Cards where it doesn’t make sense that your hero is being replaced:

Murky (Hieii), Bodyguard(Malencia), We Need a Detective (ZiombalaBoms), Huln Highmountain (Ligiertheexalted)

Why isn’t Bodyguard just a minion with Taunt?

How did Sherlock Holmes make it to the finals? It's not even a parody like the previous Murlock Holmes. Shouldn't there be a rule that all cards must have a grounding in Warcraft lore? Sherlock Holmes sticks out badly from all the rest for being an already existing character. It'd be like having a card that turns your hero into Homer Simpson.

 Murlocs are selfish (fish HAHAHAHA) so they don't care of your hero, they take your place and INVADE THE WORLD ! That's why murky replace the hero ;D

How many upvotes was the cutoff?

Quote from Vhisper >>

How exactly are finalists chosen? This was my first contest and my first entry got 10 upvotes. I don't know if that's good or bad, but I'm also wondering how they choose the finalists.

The process for selecting finalists is detailed in all of our competition submission topics:

 Competition Process

How do we determine the qualifying finalists? First, we'll pull up-vote data from each submission using the formula detailed below:

(ab) / (c) = x

Where,
a = The total number of submissions on the same page as the submission.
b = The total number of up-votes that the submission received.
c = The total number of up-votes on the same page as the submission.
x = The submission's final score.

The formula basically measures which cards stood out the most, with the necessary assumption that each page is about equal in overall submission quality. It will be the entries that receive the highest final scores that move on to the Final Phase.

The bottom line is that, although entries on the earlier pages of the Submission Topic are much more visible and thus receive many more up-votes than entries on later pages, you don't actually have to rush to get your entry in as soon as possible because the up-votes end up being weighted by what page your entry ends up on in order to determine its final score.

But wait, there's more! During each Weekly Card Design Competition, each Fan Creation Forum moderators will be given a Wild Card, which they can use to advance any one entry that they feel was initially overlooked or under-appreciated to the Final Phase, regardless of its final score. Wild Cards are our way of spicing things up a bit, but please don't ask to be given one or be upset if you aren't given one. These are just supposed to be fun.
(Also, it should go without saying that, while we moderators are allowed to participate in the competitions, we are not allowed to benefit from Wild Cards.)

Congratulations to yababa! ^_^

I believe Puple already has the next competition theme discussion topic up, and it's a special one. =)

WTF? Why did so many people vote for Sara the Val'kyr? It's just blatantly OP. I think advertising these polls in the news is really bringing down the quality of the voters. At least this week, the know-nothings didn't succeed in edging out a legitimate card.
