Submitted my card, hopefully can make it to finals this time. :)
Pro tip, ask for feedback in the discussion thread first. We get a couple of days to perfect our card before submitting, take advantage of that time
I tried doing that and people gave feedbacks and I changed my card according to the feedbacks (Remember the legendard Druid card you recommended me to change the wording?) and it still failed to qualify for the finals. So I don't know :(
Can I get another clue because I made card flavor and text search for the words evil, fan, mean, fan favorite etc. and checked out every single card page.... nothing.
I guess it's about the sentiment that Arthas looked like the winner of the last competition right from the start, which became a thing because it was your theme. If I remember correctly someone said something along the lines of Arthas not being made for the competition, but the competition themed to fit Arthas, which came up again when you indeed won in the end.
While I understand those feelings and have to admit the same thought crossed my mind, it clearly is absolutely legitimate to do so. Everybody who wins a competition at least benefits from knowing about the theme earlier than the rest of us (this argument being somewhat softened if they suggest multiple themes) and might actually build their suggestion around a cool card they created beforehand. But to be fair, everyone of us has a chance to reap these benefits, we just have to win a competition. The only alternative I can think of would be to ban the one who suggests the theme of the week from the respective competition, and that would be a poor reward for winning indeed. So we'll just have to live with the fact that the winners get a little headstart when their theme is due and compensate with a burst of creativity and brain power. It's also worth noting that there's a week's break between the win and the winner's themed competition, so there's no way to influence every week for any one competitor. And after all, you can't predict other people's creativity, I don't expect a lot of cases of people winning their own themes.
tl;dr: imho, there's a grain of truth in that criticism but it can't be helped. You didn't do anything wrong or unfair and shouldn't feel bad. Those wins were well deserved.
To be honest it does sound kind of unfair to other competitors if the theme creator; not only had more time do design his card, But also had no card design restrictions. I’m a stranger to this debate but if what you said is true then maybe the previous week winners should not be allowed to participate in following week’s competition.
But of course I’m not blaming the person at all since this was never a rule. Did nothing against the rules
I like the Paladin one a bit better, but both looks good.
Maybe Light Burst could be 1 mana higher? Right now it seems like a more flexible Flamestrike.

Finally got it, thanks guys! Although I still believe the clue (provided by OoC) is way too vague
After 10 hours still stuck on #14... :(
Can I get another clue because I made card flavor and text search for the words evil, fan, mean, fan favorite etc. and checked out every single card page.... nothing.
Nope, checked out every page under Fan Creations tab, including every single article. Nothing yet
13 is a tough one, hard to give a clue without making it too obvious
12 and 14 to go.
About #5, look for the images not just the card names
I just found the card but still don't understand how the same card can be played again for free.. Unless there is a duplicate of course
#15 is not Battlegrounds or the Tombs of Terror run? Oh come on. :(
I wasn't expecting Heimer to be tier 1 either, but seems like it is. Sejuani and deep are no surprise.
Its the textbook definition of a card thats very strong but the class is not suited for it. Paladin needs fixing, this card itself is very good
Imagine this card in any class except Druid and Paladin
Nice theme, Feeling a bit discouraged after 7 consecutive non-finalist but I'll try to come up with something tomorrow.
I saw that expansion name on the web before
Hey, thanks!
Some really solid cards this round, GL to everyone! :)
