Is "toast cuz its classy" refers to SI:7 Agent (or to rogue class)? And other components also lead to other cards and you need to understand everything to find the answer?
"Cheese since it rare" - refers to its legendary card?
You got the idea, AND the card Toast is referring to (so yeah, Rogue). Since no one figured out what “Cheese” is, you wouldn’t be able to know its rarity (the class of the card is the same as “Toast”, the rarity of the card is the same as “Cheese” etc.)
I mean, technically there was no state in rules, nor it was confirmed by mods, that you cannot use characters which have a new version in standard already. However, there is a small note at the bottom of competition main page, which goes like this: "While they do have cards that are Wild exclusive, characters like Reno and the rest of the Explorers have had their moment in the sun recently - give some love to those not in Standard at all!", but I would argue that an extra note should be considered a rule if it's not even added to the disscusion thread anywhere. However, for my own safety I decided not to submit my new version of Finley, which would be a perfect card for this competition. I guess I'll have to save it for later.
Even if it technically won’t get you DQ’d, I still think it’s obviously against the logic of the theme. The comp refers to character, not individual cards, and it’s obvious that Sir Finley Mrrgglton and Sir Finley of the Sands refer to the same character, making Finley a character which still has a card in standard
Not it. The “sandwich” line does not refer to the minion being sandwiched between two minions, and I didn’t say what the rarity was, I just said @KANSAS correctly assumed it refers to the card’s rarity
a sandwich to stay healthy, "sandwich" because it is played between two minions, and it gains their health.
ice cream’s cheap so it’s there” It is 3 mana, so it's pretty cheap.
Void Terror also eats minions, so it explains why you are talking about food.
You got the idea of the first three lines and more or less about the fourth (it has to do with the card’s cost, not necessarily cheap). Major hint: each one of the breakfast components hints at another card. The answer does not have anything to do with food
WW — obviously not going to be rated by balance, but this card honestly has no point. You’d get the same effect doing eenie meenie miney mo with your deck slots. 1/5
Every time you do that though, you have to stop and play eenie meenie miney mo with yourself after each game.
With this new Whizbang, you can just start a new game immediately after the previous one ends and get a completely random deck. It's a more streamlined approach.
But the slightly more convenient random deck mode doesn’t justify designing an entire legendary around it. That issue should be solved by adding a “random” button, not a Legendary minion
CP — -1 star for idea (I think it’s just too bland), so 4/5

LtV — 5/5. Love the “character development” flavor, especially since she was supposed to be kind of an antagonist on K&C’s narrative

AFK — -2 stars for critical fail on idea (really don’t see how “dormant for 1 turn” is legendary worthy), so 3/5.
SCS — -1 star for idea (again, I could see this effect on a rare no problem), -1 star for aesthetics (Saraad isn’t really the character for this flavor), so 3/5
MtM — -1 star for balance (control deck survived your Murlocs? Well not anymore), so 4/5

KtJK — -2 stars for critical fail on idea (pretty sure that’s not that works. If you summoned them, they’ll have the buffs, no matter what your opponent did), -1 star for aesthetics (art looks very unhearthstoney), so 2/5
StD — -2 stars for critical fail on aesthetics (missing a " at the end of the title, gains*, Shudderwock really doesn’t have anything to do with Dragons), -2 stars for critical fail on balance (that’s broken af), so 1/5
Good luck to all the finalists! I really don’t get Everlast though, how is it any good balance-wise? You forfeit access to any other weapon for 1 Attack each turn, and your weapon buffs last only 1 attack unless they also buff Durability
Well, not exactly stylish, but you got it! Cheese refers to Zola the Gorgon ; )
Okay, let me try to clarify the idea of the riddle a bit.
The idea is that the answer shares an attribute with the card hinted at in each line.
”Toast cuz it’s classy” it shares a class with SI:7 Agent (known for his infamous line, “heh, this guy’s Toast”)
”Cheese since it’s rare” it shares a rarity with (?) (something to do with cheese)
”a Sandwich to stay healthy” it shares Health with (?) (something to do with sandwich)
”Ice Cream's cheap so it’s there” it shares a cost with (?) (something to do with Ice Cream)
Could be. It all depends on the Rarity of the “Cheese”

Nope
No. Again, the packing a breakfast theme doesn’t give any hints about the card itself

Fair warning, I am going to rate Kragg 1 star since it breaks the rules IMO
- no
- not really, just to explain why I’m suddenly talking about food
Wrong. The card itself doesn’t actually have to do with food
Nope
Here we go:

“Toast cuz its classy,
cheese since is rare,
a sandwich to stay healthy,
ice cream’s cheap so it’s there”

Oh, yeah.

Is this thread broken? It keeps showing up in “recently commented on” for me

Dragon's Hoard?
