You can find me here! Good luck everyone!
Holy fuck, most imbalanced week I have ever seen. Like, a) why are people creating such vastly OP game-breaking cards? and b) why are people voting for them? O_o Felhound, Hellhounds, Voidwrath etc to name a few.
There are only a handful well balanced and flavorful cards in the entire finals set. My vote goes to Reinforcements and Mystical Sheep. The latter primarily to avoid that other OP cards win.
Recuperate. Maybe also Salvage Squad, but I'm not sure how it works if it's the first or second spell you've played.
Hellhounds looks awesome, but the Windfury seems like a bit much. It also doesn't have a Beast or a Demon tag (should be one or the other, IMO).
Have a feeling mine will be considered too simple or RNG based which will hurt me but glad I made it to the finals.
My vote goes to Covert Agent and Reinforcements with the latter getting my vote.
@Ferior how do you think Counterfeit Coin is balanced? This card is completely busted as people already complain about Miracle Rogues having so many cheap spells to draw with Auctioneer. Now let's have a card that replaces it self IN THE SAME TURN? Completely busted
Felhound has a issue that I didn't see when I upvoted it. Namely, you can't have fewer Mana Crystal than your opponent if you go first unless you get rid of 2 of your mana crystal, while if you go second, you only need to get rid of 1.
The idea about synergy with Mana Crystal breaking is nice, but in its current form it's straight up unfair
@Ferior I think you've dismissed a lot of cards as unbalanced without really understanding them. Some examples:
Salvage Squad: So many limitations when compared to raven idol. Can't discover a minion and can't play on turn one (because you need to have cast 3 spells.) I think more often then not i'd prefer raven idol though it could certainly work in constructed.
Multiplicity Totem: Too much RNG to call this a good card (balance wise) and it has terrible tempo (3 mana for a 1/3). Don't think it's better than tuskar totamic.
Fake Traps: [Disclaimer] Obviously my card so I'm biased. But what deck currently would this fit into? Mid range beast hunter? Face Hunter? It too anti tempo for Fake traps to be run in either of those decks.
Yrel: I would actually say it's underpowered. Cards which say 'At the start of your turn' are rarely good because your opponent has a turn to deal with it. In the case of Yrel, you would need to spend 8 mana for 7/7 worth of stats. And then you have to hope that your opponent can't deal one damage (to kill the silver hand recruit). He doesn't even need to kill the 6/6.
Hellhounds: Usually I doubt you would discard the card you want. Fist of Jaraxxus never sees play and, although this is a better card, I doubt Hellhounds would.
Thanks for the vote! I'll keep my fingers crossed for this week.
VOTE FOR MY CARD in the Card Creation Competition of the week.
Man, I'm pissed. Sure, I never expected my card to make final round this week. But I lost to a broken shit card that would make me uninstall the game if it was ever implemented. And to rub it in, I lost by 1 vote! Ugh.
What a week - janky rules, few entries, terribly broken cards, braindead voting.
/rant over
Next week can only be better.
Here are the cards I voted for:
Mystical Sheep: Cute idea, roughly balanced vs. Pit Snake. Also Hearthstone needs more sheep.
Moroes: Interesting synergy potential with Rogue's coin generation cards. Plus, Nice to see spell damage in Rogue, not just Mages.
First of all, thanks to the moderator(s) for picking Hellhounds as a Wildcard! I thought it might be interesting to use the discard mechanics for this week's theme.
I saw quite a number of criticisms against Hellhounds so I would like to address it. I would like to admit that it was just a 2 mana 2/2 "When you discard this, summon 3 Hellhounds" card at the initial stage of creation. Thinking it was a little plain, I then went on to edit it; increasing its cost by (1) and giving it Windfury. Reason behind is to make it a little bit more "flavorful" but I guess it might be a mistake. I compared it with Thrallmar Farseer and thought Hellhounds is slightly weaker standing as an individual card. I agree it might be too strong if the effect is fetched out by discard mechanics.
Hmmm I probably should have not made any changes and kept it as at the initial stage.
Surprised and happy to see that my Recuperate made it to the finals! Good luck to everyone!

Someone voted for my entry a few hours after the final poll was up. If I had his vote before, I would have made it into the final phase.
I'm not salty at all.
