I like that you can get a super early Ragnaros, but it's way too similar to Blood of The Ancient One to catch my eye. But who knows, maybe people doesn't care about that.

I think I prefer DH Tony, but since you usually can only attack once per turn, I wouldn't make it a legendary.
If you still decide to make him a legend, you could use Varedis, who is one of the first five Blood Elves who became a DH.
@grayghost39

I think the card doesn't break the rules, but it seems a bit dull, IMO. Dunno, the fact that Gift of the Wild is basically a mass Mark of the Wild makes the flavor a little bit better, but I'm still not fully convinced.
@CovenantKevlar
Show Spoiler
Kinda funny. Now you can make a cheese omelette in an Egg Deck :)
It's a simple card, but the flavor is good and people might like it.
@Cg8889
Show Spoiler
I don't like that the card is worded in an unsual way so that it can work with the generated card. I mean, the interaction itself is fine, but the wording is a bit unintuitive.
How about making the card a minion with the following text: "Whenever a friendly minion dies, give your hero +1 Attack. Outcast: Add 'Command the Illidari' to your hand. Of course, the minion would need to be understated. If you make this change, the generated card could be Coordinated Strike instead.
@MrRhapsody

All your cards have superb flavor, really. I think I'd go with Surprise Element because its flavor is so funny I actually laughed IRL, even if the effect isn't the most interesting thing in the world. Weather Forecast is also cool, but its high RNG factor might be off-putting for some people.
I'd say Volcanic Elemental is the best of the bunch. I also like Primal Fury.
@Demonx95
Show Spoiler
Cool card, feels very Rogueish. I'd change the artwork, though.
@KANSAS
Show Spoiler
I don't like that your card uses Counterfeit Coin instead of The Coin just to fit the competition criteria. Even if the concept itself is good, I'd go with a different idea.
@BloodMeFirst
Show Spoiler
All of those are excellent, probably my favorites so far. I'd say Set the Table! is the best one, since it combines flavor and an interesting effect.
That said, an Epic Class card for an expansion that had none might be a bit off-putting for some people, so I'd make it a Rare just in case.
@Xarkkal
Show Spoiler
I think you're right about the balance. I'd say I prefer a 4 mana version with Rush.
@Pokeniner
Show Spoiler
I like your card, but I think you should make Nezzie herself a Mech.
Sure, you'd have to drop this cool artwork, but I think the card overall would benefit, since you wouldn't need to modify the token.
Yeah, White and Black shouldn't really be MtG colors IMO. I know it's probably too late, but Yellow and Purple could be good reps of Light and Darkness (like in Hearthstone) without any accidental racial implication. I'm pretty sure Cleanse and Crusade did not intend to be racist (unlike most of the cards in the ban list), but it is what it is.
Regarding the bans in general, I don't get the racist implications of all of them, but good riddance in any case.
Next: I've been playing quite a bit of Minecraft during the pandemic, so I want you to make a card based on the Creeper.
My only requirement is: don't name it just "Creeper", since we already have cards like Haunted Creeper or Corridor Creeper. Something like "Unstable Creeper" or "Explosive Creeper" would be fine.
My favorite of the bunch is Meteor Fall, but it's also the least space-y of them :(
About The Vindicaar, I prefer the 8 Mana version, even if it's a bit reminiscent of The Boomship. If you decide to go with this card, I'd change the artwork, since the current one seems to be a screenshot from WoW.
@Demonxz95
Show Spoiler
I prefer Starace, Solar Entity. It's very interesting, gameplay-wise.
@Xarkkal
Show Spoiler
Not a fan, honestly. It looks too similar to Juicy Psychmelon and has potential to be very broken.
@KANSAS
Show Spoiler
I like the space-time duality of your card, but the effect of the cards don't seem very tied to their flavor.
@BasilAngus
Show Spoiler
Don't worry, I also unintentionally plagiarized your Gravity Well, so quid pro quo I guess :P
About your cards… I'd say Gravity Well is precisely my favorite.
@MenacingBagel

I'm not a fan of cards that generate spells with a certain label (Shadow Words, Blessings, etc.)
Dunno, maybe I'm the only one like that xD
@BloodMefirst

