I find this card amusing because if one of us Fan Creators came up with it, we'd probably be laughed out of the room. "Ten Attack, for 1-Mana?! GG, OP!" :D
Seems like they dismissed the more obvious first answer: shelve Udyr until the VGU was done, and release someone like Ornn or Volibear instead. I don't mind what we got; just seems weird to push onward when they could have waited. Keep the two games in sync, as it were.
Good changes: I got a Mage to surrender mid-combo on turn-2 with this setup :D I had four minions out on turn-1; was filling my hand and about to play Survival of the Fittest on them when she quit.
It will be interesting to see what form Udyr takes: I have to assume it will be the updated Udyr Riot is currently working on. They haven't finished with him, yet, which is why I wasn't expecting him to make an appearance.
Varden seems okay; would have to see them in action.
I like Rokara a lot.
Onyxia's Hero Power looks like garbage.
Finishers do not interest me much.
I would consider the Jade board: it is pleasant to look at, although doing battle there seems off. Too serene for such bloodshed heh. Really need a Ragnaros board to go with my bartender.
People purging their collection each time we rotate cards is so tragic. The return on investment is generally garbage, and they're constantly burning a bridge one can't easily fix. I get that some people only play Standard, but still.
@BloodMefist - Unfortunately, I just don't think Splintering Sword is a good card. You have to Honorably Kill something to get mediocre damage, and you only get two swings. It could be quite interesting with better numbers, but then it wouldn't work for the prompt... I'd save it for another one. The art and name are definitely worth hanging onto; they're pretty cool.
Surge of Light ain't bad. We have a good amount of 1-Mana "Heal 3 and do X" Priest cards, though; at least, it feels like we do.
I don't necessarily think it's a good card either: I just mean to say that supporting spell-only Mage has been problematic at times, and this is more of that. They're not course correcting, as it were.
Hopefully it won't be an issue for a while *shrugs* Nerfing Incanter's Flow twice should be the death-knell for anything too obnoxious.
Deep Breath concerns and bothers me, because it is a card that would best function in a spell-only Mage deck. Fine in theory, but we've seen the results of such a deck lately. I think most of us are ready for the Mage to go back to needing minions again.
Onyxian Drake, though...*chef's kiss* Shield Slam on a stick, with Taunt and a vanilla body? Crazy.
Scrapping the weapon idea; cool as it is, I can't make it as good as I want it to be. That being said, I am extremely happy with my new version:
It has everything this prompt wants to see: digits, negative digits, and a written number. It's flavorful to Taran Zhu and the Shado-Pan being all sneaky, and I feel it's a cool play on a Devolving Missiles-type effect :)
I'm gonna put out some feedback via editing this comment; just give me a minute. Typing one-handed is a pain. Easier when you put the keyboard on your lap, and ignore the doctor's orders vis-a-vie using your right hand anyway...
Show Spoiler
Swizard - I agree with Sinti: just make it say "Starts Dormant" instead of Stealth. Harder to remove, obviously, but makes more sense flavor-wise. I'm concerned with dropping it to only needing 3 Deathrattles, 'cause a cheap Leper Gnome + some bounce-effects could achieve that easily. You don't want Anub'arak dropping on turn-3.
Demonxz95 - Paraphrasing what I said on Discord, I don't like "effect soup" cards a la Ultimate Infestation. They feel forced, and this is heavy competition for Sword and Board's space in the game. I really like Dr. Smalls; just remove the Beast tag and you're honestly good to go.
SkeithDE - Crimson Inquisitor says "minionS", so I assume you could swipe the whole board if your opponent doesn't play around it. This is a cool card, given you can use Rocket Boots for Rush and some handbuffs for a neat board clear. Yeah Blademaster Samuro is easier, but he came out way later. Spellsmith is very boring by comparison.
AeroJulwin - I don't like it. As I said for Demon above, it's an obvious play on Ultimate Infestation and I don't feel that to be particularly creative.
Wailor - Nexus Collectionist is your better card, although it feels like a total slam on Wandmaker. Wandmaker is already a good card, and now you can Discover with Spell Damage +1. It's too good in my opinion, but I don't see how you'd fix it.
How's this? I honestly think it could be okay at 2-mana. Everything has to line up perfectly: Taran Zhu in hand, weapon in deck, appropriate timing of the "After your hero attacks" effect, etc.
Taran Zhu is Lord of the Shado-Pan, Pandaria's ninja protectors. He can quickly employ a powerful weapon, but you do so knowing that you'll only get one swing out of it; Deathrattles like Twig of the World Tree or a swing-weapon like Boggspine Knuckles would be best.
Probably too good, but the worst of it would be in Wild *shrugs*
My right arm is in a sling, so I can't do much card-creating at the moment. Kind of a pain to review cards with one hand typing :/ Gonna have to just submit Thunderfury and call it a day.
I'd love to do a prompt that requires you to make a Galakrond for a non-Galakrond class, but that would require every token slot:
Galakrond, Azeroth's End (the other steps can be assumed)
Hero Power
Invoke card
"If you've Invoked twice" card
Just not practical, unfortunately :( Anyway, I have two ideas for the Shaman:
Galakrond Shaman generally uses the little Rush Elementals to stall for a big swing, like the 8/8 Storms. Thunderfury can either be used to clear a path as well - the first iteration - or to seal the deal Bloodlust-style. I want the second card to cost 3-Mana so it can be comboed with the Galakrond, but I'm concerned that that is too good.

Less than 24 hours to go; good luck everyone :)

Best choices: Flamereaper, Rinling's Rifle, Aluneth (still), Silver Sword, Boggspine Knuckles, Ancharrr, Wrenchcalibur, Fool's Bane, Gorehowl (for face damage), Woecleaver.

Congrats to Kommutator!
I know it doesn't actually mean anything: I was just giving you a hard time for it. This is some great work :)
C'Thun's Worship is "Even cards", but he himself is Odd. Seems like a disconnect there :P
My right arm is in a sling, so I can't do much card-creating at the moment. Kind of a pain to review cards with one hand typing :/ Gonna have to just submit Thunderfury and call it a day.
Sorry I haven't been around.
All packs were the bare minimum, including the Golden one. And they weren't even fun Commons I could use in Gold; what a waste :(
Congratulations to our glorious leader, Shadows!
