I literally shrieked at making the top 20... Thank you, everyone!

I'm getting tired of all these silence Priest cards. Before the stupid Purify card came out you would barely see silence cards in these comps. But now see people trying their best at making an amazing Silence after Blizzard nerfed most of them. The Purifier is a little powerful a 2 mana 1/1 that silences a minion and draws you a card is too much for me. I'm not really impressed by any of the cards this week, but I give my vote to Gnomish Amender, Twisted Sorceress and Loan Clerk for unique and flavourful ideas.

Alright, some comments:

I feel that the wording of Unstable Caster is slightly off. to "your" left suggests to me that it's to the hero's left and not the minion's (which I assume it's supposed to be) I think this should use the same wording as Dorothee

 

I find it uncomfortable when a really cool idea like Exarch Jaraas is made, but the card is so blatantly under-costed and overpowered, that I am hesitant to vote for it. Do I vote for it because the concept is cool, or do I not because the card seems to have little thought on balance?

Darnassus Aspirant would have won this one

You can't say it's just a 2-mana 3/3, as it has divine shield, but more importantly, TAUNT. This means that it would be difficult to destroy the enemy hero without spells, as you cannot just focus all of the minions to the enemy's face to stop it. It definitely does not have as much threat as Jaraxxus's hero power, but I would argue that it is at least as strong, as it does not need taunt activators to keep up the defense. A large problem with Jaraxxus is because it sets your health so low. With Exarch, you can safely play him against a control or aggro deck, and they would not be able to remove Exarch without spells or big combos, making it so extracting insane value is safe to do.

My initial impression of Trap Master is that it's too strong, since it has the possibility to draw 2 cards while still having vanilla stats. I think it should lose a stat point or two.

 

Chosen by Elune is such an interesting card. When I read it I though about gaining 10/10 crystals, not gaining current mana crystals + 10. I really like the fires and if it's the later then it feels as if it has no back draft. Play it, gain more mana, win the game with a combo -> sad!

Fuck, I thought I had a chance but then everyone tell me my card is OP. Well, it's just my ~30th try anyway right ?

Shadow cultist will win by a very large margin, I'm calling it. 

I think Loan Clerk is a funny card, however it's deathrattle is too detrimental. My choice is Nerubian Scout. It's a fairly powerful card that works well within the rogue class.

Desert crawler-bad stats, a bit lazy since it´s a rogue card

Exarch Jaraas-way too op, spawning 3/3 minions with div shl and taunt for just 2 mana?, not creative enough ,deathrattle op

Shadow cultist-nice design, seems balanced, probably third best here in my opinion

Twisted sorceress-that servant of ys copy paste annoys me, just no

Unstable caster-not impressed, like the left/right effects although it comes at the time we already met Dorothy, so just lazy

 Trao master-one of the better cards, maybe just a bit op cause of the Clocked huntress

Siddha-love it, one of the more creative, op in fatigue matchups so i would probably put it as a class card (hunter??? I have no idea which class)

Triple threat-too random, agree with the guy who said it´s just a worst sl-7

Darchow,the enigma-personal favourite, love the idea of a card that is spellproof to a certain spell (maybe we see something that´s a bit op but does not interact with inervate for example)

Gnomish amender-lazy-Anubisath sentinel

Darkspear ranger-like the effect-there should be more cards like this one (which set a curse on something) ,but deal 3 damage a boring effect

Purifier-so it made it to the final...it would probably cost like 4 mana min by blizz standards op

Nerubian scout-way too op

Double aggent-seems solid, seen a dozen user created cards with similar effect, probably my fifth favourite

Mind breaker-absolutly love it

Choosen of elune-just what?, how is this balanced-play it on 1 then deathwing,geddon,moonfire... just broken

Loan clerk-coin for a mana crystal- playable-said no one ever

Bronzeflight dragon egg-we´ve seen a couple of those with kara so...lazy, like the play or return to deck effect though

Priest of tough love-one of better cards, maybe not so balanced with n´zoth

Cardspawner-although random is the main theme of this game, and blizzard would probably print a card like this,i don´t like it at all, it´s one of the least creative cards here

Think the complaints about loan shark are missing the charm of the card. Its meant to be risky. Which is great thematically as well. A double edged sword. either you win with tempo or lose. The decks that would play this are the sort that usually win early or lose anyways.

Definitely one of my favs of this week. But I gotta say I like a lot of the cut this week. very strong submissions.
