Demon - I'll repeat what I said on Discord: I like it, just think the 4/12 stat-line is weird.
DescentOfDragonsOp - I agree with Demon, the card is very polarizing. If you're ahead already this card is a guarantee winner; if you're losing this is a death-sentence. I'm not sure it's a good idea.
anchorm4n - As others have said you really need it to say "other friendly minions" to avoid an infinite loop. A minor gripe I have is the 7/5 stat-line: I think making her a 5/5 like her original iteration earns you flavor points. Other than that, I think the idea is kind of…I don't know, obvious?
CursedParrot - I think the idea is neat, while still coming back to the original Malchezaar. 5 dead Legendaries is a high number to reach, but again it calls back to the first iteration so I don't begrudge it.
MenacingBagel - This is a major departure from the original Brightwing, but then again so was Dinotamer Brann so it's not an immediate deal-breaker. I'm not a fan of the stat-line because I think it should try to stay close to the original iteration, and I think making the Sheep tokens 1/5s is weird; all sheep-producers make them 1/1, so why stop now? I guess that's to make them more sturdy and this Brightwing less overpowered, but it's still a weird incongruity.
Inconspicuosaurus - I agree with Demon: Legendary "tech cards" are a feel-bad idea.
shaveyou - I was trying to come up with a Paladin version of Sally myself, but I gave up on the idea. I think this version is a little strange: making your opponent's cards cost more is a weird thing for the Paladin (I know Rebuke exists, but still), and attaching it to a Deathrattle is especially weird. I prefer Saraad, who connects back to his original iteration better while still being different and new
Pokeniner - While twisting Kael'thas like that is cool, making him a KFT card well before the vanilla Kael'thas card existed is very off-putting for me. Also like Demon said the Combo potential is high, wherein your opponent controlling the board suddenly becomes a detriment against them because each of their Frozen minions contributes to your cost-reduction. Throw down some Wisps or Snowflipper Penguins first, Freeze them too, and suddenly your Pyroblasts are free. The card is probably okay, but I hate Combo so I'm definitely biased against it.
Conduit - I prefer the 4-mana Millhouse if-only because I would prefer not to give my opponent access to the random spells, but I will admit that the 2-mana version better captures the persona of Manastorm. I will say that, if you go with the 4-mana version, he should be a 4/4/4 to better match his original iteration.
TheHoax91 - Obviously a much better Ice Block, but it's a Legendary so hopefully that's okay. The Hero Power is crazy-strong, though, so I'm not sure how I feel about that. My main concern is that, combined with something like Awaken the Makers, Priests would just become impossible to kill.
MrRhapsody - I agree with Conduit: I think the Medivh/Medivh Prime combo is the best one. The Mage summoning random Demons is weird, to be sure, but it connects back to Medivh's lore as being possessed by a Demon and whatnot, so it makes sense on a thematic level.
Edit: Didn't see you there KANSAS; my bad. I like it, and he probably would have saw more use than Swamp King Dred ever did lol. I just think he should stick with the 5/5 stat-line to better match the original Mukla. I guess I'm kind of a stickler for that, looking over my group-feedback haha
Do tri-class cards count? Also, any other feedback on this would be nice. :)
We're fine with Tri-class cards, as they are technically class cards despite their Neutral coloring and location in your Collection. Slight bending of the prompt's intent, maybe, but still within the barriers of the competition.
As for feedback, wouldn't you accomplish something similar by just summoning another Jade? This is technically worse than that, because you don't gain another body like you do with Aya Blackpaw. The flavor overlap is significant, as well, considering there already is a Tri-class card focusing on Jades.
Can we submit token legendaries like Thaddius or VOLTRON?
As in, make a class card out of VOLTRON? I would say no, because they are not collectible. For the same reason I would say no to Chromie, even though she is technically a Neutral Legendary card.
On the subject of people voting way too harshly... How in the hell are Incendiary Chicken and Grand Apothecary Putress worthy of 13 1 star ratings?!?! I'm curious to know how any of the cards in the final were worthy of a 1 star rating? Are people not voting on a 5 star basis in the finals, but marking them by "favorite to least favorite"? If so, we should change the voting of the finalist cards to rating from 1-8 instead of a 5 star system.
Don't know about anyone else, but when it comes to the finals I basically always give out 5-stars or 1-star. 5-stars for the card I want to win, and 1-star for everyone else. At that point we're looking for a sole winner, so I give the card I want to win the maximum chance of victory. This is especially true if I'm one of the finalists: frankly, how else should I vote? I would be shooting myself in the foot and jeopardizing my chances to win by giving someone else more than 1-star. I don't do this during the regular voting period, but I absolutely do so if I'm in the finals.
On a side note, we (the moderators) have been discussing the possibility of removing the ability to vote for finalists if you yourself are a finalist. That would remove the situation I just described, wherein the meta way to "play the game" is to vote 5-stars for yourself and 1-star to everyone else.
Here we go; let me start things off :) I'm pretty happy with this one:
It's a reference to The Lich King, of course. Being a Pure Paladin card represents Arthas' zealotry, while the effect represents the Culling of Stratholme, a major moment in his character development (i.e: his descent into madness).
Not really. We know it's a linear story (so not a Dungeon Run), and we know that it won't include any new cards for classes. We know nothing about its release date.
Hopefully we should be seeing something for it soon, 'cause this has been a really long wait.
I despise Murlocs in all forms, but especially Murloc Paladin. My reasons are two-fold:
Murlocs embody aggressive/Aggro techniques, and as a Mid-range/Control player I don't like such decks.
Murlocs being a Paladin thing is frankly insulting. They have nothing to do with Paladins thematically; Murloc Knight was a one-off joke that has gone way too far. Dragons make more sense, Mechs make more sense: stick with them, please, and finally ditch these stupid fish bastards.
Edit: It upsets me a lot that Murloc Paladin is doing fine, whereas an actually interesting archetype like Libram Paladin is such a failure.
I want to ask for more feedback for my card. What did you vote and why? What could I have done better? And what should I do better next time?
In the interest of honesty I gave the card a three, although it could have been a four I suppose. There's nothing inherently wrong with the card, I would say, but I didn't find it particularly novel or exciting. It's alright, in just about every aspect. Alright flavor, alright balance (maybe a little strong), and alright creativity. I imagine some would find it un-fun, though, as I said originally, so that might have hurt the vote.
Thinking back I noticed I've been pretty harsh in my votes lately. Something I need to think about/fix on my end.
I would say the card is underpowered, given that you have to spend at least 6-10 mana to accomplish anything. All of this to only provide a 3/3 on the table; I think you could drop it down to 4 or maybe even 3 cost. I know it could probably be abused with Shadowstep and the like but you're still using up your entire turn for this.
That being said, "Coins" needs to be capitalized :P Better hurry!
The shadow-assassin is Zed, and the guy wielding the big axe is Darius (who is not above villainous behavior himself). Zed comes from Ionia while Darius comes from Noxus, two regions of Runeterra (which function to partition the game, like Magic's colors or Hearthstone's classes). The battle at the end appears to be an Ionia + Shadow Isles deck versus a Noxus + Demacia one.
It's definitely hard to juggle multiple card games, but I would suggest giving it a shot anyway if you're up to it :D They're handing out freebies to get people started, and there's bonus XP for leveling up certain regions to get you going even faster.
This is the first time I am trying to make a custom card. Is it balanced/makes sense?
First of all: welcome to the website! And double-welcome to our side of things :D It's cool to see new faces.
Second: the card makes sense, but it is an odd duck in-that I don't know why it's a Rogue card; "Corrupting" has always been a Warlock thing. Other than that, it's a much better Recycle but Recycle is both old and bad, so maybe it's okay. Not a bad first effort at all!
However be aware of the fact that if you draw from the empty deck of the opponent YOU are going to loose because it doesnt matter from which cardless deck you drew
As for the topic at hand, I haven't played the game in a while so my resources aren't super impressive - only 23k shards. I really like Miss Fortune, and Sejuani would definitely go in my Frostbite deck, but to make three of each would be most of my shards. Doesn't leave a lot of stuff for the supporting cards...
I noted that some people find it weird that the frog can attack things other than what it pulls, so I made a variant to gauge which is better. Original on the left, new one on the right:
The new Toxic Longtongue pulls its phrasing from Wild Bloodstinger, as grumpymonk noted. It no longer has Rush because it's guaranteed to specifically attack the minion it summons, for better or worse. As-to why it has 3/1 stats...I don't know, I just picked something lol. I wanted it to have 1 Health to ensure it would die, to compensate for the Poisonous. It's the inverse of Vilebrood Skitterer.
Feedback time!

