We've got less than 24 hours left to submit. Not that many entries. I changed the artwork of my card to try to get a stronger association of thematics and mechanics. I already submitted it since there's not that much time left and feedback has been going pretty slowly.
Some late feedback, and I'm sorry I didn't do this sooner.

I do fear how OP this could potentially be. Just remember Darkglare for instance.

"(wherever this is)" should be in italics. The concept does seem fine, but now I do realize that it probably scales a bit too quickly.

As Linkblade pointed out, the big problem with the card is that it'll just be used as a finisher to give all your minions +2/+2 and kill your opponent right away. This isn't just a problem with your card, but this basically applies to all wide board-buff cards with a downside.
FieselFitz
Unfortunately, I do believe the card is a bit dangerous as it basically can give all your Silver Hand Recruits a pseudo-Windfury that's open to attack face. If you've done a relatively decent job at clearing the job, then you can rack up a lot of face damage with the card that Paladins typically don't have access to.
I'm not sure if this is intentional, but I do think it's a bit strange (although admittedly flavorful) that it also effects enemy Silver Hand Recruits.
Linkblade91
As I pointed out with FieselFitz's card, I am a bit afraid of the amount of potential face damage you can get with this card.
I've had a busy past few days, so I don't have a card with me right now, but what I CAN do it provide feedback.
Linkblade91
I do expect a lot of "drunk" flavored cards in this competition, but this seems to be one of the best ways to achieve that effect since it still keeps some originality in its design. I am slightly worried about its RNG, but this is Hearthstone, so there's no shame in embracing it.
Shaveyou
I don't feel too strongly about this card unfortunately. It is quite strong as a 3 mana 3/3 that draws a card, but it also has a potential upside on top of that. It's not quite in flavor of Patrons either since it seems to cap at one extra Patron as opposed to being able to string multiple of them together. Not that it needs it since the card is already very playable as is, but it takes away from the aspect of it being a "Patron" card.
Grumpymonk
The drinking-flavored cards seem to always flavor on being "tipsy" rather than being "rowdy", so I do appreciate this little change up in flavor that helps the card stand out. I think the Hearthstone community as a whole has learned to never underestimate the potential of any 0-mana spell and this one does seem quite strong to me as it does basically give your minions a pseudo-Windfury effect and a wide board buff.
Anchorm4n
I seem to remember this card. It's not extravagant for the comp, but it gets the job done.
Neoguli
I really like the Kabal flavor, and I like the potential for on-Trade effects, but this one is too strong. Kazakus's 1-mana spells are really good to get continuously like this and you don't even need to shape your deck around it in any way like the two Kazakus cards. I also don't ever see a reason to actually play the card as opposed to using it solely for the on-Trade effect without the intention to ever actually play it.
MenacingBagel
I quite like this concept, but in regards to the TGT watermark, I don't think you should use it specifically since "wherever it is" effects didn't exist until Whispers of the Old Gods.
Lundy
The card seems to be missing a rarity. I assume it's intended to be Legendary since summoning permanents on the board is an effect that seems to be relegated to Legendaries and the permanent has the dragon border on it.
I do see a problem with the card being Druid since they can ramp into this pretty easily and as soon as it's been on the board for a few turns, you can very easily stall your opponent out.
@Demonxz95: Had not heard about it yet, the descriptions I've seen so far a pretty vague. What is it about? Would you recommend it?
It's kinda hard to explain without spoiling a lot of it, but (and I'm going to try here) the book's main themes are about love of education and love of life. It's about a boy named Milo who feels constantly bored all the time. One day he finds a mysterious package shipped to him containing a map and a tollbooth. This leads to him going on a grand adventure through the lands in his map in which he learns to love the life that previously bored him.
It's a very interesting book that I loved as a kid (which is tough for me because I tend to not like very many books). Even though it's often classified as a "children's book", it's arguably just as relevant and thought-provoking to read as an adult.
I've never actually played the Pokemon TCG at any point in my life despite the fact that my family used to have some of the cards for it, so this may be some incentive to try to get into it (even if I am already juggling Hearthstone, Legends of Runeterra, and a little bit of MTG Arena).
I was first introduced to Hearthstone when I watched my brother play it. I loved Yu-Gi-Oh when I was a kid, so this struck something with me right off the bat. A while later, I downloaded Battle.net and tried the game out. I've been playing the game since Blackrock Mountain, and even though I've been very on-and-off since joining, I am still here all this time later.
As the Mercenaries travel to Stormwind, Infinis finds himself accompanied with his newfound friends from The Barrens. Infinis sets off on a quest to find a special hourglass located somewhere along the area. Although he shows much promise in his abilities already, Infinis believes that this hourglass will allow himself to unlock his potential even further. Being a city known for its trading business, he also sets off to converse with the local business owners in hopes of finding more artifacts that he will be able to use. Little does he know on his journey that he's about to grow in power more than he ever thought before.
Ok i guess i have to rework my card are little - overall it is fine but a few people said it has not enough Tradeable flavour.
I mean the OP said:
You must create a card with Tradeable, or that synergises with the Tradeable mechanic
We're looking for direct synergies like Auctioneer Jaxon, not something more tangential.
I mean it is a Tradeable card - the OP said make this or that not both … but i guess if it will hurt my rating im going to rework it.
Edit:
Here is my first rework:
Hopefully it now has enough Tradeable Flavour :) - even tough im not sure if it is not too strong now - maybe get rid of the Immune? … also had the Idea that whenever this gets traded that the Attack will increase or something like that.
That's not what I meant by "Tradeable flavor". What I mean by "Tradeable flavor" is that most cards with Tradeable represent some aspect of acquisition whether it be something that acquire (such as Heavy Plate, Fire Sale, or Imported Tarantula) or a person that you acquire the item from (such as Impatient Shopkeep, Persistent Peddler, or Shady Bartender). Some of these are a little bit more broad when it comes to their theme of acquisition like City Tax or Overdraft, but the flavor idea is still there. You can argue some exceptions may exist, but for the most part, Tradeable cards all share this style of flavor.
Your card lacks Tradeable flavor because it doesn't have the flavor of acquisition that existing Tradeable cards have. It's not an item or service to buy, or a person who would offer that item or service. It's just a big hulking demon. Is he going to trade his axe with you? Is that why your hero gets the +1 Attack from when you Trade him? I could reasonably buy that, but the general flavor of the card doesn't make this too apparent. It would do a better job if the card had different art or even just a different name to suggest that he's a demonic ally who can trade weapons with you.
And I also agree with AeroJulwin. Another problem with the card is that the only reason you'd ever use it is just to use its on-Trade effect since you would never want to play a 5 mana 4/4 with no other effect. I like Tradeable cards that have a bonus effect when Traded, but there should probably also be a reason to actually play the card as opposed to just using it for trading.
It took forever, but I finally got a card design that I liked.
She's got an important letter and it's only for your eyes to read. And then she's gotta go back out to make another delivery.

Anchorm4n
Well you've already mentioned bolding Traded, so I won't hold anything against you there. I quite like the design of it, but now that all the cards are out, it does have quite a bit of overlap with Ignite.
Linkblade91
There are a few aspects of the card that I'm not too sure how they'll be received (namely being a Neutral hero card), but I quite like it. I can't help but feel that it's basically a "Warrior card that's painted gray", but then again, the actual set has about 5 or so Neutral cards that I would refer to as "Warlock card that's painted gray".
Wailor
To be honest, I'm surprised there wasn't a card that read "All cards in your hand have Tradeable", so this fills that for me quite well. I personally prefer the first art.
Hordaki
It's flavorful, but I feel like it's difficult to get any good value of it since it costs 6 mana and requires some trading. I feel like the wording is not perfect either.
Arkasaur
I quite like this. I personally prefer the -2 Cost version since it's more flexible as a 1-mana Shadowstep and can still be an effective Sap if you use it on something expensive.
R
I quite like Hukster either the name appears to be misspelled (should be "Huckster") and could probably use another word to give it some extra flair. While I do admire the simplicity of Contract Assassin, I do feel like it's unlikely to get a good score and once again, the name could probably be changed to have some extra flair.
Neoguli
I really like the flavor of Magical Seed although now that all the cards are revealed, I think it has too much overlap with Sow the Soil.
Bloodshard Satyr is a fine card in a vacuum, but I don't like that it's a dual-class card in a set that doesn't have any. By the time Year of the Phoenix rotates, it'll also (likely) be the only card in Standard that uses Soul Fragments.
Tipsi Wobblerune seems very weird. I'm not entirely sure how you'd get it to work from a UI perspective.
FieselFitz
A fine card, but I don't see very much in terms of Tradeable flavor.
Cydonianknight
As someone who really wants a "Duality Priest" archetype to happen now with the existence of spell schools, this card has my approval.
Lundy
I like Cloth Merchant. It's a simple but in a charming way that feels very believable. Honestly I'm surprised there wasn't anything like this in the set. I also like Shadoweave Trainer for the same reason, though its use of Tradeable doesn't feel as flavorful. I can't help but feel that Frostweave Trainer is probably meant to cost 1 more of have -1 stat somewhere if the effect is meant to be for enemies since it is otherwise a 2 mana 2/4 with an upside.
AeroJulwin
The text is a little bit confusing to read at first. You just have to take multiple readthroughs of it before you comfortably grasp what the card does. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a good way to simplify the wording and keep it doing what you want it to do.
I do quite like the idea of this "Triple-school Mage" or whatever you would call it, so the general idea gets a thumbs up from me.

"Valeera stands for loyalty. She won't stab you in the back."
The watermark! This version uses the one from Saviors of Uldum when the card is from Forged in the Barrens.
Believe it or not, I actually have seen a few Questline Warlock decks on ladder that included the card in their deck.
Finally got a card.
He's rough. He's rowdy. He's also super super tipsy and can barely stand up straight.
I love the fact that when she levels up, she has the whole "now you've gone and done it" look to her.

"What sort of messed up crossover fan fiction is this?"
If this wasn't already a thing, then it certainly is one now.

I'm not currently reading anything right now, but I have a question for you guys. How many of you here know about this book?
I've never actually played the Pokemon TCG at any point in my life despite the fact that my family used to have some of the cards for it, so this may be some incentive to try to get into it (even if I am already juggling Hearthstone, Legends of Runeterra, and a little bit of MTG Arena).
As a Pirate Warrior player, I would absolutely love to have that Garrosh skin.
As I'm currently making a custom expansion with a vacation theme, these artworks ended up being perfectly timed. And they're all awesome.
Is it just me or is Riot now slapping Quick Attack onto every champion?

Off of Anchorm4n's feedback (with very good points), I did make an adjustment to the card. Slightly different stats and now has Rush.

Redirect 666 damage from your hero to your opponent using Blightborn Tamsin.
Well that's going to take a hell of a long time to do.
