That would be the Deathrattle Version - and i also made it into a Beast.
Another Version:
But i thought that would be too similiar too North Sea Kraken. So i came up with another Version:
So far im not sure which one i like best. So far my Favourites are the Original One but adding the Beast Tag or the Second Version with Deathrattle Damage to all minions.
and it is now an Epic Card because i think the abilities and the Stats suit a Epic Card more than a Rare.
Not entirely Sure about the changes tough.
-------------------
Also tried another Version. This is like the Original Version but i changed the stats to 3/3
--------
Heres another One where i changed from Draw a spell to Discover a Spell.
The only concern i have about this one. Should the Discovered Spell be under some kind of restriction? like Discover a Spell that costs (3) or less for example?
Gonna edit a little bit and maybe post other versions. So far i like the Rare ones better than the Epic Version.
I decided to let it stay a Mage Minion because of the Abilities. I also changed the Watermark to Scholomance because as suggested it fits the Card better.
Shoot , was realy hoping for the Finals this Time ... Maybe on the Next one.
but i also find some of the Good cards i was Sure to See in the Finals Not in the Voting ... And Others i thought will Not make it are ... Personal referrence only tough :)
4 Mana 4/3 is pretty Nice. The giving Beasts a Deathrattle Mechanic is also nice and suits Hunter pretty good - however i would change the Deathrattle into something more suitable for Hunter - restoring Health equal to its cost would never be a thing for Hunter - i think. Sure it suits the Flavour of the Card Competition a little bit better but i personaly do not like this form of Heal for Hunter - and it also doesn't specify what will be healed ? is it random or you mean to your Hero?

I like the Buff Change even tough this could be pretty strong early on. Also like the Change that this can now shoot for Face Damage. Suits Hunter pretty good and i also would keep it at 4 Mana because like you said - the 3 Mana Spot in Hunter is pretty crowded. I like it and i think it is good to go :)
Thank you for all your feedback, everyone. It seems everyone agreed my first idea was a bit too bland and a bit too strong (and it also seems people either love my name or hate (to spell) it, haha).
I have come up with another idea, but it was really tough to find appropriate art. I was hoping to find something vaguely wow-styled that showed a cafeteria lunch with like a fish head or something, but that proved far too obscure. I thought with an image like that and the punny name it would be perfect for Scholomance. I hope this still gets the idea across? Is it clear that it's the number of piranhas that increases whenever a friendly minion dies? This would have to be in the hand for it to count up, but "while this is in your hand" has been variously included or not with no apparent consistency, so I left it off to save text.
Looks decent - i would spell out the 3 (Summon three 1/1 Piranhas ...) cause i think the it would make the text look more smothly because of the 1/1 numbers afterwards.
And thx for all the feedback to everyone :)
Normally this would be correct.
However, since the number of piranhas is what is being upgraded, using 3 in numeric form is actually correct here.
Ah ok, yes that makes sense!
Thx for clearing that up!
Heres my "new" Version - i zoomed in on the Pic a little bit.

I personaly would change the stats to 3/6 and loose the windfury.
Give a friendly Minion +2/+2 and a 50% Chance to attack the wrong Enemy.
Thats what i would do.

I for myself do not have a problem if an old art is used - sometimes its realy hard to find the right art so personaly think its ok to use old art or art that we know from other cards etc.
The Effect seems pretty interesting … not sure about the Stats but i guess they are fine.

I like Conjure Food because of the lore background you've provided. Maybe you can find better art for it?

If it was my card I'd drop the Scholomance watermark and go for a custom one. The card doesn't relate to Scholomance and some people will punish you for this (including me). I'd also toy around with the text to see if you can manage to avoid the single word in the last line ("orphan").
Ok, always thought i should pick the Watermark for the most recent Expansion. How can i make a custom one?
Will try to mess with the text so i can get rid of the single word.
Thx
Edit:
Still not sure how i did it but i messed around a little and got a Costum Watermark - it didn't work at first but i still got it :)
Also messed with the Text so i do not have a Single Word in the last line.
Changed the effect because like anchorm4n mentioned - it didn't realy suit the theme that well :) and i also liked his idea and it is more suitable for the theme too.
Also made him 5 instead of 4 Mana and therefor changed his stats a little bit too.