Characters that already have a class card are not allowed. Ragnaros, the Explorers, Dr. Boom, etc. We want to recruit new characters!
We're fine with Tri-class cards, as they are technically class cards despite their Neutral coloring and location in your Collection. Slight bending of the prompt's intent, maybe, but still within the barriers of the competition.

My finalist streak has come to an end :( All well. I'll admit it wasn't the best this time around.
Anyway, good luck to our finalists!
Submissions are now closed; best of luck to everyone :)
My prompt is next...what could it be?
I would say the card is underpowered, given that you have to spend at least 6-10 mana to accomplish anything. All of this to only provide a 3/3 on the table; I think you could drop it down to 4 or maybe even 3 cost. I know it could probably be abused with Shadowstep and the like but you're still using up your entire turn for this.

Edit: Didn't you submit the Warlock card already?
The shadow-assassin is Zed, and the guy wielding the big axe is Darius (who is not above villainous behavior himself). Zed comes from Ionia while Darius comes from Noxus, two regions of Runeterra (which function to partition the game, like Magic's colors or Hearthstone's classes).

Finally got around to watching them all, and this is definitely the best one.
Black Market Merchant, Yordle Grifter, and Pilfered Goods can steal cards from the opponent's deck. There may be more; I'm just going from what I remember off-hand.
As for the topic at hand, I haven't played the game in a while so my resources aren't super impressive - only 23k shards. I really like Miss Fortune, and Sejuani would definitely go in my Frostbite deck, but to make three of each would be most of my shards. Doesn't leave a lot of stuff for the supporting cards...
Miss Fortune and Sejuani - two of my mains from League - in the same deck together? I love it!
I noted that some people find it weird that the frog can attack things other than what it pulls, so I made a variant to gauge which is better. Original on the left, new one on the right:

Edit: Should I make it a Hunter card instead?
