I'm all in for Savage Knuckleblade and Foolish Burial. Very well balanced and will definitely fit in soem of existing decks and also will enable cool new decks. I wish these two cards will be in game. Especially Foolish Burial - the ability to make your deck thinner is rarely seen as powerful, but it is.
Other cards are kinda overpowered. In every weekly design competition more than half of cards are overpowered. Look at the current meta - one unbalanced card (Ultimate Infestation) allowed Druids to dominate against all other classes. It shows that balancing a card can be really difficult.
Dammit, I was SO GODDAMN CLOSE!!! I'm willing to bet that I was 22nd. My card was on the same page as Zukuu's and there were some moments where I actually overtook him, then he overtook me back.
Well, I got that out of my system. Now to look closer at the cards to determine who I will vote for.
I feel you. I was the number one with 3-4 votes for one and half day.
And then coverage appeared, and my card was litterally demolished votewise.
This is the first time i've missed the final polls twice in a row ;-;
(Its not that i'm mad that we got front page coverage, i'm actually super happy about it. But i honestly feel cheated this week :/ )
Foolish Burial. Lots of flavor in this but it's kind of useless since "remove from deck" does not actually count as discard. If you want to thin your deck just put some card draw in it.
I think you might have misunderstood the effect. First you Discover a copy of a card in your deck - no card gets removed from your deck - which is added to your hand. Then you discard that card.
So if you were to pick Silverware Golem, for example, its effect would activate and it would summon itself. I wanted to translate the idea of Foolish Burial as best I could into Hearthstone, and I figured the best way to do that would be to make it trigger Discard synergies, and add cards to your Discarded pool (for Lakkari Sacrifice and Cruel Dinomancer). This is similar to how Foolish Burial would be used in a Zombie or Lightsworn deck.
CG to all the finalists, i didnt participate this week, nor will i comment on the cards, since i dont know their origins (even tho they r in the spoiler) so i dont feel like i would give a competent feedback, some nice effects in there tho, so good luck to u all ;-)
First time making it to the finals, and I haven't made a submission in quite some time. Feels cool to have my creation be among other great submissions.
Black illusion Ritual is sweet. I have a feeling it will win and good for it cause Dr_Scaphandre worked with others to actually make it balanced.
I wanna shout out to Dark Angel Olivia and Yu-jo Friendship as well though. Dark Angel Olivia because the implementation of the evolve was well done, and the art on "dark blessings" is nice.
Yu-Jo Friendship because its gotten a few giggles out of me. When I see it, I think of this.
I'd like to thank you all that made this possible, I'm so flattered that my card did get to the final poll. Especially with all the incredible entries people made!
I was a little afraid of this week since I figured most of the voting would come down to whole appealed to the most fans. But turns out there are a lot of quality cards this time around. Still, only two get my vote.
Black Illusion ritual: Is my absolute favorite. A creative quest with fantastic flavor, new effect, and just overall fun. (I personally get tons of pleasure from destroying my own minions.) The only issue is the reward is HARD countered by silence.
Pokeball: Good flavor overall, it fits priest, and its fun to use. But I fear it might be too good since Priest allready has so many ways to get minions off the board. Still I gotta commend this card.
Honorable mentions: Yu'Jo Friendship: I LOVE this card. But it's ruined by the fact that its 10 mana. Your opponent could just be a jerk and not emote back making you waist your turn. I think it should be zero mana since it requires consent from both sides to trigger.I just cant see a tune when you want to play this at 10 mana. Your opponent is always at an advantage since they dont need to do anything to get it's effect. I adore the flavor though, and at zero mana, it would have my vote for sure.

Thanks for those words, but don't let the fact Silence hardcounters it be a turnoff for you. For playing a normal game of destructive Zoo, you get a 3 mana Execute that also leaves a body on the board. Relinquished can kill big scary minions for you, or pop your eggs for you. And need I remind you it's a Demon so it combos with Demon synergies, like Sacrifical Pact, and Bloodreaver Gul'dan.
"Frazzled Editor" al the way. The Joke editions of MTG were always the best.
I should have submitted a card inspired in this one:
First to emote, loses the game!
Joke cards are all fun and all, and Editor was well made, but looking close at it, it's not a very good card. All it does is give you some intel and the ability to ruin some combos. Against Quest mage and DK Priest you'll flat out win, but against everything else you'll waste a turn. Not to mention the card is a Neutral Legendary Spell, something that can't exist.

Cant is a little bit too finite i think, doesnt exist? yup ... cant? Not so sure :)

"Science isn't about why! Its about why not!"
Pokeball is really cool. Basically an upgraded Mortal Coil, excellent for dealing with Divine Shield and Deathrattle.
