted to read first. Sigh.

    @linkblade91: I didn't use the unicorn because I thought it wouldn't fit the competition theme and be disqualified. There's nothing celebrationary about it, it's just a homage to OoC itself.

    More Feedback:

    Wedding Officer looks the most interesting to me. Very creative. Cool watermark!

    It's a fun card, cool idea! I'm not sure yet where this competition is headed, though. If people take it easy, this has a good chance to win. If they want to make realistic cards, it probably hasn't.

    Shaked Soda appeals to me the most. I think there's a "randomly" missing in the card text. Look at Demon's card, it has a similar effect.

    Demonxz95:

    I like both of them, even though I already submitted my card using the piñata art. The art of Firework Specialist looks like it would be better as a neutral card for me.

    I was thinking about start to give feedback for a while, but after the statistics shown from Hoax, now i'm sure i'll retribute the feedback people gave me in previous competition, just keep in mind that's the first time i'm doing this, sorry if i was to harsh with you, it was not on purpose.

    Show Spoiler

    Anyway, here's my cards for this week.

      Extra: I don't now if it is within the theme, but i realy liked the card so i'll add it in the spoilers

     

    Show Spoiler

     

     

    And now, FEEDBACK!

     

    Show Spoiler

     

    Archom4n: In my opinion, "No Neutral" archtype should be a Paladin only thing. Not like giving a class archtype to another (like Spell Hunter and Spell mage) is a problem, but Paladin is struggluing to find flavorful and interesting archtype nowadays, and Pure Paladin is one of those, so i think its not right to take it from then.
    Also, i don't see any the space flavour, maybe you should consider changing the art and name. And about the effect, why not just disable fatigue damage, since its the only utility a Priest can find for own turn immunity.

    Linkblade91: Meteor fall for shure, but try to make less random and highrolly. Flavour is fitting the theme for me, but if i was you, i would wait for more opinions, for it is indeed debatable.

    Demonxz95: Crafter is WAY to highrolly, maybe make it discover spells that cost (5) or less or something? And Starace is fine for me.

    Xarkkal: I Like it. If Tip the Scales + Prismatic Lens is fine, i think this should be too. It keeps Avina, Malygos, Ysiel, Hadronoxx, etc out of range, so maybe there's no dumb combos that might come out of it. But i would give it a Wild expansion watermark, to keep it away from Kael'thas in standard.

    Kansas: I think Empyrean should be the 8/4, for he is the aggressive one, while Obscuron is the defensive, also, it would make the deathrattle easier to trigger. In general, i think its just ok.

    BasilAnguis: I like them all, but i like Gravity Well more for the simplicity.

    Wailor: Gravity Crush is my favorite. Maybe Space-Time Rip should remove or shuffle the minion somewhere to be more flavourful.

    MenacingBagel: I like it, but you should probably change the watermark to Old Gods,Karazhan or Gadgetzan so it would rotate along side the Karazhan's portal, making less confusing for people who started playing after the Year of the Kraken.

    BloodMefist: Color from Space is my fav, MAYBE (3) more is a little too much, but personally, i think its fine. Event of Horizon seens like a worse Enter the Colliseum and Algalon's text is too long, 4 lines is the limit for Hearthstone's cards.

    shaveyou: I like Hunter's Moon , but 4 mana seens more fair, since a mid sized board is enough to turn your minions unstoppable monsters. Another art for it would be nice too.

    Beatdoof: Touch the stars is nice, but 5 mana seens too slow, 4 mana maybe?

    Pokenier: For me its Astrologist, nice flavour and effect. Not realy an actual problem, but its kinda wierd to see an astrologist with such high stats, what about lower the stats and give it like a Free From Amber like effect?

     

     

     

    It looks like something went wrong with your uploads, only one card made it through. I'm sorry to say that I'm no big fan of the "send a minion to the bottom of a deck" mechanic, so I'm curious about your other ideas.

    Regarding your feedback for me, the Unicorn was not meant for this competition, as I stated in the text right above it. You can find my ideas two posts above yours ;-)

    Great list, thanks for sharing! I'll use this for grinding warlock towards 500 wins until the net expansion hits (I'm at 290 now). It's fast, it's strong and it has just the right amount of rng for my taste.
