Submitted my card, hopefully can make it to finals this time. :)
Pro tip, ask for feedback in the discussion thread first. We get a couple of days to perfect our card before submitting, take advantage of that time
I tried doing that and people gave feedbacks and I changed my card according to the feedbacks (Remember the legendard Druid card you recommended me to change the wording?) and it still failed to qualify for the finals. So I don't know :(
I guess it's about the sentiment that Arthas looked like the winner of the last competition right from the start, which became a thing because it was your theme. If I remember correctly someone said something along the lines of Arthas not being made for the competition, but the competition themed to fit Arthas, which came up again when you indeed won in the end.
While I understand those feelings and have to admit the same thought crossed my mind, it clearly is absolutely legitimate to do so. Everybody who wins a competition at least benefits from knowing about the theme earlier than the rest of us (this argument being somewhat softened if they suggest multiple themes) and might actually build their suggestion around a cool card they created beforehand. But to be fair, everyone of us has a chance to reap these benefits, we just have to win a competition. The only alternative I can think of would be to ban the one who suggests the theme of the week from the respective competition, and that would be a poor reward for winning indeed. So we'll just have to live with the fact that the winners get a little headstart when their theme is due and compensate with a burst of creativity and brain power. It's also worth noting that there's a week's break between the win and the winner's themed competition, so there's no way to influence every week for any one competitor. And after all, you can't predict other people's creativity, I don't expect a lot of cases of people winning their own themes.
tl;dr: imho, there's a grain of truth in that criticism but it can't be helped. You didn't do anything wrong or unfair and shouldn't feel bad. Those wins were well deserved.
To be honest it does sound kind of unfair to other competitors if the theme creator; not only had more time do design his card, But also had no card design restrictions. I’m a stranger to this debate but if what you said is true then maybe the previous week winners should not be allowed to participate in following week’s competition.
But of course I’m not blaming the person at all since this was never a rule. Did nothing against the rules
FYI, if you go with the equal stat route for Lilliandra, anchorm4n made a card in this thread the falls into the same lines.
I like Lady Anacondra's effect and I think is very unique, but it reminds of a Kun the Forgotten King that's much harder to set up for slightly better stats.
Thanks for the feedback, I tried to compare the card to Kun the Forgotten King carefully to make it as balanced as possible, though I think I underestimated the difficulty of gaining 10 mana from the battlecry. I might end up giving Lady Anacondra a bit further stat boost to make up for it.
To do friendly challanges with for the extra XP.
Feel free to add :)

Nope. The big late game is neutralized by terrible early game which is exactly why you will almost never see big streamers commit to a Murloc build
I like the Paladin one a bit better, but both looks good.
Maybe Light Burst could be 1 mana higher? Right now it seems like a more flexible Flamestrike.

I wasn't expecting Heimer to be tier 1 either, but seems like it is. Sejuani and deep are no surprise.
Its the textbook definition of a card thats very strong but the class is not suited for it. Paladin needs fixing, this card itself is very good
Imagine this card in any class except Druid and Paladin
Nice theme, Feeling a bit discouraged after 7 consecutive non-finalist but I'll try to come up with something tomorrow.
I saw that expansion name on the web before
Some really solid cards this round, GL to everyone! :)

So a random minion with stats equal to the unspent mana left? Or more like a token beast?
After further brain storm, decided to design an alternative legendary to my initial Lady Anacondra. Feedback much appreciated!
Thanks, I'll change it up tomorrow. :)
My first template. I would really appreciate any positive and negative feedback on this.
Edit: Found the answer thanks
Edit: Changed the wording a bit thanks to @Xarkkal 's recommendation.
Can we change the cards we already posted?
