    I agree, most of the Rogue secrets don't appeal to me either. My favorites are Counter Shot, Saving Grace and Maternal Instinct in that order, they all got 5 stars from me. 

    I'm not sure what to do about the "go dormant for 2 turns" issue. I will definitely give them all the same rating since I don't know if one of them knew of the others and I don't see any major differences between them (no spelling mistakes, art looks good on all of them, ...). I would initially have given 4 stars, maybe even 5, but that doesn't feel right anymore with three identical entries. I reduced my votes to 3 stars for the moment but I will think some more about it till the deadline tonight. It's a hard decision for me. Is someone willing to discuss how they are rating these cards and why?

    Honestly, i think in cases like "Go Dormant for 2 turns", you should be evaluating each card in a vacuum. More so in our weighted system, where we show cards "randomly", so each has roughly the same amount of view time. You can notice which card was submitted first, if you vote continuously, but if it is the first time you came to a voting screen, you dont know which of these were made 1st. Which is kinda the point tho.

    Personally, i rated those cards based on their execution, some of them have a pretty great flavor to them, while some are not as good, i gave them scores based on that, not the "copied" mechanic itself (it was an obvious one to do, so cant fault anyone for that), which i think is fair.

    At first i thought it was kinda awkward, the Chum the Waters ... but it does no have Fleeting, that makes it so much better!

    This seems far too inconsistent. Also, because of the plunder requirement this unit can’t really be played on turn 1, which makes it a lot worse.

    I generally agree with all this.  The one upside is he could potentially juice a Heart of the Fluft so this might push Bilgewater into the preferred second region for Poro decks, but realistically all Poros are just not meant to be played.

    While i agree, all you really need for Fluft is Overwhelm. So this is just "extra memes", but with some hand/deck buffing, it could work, it is a Poro after all.

    Oh, this sucks but I guess even if I did not make an sucessful entry I have still learned quite something, so it has not been in vain.

    Thats the spirit! Looking forward to your next weeks card :)

    I have tried all the above and whenever I click the link I get a new tab open up with just:-

    {"detail":"Not found."}

    Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

    Try this.

    Quote From KANSAS

    Personally, I think the best thing to do would be to make the hero power cost 2 mana like everyone else's, and make it give +2 attack instead of +1. I think the 1 mana hero power is a design flaw in the class. In most cases, you hero power shouldn't be central to your decks strategy. It shouldn't be as efficient as Demon Hunter's is. A hero power should just be that thing you do with your extra mana if you don't have anything else to play. As it is now, it feels like every Demon Hunter is an Even DH only without the deckbuilding restriction.

    I dont agree with you there. New class is a new concept and that alone breaks many the old stigmas, so saying that "Hero Power should just be that thing you do with extra Mana" doesnt sound like a good argument to me. Tho maybe it will end up like that, once it gets more cards and its archetypes can branch out. Obviously it feels very one dimensional on release when the card pool is small and cards are designed for a specific archetype to go along with everything else in the class, Hero Power included. You could look at it the opposite way, this is how every class should have been, their Hero Power be their calling card, not "something to do with spare mana" :)

    Can I somehow remove my submission? 

    Unfortunately no, we do not allow people to edit or remove their cards after submitting :( We always suggest people come here first if they want feedback on their ideas.

    I can understand not making the card editable, but what about the description below it? Say you make a typo in it?
    Also totally missed this thread before I submitted my entry. Used to posting in a forum submission thread and all that. Guess the HearthPwn version of the competition I always played in needs to phase out of my head.

    What I made (might help someone avoid making a copy):

    While I really like this idea, there's already one submission which is nearly identical (minion goes dormant when played) and Elfensilver showed us another version of it 8 posts above of yours (hunter version, though). You can check the already submitted entries on your voting page. As I have no idea who had the idea first, I would give all of you the same raiting, but that's only my view and I wanted to let you know that there are similar cards around.

    Thanks. Going through all 40+ submissions by refresh though is going to get old very fast.

    Why not just show all submissions on the page with a random order? That way everyone sees different cards first or last and you can much much more quickly look and see if your idea is present or not. 40 images isn't exactly server breaking (and you could auto-generate lightweight thumbnails of them for that page if needed).

    I'd submit a different card now given the other Rogue Secret with Dormant in the pool but sadly I can't remove my entry. Shouldn't it be possible to modify/update/replace your entry until the voting phase starts? Until then no one can vote, so what's the harm right? Otherwise whoever throws down a card quickly enough will get free additional votes by virtue of being present on the voting page earlier. Timezones alone would make that unfair.

    Maybe a timer or a specific amounts of views would be needed to lock in your card before the voting phase?

    As soon as you can submit, you can vote.

