Season 3 Winners Gallery
Below you will find all the winners of the Season 3 card design competitions.
Colourful Casting
For the second Season in a row, we've got a scholastic theme to start us out. Time to school those spells!
- You must design a card which synergises with a Spell School
- Your card can't just be a spell that fits into one of the Schools - it needs to have an effect related to one of them to qualify!
This competition ran from March 15, 2021 until March 22, 2021.
Cross-Pollination
Time to see if you can nurture some nature!
- You must create a Class card that prominently features a plant or plant-like creature
- Plantlife should be the focus here - think cards like Festeroot Hulk or Bloodbloom
- Your card cannot be a Druid card
- We couldn't make it too easy, now could we?
This competition ran from March 22, 2021 until March 29, 2021.
Even More Top Secret
This information is too precious to fall into enemy hands - so keep it hidden!
- You must create a Legendary Secret
- That's it! No restrictions on these Secrets apart from only having one in your deck.
This competition ran from March 29, 2021 until April 5, 2021.
Watch Post And Learn
It's time to start building things up around here - stop fighting already!
- You must create a minion which can't attack
- We're specifically looking for the 'can't attack' text on the card, not just a 0-Attack minion or something like that
- Your minion must have a passive effect
- It can't just sit there and look pretty - like the new Far Watch Post and its ilk, it needs to do something worthwhile
This competition ran from April 5, 2021 until April 12, 2021.
Sharing Is Caring
You're only allowed to play together if you share, okay? Let's design some cards to make that easier!
- You must create a card with a symmetrical effect
- Think of cards like Mad Summoner, Coldlight Oracle or Jungle Moonkin - both players are affected by them equally
This competition ran from April 12, 2021 until April 19, 2021.
Legendaries Of Runeterra
Warcraft isn't the only game out there with interesting characters! Let's see if we can't champion another one this week, yeah?
- You must create a Legendary minion which depicts a Champion from Legends of Runeterra
- Don't play Runeterra? Not a problem - we've got all the Champions in our card database right here for you to brush up on them.
This competition ran from April 19, 2021 until April 26, 2021.
'Tis But A Scratch
It's time to weather the storm! Show us some cards that really know how to take a beating.
- You must create a card which uses the Frenzy keyword
- It doesn't have to have Frenzy itself, it just needs to feature the Keyword in its card text
This competition ran from April 26, 2021 until May 3, 2021.
Rune Scape
Demon Hunters are preparing their Sigils, but it's time for other classes to get in on the action!
- You must create a spell which does something only at the start of your next turn
- Just like the Sigils, your spell shouldn't have any other effect but one that happens at the start of your next turn
- Your spell cannot be a Demon Hunter card
- We've seen what Demon Hunters are doing with this effect - let's get creative!
- Your spell cannot be a Secret
- Cards like Competitive Spirit kind of work like this, but we want straight up spells for this competition
This competition ran from May 3, 2021 until May 10, 2021.
There Can Be Only One
This is a solo adventure - I don't want to see any doubling up!
- You must create a Highlander card for a class which does not already have one
- A Highlander card is one which has an effect when there are no duplicates in your deck, like Reno Jackson
- The classes which don't already have an effect like this are Demon Hunter, Rogue, Shaman and Warrior
This competition ran from May 10, 2021 until May 17, 2021.
Alternate Spelling
We're looking for the latest thing in spellcasting this week - don't stick to the old school!
- You must create a spell of a Spell School not normally associated with that class
- Obviously, your spell can't be neutral either - no sneaking around the restrictions!
- The Spell Schools not allowed for each class are listed in the spoiler below
-
Show SpoilerDemon Hunter: Fel, Shadow
Druid: Arcane, Nature
Hunter: Fire, Nature
Mage: Arcane, Fire, Frost
Paladin: Holy
Priest: Holy, Shadow
Rogue: Nature, Shadow
Shaman: Fire, Frost, Nature
Warlock: Fel, Fire, Shadow
Warrior: Fire, Nature

This competition ran from May 17, 2021 until May 24, 2021.
Two The Point
I'll keep things brief - so should you!
- You must create a card with two or less lines of card text
- Short and simple is the name of the game this week - but make sure we still understand what your card does!
This competition ran from May 24, 2021 until May 31, 2021.
Built To Scale
We're looking for cards that just keep on getting better the more you look at them this time!
- You must create a card with an effect that scales
- Think of cards like Overwhelm, Hagatha's Scheme or Lightspawn
This competition ran from May 31, 2021 until June 7, 2021.
The Price Of Progress
We saw some Classic Dragons get a new interpretation when the Core Set released - it's time for some other Legendaries to get in on the action. Progress comes at a price, however - or is that a Prince?
- You must create a Legendary minion which is a re-imagining of a Classic Legendary
- Look to Deathwing vs Deathwing the Destroyer, or Ysera vs Ysera the Dreamer - similar, but different!
- Your Legendary minion must have an effect which is active when you have no cards of the same cost in your deck
- Prince Keleseth, Prince Taldaram and Prince Valanar were our first introductions to this kind of effect
This competition ran from June 7, 2021 until June 14, 2021.
Focused Study
It's time to really narrow your area of expertise this week - make sure you School everyone at it!
- You must create a minion which has an effect when all spells in your deck are the same School
- We're looking for specific Schools here - "If all spells in your deck are Fire", for example
This competition ran from June 14, 2021 until June 21, 2021.
Lost In Battle
Mankrik isn't the only one capable of sending people on Quests - let's see what else we can do here!
- You must create a Quest or Sidequest for the Forged in the Barrens expansion
- That's the Quest mechanic - like The Last Kaleidosaur - but with an appropriately Barrens themed requirement and reward
This competition ran from June 21, 2021 until June 28, 2021.
Wake Me Up Before You Go
What card ideas lay dormant for this week's theme, just waiting to be uncovered?
- You must create a card which uses the Dormant mechanic
- We've seen a few different iterations of this mechanic now, from The Darkness to Lucentbark to Imprisoned Observer
This competition ran from June 28, 2021 until July 5, 2021.
Tools Of The Trade
We're looking for professional cards this week, so get smithing!
- You must create a 0-Attack weapon with a passive effect
- We're obviously inspired by the new expansion here, but Sphere of Sapience is an earlier example
- Your weapon should lose Durability in some way besides attacking with it
- We don't want your weapon sitting around all game - these tools aren't indestructible!
This competition ran from July 5, 2021 until July 12, 2021.
Ride And Die
It's time to saddle up your trusty steed and charge into battle with them!
- You must create a spell which buffs a minion and summons another minion when that minion dies
- Damn that's a mouthful - it's Mounts, guys, like Elekk Mount or Spikeridged Steed
This competition ran from July 12, 2021 until July 19, 2021.
Finfested Waters
We're diving into the mrrglly depths this week, so look out for anything fishy!
- You must create a Murloc minion
- It's that simple - no catches or tricks, just a good old fashioned Murloc
This competition ran from July 19, 2021 until July 26, 2021.
The Best Deals Anywhere
We're looking for some fantastic deals this week, so make sure your card has some resale value!
- You must create a card with Tradeable, or that synergises with the Tradeable mechanic
- We're looking for direct synergies like Auctioneer Jaxon, not something more tangential
This competition ran from July 26, 2021 until August 2, 2021.
