Our card design contest that started in February is still alive and we would love you all to participate! You can win cool prizes sponsored by Blizzard and there's always the chance that they like your design so much it could end up in the game (no promises though)
To promote the contest and to give all of you a bit more time to think and tinker with your design we will delay each month's submission deadline to the 20th, giving you 5 more days to work on your submissions! So everyone, get in here!
The theme for the April contest is "Hero power interactions"
Inspired by the BRM card [card]Majordomo Executus[/card], we want you to design cards that in some way alter your hero's hero power. These cards can come in several variations:
1) Cards that empower your hero power (e.g. a card that gives Mages +1 damage to their Fireblast) or enable multiple triggers
2) Cards that change the behavior of the hero powers (think [card]Steamwheedle Sniper[/card])
3) Cards that completely replace the hero power with another (think [card]Shadowform[/card] or [card]Lord Jaraxxus[/card]), etc.
Rules
General rules
1. We'll only accept one submission per person, multiple submissions by the same person won't be accepted
2. Unless the theme doesn't state otherwise, don't create new classes or hero powers. This includes cards for new classes as well
3. Don't create new keywords, if you want to create a new mechanic you have to word it out
4. Don't submit other people's designs as your own
5. Don't submit your designs of earlier months, even if they fit the current theme. Keep it fresh!
6. If your card spawns any kind of token, weapon or card in hand, don't forget to include that in the submission.
7. Designed cards can be either neutral or of any of the 9 classes so yes, you can create neutral minions that change hero powers if you so desire.
Submission instructions and prizes

If you already submitted your card and don't want your real name published, just send us a follow up email. Also don't forget to tell us an alternative name or internet handle we can put on your card!
3) Follow us on Twitter. It's not obligatory but we appreciate it. You can thus read when Nydra says something stupid and we make fun of him publically.
