This week was simple: Your card's text only had to include a number greater than or equal to 10.
We have whittled down ~116 valid entries to just 12 of the community's favorites. Check out all the finalists below and vote in our poll (vote for as many or as few as you like) to help decide the winner and be sure to check back after the poll finishes for the announcement of the winner and the start of a new theme!
But we got 2 of the first page this time! Beeing third on the page most people looks at means you woudn't have won anyway. But I like your card.
I would have gotten through on any other page, especially since I was only 4 votes behind, out of 65. The first page vote average gets inflated by people voting for everything.

Honestly I think your card deserves to be here more than mine. I'm surprised my card got as many votes as it did.

Sure, it's fun in the finals, i regret posting on page 2, too. But we both weren't even second, so it would be unlikely to win here. Ofc, we miss the fun here, as i said ;) but let's comment on the finalists, instead of mourning ^^
Timmy is surely going to win anyway, I guess. While I generally highly dislike time-based cards, this one is okay. My favorites this week are Ogre Summoner and Jacques, the Ripper.
Poultryblast is my favorite. Great name, referencing a great card. While many of my favorites didn't make the final poll here, I think most of these are pretty good and I'm glad none of the excessively broken or complicated cards made it through.
I am also really surprised nurgling didn't get in. I was almost convinced his card would win the whole thing. Anyway onto my thoughts on a few cards:
Timmy the Impatient: Punishes people who are doing lots of thinking. Encourages aggro decks. Also probably wouldn't see play until close to legend rank as people there take their time to plan things out unlike most people in lower ranks. Not really a fan.
Lady Anacondra: While the effect seems cool, in almost all cases it's basically "The first card you play each turn costs (1) less". That effect also only kicks in once your at 10 mana meaning she is a really bad card.
Gallywix, the Generous: I love the idea, and giving handbuff extra synergies would be sweet but unfortunately, pirate warrior would have a field day with this.
Goblin Curvebomber: Absolutely broken. Unless it hits one of the few high costs minions in someones deck (very unlikely, especially early game) it basically discards the card from their hand. No one is gonna play a minion that costs 4 or 5 times it's original mana cost as almost anything they topdeck will be better. Super powerful effect with only minor stat loss.
Jacques, the Ripper: Heavily favors the second player and starting the game with a 3/3 is so powerful it'd be in almost every deck.
Jacques, the Ripper: Heavily favors the second player and starting the game with a 3/3 is so powerful it'd be in almost every deck.
It seems really powerful to start the game with a 3/3, but it's countered by the high cost of cards you need to have in your hand to trigger it. If your cards cost 12 or more total, you aren't going to be able to play much on the first few turns, most likely.

All you need really is a single 8+ minion (don't forget giants!). Plus if your second player you can get this guy with a hand full of 3 drops and since this guy will likely trade with 1-2 minions, that wont hinder you much. Plus some strong decks already start with big cost hands like renolock, this just pushes them over the top.
Timmy the Impatient - Punishes mobile players and people who think out their whole turn. Not a big fan. It's also a design I've seen a few times. 4/10
Mad Mad Delton Ytrell - It's my card, moving on. 4000/10
Tenor Hire - Man that's a glorious pun. Not a great card but it's not the worst. Eh. Neat idea. 6/10
Xavius, Nightmare Lord - Reaaaaally pushes aggro decks. Not sure if I love it or hate it... It's interesting nonetheless. 7/10
Ogre Summoner - Now this one, I like. I feel that getting a minion from any class is decently strong, and 4/2 is a nice statline. The effect is genius in my opinion. I voted for it. 8.5/10
Lady Anacondra - I've seen it a few times. I can't think of much in Druid for it to match with. Aviana? Maybe...? 5/10
Gallywix, the Generous - I do like this concept, but it does push aggro pretty dang hard. Eugh. I like the design though. 7/10
Goblin Curvebomber - Nope. Seriously, how is this balanced at 1 mana? I can only assume something was lost in the design... I assume it wouldn't stick, so I'll grade it off that. In that case, it's still bonkers. I'd see this no earlier than turn 4, hopefully, and even then... whoof. 2/10
Jacques the Ripper - Honestly not sure how to feel on this one. I voted for it because I actually really like the effect, but crimony this would be scary in druid. I would like to see what kind of theorycrafting it would provoke, but I'm not sure if it would be too prevalent. DO wish it was a beast like the art indicates though, might make Mark of Y'Shaarj playable. 7/10
Treasurehound Ronya - 30 wins is 100 gold already. I don't think it would be worth messing with your curve and the inner workings of the card information is janky. I do love the concept behind the card (I wanted Sahoran, Dustlord to make it to the finals) but it's too janky for my tastes. 4/10 realization, 7.5/10 concept
Poultryblast - The concept's cute. The realization...? I wouldn't play it...? I dunno. Polymorph as a destroy is 1 mana cheaper and denies deathrattles. Chickens are rare and ironically this card can't counter an angry chicken deck that runs this card. I dunno. I understand how it got here, just not a fan. 5/10
Ogre Clan Leader - It's an old concept. I don't hat the statline, but it could be better. 3/10
Vote for whomever you want, but this week may have some of the most interesting concepts we've gotten in awhile. Just remember who's card had the biggest number.

I voted for Mad Mad Delton Ytrell, as it's a clever interpretation of the prompt, rather than being a scaled up version of an existing effect. No offense to Poultryblaster (sorry for picking on this one!), but it could deal 2, 3, or 8 damage and still be the same card.

I'm not too surprised or upset that you gave my card this rating. I thought it was a clever twist on the forgetful effect that I had never seen before but admittedly, it does pale in comparison to some of these other cards. Funny that you mentioned the statline because the card was a 6/5 at one point, and it was even a 6/6 at some point. Before you made your card, my card actually had the highest number, and that was probably the only reason I made it here in the first place.

Dammit, 13th. This is what I get for posting on the first page.
I know the feeling. Same thing happened to me two weeks ago with my Artifact Hunting. Not the best card, but it had quite a few votes and lost to Fishing, a (sorry to say) horrible card that stole frm your opponent's deck. Never go for the first page anymore :D !
Thanks for those voting for Ogre Summoner, and thanks for the words Nurgling and Zanywoop.
I'm not sure how people can think Poultryblast is a nice card. It's a nice pun, I'll give you that, but after that it's just an expensive removal/very niche card. It might as well say "Give a Leper Gnome +10/+10" or something along those lines.
I like Mad Mad Delton Ytrell the most (besides my own card ofcourse!), but it really annoys me with the lacking dot in the end :D

Oh god you're right... Don't make cards at three in the morning kids. Not even once.

I must say I wish I thought of some of these ideas... or at least something that's very interesting but different at the same time (in a good way).
Anyway it's nice to see how varied the entries are this week. I'm starting to wonder if this week will be like last week when it comes to the votes.
My Entry for this week's Card Design Competition - Season 8.16:

Alright, let's run some card discussion...
