Reddit Design Comps - Feedback Thread

I've been missing the weekly card design competition we used to have in this site since they ended. So, some time afterwards, I started to participate in the comps they have at the r/customhearthstone subreddit.

However, these comps lack the part I enjoyed the most: giving and receiving feedback. To fulfill this, I decided to make this thread, so that we can some of that fun without overloading linkblade and Demon with work.

This week's comp is Bloodrock is hiring, in which you'll have to create an Azerite reward or an Excavate card for classes that didn't receive them. There's also a secondary reward for the card with the best artwork.

  • I'm torn between two Azerite beasts for this week:

    The Boar has a more flashy effect, but the Crab has better art (although it's one of the AI generated ones they have in Hearthcards) and is slightly more flavorful, as it can be seen as a slight reference to carcinization.

    Feel free to post your cards if you decide to participate in the comp!

    • Both are cool ideas but I'd definitely go with the Crab here for two reasons:

      • The Crab art fits the azerite theme way better (as you've mentioned yourself)
      • Boar = Hunter in Hearthstone, with very few exceptions like cage head. So if you want to go with the boar art, I'd suggest making it a Hunter card with another effect.

      Good luck with the competition! 

  • Crab is the definite better option. The boar is simply too overpowered, having all your minions take 4 damage whenever they attack the enemy hero feels way too oppressive. And it can stack too. If you look at the rewards the azerite legenderies are all rather mellow in effect. Snake was an outlier. The rest... summon two 8 drops, give you a titan, give you 4 random (often useless) spells, or rez a buffed minion. They're not weak don't get me wrong but it's nothing out of this world. Just board swings most of the time that die to boardclears. The crab fits most in line with the rest, creating a scary board that can be answered to.

  • Thanks for the feedback, guys. I'll go with the Crab like you both recommended. I also encourage you to participate :)

  • Hey mrwailor; I found your post here when reverse-searching the Azerite Crab art :^)

     

    Congratulations on the win! If this is the dedicated Weekly Comps thread: check the new round out HERE.

  • Congrats, Wailor!

    That new theme is very cool and there are already some awesome submissions :-)

  • Oh my god you've basically predicted the actual card!!

      Haha such a coincidence :D Although the real card is a bit more innovative.
