    Competition Theme: Bottoms Up

    We're back! Season 5 kicks off with a classic 'latest expansion mechanic' competition - get your trawlers ready!

    • You must create a card which uses the Dredge keyword
      • Your card doesn't necessarily have to Dredge itself, but synergies should make explicit reference to it - we might do another competition for cards like Ambassador Faelin in the future, but for now they won't count

    This starting theme comes straight from me! It's been a while since the last competition, so Dredge up those creative ideas.

    As always, I can be reached through Discord or here on the site via PM if you have any issues to report.

    Competition Theme: The Perfect Match

    Some Hearthstone cards really only start to shine when they receive a little help - so let's start pairing them up!

    • You must create a card which has a strong synergy with an existing, unplayed Standard card
      • "Unplayed" is a bit vague, but use your best judgement about what cards are seeing play at the moment
    • You must include the existing card in your submission
      • We need to know who we're matching up! Just submit it as you would a second custom card.

    Kommutator has asked us to lift up some underused cards this week, so find them their perfect partner!

    Competition Theme: Make Your Own Luck

    Sometimes Hearthstone can be a tad random, so it's time to try and influence your luck!

    • You must create a card where all the digits on it add up to 7 in total
      • That's the digits in their Cost, Attack, Health/Durability and Card Text - names don't count!
      • Numbers written in full text (where correct) don't count - "Summon seven 1/1 Imps" would only add 2 to your total, for example.

    This week it was my turn to come up with the theme, and I've decided that it's time we all had a bit of good fortune!

    Competition Theme: Goons Of Galakrond

    It's time to prove once and for all which class is most devoted in their service to Galakrond!

    • You must create a Galakrond support card - using the Invoke mechanic - for one of the five Galakrond classes
      • That's one of either Rogue, Shaman, Warrior, Priest or Warlock

    We're worshipping Dragons this week as Wailor and linkblade91 take us back to the good old days of Galakrond!

    Competition Theme: One Card To Rule The Brawl

    You've only got one card to win this Tavern Brawl, so you'd better make sure it counts!

    • You must create a card that could be used in a "All 30 cards in your deck are this card" Tavern Brawl

    Sometimes keeping it simple is better - and Jhamel wants you to keep the deck as simple as possible this week!

    I don't think we can rule it out just yet - the asker was specifically talking about Lightforged Crusader, a card that is both already Wild only and has never been nerfed.

    Saying they won't buff cards to make them competitive in Wild is not the same as saying they won't revert nerfs, imo.

    Competition Theme: Legendary Loot

    Man, the loot tables for these encounters are crazy, I can't keep up. Could you guys help me out and show me the Legendary drops?


    BasilAnguis has been dungeon crawling this week, and wants us all to see the loot they got. Why don't you share your loot too?

    Competition Theme: Keep On Ticking

    It's time for a different kind of counting this week, but don't worry - your cards will be keeping track for you this time!

    • You must create a card which uses a counter similar to those of the Objective spells or the Sigils
      • That's the little marker above your hero that counts down how long an Objective lasts for, or how long until a Sigil activates. So long as your card is counting something, you're good to go!

    AeroJulwin is counting on us to do some counting this week - so make sure your cards are keeping track of it!

    Competition Theme: Counting On You

    Get your calculators out, because we're asking you to do some really intensive counting this week!

    • You must create a card which cares about the number of minions on the board
      • Whether an effect that scales based on the number of minions, or a threshold that needs to be hit, your card needs to be counting those minions!

    It's time for BloodMefist's competition, and this one is all about keeping track of the board. Make sure you count carefully!

    Competition Theme: Nightmare On Emerald Street

    It's time to turn our dreams into reality! But our sleep has been far too restless lately... oh dear...

    • You must create a Druid card themed around the Emerald Nightmare
      • It's not been touched upon too much in Hearthstone, so there's lots of free space to work with!

    Our very own linkblade91 is looking for a different kind of Druid this week. Dream up some nightmarish cards for him!

    Competition Theme: Frozen Festivities

    As is tradition for our holiday competitions, you have three prompts to choose from - your card just needs to meet one to qualify!

    • Stay Frosty
      • Create a card that interacts with Frost spells. Simply being a Frost spell doesn't count.
        • We're looking for cards that'll be happy to see a little snow this Winter Veil!
    • Deck the Halls
      • Create a card that interacts with your deck.
        • Start putting up those deckorations!
    • Check It Twice
      • Create a card with "double" or "twice" in its textbox.
        • You've got to be really thorough to make sure you're getting it write!

    Of course, you can always take on the challenge of making a card that meets all the requirements if you're feeling daring!


    It's that festive time of year again, and another Winter Veil competition is upon us! Rejoice, be merry and have a happy end to the year!

    Competition Theme: Combo Harvester

    It's time to start bringing those Mercenary innovations over into the main game - starting with those fancy Combos!

    • You must create a regular Hearthstone card which uses the Spell School Combo mechanic from Mercenaries
      • For those unfamiliar, some abilities in Mercenaries have additional effects if an ability of a specific Spell School was used previously that turn - Nature Combo, Fire Combo etc. - and we're looking to see this mechanic translated into regular Hearthstone.
      • For example, a card would have its Fel Combo ability activate if you played a Fel spell earlier that turn.

    BloodMefist and anchorm4n have joined forces for this prompt - a particularly potent Combo, I think you'll agree!

    Competition Theme: Worth Every Penny

    It's an expensive world we live in, and the cards you're making this week just keep asking for more mana!

    • You must create a card which increases the cost of a friendly card or Hero Power
      • Just one card or all of them at once - you could even have it increase its own cost!

    DestroyerR has asked us for cards that just keep making you pay for them - so make sure you've got spare mana to hand!

    Great card for specific decks, obviously. Doesn't feel too broken either from what we've seen so far, but maybe the new expansion brings enough power cards for it to worry.

    Does Hunter want to be trading with the face to slowly buff up a weapon? It only takes a couple of missed swings to break it, so I'm not sure this is worth it over other options.

    I love the weapon. It's such a fun and unique card text to see, which is one of my favourite parts of Hearthstone.

    That's another card we've seen return - Vanish was rightfully removed from Rogue's core suite of cards, but I guess only being able to run one copy of this is enough of a safety valve (as well as being an expansion card).

    Huge Health on that minion - feels pretty safe to just drop it and know it'll survive a turn, then buff it up with Rush minions dying.

    Great card to stall with and a lovely target to bring back. Feels a bit weird that it probably doesn't work with the Hero, since there's no minion to base the Attack off. Would be cool if it used your Hero's Attack stat for that instead.

    I love the uniqueness of the Hero Power, showing the duality of the class. The Battlecry is also insane, of course, but I think that's pretty self-evident.
