Tempted Summoner

Siddle the Summoner

Singularity

Some of these r actually not bad - saying with my distaste for hand/deck attacks - so good job :)

I voted for Lybell because she could make discardlock viable...maybe. 

See the Future is broken af though. I voted for Tempted Summoner, Siddle the Summoner, Assault Catapult, Delin the Ageless, Twilight Canticle, Lybell the Vengeance, and Nightwalker Orc. I thought each of these cards were designed in a way that was fair, simple enough to understand, balanced, and could be printed as a real card. Although cards like Singularity are really cool, they have so many steps and conditions it would never see print. And although Thanos is a great card (thematically to) the lack of spellstones in the game could never warrant this card to be played more or less printed. 

I voted for Siddle the summoner (although silence makes it a bit op). Assault catapult for it's flavor, same for than-05. My favourites are Defin the Ageless as a type of tech-card, although maybe hand should also be added for it to be a really good tech-card. Twilight Cantacle is also a favourite, really like the deck-design options you can have with that card. 

24 unique tokens lol

Lybell is my top pick.  At 2/2 and 4 mana, she's respectably balanced but still has a very potent effect.  I could see her being printed for real.

Tempted Summoner was a very close second.  Again, it's a reasonably balanced card that could see print.  Its costing is decent.  The tokens also are reasonable for the cost of a card at the end of the turn. 

Delin the Ageless is the ultimate counter to generated resource decks and is just niche enough that it could be considered okay on balance.

Erase Memory wins my 'busted as fuck' award for this competition, so it doesn't get my vote.  Scouting 3 cards out of your opponent's deck and you get turf one?  Way, way, WAY too strong.

I think Lybell's got this one. I'm just happy to have made the finals twice in a row!

This one was tight! Was hoping to see "Never Say Nether" here as I loved the flavour of that card! But I gotta vote for Lybell. I think we already have a winner! 

Siddle the Summoner is something I would like to see in Hearthstone for sure. Voted also for Twighlight Canticle, Erase Memory, and Nightwalker Orc. Erase memory might be undercosted a bit for what it does though.

Why is tempted the summoner with only 10 upvotes in the finalists?

And Purification only has 5.

Because upvotes are not the only thing that matters to get to finals. You can read it in the first post of the submission topic ... or here:

Because upvotes are not the only thing that matters to get to finals. You can read it in the first post of the submission topic ... or here:

How do we determine the qualifying finalists? First, we'll pull up-vote data from each submission using the formula detailed below:

( ab ) / ( c ) = x

Where,
a = The total number of submissions on the same page as the submission.
b = The total number of up-votes that the submission received.
c = The total number of up-votes on the same page as the submission.
x = The submission's final score.

The formula basically measures which cards stood out the most, with the necessary assumption that each page is about equal in overall submission quality. It will be the entries that receive the highest final scores that move on to the Final Phase.

 The formula I think needs a little tweaking no? If your submission unluckily happens to be on a same page of a very popular submission, value of C goes all the way up and x will go down drastically. Value of a doesn't really matter unless you're on the last page, which makes it even worse because value of ab will drop then. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Feel free to suggest a better way, but this is the best way of evaluating submissions within this forum's capabiliies, we have tried a couple different ways and this one seems to be the best. Albeit yes, it is not 100% fair in every single situation, but it is in most, which couldnt be said about the other approaches.

Why would I give you the answer... for free?  Here's a hint - submissions on the first few pages and on the top of every page usually get the most views - so come out with a formula to cut down the skewness. Score value for each submission should be majorly composed of the total upvotes submitted by the community and not forcibly multiplied or divided by a nonsensical large value unless there is an inherent biasness apparent in the forum viewing system itself. I practically gave you the answer.

I think we end our discussion here, for both our sakes, with this attitude.
