While I can figure out how Escape Plan could have been made without being aware that a nearly-identical card won in the past, there's no excuse for Wish for Companionship which is straight up a collectible version of the card from Zinaar's fight...
Apart from that, I like Counter Strike, Shrapnel Blast, Make a Friend and of course my own Cannon Fodder. Honorable mention to Pyrotechnics with a nice effect but an art that doesn't fit the card at all.
Strangely, some poll choices are already filled when I open it. Am I the only one that encounter this issue?
It should be just a cache issue, it used to happen to me very often, dont rly know what fixed it. If you didnt pick anything previously, on the server side there should not be an extra vote for that finalist, so you should manually de-select the choices that seem to be picked for you and select the one(s) you want. I know it is annoying AF, but oh well :/
Wooo I made it! Thanks to those who helped me with the flavor and naming and the issues with my prior ideas (nurgling, Henry, Kova, GameTheory, and anyone else I forgot ).
Of the finalists, my favorite cards are Goblin Hot Potato and Counter Strike. Personally I don't like Investigage. First, it doesn't feel like a Druid card besides the Choose One aspect and being similar to Raven Idol. The 'One Per Line' is needlessly complicated when it's almost never going to be used to discover a minion, and rarely to discover a spell. Most of the time this would be a 1-Mana tutor for some combo piece. Given Druid's already strong card draw I think this is both too good for a 1-Cost card and also just unneeded for the class.
Counter Strike and Make Friends are cards I think should be in the game. Make Friends in particular would be a great card to release after Frozen Throne rotates out of Standard.
Ok, the results should be up (hopefully). But there r no FC mods online atm, so you will have to wait for the next discussion thread a bit longer, sorry.

Totally aggre, I was really supprised how was Wish for Companionship was accepted in the first place.
Why are some people hating on Escape plan? I see comments mentioning how the card looks like another one from a previous card design competition. In my opinion everyone could have thought of that effect anyway (see Cheat Death). Not to mention, that ideas overlap at some point. It's not normal that everyone can come up constantly with something completely new and fresh.
[edit] Gratz, SWGolgoth, you deserved it. Your card was super flavourful.

And imho you should. I don't know who reads the winner's gallery (and gets an inspiration from there) but imho people can design cards even w/o being aware of already existing similar ones. So don't feel guilty - it's inevitable that ideas overlap at some point. Just imagine a 52-card deck and imagine how you take a card from it at random. Even if you draw different cards 52 times, on the 53th time you will inevitably draw a duplicate.
Things are more complicated when talking about designing cards in general, but this statement can be applied there as well.
Behold, foolish interlopers! I am commanding this mortal to spread the will of the Scourge throughout the interwebs, encouraging you to seek out me, Archlich Kel'Thuzad! Now coming to you as the tenth class of Hearthstone!
I am a finalist in this Class Creation Competition, so if you could give it a look I would be greatly appreciative <3

Custom cards :
CLASSES : Alchemist (CCC#5 | Phase V) | Chef (CCC#4)
EXPANSIONS : Year of the Scorpion (Year Comp)
I want Initiation to be a thing so bad! It would make Blackhowl Gunspire control much closer to viable.
Good job to all finalists, pretty interesting cards all-round.
Shout out to Goblin Hot Potato, while the execution could have been a bit better, i do love the effect, so good thinking! ;-)

Congrats to all the finalists!
Currently working on the Tinker! K&C and WW / JUG and KotFT / Classic / Basic / Introduction
My Previous Classes: Apothecary (unfinished) / Chronomancer / Death Knight (old)
My Previous Expansions: Hallow's End
Voted for Cannon fodder and Counter strike but if I had to choose one I'd say Cannon fodder (would love the animation)
I will miss Ben Brode forever

Where are the mods when you need the results up?

Anyway, CG to SWGolgoth!

Holy crap, Goloth and Nobravery decimated the poll.

Death Shock was my vote. Love the concept. Prefer it at zero mana though.
Hey everyone, sorry for the wait! I finally figured out how to create the new Discussion thread, and here it is!
Edit: Congratulations to SWGolgoth, by the way ^_^
