...because it's a card game? Interesting mechanics come before trying to logic things away.

Finally settled my vote on 6 cards that I think are interesting, innovative, somehow balanced and fun! Yours are not the most balanced but I voted for it as well since it is very interesting and innovative!

Criticisms:
Arcane Pulse isn't even worded correctly. It's a cool design nonetheless.

Holy Cow is an obvious troll card. It's hardly unique, the only reason it made it to the final poll is because people like the pun.

Sinister Laugh is very OP. It essentially stops your opponent from doing anything. Imagine if Zoo had this, flood the board early on then play this = gg.

Favorite Cards This Week:
-Flame Storm
-Frozen Power
-Penance
-Despicable
-Tame Beast
-Guardian of the Grove
-Blood of the Pitlord
-Storm Imp

Thanks for the wild card award this week!

I'm really happy to see Tame Beast, that I've reported twice because I've created the exact same card a few weeks back and now it's in the finalists...

Fair enough. Good luck to him then.

It's hard to tell. It's a very slow card, since you have to wait until next turn for the steal. In that way, it's like Corruption, which is unusably bad. The effect on this card is a lot more powerful than Corruption, though, with the downside that the opponent gets a turn with a way buffed minion. I have a feeling that it would turn out to not be a very good card, like Corruption.

The question is, after the stealing, would it retain the +4/+4? Because if so, it's easy to get a lot of value out of the card, even with weak minions.

For example, you go and use Blood of the Pitlord on a Silver Hand Recruit (for real!) so it becomes a 5/5, at 5 Health the enemy will have trouble traiding it away. So at the start of your next turn, you'll have a 5/X minion on your side of the board, and the enemy will be down a minion, all this for 3 mana. Needless to say, against stronger minions, it'll be exponentially better.

So, assuming that the enemy can't kill his own minion, Blood of the Pitlord is a Mind Control of sorts for 4 Health (the difference in Attack) and 3 Mana, which is possibly too cheap, albeit the delay could justify it. The problem is, if the minion keeps the +4/+4, it's way better than just a delayed Mind Control.

I like the card if only for flavor, but it's likely undercosted by a fair margin.

How is the wild card awarded?

 Each Fan Creations Moderator (myself, Asylum and Puple) is allowed one 'Wild Card' entry each week, and if we choose to use it we can put one card through despite it not receiving enough votes. We might do this if we felt a card didn't receive enough recognition, or just particularly liked a concept. The only rule we gave ourselves is that we can't Wild Card a fellow moderator's card, for obvious reasons.

Wow, that was a close final! Thanks to everyone who voted for me, and congratulations to the other entries as well - as RandomScribbles said, the top cards this week were clearly very well thought out, and they also managed to stick to their theme very well.

Oh, and the Submission and Discussion Topics for the new competition are now up ;)

Thanks to everyone who voted for "Storm Imp"! And congrats ShadowsofSense and other finalists! :D
