Party Planning 101
Surprise! You didn't think we'd forgotten about Out of Cards' birthday, did you? Every birthday needs a party, but we're running low on ideas - help us decide how to celebrate!
- You must create a card which is themed around celebration!
- Think fireworks, cake, decorations, things like that. Fireworks Tech, Priest of the Feast and Weaponized Piñata are some good examples.
This competition ran from June 1, 2020 until June 8, 2020.
Written In The Cards
We've created a lot of cards - it's time to let the cards do the creating for once!
- You must create a card which generates a unique token
- Summoning, adding to hand, shuffling into your deck - these all count!
- The token cannot be one that already exists
- No Lackeys, no Dream Cards, no Golden Monkeys and certainly no collectible cards
- Some examples include Elise Starseeker, Deathstalker Rexxar and Deck of Wonders
This competition ran from June 22, 2020 until June 29, 2020.
Trick And Treat
For this competition, we've decided to give you a treat - you get to choose any of these three options for your card to qualify!
- Spooky Noises
- Design a card with the Echo keyword
- We will allow 'Repeatable this turn' as well, though Echo is far more flavourful
- Design a card with the Echo keyword
- Not As They Seem
- Design a card which transforms a minion in some way
- Minions which transform themselves (like Shifter Zerus or the worgen cards) also count for this prompt
- Design a card which transforms a minion in some way
- Rise Of The Dead
- Design a card which generates dead minions
- This could be through Resurrect effects, or cards like Raise Dead, or some other interpretation - as long as the minions died at some point, you're good
- Design a card which generates dead minions
Does anyone have what it takes to pull off the ultimate trick and meet all three prompts?
This competition ran from October 24, 2020 until October 31, 2020.
Secret Santa Snowdown
As we did for our spooky celebration, you've got three separate prompts for this competition - your card just has to meet one of them to qualify!
- The Gift of Giving
- Design a card which gives your opponent a card
- On their board, in their hand or in their deck; give your opponent something to smile about this holiday season!
- Design a card which gives your opponent a card
- A Blizzard Blizzard
- Design a card which uses the Freeze/Frozen keyword
- Whether chilling directly or benefiting from the cool, all types of Freeze cards are welcome here!
- Design a card which uses the Freeze/Frozen keyword
- Secret Santa
- Design a card which interacts with Secrets (but isn't a Secret itself)
- I'll let you in on a Secret - this one's may favourite!
- Design a card which interacts with Secrets (but isn't a Secret itself)
If you're really in the holiday spirit, why not try and design a card which meets all the requirements?
This competition ran from December 21, 2020 until December 28, 2020.
Spirits of Competition
We've got a special competition to celebrate Oozefest 2. You can choose any (or multiple) of these three prompts for your card to follow.
- Run Away!
- Design a card that returns a minion to its owner's hand or deck.
- Over My Dead Body
- Design a card that interacts with Deathrattles.
- While your card (if it's a minion or weapon) does not need to have a Deathrattle, just merely being a Deathrattle will not count. We want something more directly synergistic.
- Design a card that interacts with Deathrattles.
- Trick or Treat?
- Design a card that gives your opponent something harmful.
- For example, Curse of Rafaam or any of the "Bomb" cards.
- Design a card that gives your opponent something harmful.
Does anyone have what it takes to pull off the ultimate trick and meet all three prompts?
This competition ran from October 24, 2021 until October 31, 2021.
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!
- Create a card that interacts with Frost spells. Simply being a Frost spell doesn't count.
- Deck the Halls
- Create a card that interacts with your deck.
- Start putting up those deckorations!
- Create a card that interacts with your deck.
- 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!
- Create a card with "double" or "twice" in its textbox.
Of course, you can always take on the challenge of making a card that meets all the requirements if you're feeling daring!
This competition ran from December 20, 2021 until December 27, 2021.
The Dead of Knight
The Death Knights have arisen, and now we serve them... in our job to make them new cards. Your card must be a Death Knight card, but you've got up to three different routes to go for a valid entry!
- Rotten to the Corpse
- Design a card with Corpse synergy.
- The most straightforward way to do is to just make a card that spends Corpses, but there are a number of other ways you can go about this.
- Design a card with Corpse synergy.
- Triple Threat
- Create a triple-Rune card.
- Hint: Look at the existing triple-Rune cards that Death Knight has to get a better understand of what constitutes as a triple-Rune card.
- Create a triple-Rune card.
- House of the (Un)Dead
- Design a card with Undead synergy/interaction.
- Your card (if it's a minion) doesn't need to be an Undead, but merely just being an Undead will not count. Otherwise, you're free to go whatever route you want as long as it uses direct interaction with Undeads.
- Design a card with Undead synergy/interaction.
While you're more than welcome to try to make a card that fulfills all 3 prompts, this is fully optional and will likely prove to be a challenge.
This competition ran from January 2, 2023 until January 9, 2023.
Inconsistently Consistent
The wording is getting a little weird around here, and it's time to embrace that.
- You must make a card that is functional, but is not consistently worded with other similar cards or doesn't follow conventional wording rules.
This competition ran from March 31, 2023 until April 7, 2023.
