    It's a bit hard to work with. If you can cheat a large Deathrattle minion out (wink wink, Darkmoon Tonk, wink wink), then it can surely be strong and then that can be summoned again with Nine Lives. The downside to this is that you can't really run other types of minions since it might summon those instead. It'll surely receive some support in this set.

    It's quite slow to just play this on its own, but it's pretty good with Oblivitron if Mech Hunter can come back.

    Random Spells kinda counts as that.

    Congrats, Frosty! 

    It feels like it has been a while since we've had a winner that didn't come out first place in the first voting round. So I was wondering if that would change if the finalists got displayed in random order on the second voting page. Might be worth a try in season 3. 

    This is actually something that both of us noticed. For the most part had a very mixed bag of cards with a different finalist voting position versus their top 8 positions in the first round, whereas season 2 has mostly just been whoever makes it to the top of the initial voting will also be the top of the finalist voting. Why this is happening now, I'm not so sure

    Winner of the ice sculpting competition at Scholomance for all her years of attending. The icicle sculptures are so lifelike that they look exactly like the real thing.

    As with all mono-class Legendaries in Scholomance Academy, Crimson Shellen appears in the Duels mode and represents the Time Traveler class. Warped Clocks is the first available Hero Power for Crimson, and Course of Time is the first available treasure.

    Not quite all of them.

    One in particular involves learning about the faculty of the school and all who run it.

    Demon support, thoughts?

    You seemed to have imported the images wrong. No worries though.

    As for the card itself, it relies on way too much of a broad spectrum of randomness to be useful. Demons have such a huge range of sizes. The card could easily a 3 mana 1/1 with a downside if you get a small Demon (which as a small Demon itself, makes that more likely), or makes it exponentially powerful if you get something like Enhanced Dreadlord.

    I wouldn't go with this.

    Hint 1: Demon Hunter is part of the answer.

    Hint 2: It's not in Ashes of Outlands. It's from a set earlier than that.

    At this point, you've figured out all the card-related ones. For these last 3, you'll have to look elsewhere.

    I love the flavor of everyone's cards! I've been very busy the past couple of weeks, as far as feedback and discussion, but figured I'd post here in case there are any large comments before submitting.

    Problem here I notice is that it uses the same art as Desperate Stand. And it's in the same set!

    One other slightly unfortunate thing about the card is that you need to resurrect a Deathrattle minion or else it basically does nothing.

    I, for the life of me, will never understand why some people are so adamantly against K/DA appearing in LoR. Because it isn't canon to the LoL universe? Even if you do care about LoL lore, it's not like alternate universe cards appearing in LoR will "ruin" the lore in any way, and it doesn't mean they can't have more proper lore-focused expansions later.

    People got a little up in arms when Ragnaros, Lightlord was revealed, but then they got over it and accepted that Hearthstone isn't canon to WoW, and now it's a pretty widely accepted (and even renowned) part of the game. Same would happen with LoR if Riot eventually did it. This feels like a good way to kickstart the game's spread outside of traditional lore. There are literally only upsides that can come from allowing LoR to do this.

    Nope. Not a hero. Some other costume. An evil costume.

    It's not a card.

    Hint for number 1
    The hint for this one is all in the "squash" part of the clue.

    Hint for number 2
    "shadows rise" and "costume" - Put these two together.

    Hint for number 3
    Your Merry-Go-Round has suffered a Vehicle Malfunction breakdown. Probably those fiery horse vehicles that were installed.

    Quote From NebuchadnezzarHS

    Thanks, I will keep these constructive comments in mind if I decide to make another card submission in a future card design competition.

    I was unaware that adding cards to existing sets was considered okay. That was my only reasoning behind the usage of the Darkmoon Faire watermark, since that set is still unreleased and potentially might include a similar card as mine. Better to 'always' use a completely fictional watermark I guess (which I did not even notice when creating my card) ;-)

    Using a custom watermark is a good idea since there's no negative side-effects associated with using one.

    The way I've always seen it, using an existing set watermark isn't necessarily a sign that the card is being added to that set or replacing an existing card in that set (although it can occasionally be used for that purpose), but rather that the card is simply designed in a way to suit that set mechanically or flavorfully.

    Quote From NebuchadnezzarHS

    Please forgive my ignorance, but based on what criteria do you decide how to rank your votes? Is the wording and usage of correct English important at all?

    Different people will have different criteria for how they grade cards and consider some aspects more important than others. Proper grammar and English usage is probably one of the more ubiquitous ones.

    One thing about your card that stands out to me is the amount of set conflict it has. It uses the Darkmoon Faire watermark, uses a mechanic that might come back later but not in this set (dual-class cards), and a keyword exclusive to The Witchwood. You have three things exclusive to one set meshed into one card, which makes the card look unfocused. The watermark that you use on your card often reflects the creator's professionalism. I see a lot of submissions use Classic watermarks on cards that cannot exist in Classic (at least in its current state), usually in the form of a mechanic that does not exist in Classic. I've always given at least a 1-star penalty to cards with unfitting watermarks, and sometimes more if there's other implications from the set choice. If your card is not designed with any particular set in mind, then it's best to use a custom watermark.

    In the case of your card, set conflict reflects poorly on the card. You should either:

    • Make the card mono-class and move it to The Witchwood.
    • Keep the card dual-class, but move it to Scholomance Academy, and change Echo to "repeatable this turn".
    • Make the card mono-class and change Echo to "repeatable this turn".
