Any thoughts on this? Is it even useful? I like the idea of copying the hero, getting to play with heros you might not have. It'd also change how thief rogue synergy stuff works. Something like Vendetta would now trigger it's own discount. Your discover effects would also change to your opponent's class.
Should I change it to 'Copy your opponent's class, Hero and Hero Power'? Or is that redundant?
Would probably be best to put it on a minion so it isn't a completely dead card in mirror matches. Besides that, I love the idea
Am i allowed to give my card ANY watermark (even ones that don‘t exist in HS) there are on hearthcards?
Any watermark is fine.
For the sake of realism, I would suggest trying to follow "continuity" in terms of non-launch keywords (for example, no using Discover on cards before LoE), although this isn't necessarily a rule. Any custom watermarks are also allowed at any time.
Thank you everyone for your feedback regarding Summon/Call Weapon. Let me reciprocate:

Hordaki - I like it. Pretty straight-forward, and reined in by the 1-Attack. Keeps it from killing anything besides Lackeys (in the mirror, obviously lol).
shaveyou - I think the Faceless card is more interesting, although adding two copies seems very powerful. With the vanilla stats, I think you might need to reduce it to a single copy (or the reverse: reduce its stats). Wish you used a non-Classic watermark.
Dermostatic - Big spells for free - such as Eureka! or Eye of the Storm - is a scary thought. The other option is that you can spam board clears you've accumulated, knowing that you will only lose the Murloc in the process.
thepowrofcheese - I like Copycat: it seems flavorful and balanced. Could use a different watermark, though.
LarryMoments - My first thought when I saw the Squire was handbuff, although they've all left Standard by now. Magnetize works, of course, but there's a lot more set-up and luck of the draw involved in such a combo. All-in-all I think the idea is a bit on the difficult side, but could still see it working out in an enjoyable way.
Demonxz95 - Not a fan of the mirror-effect, being able to summon copies of enemy minions that were healed. Not sure if it's intentional or not, but it seems weird to me.
I just realized this card that I made a while ago actually fits perfectly.
(I just realized that I'm starting to use 250 as a size now thanks to these competitions)

Linkblade: A summon usually refers to some sort of sentient being, so "Summon Weapon" is a bit weird of a name, although it isn't technically incorrect grammatically. Love the effect, though I don't think Paladin has the large weapons in Standard to make this useful.
Hordaki: Really like it. Reminds me of Shaku, but it has a better-centered focus in my opinion.
Thepowrofcheese:Incinerate might be kinda dangerous, but I admit the design is pretty neat. I think Copycat is a much safer idea, and the pun is great.
Shaveyou:Reformed Patron is pretty hilarious, and it could be decently strong. Faceless Interloper is decent Thief Priest support (something that I would actually like to see some support for in the next expansion), giving your opponent a free draw is fairly steep, although a Thoughtsteal-like effect for a 1 mana 3/6 kinda makes that worth it.
Dermostatic:Gibblegill could probably be worded the same way as Night Prowler. Beyond that, it seems like you need quite a fair bit of setup to make this effect work well. It can undoubtedly work pretty well if you get it off though.
I apologize if this competition was too hard for a lot of people. In retrospect, this competition might've been too hard for it only being the second one on this site.
"One thing they all have in common is they each only feature a single Champion. Sometimes you just gotta go solo!"
Vincent Grand: "Am I a joke to you?"
I don't think that necessarily sets in stone that he will be unnerfed though. Just that they discussed it. Does have some good groundwork though.
Where did you see that?
It's better, but I don't think "original" should be bolded. There are also some grammar, and HS syntax mistakes.
Trying wording it as "Add a 0-Cost copy of a minion to your hand. Take damage equal to double its original Cost."
The most important thing is that you forgot to make it a spell
I'll remember the days when Shivershine and I are the only people to have the WCDC winner border.

Yeah, definitely a bug.

Mirroring is quite common among healing effects: Northshire Cleric, Lightwarden, Holy Champion, Shadowboxer, etc. I guess I was just trying to follow that design space.

Nice theme. Gotta put my thinking shoes on.
Go figure I'd win my own competition, lol.

That Jinx board actually looks really badass.
It was really fun to work on this community set together. If any of you ever get an opportunity to be part of one, try it.
I also thought about this as well. The original version I had was worded to circumvent that.
Everyone on Discord though told me that it didn't need it, so I posted it without it.
Beyond that, I don't think it's that difficult to deduce what the intention was.
I'd actually love to see another Elemental expansion because it's been a while since the tribe got some real love.
Black Cat
A tribal minion in a class that usually doesn't receive that tribe (in this case, Beasts in Mage).
Had I remembered about those when I made this prompt, I would've said yes.
However, as it isn't specified in the rules, it's probably best that you don't.
