Your card must be a 1/1 minion that costs (1). Card text and flavour is completely up to you.

Jade Golem isn't functional. It doesn't make sense for it to be a collectible minion. The correct way to make this card would be for it to be a spell that summoned a Jade Golem. Setting the Health and Attack of the Jade Golem to 1 is contradictory to its functionality. So, Jade Golem should have been disqualified. If you make the assumption that the Health and Attack scale as you summon Jade Golems, well, then it isn't a 1/1 minion, is it?

Thank you for voicing this, I was wondering about its functionality too. Maybe the person made it with intention of the entire jade golem mechanic changing.....? Since, you know, each card says "Summon a Jade Golem" all the cards would just summon 1/1s? :P
See, I interpreted Jade Golem as a joke card, hence my not voting for it as a sort of "Smart alec..." response.
@TheWizardM - What cat? I didn't submit a cat. Do you mean kegstand's Dupl-icat?
@Zukuu - Was Imgur down for you, personally, this go around? Because that's actually happened to me, once
Nah, it's this shitty "copy-image-link" bullshit imgur does sometimes. It says it has finished processing but really isn't, leaving you with your hearthpwn link in your clipboard...
I agree, it's a pretty tight design space, especially considering the relatively aggressive meta of hearthstone (compared to other card games).
I would've voted for @CecilHoshino 's cat if it made it to the poll (and if he hadn't changed it into a powered down version of Firefly.
My votes go to; Vilecat for it's simple yet interesting mechanic (I like how it's almost a weapon but not quite), and Mana Wisp, because it's simple and I like wisps.
Cards I think are a bit overloaded and/or overpowered; Chrominius, Azure Whelpling, Druid of the Night. Chrominius gives you not only a good amount of card draw, but also a way to scout, and a sort of guarantee on the card quality of the draws; if it's a too high mana cost, neither you nor your opponent can play the card. Azure Whelpling is a better version of On the Hunt, due to it's flexibility as a burst damage card (due to Brann Bronzebeard synergy). Druid of the night is a bit on the strong side.
Black cat and frogg-saron seem a bit clunky to me; black cat just draws a dead card most of the time, while frogg-saron will most likely cast a random Spare Part on either itself (making it basicly a textless 1-2/1-2) or on whatver minion your opponent played the turn before.
I'm pretty sure Spare Parts are a token, and cannot be casted by Yogg-Sarons :P
However, I get your dealo with almost all the other cards except Azure Whelping (Basically just a Elven Archer with a bonus due to the fact that it is class specific (same reason why Cult Sorcerer is better than Kobold Geomancer.
I get where you're coming from with Black Cat, but my reasoning behind the card is that if you were to draw it late than you still would get value, while if you were to draw it early, then you would always have the exact card you need in the future anyways. Plus, it's a card that allows you to draw specific card, which, like The Curator, can be easily abused (did somebody call for a Deathwing or DOOM!?). Additionally, I put it in a class where card draw is kinda pointless due to Life Tap, so Black Cat's function isn't so much as giving you card advantage but rather the right card. Still, I'm surprised it has gotten so far...

You can find me here! Good luck everyone!
In the final once again! Thanks for the votes.
My Entry for this week's Card Design Competition - Season 8.16:
Wait...
People voted for Vilecat?
It is not even a beast!
I want a new title, but Flux won't let me have one,
Why did my card not make it despite having as many votes as Jade Golem, Azure Whelping and Hatchling?
I know, I really thought I was onto something with my own card, but, apparently not. 1 mana 1/1 is a much tighter design space than you'd think.
This time, my vote's for some cards I think are elegant in simplicity: Vile Cat, Druid of the Night, and Banana Handler.
How the hell did I get third!?
Not that I'm going to complain about though. I find Jade Golem hilarious and also quite clever. I also really like Azure Whelping and Banana Handler.
Click the image to go to my custom Time Traveler class.
Really cool cards. So sad this two didn'd make it... Mad Chemist was my favourite.
I'm voting for Chrominius and Mana Wisp :)
still can't decide if I love or hate Frogg-Saron.

I voted for Banana Handler, Black Cat, and my own card. I'd also have voted for Vilecat if it was actually a beast :P
Why Rogue is my favourite class:
My submission for this week's card design competition.
How the heck did my Black Cat make it?!
Anyways, I'm voting for Vilecat, Banana Handler (changed my mind about this one), and Mana Wisp.
