Ahem, I guess he'll talk, but it'll be weird. I hope they take the One Piece approach when adapting it, because I guess it could work for Zelda.
Regarding the story, I'm guessing they'll go with either Ocarina or BotW. Both are massively popular and have stories that can be extended into film plots.
I don't get why they nerfed Tony's Cost on top of its effect. Now he's basically Archbishop Benedictus, a card that was already bad when it came out six years ago...
Or in other words, it SHOULD only cost 1 less regardless of how many of those keywords the card has, but with how Hearthstone has some spaghetti coding at times, we may not know for sure at the moment.
Fitting, given this is a spaghetti western expansion 😜🤙
I wish they had made Radio Star a collectible card in the previous expansion instead of printing Fate Splitter now.
I mean, the optimal statline for both formats is different, but damn, I like the flavor of Radio Star so much I think it's a shame it doesn't get to be a collectible card.
Edit: the expansion looks cool, especially the Titan cards.
Very interesting insight, I like reading opinions from people outside the community.
I agree with the fact many fan creations don't feel like real cards, because they tend to have quirky mechanics or lean on flavor more than real cards usually do.
That said, I think class identity is usually respected. Which cards rubbed you the wrong way in this regard?
The number of votes is indeed pretty sad. I guess we can keep the Fan Creations subforum alive with something else aside from Comps, as we clearly don't have the numbers. Don't know what it could be, as games (like Here's an art, make a card) also need a higher count of people than we currently have in order to stay active and this sort of thing died a while ago anyways.
Feedback. This might be my last time doing this :C

Very cool and flavorful card, a solid candidate for the first place. I prefer the Hero Power version, as the other one is too complex.
Demonxz95
I really like the condition. Good call using the Rune mechanic, as it's perfect for this comp. The reward is also cool, especially for what you pointed out about it circumventing the Discover clause.

The effect is very solid, as combining Fel and Demons makes a lot of sense flavorwise. However, as cool as the art is, I'd advice changing it. It looks more suited for a spell, as it's hard to tell what's going on in a minion card.

I'm not a fan of Avalan, as getting cards from other classes is usually a Rogue effect. Plus, you'd mostly be discovering from DK (and a little bit from Shaman), so it's not as exciting either.
Cristoph is much better. I think Start of Game is balanced, considering it only affects generated spells.
Crusader2010
Very bold idea, I like it! I'd probably change the class to Death Knight, as it fits the theme better. If you go with this change, I'd recommend replacing Gorehowl with a different weapon.
Also, the wording is a bit iffy. I'd try something among this lines: "Battlecry: If your deck has 5 or more Legendaries when your hero dies this game, revive it with 1 Health, 40 Armor and Gorehowl equipped." The only bold words here should be "Battlecry" and "Legendaries".
I'm also a bit sad for the state of these comps and the fact this might be the very last one, it's a real shame honestly. I still had fun this comp regardless of this, but I understand how frustrating it must be as organizers.
To be honest, I think this isn't a Fan Creations issue, but an Out of Cards/Games issue in general, as the activity has been pretty low recently (I don't participate much, but I still noticed sometimes the last comment in the whole site was from 2 days ago). Which, yeah, makes the whole thing even worse, but im any case the organization isn't to blame, as you've done a very fine work.
Enough downer words, here are my two cards of the week:
Battlefield Teleporter attempts the bold archetype of spell-less Mage. The effect it gets is a mix of card draw and Unstable Portal, so that the card feels Mage despite its precondition. I'm not too sure about the numbers, so I'd like some feedback to tweak them.
High Priestess Ishanah implements passive healing, which is something I've always wanted to see. I'm wondering if turn 3 is too early for an infinite effect like this, though.
Unrepentant Myrmidon is a suprise kill that can be a bit unfun to go against, so I'm not too fond on it.
Although the same could be said about Seraphina, I find her much more interesting. Being a one-off, not depending on being on hand, needing spells to deal the final blow… All these things make the card work much better, IMO.

Hey, welcome to the design corner!
I like that you decided to showcase an important character for the WoW lore, but her effect doesn't feel appropriate for Warrior. I'd probably redesign the card as a Shaman legendary (she's a Shaman, after all) with the text "Your weapon has Windfury and Poisonous". Another option would be to make it a Rogue card (which fits the effect a bit better), but you'd probably need to change the character in that case.

Twilight Enchantress is my favorite of your cards, as her power level is more appropriate than Leech Glyph.
Ice Sculpting isn't bad, but it doesn't look like a Warrior card.
Demonxz95
Pretty solid card, but not overly exciting. Not much to add, as it seems quite balanced.
Cranky Hibernator would be the first card to use Freeze in Druid and is probably my favorite. It's a defensive card that can be used against both wide and tall boards, depending on the option you choose.
Frenzied Doomguard is a reimagination of the classic Doomguard, using Windfury in Warlock for the first time. He is better suited for removal, but can also be dropped on an empty board without discarding anything immediately, as he can rack a lot of damage if not removed.
Finally, Soulstealing Familiar has Rush, only used once in Priest. It's basically a Holy Water on a stick, but I think it works better than that card, which was pretty weak.
Well, excuuuuuuuuuuuse me princess.

Yeah, a sign that his nipples're so hard they could scratch glass.
I'm surprised by Smokestack's similarity to Mortal Coil, given powercreep over the years.
Is it that this new card is terrible by modern standards or that the old one still holds up this day?

Azerite Giant's art is very strange. It looks AI generated (hope it's not)
Fitting, given this is a spaghetti western expansion 😜🤙
...
I'll find my way out
Loved the theme, especially the whole heroes vs villains thing. Very creative expansion 😁
I did find a bit strange that Dr. Boom acted as a stand in for Lex Luthor instead of, you know, Dr. Doom haha
I'm not a fan of the concept of signature cards, but the artwork for these ones is amazing.
Baby, wake up! Spare Parts 2 just dropped!
Argus reminds me of a boomer joke from my country:
A drunk walks into a bar and says:
- Those at my left are shitheads and those at my right are motherfuckers.
+ Hey, I'm not a shithead!
- Then come to my right, motherfucker!
I have the feeling Sargeras will appear in the miniset, which will be centered around him.

To be fair, your killer season was the first one, which had way more participants. So, I'd say your wins count more xD
Lol half my wins are from this season
