    Side note: On these discussion threads, can you put tokens of the cards on the thread? As it stands now, you have to go to the card page to view the Prime version instead of it being here in the post to discuss.

    Rogue has plenty of draw to be able to get the Prime out of the deck. Don't forget Galakrond still exists. Get ready to see this thrown down for 0-mana A LOT!

    Restoring 3 health and discovering a spell is worth a lot more than 1 mana. This is bonkers and will probably be in every Priest deck until it rotates.

    Great card for a Turn 1 play

    Terrible card for anything else

    Won't see play because 95% of the time, this will be a dead card that you will be angry you drew and will end up losing you the game.

    Velen's Chosen, but the Lifesteal actually fits the class identity unlike the +spell damage. Not sure this will make constructed lists, but no one will complain when this is randomly generated.

    If tempo Priest works, this card will be in it.

    Great breakdown of the new system! 

    I'm so excited for the new ladder and all the new rewards!

    Really not convinced this will see any play. But Priest is a whole new ballgame now, so I could be wrong.

    Has potential. Could really see this getting added into Raza Priest in Wild.

    It is a 1 mana 1/3 with Lifesteal. I'm still not fully convinced the "Primes" will work in classes without good card draw.

    Here's one of my ideas 

    Show Spoiler

    when I saw the artwork, I just felt like I had to push for Warrior demon type card. I'm not certain if this is the card I'm going to Submit just yet. I wanted to get peoples thoughts on it. I think the card feel a bit too strong right now but I'm not sure. I'm considering up-ing his Mana cost as well as his stats, but I wanted the card to be fitted for a more Aggressive warrior deck. quick note: I decided that putting this card in Whispers of the Old Gods because the whole "cost Health instead of Mana" mechanic was first introduced when Cho'gall/card] was added as the Warlock Legendary for the set. Again any types of comments (as long as the are constructive) are appreciated!

    thanks and good luck to the other Competitors.

    I like the flavor. Make sure you have it say "costs" instead of "cost".

    However I personally don't see this card being played. I get the goal is for tempo, but this is considerably worse than Lightforged Zealot. At 4 mana, you don't have many weapons to cheat out early. Most warrior weapons are 4 or less mana. I'm not sure how I feel about losing health to equip a weapon. Your health is already used as a resource when using a weapon to clear minions. Maybe try designing it at 2 mana so it's more of a tempo play for the 3 and 4 cost weapons, which might justify the health loss a bit? Make it more like Bloodbloom for weapons on a stick?

    Congrats MattU!!

    As soon as I saw your card, I thought to myself "Well, that's the winner" and gave it 5 stars.

    I agree that I could have played Rez priest and HP like crazy on purpose just to complete the quest, but shouldn't an easy quest get completed with minimal effort? 
    if you play as you normally would, an easy quest should be completed in 2-3 matches. 
    And fun fact, I played nothing but hunter all day, and even made sub-optimal plays just to get in extra HP uses!

    Here's my first thought:

    Ur'zul are formed from the bodies and souls of fallen members of the Army of the Light. 

    Feedback:

    Show Spoiler

    @linkblade91 - I kind of like the OTK potential, though in Paladin I don't think it would be as big of an issue, though if you have a good board, it basically turns into a Bloodlust. Can be risky. I like it either way. (I know, probably not the most helpful feedback you've ever received)

    As for your 2nd idea with Sha of Despair. I like it, however I personally would remove a couple of stars from the vote since Sha's aren't technically demons, they are Sha. Honestly I'm very much expecting a "Sha" Tribe when they finally make a Mists of Pandaria expansion. 

    @Demonxz95 - *Thumbs up emoji*

    @Hordaki - I like the Felwood Satyr more. But that just might be my anti-mage bias. 

    @hereharehere - I like the idea. Maybe "take damage equal to it's health" instead? Also not sure how I feel about it being "Neutral" minion specific. 

    @shaveyou - Xavathras is awesome. Impish Shade I feel would be better as an aura instead of a Battlecry. Maybe just "your stealth minions are immune"? Also, you forgot the Demon tag on that one. 

    @thepowrofcheese - I like the Warrior one the best. Fits Warrior flavor well. As for the Druid one, I don't know how I feel about poisonous being tied to a Demon. I think Beasts when I think of poisonous. The Priest card I like the idea, but the "deal 6 damage to a minion" doesn't feel very Priest-like to me.

    Are multi-tribe cards allowed, as long as it is a demon as well? Was thinking of making a Demon/Beast.

    My word isn't official, but I would assume the answer is no, since multi-tribe doesn't exist in Hearthstone except for the "All" tag for almagams.

    I got my first easy quest in a long time today, and re-rolled into another "easy" quest. Using my hero power 20 times for 50 gold. I have played about 10 matches today and still haven't completed this "easy" quest. 
    I could have completed any of the "play 3 games with X classes" quests 3 times before completing this one "easy" quest. 

    I don't care and am not bitching. I just fail to see the logic in how using your hero power 20 times is considered a 50 gold easy quest

    Vanilla minion with an upside will always see play. Look at Questing Explorer

    Will see play if the Libram package pans out.

    At least it helps with the tempo loss of having a dormant minion. But overall, meh.
