Huzzah! I've kept the dream alive and made a second article in as many weeks. That's 100% consistency, baby.
Today we've got copies upon copies upon copies and a trip to the Wild West(fall).
Spelling It Out
Congratulations to the winner of our second WCDC, Demonxz95 and their treasure for the Dalaran Heist, Mark of Dalaran!
We'll look forward to seeing what they come up with for week 1.04 - hopefully something a little less tricky this time!
Sweet Six Shooter
This week saw the return of our Fan Community Spotlight, this time going over clukurduk's "Gunslingers of Westfall".
This Wild West themed expansion features a full 135 cards, and really takes advantage of the theme in a way that still feels very true to Hearthstone.
I've included a few of my favourite cards below, but make sure to check out the Interview above, and the full thread to see all of the cards.
That cactus is giving me serious Final Fantasy flashbacks.

Our final note is that the next competition has begun! We're looking to start up a counterfeiting business this time - get copying by clicking the link below!

I think you guys should post a news article announcing the finalists and reminding people to vote on the finalists.
Just a thought. Might help boost the amount of votes during the finalist phase, and also good to show off all the finalists.
That's a good idea, please do that. Will there be a transparacy report every week? Couldn't find one this time.
Transparency Report is available every week on each individual competition's page.
We're definitely looking at ways of making the stages more obvious. I don't know if we'll end up doing an entire article, as I don't want to over-saturate with Fan Creations news - I learned early on that a lot of people just do not enjoy that - but its definitely an option to consider.
I think a notification going out to everyone who entered - or even just voted - to tell them of the finalist phase would be a cool idea. Maybe something you could subscribe to, so you always know when a new competition has gone up. So many feature ideas, so little time.
I think 2 news articles per card competition would be fine to not over-saturate the Fan Creations news.
1 - article announcing the winner of the previous competition, and announcing the new competition. (Overkill idea: do a Q&A interview with the winner about their card)
2 - article announcing the finalists to showcase some more cards, and to remind people to go vote. (Maybe add the "description" that each card creator put, since you can't see that on the finalist voting page)
Those two articles, plus any Fan Creations spotlights you do I feel would not create an over-saturation of Fan Creation articles. Especially right now while people are waiting for the New Year announcement.
Shadows gonna make me do work >=(
I like the blind voting system, I didn't even knew I voted for Demonxz95, and if I did, it may have biased my rating ^^
Congratulations, by the way!
