I hear you, Cheese. I really had to limit myself to keep from flooding the votes, so I narrowed it down to my top three: Arms Thievery and Intimidating Shout because I think they're well designed and effective in their simplicity, and Shark Attack, because I am an absolute easy mark.

Ohh these are some nice entries

My top 3 would probably be:

1. Shark Attack 

2. Arms Thievery 

3. Tourist Trap

Wow, that's one hardcore final. I love 6 of the 8 cards.

I'm not sure what Target Lock counters exactly. Taunt? Doesn't feel like it, since you still can't attack other minions without taunt.

 I guees it counters Taunt in a way that taunted minions don't protect your hero anymore.

I must say I like a lot of these cards this week. Shame there's only 8 entries to choose from... still they're a nice collection of ideas. 

Wow, there sure are a lot of great card this week!

These are neat cards. All are interesting and reasonable. My vote goes to "Tourist Trap". It's a great card, the exact thing I want to put into my Reno Hunter deck and punish those endless priest/mage/paladin discover decks.

The winner is Obvious - it's Arms Thievery

I voted for Shark Attack, Scarecrow, Tourist trap and Intimitating shout. Very simple but good designs.  

I really liked the idea behind Shark Attack but it won't see play. Murloc and pirates are very specific. I wish beasts were included. I  voted it for its creativity. 

Master of Remedies is just OP. The stats are generous enough and you get to draw. It generates a cheap spell for auctioneer too. Rogue has a strong chance to abuse it as it does not say enemy's poisonous minions. 

Target lock is just a disgusting design. I don't understand how it got to the finals. If it existed, people would cry for a nerf. I hate brainless smorc decks and this encourages it more. If you want to ignore taunt so badly, run silence in your deck. This card is like silence ALL taunts and DRAW A CARD. A big no no. At least remove the draw effect.

Arms thievery is powercreep of ooze cards. RIP medivh. If no enemy weapons, just recycle it with auctioneer. 

Teron is a boring design also the wording is a little strange. Why not just say "Destroy all summoned minions" What do you mean summoned by another card? I don't get it. 

Generally I don't like to talk about cards that I didn't vote for as I afraid offending people. Keep up the work, its just my ideas you may of course disagree. I wish all you guys good luck.
