Blizzard may have a top team of designers working on new Hearthstone cards but nothing compares to the imagination of a child.
Check out our list of the best Hearthstone decks for beginners.
Twitter user John Tucci tweeted a picture to Blizzard of a Hearthstone card his nine-year-old daughter drew. The crayon-drawn card depicts the Leoparden, a cave-dwelling cat-like creature made of fur.
So my 9 yo daughter drew a card for @PlayHearthstone and asked me to show it to @bdbrode & @Blizzard_Ent
Behold the LEOPARDEN! He lives in the caves and eats Kobolds! She said his voice when played is “you Kobolds are DELICIOUS” and his clothes are Kobold fur. #Hearthstone pic.twitter.com/pUM0omVE4A

This inspired professional illustrator Kate Holden to create a mock-up of what the drawing would look like as an official Hearthstone card. The answer – pretty cool. Even Hearthstone director, Ben Brode, thought so.
I can’t even imagine the mana cost of this 100/100 card. I couldn’t resist painting a mockup though pic.twitter.com/qDmx6e8Ehr

The Leoparden is pretty over-powered, with 100/100, and is equally as vicious as it looks in the original concept art.
We look forward to seeing a Leoparden Hearthstone card in the future (hopefully).
