 Wow, four cards from page 2.

That's a buttload of cards this time. Seems a bit overwhelming.

By the way, if I'm not mistaken, it's 23 cards, not 22 :)

Hello there!

Phoenixfeather, a professional Grammar Nazi here today!

For this competition, the only requirement needed to receive my vote is to have 100% proper grammar. Not that my own skills are not perfect, but it's pretty up there. Ok, every card who had proper grammar is listed below.

• • Sadomummychist
  • Communing Mediums
  • Piloted Scarecrow
  • Jack O'Brothers
  • Infiltrator Ick'thys
  • Black Cat
  • Lord Stal
  • Prince Tenris
  • Corpse Bride
  • Soulbound Acolyte
  • Spectral Seeker
  • Blood Mage

   Well, it looks like 52% of you passed...  (You disagree? PM me!)

• My favorite card is Spectral Seeker. It's balanced and self-synnergistic, fairly rated in rarity, and a great original concept.

• So, here's a cookie for you StegosaurusRex. (I'd give you two votes if I could)

  

Cards I'd vote for if I didn't vote for myself:

Sadomummychist - I already saw a similar card before but the execution for this one is much better. Likely future winner.

Prince Tenris - I was skeptical at first but the effect seems to be rightly balanced. Only Mages, Hunters and Warlocks can benefit from this anyway and for the latter it's a mere drawback nullifier. The drawback of having no 1-Cost stuff seems fair. EDIT: Nevermind, I just forgot Shadowreaper Anduin was a thing. This card would break the game.

All three Wild Cards - IIRC I voted for all of them during the first phase. They all have a very original take on the lifesteal keyword. Spectral Seeker lacks a Beast tag though. With 5 new mods I knew this final phase was going to be a wild card fiesta.

Honorable Mentions

Swamp Geist - The effect is good but the art is fucking terrible.

Lord Stal - I liked it during the first phase but ultimately it's just double Unearthed Raptor, so it looks dull compared to all those other cards.

BTW where was the 1mana 2/3 "Lifestal. This heals the enemy hero instead"? I remember seeing it on the discussion thread and I really liked it.

How does my card not have proper grammar?

Btw, how do Wild Cards work now? Does every mod get one? I always thought it you could only have 1, chosen by the competition creator.

There is something wrong in your signature, yours should be a 4/3 mech instead or 4/2. ;D

 

 

BTW, I'm happy to see my design here in the final poll.

@StegosaurusRex: And I shall take your acknowledgement of my compliment of your card into my heart of hearts.

@LockNeko: I thought this was one of the coolest Edwin VanCleef and balanced variations out there; And would have gotten another of my double votes if it wasn't for the small period after the word lifesteal. 

@Zukuu Black Pawn Of course anything is arguable.

Also, we currently are allowing a maximum of three wildcards from us mods, and a fourth from the theme creator. Through this process, everyone except the theme creator and us mods are eligible for wildcard status. If there are more than three mods who wish to suggest a wildcard, then - according to Linkblade91 - will have a knife fight to determine who gets to take a spot.

 We've discussed it, and will continue to do so when/if it becomes a problem. I wouldn't necessarily expect 3-4 Wild Cards to be common-place, seeing as how the same scenarios from before can still occur (overlapping choices, WCs that were going to be Finalists anyway, etc.).
