May i ask why i wasen't in the final polls?

I had more upvotes than Free the Trees on page 2.

Incase you say that my card diden't qualify. The creator of the theme said (a) counted as (one). The card costed 1, the name was One of a Kind, and one (a) makes three in total.

How am i soppused to know it's not allowed to use (a), if the creator says so. And furthermore anywhere on the card also includes the name.

I diden't even get a notice. Nor an action that tells me the card does not fit the theme, like several other cards did.

This week's theme was interesting and many ppl went a little bit overboard (myself included :D), anyway CG to all the finalists!

• Rain of Fire (4/5): Looks like a very solid card for discardlock, it could become a bit of a problem in some situations and generate an insane value, but i suppose in an average scenario, this card looks reasonable.
• Egg-splosion (1/5): I dont like this card for so many reasons :p But hey, get a point for good meme :)
• Free the Trees (4/5): I like this card a lot, good design, tho it might be a bit too much value for a token druid.
• Born from Blood (3/5): I feel like this card isnt so much a ping as it is a combo card, could definitely give u some crazy minions for cheaps, not sure i like that very much.
• Sacred Texts (3/5): This card is pretty cool and has nice flavor goin for it, tho i feel like its pretty weak, in most cases it will be just +1/+1 for one minion im afraid. I suppose it wouldnt be too hard to make it at least a +2/+2 rather consistently, if u made the effort during deck building, but i feel like thats the best u would get most of the time. Overall it doesnt seem like its worth a card slot. Cool card nevertheless.
• Minimal Infestation (1/5): One point for the meme :p Obviously not balanced (guess thats the point lol :p).
• Ancient Knowledge (2/5): I rly want to like this card, but pretty much any card u get from it is broken AF, even with the (1) cost increase.
• Corpse Explosion (4/5): Feels like it should be at 4-cost, other than that looks fine.
• Starsurge (4/5): I liked this card when i first saw it, seems rly cool, tho again, might be a bit too OP for any kind of aggro/token druid, since they r guaranteed to get 7 face dmg from hand on T7 and plan for that.

Whoever has made Free the Trees is stupid and should be ashamed of himself.

Rain of Fire ftw

Due to late warning, One of a Kind should have been qualified. There isn't anything about it in competition rules so it feels really unfair.

The rules which were written down were as follows:

• Your card must be a spell
• Your card must contain at least 3 of the same number on the card
• The number can be numeric (1, 2, 3 etc.) or alphabetic (one, two, three etc.)

From the above, I think it's completely reasonable for someone to assume that numbers in the cards title are allowed. It's pretty clear; The rules do not specify in anyway where the numbers can occur. If I had my time again, I might have banned numbers in the title but it simply didn't occur to me. But that's beside the point. The card was valid.

The card isn't valid. ShadowsOfSense has told us what he intended by the rules. If you didn't consider the case of numbers in the title, but ShadowsOfSense did, and you didn't bring it up, then it's disallowed by the rules. He's the mod. Anyway, the rules should never be set in stone on a 'everything that isn't specifically banned is ok' basis. That's a terrible way to run a competition.

Do you know when we will begin to get front page coverage again?

My Meme cards are suffering, since the plebs won't see them :/

Rain of Fire!!! Normally I vote 2 or 3 cards, now only 1. Great concept very much needed for discardlock!!

I guess i will have to make my cards crystal clear in the future.

I think i will only vote for Starsurge. It's a really cool mechanic. I might also vote for Ultimate Infeastation for meme purposes.

I don't really get the hype for Rain of Fire. People would hate to play against this card if Discolock became viable. I mean. Look at every single other infinte Value or near infinte value card that have been viable so far.
