Not only was this a terrible theme, but people used it as an excuse to create overpowered effects. There was just a general lack of good design this week. I honestly can't say any of the cards this week are good. Sdnh2a already brought up how almost no one tried to make their effect relevant to the "no duplicates" trigger itself, and I agree with this sentiment. The Golden Ogre is the only one that does this at all. It should have been a Legendary, both because it's effect doesn't make sense being triggered twice and it has a proper name, and it needs to be reworded. But it's the only one I can at all justify voting for.

Finals once again. Good luck everyone. 

I don't think you guys are being fair. All 5 examples of the mechanic that are in the game right now are fairly statted Legendary minions with a powerful effect. Its only natural that most people chose to go with that.

Also even after I joked about it in discussion, line Rager made it in with "Taunto" in its card text, nice job... 

I mean, that is the joke. It's like Charrrrge on Skycap'n Kragg. It's actually one of my favourite cards this week, even if I do think it's a bit too good.

 Yeah, having "Taunto" rather than "Taunt" is part of the flavor. "The Lone Rager" is a play on "The Lone Ranger", whose sidekick was "Tonto". Given the Skycap'n as just one example of humorous flavor making it's way into card text, it seems like a pretty Hearthstone-appropriate joke to me.

 Ah. The humor was lost on me my bad, Nevermind to my previous statements then, sorry. 

Why so many contestants this week ?

Why so many contestants this week ?

This week was about creating a highlander card. Cards with "If your deck has no duplicates" are, as we know from the game, Legendaries with (often) great effects. Usually, we're all about wanting to create cards that could be in the game, why should this week be any different? I really don't understand the grudge that some of you guys have on creating a card where the "If your deck has no duplicates" doesn't interact with the deck nor duplicates - that's not how the mechanics work currently, so I don't see the reason to complain about people not creating such cards. Does Reno, Raza, Inkmaster etc. interact that way? Despite you think it's not good doesn't change the fact that this was the weeks theme, and obviously people will create cards with an effect like Reno's. After all, the card was mentioned a million times in the restrictions.

My vote for ZorkKnight and his Araj The Summoner. Cool idea and cool art and lore. All - brilliant!

And very interesting to play! Wish you luck and win!