I like the Secret. Not Sure about the "Text Formation" - Maybe something like:
Secret: At the start of your turn, restore 4 Health to your Hero and gain 1 Mana Crystal this turn only.
I think that sounds better than "When your turn starts"
About the Recipe and the Pie:
Nice Idea and not much to add but i like the Secret better.
Thanks for the feedback! The text format is actually taken after Competitive Spirit. Not sure if i should use a more modern text like the one you gave, or stay in line with previous iterations of this sort of secret.
Ah ok, i personaly would prefer the modern text but i guess the other one is ok too. Just a personal reference.Quote From anchorm4n
Alright just forget about the Dragon (and the Squirrel I edited out because it was awful). I had to dig hard, but I've found some nice fitting art and I'm excited to hear what you think about this:
Do you think the balance is okay? I thought it important to restrict the damage dealt to minions. I could imagine making it cost 5, deal 3, buff +2/+2 or cost 3, deal 2, buff +1/+1. #makehunterwinawcdc
I like it. I think the Balance is good alltough 3 Damage can kill a lot of minions these days but i still think the card is fine.

Demonxz95 The Art is freakin Funny :) I think the Card looks a bit Strong - i never underestimate 0 Mana Spells and therefor i think it should at least cost 1.
Cg8889 I kinda like the Idea about the delayed removal. And if it gains the removal stats it's a 5 Mana 5/5 - so i guess its a decent card. So far nothing to add from my perspective.
Inconspicuosaurus Wow - first of, writing your Name was not easy :) I think the card is very strong because there are lots of Beasts out there that see play - and for a 1 drop this would easily see play in lots of decks. And also it is like you mentioned very similiar to Hungry Crab - also im not feeling the theme with this one somehow …
Valor1204 Cool art and Nice Idea. The Deathrattle Effect in combination with the Reborn kinda reminds me of Karthut Defender :) But i kinda like it.
Hordaki Fun card - i can realy see this one work - but i do not feel the theme with this card. Sure he drinks or is drunk but for me personaly it doesn't suit the theme.
linkblade91 Im talking about Curious Catering because you said we should forget the turtle :)
I realy like it - always liked Zoo-ish decks and the card suits Zoo good and hits the flavour pretty good too i think.
Kansas: I think Fish Dinner is a good card - not sure about the Mana Cost. This could be pretty strong early on even with the Sacrifice effect.
Arkasaur: Kinda cool but could be very annoying to play against - not sure if 1 Mana makes this card too strong.
grumpymonk: Hits the Theme pretty well! I think it is fine as a Dual Class Card. So far nothing too add except i think it could be to strong for 1 Mana.
Pokeniner: Looks like a decent card but i'm not feeling the theme with this one. The Card itself is interesting but i guess it does not realy suit the theme.
BloodMefist: Hahaha i love it - but i also love Gordon Ramsay , so i may be biased against this one :)
Neoguli: Like the idea behind the effect. Overall good card - so far nothing more to add.
anchorm4n: Well so far i like the first one better but i do not feel the theme for both of the cards. Also the Squirrel looks too strong.
TheHoax91: Interesting card. One Question about the Ability - if he attacks a minion that would kill it - does he eat it, gain the stats and survive or how would it work?
JackJimson: Wow , even as a conditional board clear this seems too strong - at least for 2 mana. Maybe cut the life gain to fit Hunter a litte bit better.
Well i check the site almost everyday (browse through forums or look up some decks) - only exception is if im on vacation :)
Checked it a lot lateley because of the Design Competition and more frequently around a expansion but i still check the news or new Posts but only regarding Hearthstone.
That would be the Deathrattle Version - and i also made it into a Beast.

But im still working on different Versions. Just wanted to throw the first one out there for feedback :)
Also thought about Changing the Battlecry into a Deathrattle.
Damn, was pretty sure to reach the finals this Time... Maybe on the next one and Good luck to the finalists!
Thx for all the Feedback - i went with Version 3 and submitted it.
Good Luck to everyone!
Thx for all the Feedback.
New Version:
Changed:
Mana Cost from 4 to 5
Spell Damage from 1 up to 2
Changed the Stats overall from 2/4 to 3/6

Not sure tough if i should make it a Mage Minion. Warlock, Mage or Shaman - so far i choose Mage.

Congrats to the Winner!
