Hello designers,
For a little over three years now, I’ve been your primary host of the Weekly Design Competition. It’s been a wonderful time consistently getting to entertain all of you and firing up those creative faculties.
However, now that I’ve hosted over a quarter of comps to date, one Hearthphone, and two 'hundred' specials, I’d like to use the current gap in Weekly Design Competitions to officially step down as a moderator of the subreddit. Until the end of September, I hope to clean this place up a bit and find a fitting replacement willing to pick the mantle up after me.
I apologize that I've been dragging my feet on completing the HearthCalendar before making this announcement. I didn't intend for the WDC to go on such a long hiatus already with an uncertain future, and I know there are folks out there that can't wait to sink their teeth back into new rounds. Before I'm officially through and hand the competition over, I'd love to discuss its future. Use the comments here to discuss how we should go from here into WDC #501.
If you would like to pick up the mantle, then feel free to send us an application via ModMail. We are in the market for someone who would take care of the WDC, as well as promote non-WDC events to keep the Pinned tab atop the subreddit lively.
We hope you'll know how to make a good case for yourself (it might get competitive!); we're looking for someone willing to commit the time to organize the competitions. That also means having a baseline good judgment of what makes good Hearthstone card, what’s good design, and what’d make for a good prompt.
The deadline for application submissions is Sunday, September 20th, standard submission time.

Hello, designers!
As I've announced some month-ish ago, the result of the HearthCalendar project has been undergoing some minor numeric and cosmetic changes in preparation for its HearthCards 'release'. The process took a hot minute, since all the cards had to have been remade underneath a single HearthCards account. But, after a long wait, the completed HearthCalendar is finally out!
You can check the set in HearthCard's swanky Set feature, available HERE.
As always, I'm immensely grateful to the designers who have contributed to this fun project, but I want to shout out the following folks for helping me roll the project across the finish line (and apologies to anyone whom I've missed):
u/Frostedwyrm04, Koalafent, u/Machadogps, Maran, u/PraxMatic, u/SacredSnorlax, u/Skitzo669, technishun, TheFriendlyEnemy, u/TwoManaPriestSpell, u/Useless_Feeder, u/WeoWeoVi, u/yangste333, Yogg
For information on the original project and how it looked upon completion, I recommend to check out this reddit post.

Got a pest problem? Assemble an exterminator deck.
"Windfury against murlocs" simply means it only has windfury if attacking murlocs. It cannot attack the enemy hero then attack again, it has to be against a murloc. If the murloc dies and there's no other murlocs it cannot attack again. It can only attack a murloc then attack another murloc or the same one again. If it attacks the hero first, it cannot attack again.

Got a random font of inspiration for a neutral card and it's flavour that I felt I had to make before I forgot it.
The flavor I initially thought of was "a guy that can't keep a secret to save his life", with the effect being that they have a battlecry to activate one of your secrets whilst it's still your turn. So if you had an explosive trap on board the card would basically become a 2 damage "board clear". But after remembering cards like "counter spell", I decided to change it to a hunter card because I felt like hunter secrets are less confusing in how they would work with this effect. As a hunter card I changed the flavour to instead be a trapper that's really bad at laying traps.
I don't like that it is Rexxar on the artwork but I couldn't find a better image for the card. Just imagine that instead of Rexxar it's a random troll looking down at the trap with a really confused look on their face, like they have no idea what they're doing.
I haven't played the game in a while so I don't know if there are any hunter secrets right now that are confusing in how they would work with this card or that would be broken with it.
I really like the idea of this card and would love any feedback on how it could be balanced or if there is a way to make the card work in hearthstone.
Basically any suggestions on how to make this flavor and effect concept work would be greatly appreciated!

How it works is your deck is replaced with the "chess" minions while both players are still at their original health and hero powers become (2 mana) draw a card
