One thing I would like to add is that we usually update this at the end of a day, so if you see a card that crosses off a square, don't expect the square to immediately be crossed off. If that happens, we haven't ignored the square. We're just waiting until the end of day where we may end up grabbing several squares at once.
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 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.

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 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.
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.

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.
Oh, and congrats Frosty. Pretty good win!

Wait, this isn't GoliathTheDwarf.
WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT DID YOU DO WITH OUR LOREMASTER!?
Not quite all of them.
One in particular involves learning about the faculty of the school and all who run it.
Hey, there's a freebie for ya.

I wouldn't go with this.
Hint 2: It's not in Ashes of Outlands. It's from a set earlier than that.
I'm kinda disappointed that nobody pointed this out yet:
