    I don't like Pick Lock because stealing cards from your opponent's hand/deck is a Priest thing. Rogue just takes random cards from another class.  I also don't like Mimic Pod because it feels weird and memey. I would get rid of those and keep SI:7 Agent and Cold Blood in the classic set.

    While I'm here, an apology: I stopped handing out feedback 'cause I'm taking a little break from the competition this week. Wasn't feeling good on my cards, and it bugged me when someone chewed me out for not giving others a chance to win. Sorry I haven't been participating.

    Thats not cool. Guess whoever said that should make better cards then :)

    Yeah I apologize for that. It was meant to be just playful teasing, I didn't mean for you to take it personally.

    I actually didn't ban the scroll. I saw the scroll, Y'shaarj, and Marin. I decided that those cards are all so bad that he must have an actual good card that I can't see, so I banned Nefarian. It didn't matter though because the only spell he cast was Magic Trick and then Simulacrum.

    My opponent was playing Y'Shaarj, Rage Unbound, Marin the Fox, Nefarian, and Shifting Scroll. So yeah, that was a pretty easy win. They also said "woops" for just about the entire game except for the turn before they died when they said "greetings".

    Some people are just plain weird.

    The main issue people had with my card was that you usually don't want that many spells in your Murloc deck. I made it work with spells because I have made other custom cards that work with a Murloc/Spell deck but I guess out of the context of those other cards it doesn't make sense. I made some adjustments to the card, what do you think?

    Thanks grumpymonk for the art! It gave me the idea to change the ability from Spells to Overload, which I think is a lot better.

    @grumpymonk, I like Fungal Giant the best. It is well balanced and Giants are cool. 

    @feuerrabe, I still like Cub Training the best. I also like the 3 mana draw 2 a lot better than the 4 mana draw 3. I would give it 5 stars, I have nothing bad to say about it.

    @Zeratia, I like Anacondra better. Also, there is already a card very similar to Lilliandra already submitted, so probably don't go with that. You should change the wording on Anacondra to say "Refill a Mana Crystal for each unspent Mana you've had this game" or something like that so that you don't need the italicized text in parentheses.

    @Thonsons, I really like it. Make Charge great again! I would make it a 3/2 though to keep it in line with other Charge cards.

    @CurseOfMech, I saw you already submitted your card, but I wanted to let you know you did it wrong. You don't put the art of your card where it says "Card Image", you put the actual card there. And you aren't supposed to put the card in the description box, that is where you write a little something about the card

    @Nirast, I think the card is fine. It isn't unbalanced or useless in a Quest deck. In fact, this card could help make Making Mummies consistent enough to be actually viable.

    @Elfensilver, The only thing I would change on your card is the watermark. I personally don't care a whole lot, but some people will dock a star or two if the card is placed in the wrong set. I think the card works fine as a classic card, but just be sure it is in an appropriate set. Other than that, the card looks great!

    @Sinth, The card is a bit weak. I don't see you ever getting more than 2 copies of this minion is a lot of cases. And sadly, even double Silverback Patriarch is still weak. I would adjust the stats and cost a little bit to be more effecient.

    @MurderFaece, I am worried that the card may be a bit too powerful. It has one less Health than Blinkfox to gain echo. Usually, Echo is worth 1 mana. I would make it a 3/1 or 2/2. Also, I don't think you need "From your opponent's class" in reminder text. I think it could just say "Add a random minion to your hand from your opponent's class" and it would be fine.

    @Thez, "Renew" should be in single quotes. I also think 2 mana may be a bit too little, but I am not sure. Maybe a 3 mana 2/1 would be good?

    @CursedParrot, this card looks perfectly balanced when compared to other "choose one" cards. The only issue I have with your card is that it is a bit bland. While there is nothing really wrong with the card, I don't think it will pique peoples interest enough to make it to the finals.

    It seems Morgl is the most popular. I found some new art and gave him a new name to fit. 

    I am not 100% satisfied with the art, but it was all I could find. If anybody else has anything better I would be very grateful. What do you think?

    @Shivershine, The wording is still kind of weird. If you only want the ability to trigger on your turn then it should say "Whenever this minion takes damage on your turn, give your hero +2 attack this turn only". Other than that the card is fine.

    @MurderFaece, I really like this card. Using Echo is a creative way to make it fit both quests. The only thing I would change would be to make it a Battlecry instead of Combo.

    @BasilAnguis, You are right and the card probably wouldn't be very oppressive in res priest. I was just worried that your opponent would be able to get 8 of these in a game and you would have to deal an extra 76 damage to kill the opponent. I just think that because of the 'big priest' vibe of the card, it might be a bit too easy to dislike.

    @Pokeniner, I agree with meisterz39 that pocket as a mechanic is cool, but it doesn't work on a stand-alone card because it is so complicated. I would save that idea for a custom expansion or class or something and try and come up with something else.

    @RenoLord, I don't like Onyxia's Whelp because if I were making a deck that has two quests that change your Hero Power, I wouldn't also want a Hero card that changes my Hero Power. I also don't like Twin Bloodstabers a whole lot because the enrage doesn't do anything on your opponent's turn. Murloc Gravedigger is pretty cool and so is Hatred Warlock. I would change Hatred Warlock so that it doesn't replace the card it discards. It should draw 1 with the risk of discarding it, not draw 1 with the option to replace it if you don't like it.

    @Xarkkal, Your card kind of reminds me of Ball of Spiders. It is a lot of mana to summon small minions. I think you could reduce it's cost to 4 or 5 and be okay.

    @economicaooc, This card is pretty OP. It is basically a 2/1 [Hearthstone Card (farsight) Not Found] for murloc decks, or an upgraded Novice Engineer for any other deck. I would make it say "Battlecry: If you control another Murloc, draw a Murloc and it costs (2) less" and maybe make it cost 3. This way it only works in Murloc decks.

    @anchorm4n, The main issue I have with the card is that it looks really clunky to play. The card is fine, it just isn't for me. I would vote it 3 stars as it is now, not too good, not too bad. Has potential, but doesn't appeal to me specifically.

    Adding rewards would mean adding an entry fee. I would rather the mode stay as F2P as it can. 

    That being said I really hate the tavern pass.

    I have adjusted some of the cards based on feedback. I dropped Zealous Priest because it seems to be the least-popular. I can't find any other art for Morgl except for the one on the Hero portrait.

    More feedback:

    @Xarkkal, It is a cool card but I am not too sure about it. I am not sure if there is a way to balance this card so that it isn't either too situational and slow to see play, or just way too OP. Because it hits the whole board, it either wins you the game or doesn't do enough to be worth it. I would make it only hit one murloc, and also adjust the stats to compensate. *edit* Nature's Wrath is super cool. If this card were printed I could see Quest Druid actually being a good deck because you can draw three 0-mana giant minions. I would definitely go with that one.

    @Demonxz95, Sorry if I have been overly critical about your cards. I guess we just have different styles. I think the main reason I tend to dislike your cards is because you are usually trying to push the limits for card design, I usually prefer cards to be simpler and more down-to-earth. Taking a second look at your card I guess it is fine. When I first saw it I didn't realized that it copied the minion, I thought it just returned the enchantments to your hand. After I had re-read the card I was still in the mindset of it not working with Making Mummies. 

    @Cg8889, I am not 100& sure if Druid of Patience would trigger Jungle Giants, but I would need someone else to confirm that for me. That aside, I like Blessed Templar the best, though I am not sure about the wording. Saying "a card with 'Blessing' in its title" feels a bit weird, but I don't know of any better way to word it. I think if it just added any buff spell to your hand you could find some way to word it that would read smoother.

    @grumpymonk, I like Murloc Sandrunner the best because the other two look a bit too janky. That being said I do think it is a bit too powerful because of the flexibility and raw stats it gives you. I think if it was a 3 mana 2/2 (or maybe a 2/3) and it gave you 2 mana 2/2s it would be better.

    @DestroyerR, I am pretty sure Impetuous Hellblade has no synergy with Fire Plume's Heart. I mean yes, it effects the Hero Power, but I don't think that counts.

    @Thonson, This looks pretty cool. It has good balance and flavor. I can't really find anything to criticize, I would vote 5 stars if you submitted the card as it is now.

    @CapnMunch, I would argue that having synergy with your hero power doesn't count. I am under the impression that the card has to help progress both of the quests. But that aside the card is very weak. Before you complete your quest it is just 4 mana gain 2 armor, but after you have completed both of your quests it is 4 mana 4/3 deal 8 damage to a random enemy which, while powerful, is still barely worth putting both quests in your deck. By the time you get this card fully pumped, it is so late in the game that it hardly matters if you get an above-average 4 mana card.

    @Nirast, Cool card, I do have some nit-picks though. For one, making it an epic is probably too much. This card is basically a slightly worse Shadowstep combined with a slightly worse Pilfer. You could easily make this a rare and it would be fine. Also, you have 5 lines of text which is too much. If you made it say "Return a friendly minion to your hand. Combo: add a random spell from another class to your hand." it would fit. Other than that, looks great!

    @bananenparty, The only two things I would change about this card is adjust the stats, and fix the wording. 2 mana 2/2 add 2 cards to your hand feels a bit too good, even if they are random cards. Also, what would happen if you are holding two different cards from another class? Would it pick one at random or would you be able to pick it? I would fix the wording to make that a bit more clear.

    @TheHoax91, I don't like this card a whole lot, but that it just my own personal taste. One thing I would change, I would remove the "if you play it" from the text as it seems a bit pointless. I guess it is there to prevent any combo from becoming too consistent, but it makes the card read kind of weird. Really though I would just listen to other peoples feedback because I really don't know what to think about this card.

    @BasilAnguis, This card is fine in a vacuum, but I don't think it would do too well in the competition. People hate Big Priest an awful lot. This card promotes a big priest style deck. I think most people are going to give this a low rating either because they don't want any cards directly supporting res priest, or give it a low rating because it is slow and underwhelming. 

    @Feuerrabe, Fel Drainer is a really weird mechanic and probably OP. Awakened Anubusiath Colossus is really dangerous because of OTKs. Sandwater Chargeleader is pretty good, but I would make it target a friendly minion, not random, and also add the word "random" between "a" and "murloc". Mummified Crusader needs new art because of [Hearthstone Card (bodywrapper) Not Found], and also is a bit dangerous because it effectively gives your buff spells permanent echo. Bribe costs way too much for what it does. Dalran Battlemage is basically Dune Sculptor but a 2 mana 2/2. Cleric of the Arena is fine I guess, but a little plain. Stalwart Axe is a bit dangerous because you can rack up huge amounts of damage with cards like Infested Goblin, nothing is stopping you from hoarding the axe until the end of the game to deal huge amounts of damage. Cub Training is probably my favorite. Though I would reduce the cost and only make it draw 2 minions because draw is supposed to be a weakness in hunter, so drawing three cards at once seems like a lot.

    @economicaooc, This card is too weak. Compare it to Grumble, Worldshaker, that card was never used except with Shudderwock. There is simply no point in playing this minion. Why bother going through all the trouble of spending 5 mana, then 1 more mana to play the murloc when you could just leave it on the field? Also you forgot to put a rarity gem.

    @Shuvershine, Does this work on your opponents turn to so that when a minion punches your face they take damage? If so then the card is pretty cool. Otherwise I would say the card is too weak.

    @Elfensilver, Geode Elemental is insanely OP when compared to Ice Rager, I have no idea how you can justify power-creeping a card so much. Just kidding, though I do think Old Mentor is the better card. I do think it should be a battlecry instead of a Deathrattle. It doesn't make sense that he would teach you a cool move after he died.

    @anchorm4n, I like Force of Will the best. Tunnel Guide is super dangerous and would probably bring to to fatigue in an aggro discard warlock. And Sylendra Gladesong is pretty weak because by the time you have enough mana to summon a treant of significant size, you have probably already completed your quest and have better threats to play.

    @Beatdoof, I really like Boarmaster. The other two look a bit dangerous because of infinite value shenanigans. I would give Boarmaster 5 stars as it is now, but that is just because I am a sucker for cool looking Hunter cards.

    Here are a couple of cards I brewed up.

    *edit* added Morgl. I realized that he had been in Hearthstone as a skin for so long, maybe he deserved to be a card as well.

