Feedback! First of all, I second everything TheHoax91 has suggested. Great analysis, hitting some things right on spot.

I'm having difficulty coming up with a good idea this week. I think I'd like to do something luminary, though.

. 

Ebb and Flow is meant to support Murloc Shaman with a much needed AOE or reload. 

The Red Planet toys with Warrior's self damage cards like Awaken! or Risky Skipper.

What do you think? I'm also pondering something about the moon transforming minions into Worgen. 

Feedback is in the making! 

Here's my idea. As usual, I would be grateful for any feedback but especially with balancing the stats.

Congrats to Tox! It was my favorite card this week. Also thanks for your votes, second place wohoo :-) 

Edit: Just realized I confused it with RazorOfArtorias' card. Tox's card probably looked interesting to many people because it had a new effect but I agree with KANSAS, it's too slow for my taste.

Honestly I had expected a theme about OoC's birthday and got inspired yesterday. As it stands, I'll flag this as off topic and leave it here for your entertainment. See you tomorrow, the European is way past bedtime once more! 

(edited in the fourth line as a clarification based on your feedback. thanks, guys!)

In Hearthstone, being Out of Cards means going to fatigue which is usually a bad thing. With The Last Unicorn, I took the sting out of that and made it a win condition. This card allows you to pump up your deck with Priest's great control tools and watch your opponent's slow and painful death once both decks are empty. Gang up with Galakrond, the Unspeakable for infinite reload!

I've put it into Priest because they have no easy access to weapons and are a strong control class, then added the Purity condition because it's a unicorn thing. 

Happy birthday! 

Happy birthday! It's a great site and it's easy to see all the love and the effort you put into it. This and the awesome community are what makes me come here daily. I'm looking forward for next years to come!

Thanks for the feedback, I agree Boom was a bad idea. I will stop trying to stay awake until the new competition starts and being creative when I should be asleep. 

Here's another idea. I'm happy with the art and the effect, since it mirrors what he does in WoW. I took it out of Karazhan because they got no class legendarys and didn't have Lifesteal back then. The wording seems a bit strange at first glance, but Wild Bloodstinger says it's okay. I could use some help with the stats and would be grateful for general feedback. I will add my two cents later.

Someone just told me this does not compare well to Dirty Rat + Nether Breath. What would you think about making it 3 mana 4/3 or 3 mana 4/2 (which would be a cool reference to Satyr Overseer)? Is that good enough for a legendary?

Quote From RavenSunHS

F2P here, since TGT.

I never, NEVER wanted to grind for Legend, because I always found it extremely stressful: I always limited myself to r5 and then play my own homebrews.

But with the new system, I must say I felt more lured to it, because there were less stars between D5 and L.

And I actually succeded today without even too much of a grind! Legend for the first time!

I used a Wild Discolock with Freeze package (which worked wonders against DH, PW and mirror). Rank 29xx (can't remember).

I am quite happy with the achievement. Although now I'm not sure it was so much of an achievement tbh, it didn't feel that hard. And I'm not even sure I want to play meta decks for grinds to Diamond ever again?

But well, cheers to me for today!

Congrats! I just started playing Disco Lock last week and having lots of fun. Would you pleasae explain the freeze package or post your deck list?

Feedback time!

Congrats to LutriSpellcaster!

@Nirast: I have no idea what happened here, but when I checked right after the phase had ended, you were shown as the winner.

First idea, what do you think (and how can I shift the text a bit upwards to get it away from the attack?)? I'll look up art tomorrow. 

(Edit: mechs needs a capital M...)

On the one hand, I liked the creativity this week, lots of different approaches and cool ideas. On the other hand, I didn't rate any submission 5 stars for the first time, because all of them had at least one little flaw in my opinion. That said, I did give out a lot of 4 star ratings, so yeah, it's curious how the low ratings come together. But then, as long as they are consistently low on average, that shouldn't be a problem.

@KANSAS: I gave you 4 stars because I didn't like the statline. 2/4 would have made the deal for me. How did you like my Tarecgosa?

Nope, the taunt would have left me with 0 mana and I had no answer in hand or I would have saved Zeph up for later use (see first screenshot). I figured it was brawl or die and tried to push him in that direction but he obviously knew better. 

Ah, that last paragraph explains it. Holy Nova was fine for me, I see why he offered this. I just didn't get the other two because even if my opponent would have traded into the taunt the best possible way for me, that would have been worse than the worst possible brawl outcome. But now you mention it I remember a stream or something where they explained that Zeph always (?) goes for a variety of answers, like offering taunt, aoe and heal if you use him defensively. Thank you!

Really cool deck! I have lots of fun with this, even if I have only managed to pull off the combo twice so far and both times the first card drawn was Anka lol.

I'm missing Sneed though and replaced him with a serpent egg for the moment since I find myself struggling in the early game quite often. Any better suggestions? 

Thanks for sharing! 

Sorry for the necro but can someone tell me what I'm missing here? 

I was specifically looking for Brawl and while Holy Nova at least makes a bit of sense, the other two just seem weird. I guess I would have lost anyway but who knows if Alex wouldn't have sent me some heal. As it stood, my opponent used the remaining 4 attack on board plus Soulfire to finish me next turn.

A minion who helps setting traps is Professor Putricide but I don't see who his sibling might be or where a groom comes in. In a wider way of thinking about traps, Mok'Nathal Lion could be meant, possible brothers being Savannah Highmane and King of Beasts. Since the riddle indicates the card is rarely used and it fits the "groom" part better, I'll go with King of Beasts.

(Side note: maybe we're overthinking it and the groom is Stablemaster. Who could be her brother?)

Which is just another example for our need of a preview / confirmation page or the ability to delete and repost once a week.

I had a quick look and checked how many entries could have been saved if we had this. The best way to measure the problem are probably the DQs, which we've had 28 of so far, resulting in an average of just above 2 per week (please note that there were 10 DQs in week 2 because of missing watermarks). Please keep in mind that the real number is probably higher because I'm not able to track down errors that didn't lead to a DQ like major spelling issues, submitting already used art or something along those lines. I've heard there even are people who submitted the wrong card.

Back to topic.

@Incospicuosaurus: The basic version is good, but maybe you could find a way to avoid the orphan in the last line of text. Personally, I find the third alternative in the spoiler more interesting. To adapt Rexus first and then transfer the choice to the Hero Power is a very elegant solution. The other two look a bit clunky next to this. If I were in your shoes, I'd probably submit the more creative version.

@Nirast: I prefer the Mage Hero Power that deals 4 damage every third turn. I haven't seen anyone putting "dormant" on a Hero Power, so you'd net some extra points for creativity from me. The effect is strong, but not OP imo. 

Thanks for pointing me at Metamorphosis, I had overlooked this. I guess both variations are viable then.