Event Horizon is my favorite, but Color From Space is also good. Algalon is way too wordy.
@shaveyou
Show Spoiler
Hunter's Moon could be interesting gameplay-wise, but it doesn't click for me, dunno why.
Homemade Shuttle is a bit bland. Plus, it should really be a 3/4, since its effect isn't really negative.
@Pokeniner
Show Spoiler
Kirin Tor Astrologist seems very simple and elegant, I like it!
Nether-terrestrial could is also cool.
@Beatdoof
Show Spoiler
I like Touch the Stars and its obvious synergy with Stargazer Luna.
That said, you should really find a different art that features stars in some way.
Finally, the Mana Cost. I think 4 should be a good middle ground, since 3 seems way too dangerous because of the aftermentioned Stargazer Luna.
@anchorm4n
Show Spoiler
Ebb And Flow is pretty cool, but I'm not sure of what it's supposed to represent. The influence of the Moon over the tides? The lunar phases?
Unless I'm missing some reference, I think you should change its name so that its flavor is more clear.
@Inconspicousaurus or whatever your name is written
Show Spoiler
I like the flavor of your card. I disagree with linkblade91 about the balance, though, since two 4/4 for 6 mana is already on par with stuff like [Hearthstone Card (Power of Nature) Not Found].
@CursedParrot
Show Spoiler
Your card is interesting, but I think you should get rid of the minion and just make it a Legendary weapon.
I like the Legendary version of Reveler Reno. Firework Fanatic's effect is too similar to Bombs, so it doesn't seem all that interesting.
@linkblade91
Show Spoiler
Not sure if 4 mana is the right call. Compared to Time Out!, it also destroys your Armor and it's vunerable to Platebreaker.
@KANSAS
Show Spoiler
The last version of Trick Gift is your best card. Feasting Troll could improve in the flavor department. Plus, the artwork isn't a troll, but a goblin or something like that.
@Alfi
Show Spoiler
I haven't played Diablo, so maybe I'm not the "target" of this card, but it seems a bit bland.
@anchorm4n
Show Spoiler
I like the flavor, but it's a bit too wordy.
I also think the framing of the artwork could be better. I think the Goblin should be the main focus of the card itself and the Piñata should be the focus of the token (which you should totally make)
@Dermostatic
Show Spoiler
This is a very hit-or-miss card. In my case it's a miss, but I don't know about other people.
@MrRhapsody
Show Spoiler
I really love your Wine And Cork Shot, but I don't think the flavor fits the Basic set.
@Demonxz95
Show Spoiler
Explosive Piñata for sure. I wouldn't show the Goblin in the artwork, however.
Since most people seemed to prefer Julianne, I guess I'll go with her. I'm not sure about the statline nor wording, though:
Now, some feedback:
@linkblade91
Show Spoiler
I think Sapphiron is the best one. Nefarian is too similar to his actual incarnation (even if that's the point) and Sirinell looks too dangerous in the version outside the spoiler or too complex in the version inside it.
@KANSAS
Show Spoiler
Overall, I'd say Grimstone your best card. He's quite simple, but he really feels like one of those old Adventure legendaries. I'd make him cost 4, though.
Magic Mirror has a novel effect and is flavourful, but in my eyes, the star voting system tends to favour conservative designs.
Tad, the Fisher is quite cool, but you should give it at least 1 Attack. A Battlecry minion with no Attack is just a spell xD
@anchorm4n
Show Spoiler
Dr. Boom has been done too many times, so people may be a bit sick of him. Plus, the fact his statline isn't 7/7 is kind of a sacrilege xD
Terestian is really solid, on the other hand. I dunno, cards that use Lifesteal in a creative way are always cool in my eyes.
@Demonxz95
Show Spoiler
Overall, I prefer Xatma. His effect seems quite novel and interesting.
Frostfur is also cool (pun intended), but I've seen that same effect many times in competitions.
@TheHoax91
Show Spoiler
Both Heigan and The Black King have clever effects, but they seem a bit too complex.
Thaddock the Thief is fine, but her effect doesn't seem unique enough to justify her Legendary rarity. Maybe if you add something like choosing the actual "Identified" card? Not sure how to word it, though.
@shaveyou
Show Spoiler
Both Applebough's options seem Priest, not Druid. I get, it has Choose One, but still, kinda breaks class identity.
Vitus, the Exiled is okay, but doesn't blow my mind.
@MenacingBagel
Show Spoiler
You've posted a lot of cards, but I think your most solid one is Icarax.
@Xarkkal
Show Spoiler
Both are fine but not outstanding. Out of the two, I think I prefer Ranger Ar'ha.
@Pokeniner
Show Spoiler
I don't think Harth Stonebrew counts :( In any case, he seems too weak (which can easily be fixed) and also too similar to [Hearthstone Card (Prince Mal'chezaar) Not Found].
@grumpymonk

Solid cards. Illidara is my favorite, even if she could use a slight buff.
@Beatdoof
Show Spoiler
Magistrix Norroa for sure. Toggwaggle a bit too complex and already has two incarnations.
@BasilAngus
Show Spoiler
The problem with Seriona is that she has a lot of burst damage depending on your opponent's deck. She would be fine if she was a bit more expensive, I think (you should also rise the stats in this case)
@DestroyerR
Show Spoiler
I think my favorite is Queen Wagtoggle. Her flavor and her potential for both Combo and Mill makes my like her a lot.
I also like Rasil for his innovative effect.
@NiRast
Show Spoiler
I prefer Marrogwar, since the keyword Immune is always a bit scary. He's missing the rarity gem, though.
@bigcums

Both The Magic Mirror and Seriona are very original, while at the same time not being too far-fetched. I'd say The Magic Mirror is slightly better.
@MrRhapsody

I really love both The Trap Room and Jythiros.
Kizi Copperflip and Infinite Toki are also very solid (yes, even Toki)
@Shivershine

I think Adventure Treasures belong in Adventures. Many of them will be too OP for constructed and others will useless.
@Neoguli
Show Spoiler
Sazin is way too OP. Unless your opponent has Silence, you'll always have something on the board once you play it.
Glack seems too specific, honestly.
That leaves us with Zaraam, which is quite interesting. I'd give him a 2/5 or 2/6 statline, though, since his effect has no drawback or requirements.
More feedback.

I'd say it's a Beast. Could be a hyper-realistic Mech, though.
But many of them are pronounced the same, right? I mean, there's no phonetic difference between 'color' and 'colour', if I'm not mistaken.
For me, it's kinda wild that English doesn't have an official academy regulating this kinds of things.
My point still stands.
Can't we have a tie 😭

His effect is supposed to be a reference to Reincarnate, the ability the Tauren Chieftain had in Warcraft 3.
Next: Let's keep it up with artwork from other games.
Congratulations!
Really cool post!
Fun fact: in the Spanish translations, all these references to funnel cakes are replaced by churros.
I was so sure I'd make it in both comps and I didn't in neither of them 🤡
I guess I should put less expectations in these things lol