    After making these cards I realize that I am missing a period at the end of all of the cards except for Zealous Priest. If there are any other grammer mistakes let me know.

    Which card do you like best?

    Feedback:

    Show Spoiler
    @Linkblade, The card looks fine. Can't find anything really wrong with it. It is useful, flavorful, not terribly powerful or weak. I would give it a solid 4 stars, withholding 1 star only because you have already won 3 competitions and we should probably give somebody else a chance in the spotlight.

    @Pokeniner, I like the flavor of the card, but the mechanics feel a bit weird. I don't really like that it fills your hand. If it only gave you 2 or 3 copies it would probably be a lot better so that it doesn't complete both quests all by itself and also so that you can play it without the combo and it feels a bit better.

    @MrRhapsody, The card is fine but you already submitted it and it didn't win. I don't think it will do too much better with a different prompt.

    @Demonxz95, I don't like this card because it doesn't really have synergy with Making Mummies. You say it does because you can play it on a reborn minion to play again, but that feels like a bit of a stretch to me. Any argument you could make to say that this has synergy with the Making Mummies quest could also be used to say that this has synergy with Murlocs because it can copy Murlocs.

    @MenacingBagel, This card looks just like a card Blizzard would print for an archetype that is actually really bad in the game. I really like where this card is going, but I just don't think it would actually see any play if it were real.

    @thepowerofcheese, This card is exactly Alleycat but murlocs. I would try and think of something a bit more unique.

    @Conduiut, Wow, that is a lot of cards. My favorites are New Plan!, and Clumsy Alchemist. I like New Plan! because it looks fun and interesting, and I like Clumsy Alchemist because it creates interesting board states and trades. Some grammer nit-picks; New Plan! should say "and" instead of the period. And "Health" should be capitalized on Clumsy Alchemist.

    @Wailor, My favorite card is Recurring Thief. Mainly because Darkspear Survivor looks pretty under-powered and (as you mentioned) Chumsayer is way over-powered. However, I do really like the idea of Chumsayer, but it is just way too OP as it is now. The wording on Recurring Thief is a bit weird though. I am not 100% sure how to fix it, but it is a bit clunky to read as it is. 

    @Hordakai, I really like Trans-Mrrgl-Fier a lot. It gives puts your Basic Totems to good use and it can also be used to upgrade your smaller fishy-men.

    @meisterz39, Hakuna Matata is funny, but a bit weak. Fiery Warbringer also is a bit weak just because you have to put so much work into getting a lot of value out of it. And Better Part of Valor doesn't really have direct synergy with Making Mummies. I would stick with Hakuna Matata just because I think it is the most unique, but I would up the power-level of the card.

    @DecentOfDragonsOP, Drawing that many Murlocs on just one card without any kind of set-up is a bit scary. I would make it a 2/2 or maybe increase the cost to 6 mana.

    @inconspicousuarus (I think I spelled that right), I like the second version the best. The first one feels a bit forced with the Reborn. I don't really have anything to criticize. The card looks fine in every way.

    @Shaveyou, I like Mummified Monkey. It is just humorous enough to be a Hearthstone card, but it is also very practical with how flexible and versatile it is. One thing I would change, I would make it 4 mana and give you 2 bananas when it dies. With the cost/stats and number of bananas it gives you, it is virtually the same as Banana Buffoon.

    Maiev will give you the minion once it wakes up. You are essentially buying a minion for 2 less gold but you have to wait 2 turns to get it.

    I wish they gave you more champions when you first started playing.

    There are a ton of cool decks I want to try but I simply cannot build them because I don't have the champions. Champions are essential to deck-building, if I am missing a champion for a deck, I simply can't build it. Period. It would be nice if they gave you more champion wild cards in the beginning or at least more random champions.

    Props to whoever submitted the Sylvanas Prime card. Looks like there was no need to worry about lots of Sylvanas submissions but the one that did come around eventually is far better than mine. Good luck!

    I gave it 3 stars because the first version is really cool and a good set-up for the prime version, but I think the prime is way OP when compared to the other prime cards.

    You know you don't have to post an image with the word "wild" on it every time there is an article featuring wild decks.