    • Submission Phase: Enter the competition and vote on everyone's submissions.
    • Voting Phase: Last chance to help us choose the finalists. Get those votes in - Good luck!

    Voting period is just an extra period to give ppl time to vote. Our weight system makes sure that the cards with less views are shown more often so that every card has roughly the same amount of votes, or rather it gets roughly the same amount of view time, ppl can decide not to vote on a card. So even the very late submission generally get fair amount of view time to be voted on. Prime example is the last weeks winner, it was literally the last submission, yet it won the whole thing!

    You can see all the cards you voted on on your Voting Page, as said. We might add an option to see all at once at some point.

    Submissions are closed for editing for a reason and you are given warning that is the case. We might change this in the future, but no change for now.

    Naw, you guys are making total sense. I'll try to keep it tasteful, but hey, I'm as opinionated as the next player and do enjoy a good drink with my forum thumping. I'll keep it to a minimum is what I'm trying to say, haha

    So far really enjoying the tone here. Hearthpwn is just obequitous 'jump-down-the-throat on what op posted'. Pick any random thread and the first reply is always one sentence knocking someone down no matter how relevant or not what they had to say was. Yay for being over it

    We are not saying turn into a yes-man and dont argue with anyone, just do it in a respectful manner ;-)

    Wish I'd looked in this thread before submitting my card, but here's Swindle:

     

    Swindle

     

    Rogue always appreciates cheap cards for activating Combos, so Swindle kind of handles that for the class. Plus, if Secret Burgle Rogue ever becomes a thing, this would fit nicely with that deck. I decided to make it Rare because it's fairly easy to play around, but has a high ceiling. This is also my first submission ever on here. Thanks for looking!

    I love everything about your card, except for the watermark. Makes no sense that Rogue would have one Secret from a Classic set for years before getting a new one. Let this be a reminder to others to be mindful of this. It is better to use custom watermark, if you cant put it in KAC or AOO, or give it a good flavor that it would make sense to be a standalone one in one of the sets in between. There is one submission which did just that.

    That being said, pretty good for 1st submission.

    Well whoever he or she or it is they have zero sense of humor and enjoy punitive action.

    well calling racist to a WoW character aint much humour skill i would say. seems like a title to capture attention more than anything

    Honestly, it was just snarky humor. Certainly not racist in of itself and acceptable as being hyperbolic. I believe most people wouldn't consider the title, "Nozdormu is racist against mobile players" banworthy. Or maybe Ive just watched too much adult swim idk

    Hi, Live4vrRdieTryn, welcome to our neck of the woods :) I hope you will have a pleasant experience here, and so will we :)

    To the topic: you can be snarky, but you shouldnt be in poor taste, and using words like "racist" or especially my favorite "retarded" as adjective in regular conversation as a "lighthearted fun", or as an actual insult etc. That is not something one should do. Ever. Let alone on a public forum. I can understand using that kind of sense of "humor" among friends who know each other, but not online.

    While i dont think that what you did was a bannable offense, it did deserve a response. And as few ppl said already, it is always a good time to take a step back and think about your (posting) behavior, if you get called on it. They might be wrong about calling you out sometimes, they might be right tho. All im saying is, one should be more mindful of the stuff that one lets out in the open, is all ;-)

    Hope i didnt scare you off :)

    It should, unless they changed something alongside the new no duplicate rule. If you do decide to get it, report back, so we know! :)

    @linky:

    • Counter Strike - i suppose an ok card, but could be super annoying, especially in combination with other secrets, getting a divine shield as well could be pretty nasty. You can shorten the wording "... give it +5 Attack."
    • Smokescreen - do you want to die faster ?:D any token can negate your taunt :)
    • Feedback Blast - i think its on the weaker side, but it could be ok, not like you can do much to change literally anything about this card lol :)

    Counter Strike will probably be the best out of the 3.

    Quote From Pezman

    Here's what happened. I'm playing Tempo Demon Hunter (yes, yes, I'm a real bastard, I know, just wanted to grab up some easy ranks before the second nerfs hit). Drop my Imprisoned Antaen on curve (cuz I like winning). He wakes up and sprays his 10 damage all over the place, then my opponent plays Maiev Shadowsong and puts him back to sleep. Two turns later, he wakes back up and guess what? Ten more damage to my enemy's board and face.

    Just wanted to put this out there for anyone who hasn't seen this interaction.

    On a related note, I've also seen buffed minions put to sleep by Maiev, and wake up with their buffs intact. Also good to know.

    To be fair, this interaction was entirely expected. The new dormant minions have a two part ability. One puts them to sleep, one awakens them. If you can put the minion back to a dormant state, the minion text clearly say what will happen when it is awaken again.

    But thanks for the heads up anyway, its always nice to have confirmation ;-)
