Happy Season Finale, Everyone! ^_^

This marks the end of Season 3 of our beloved Hearthpwn Weekly Card Design Competition. Six months just flies by, doesn't it!? As was the case for our Seasons 1 and 2 finales, you'll see below a list of all of this season's winners (our few Special Edition competitions excluded). As usual, you're to vote for as many or as few as you like, and at the end we'll be crowning our Season Champion. Also as usual, results will not be visible until after the voting period has concluded. The Season 3 Champion Poll will end on Friday, 24/June at 21:00 UTC.

But wait! There's more!

In addition to this Finale Poll, we've decided to bring back Mini-Competitions! Yes, we have three mini-competitions that we'll be running with the help of each of our three multi-time competition winners for this season. These competitions will have 24-hour submission windows, followed by short 2-hour up-voting periods and then 21- to 22-hour polls. Their themes will be a lot more restrictive than usual, themes that wouldn't make for great week-long competitions but might just be fun for shorter events. The first one will begin tomorrow, so check back and see what's in store!

NOTE: Note that "Murloc Holmes" and "Watt-son" are part of a combined entry. Also note that cards with a black border have additional material, like unique tokens, located in a spoiler at the bottom of the finalist gallery; they are listed alphabetically by the name of the finalist card.

Eredar's Hope, Jaraxxus

Failed Suitor

The Ancient Prophecy

I gotta say "Traveling Merchant" is by far the most outstanding card... :>

That aside, I really love the flavor of "Raid Boss" and "Hippogryph Rider", even tho the former is ridiculous OP.

So will the next weekly card design competition be after the 24th November?

There is no doubt, the best entry by far is Murloc Holmes and Watt-son. The flavor is just off the charts. Not to mention it's also a well-balanced card combo.

 I don't really the see flavor tbh. If it would read "discover a secret", but the way it is now, it's very generic in my book.

There's issues in Discovering a Secret, since they only belong to certain classes, and you can only Discover things from your own class. It could have said "Discover a Secret from any class" but that would lose the part here where he is supposed to be investigating your opponent, which is my interpretation of the card. Also, a huge part of the flavor is the art. I especially like the art picked for Watt-son. It fits so perfectly. Art is usually just OK, but here it makes the cards for me.

 Flavor: agree. Balance: disagree. If Watt-son had -1 Attack and Holmes had -1 Health I might agree, but as is I think most every deck would run Watt-son as a better form of Looter.

A vanilla 2/5 Murloc for 3 is, if not playable, at least borderline. I will readily admit that Murloc Holmes is perhaps the most awesome Legendary name I've seen and totally deserves to be a card in some form.

Regarding Reload: Have you considered that this card reads "you will never loose to fatigue"? A one of in a control hunter would be mandatory...

Quote from oogahound >>

I feel like we need some context? It feels bad judging these cards based soley on nothing. Some may be a bit "off" because they're fitting into specific themes. Especially considering we are just coming out of a "Big Legendary" competition where people were encouraged to pick the grandest and most epic of cards. Some of these are very simple, and elegant towards the competition rules, but you just can't tell unless you go back and check.

As far as i know Blizzard always made clear that legendaries should not be better than the usual powerlevel.
