Bloodmancer Zenor

Rofl Bloodmancer ... there is so many wrong things about it, but the worst one is probably that the cost reduction works with Life Tap. But hey, cg to making finals, i guess there is a demand for stuff like this :)

TINY GOLEM COSTS 11 INSTEAD 0F 4 BECAUSE OF EVOLVE SYNERGY INTO MOUNTAIN GIANT

Anyway, this time I ve taken 70 upvotes, more than everyone else, if I won t won this time i ll get mad XD

I'm certain the lifetap synergy is intended. The cost is reduced each time you take damage on your turn, not for each damage on your turn that you take. IE: You lifetap, you reduce it's cost by 1. You hellfire in the same turn as well as lifetap and it's cost is reduced by 2 in that turn. I don't see anything wrong with it's design.

My inherent problem is, you dont have to have the card in the hand for it to get the discounts, so you will play this card for very cheap every game (meaning you will not lose any tempo playing that) and the hero power is just nuts. AOE that heals you or fireball that heals you, cool.

 Why don't you just vote for Tiny Golem? XD

I might, but iv been around long enough to know this has been done before several times. Dont get me wrong, your card is pretty good as a whole, so kudos on the design, its just not that interesting to me in the end :)

 There are innumerable examples of the highest-voted card during the Submission phase failing to win the Final Poll. Same for the cards that are #1 in scoring going-in; I've been in that particular situation multiple times...and failed to secure the gold medal every time. When it comes to translating early success into a true win all bets are off, which is why I maintain my defeatist attitude lel :/

I'm in that "#1" position again, so...yeah. I'll remain positive for about another hour, and then slide back into my "comfort zone" of self-critical sadness and excessive sighing.

Edit: ...good luck to everyone, by the way lol

Fffffff ..... forgot to submit even though i was online alot these last few days. Ok good luck all. 

Leatherworking has that sweet, sweet flavor.  

Most of these were pretty clunky honestly.  I appreciate the armor golem's idea of costing armor, but I don't like the 12 mana card.  If you bring that mechanic into another contest I'll probably be down.

No common or rare cards FeelsBadMan. Demigorgon is great tho

 I voted for Demigorgon as well. Very interesting card

Damn. Oh well.

Voted for mecha'zoth, we need a mecha'saron and mecha'ysh

Best two cards here are Leatherworking and Light's Judgment. No contest.

 Lol i was trying to illude myself i will win this time... 

Only voted for Tiny Golem and Magtheridon this time. All the other cards are either crazily OP (Mecha'Zoth, Bloodmancer, to lesser extent Amplification) or have the high cost just kind of stuck on to the design to fulfil the limitation. Having said that, I like the theme of Memorial Day and Leatherworking.

Tiny Golem - simple yet elegant, can imagine that getting played, well-balanced.

Magtheridon - I like how to be able to play him, you have to end your previous turn on low health - that creates danger, makes it a bit risky, and a 5/9 lifesteal taunt, although a great minion, is not game-breaking.
