Behold, foolish interlopers! I am commanding this mortal to spread the will of the Scourge throughout the interwebs, encouraging you to seek out me, Archlich Kel'Thuzad! Now coming to you as the tenth class of Hearthstone!
I am a finalist in this Class Creation Competition, so if you could give it a look I would be greatly appreciative <3
The Final Poll has not been consistently on time in several weeks, so on behalf of the mods I again want to apologize for this fact. Season 8 is very nearly over, so - hopefully - we can address this issue such-that it will no longer be a problem come next Season in January.
To close things out, I do have one final thing to address. Because I pushed back DestroyerR's week to fit in a Halloween theme, I accidentally created a problem: we're juggling too many winners. To fix this, RazorofArtorias will be the closer for Season 8 with the 21st theme, starting tomorrow. As it is a run-off/extra week to clean house, the winner of 8.21 will NOT get to choose a future theme. You can still earn yourself a winner's banner if you don't already have one, but the chain-reaction has to stop somewhere :/ This works out just fine in terms of scheduling, as after Mini Comps we usually have a dead week anyway before proper vacations begin.
The winner of the Overkill theme will still get one like normal, and Season 9 will begin with last week's winner: my fellow mod ThisOtherGuyTox.

In regards to the finalists, I like that most of the entries I voted for made it to the end: Cheese, Demon, Wailor, Scuba, and Progenitor all made it. Unfortunately for you guys, I also made it, so none of you will be receiving a follow-up vote from me lol :P
Regardless, good luck to everyone!
Edit: I knew I missed something: I forgot to include CheeseEtc's Mindbender token D: My bad!

Card Design ChampionMaybe have the poll start on a different day? You did say that Tuesdays were especially vulnerable, and the dead days after a season ends would be a perfect time to implement such a change.
On another note, lots of submissions this week. Some are solid, others not so much, but that's what you get with so many finalists. I also think it's interesting that the top 2 cards are both Soulpriest interactions, though I went for Gonk's Chosen, Wardruid Loti (Feral Druid FTW), and Excessive Violence (objectively the best card ever made), with honorable mentions to Shadow Mend and Alleria of the Void.
Overkrill for the win.

Card Design ChampionI'm not sure how Twist of Fate's Overkill effect would work. Once you kill your hero, won't the game end immediately? The effect of setting your hero's health to 40 won't even trigger.
its the heals overkill... so if you heal less than 15 you get to 40 hp
Has it been confirmed Overkill works on heals like that? Over healing feels like a different thing.

Card Design ChampionI like the idea behind shadow mend, those card who need a special condition to trigger are cool. The same way, inspiring champion is cool because it needs to be buffed.
I also like the flavor behind Abandon ship! , purging flame and overkrill.
All the cards can potentialy win but those 5 are the best for me.
Love the tribes.
liked and voted for Overcharged Bolt
also liked designs of Purging Flame, Shadow Mend, Abandon Ship and Gonk's Chosen
Memedeck-seeker. Always tries to build new decks. Hates tournements, streamers, netdecks and poor-o players.
ah, but a tournement mode could be great !!!
Well, since Overkill works only on minions, this would not work at all (but given the lack of knowledge about how the keyword works when the comp started, it was decided that we let it slide); that being said if it did work, it would be pretty busted. Very easy way to get 40 hp. I suppose in the world of "destroy your hero", it might not seem as powerful, but dunno.
Anyway, most of the finalists r actually very good, im super happy about that. Only one card with Classic watermark ahaha, phew .. too bad tho, that one is actually very cool too.
GL to all :)

Card Design ChampionTo bring some precisions if anyone wonder, here is what blizzard officialy said about overkill:

Card Design ChampionSorry, I still don't get it - what do you mean by it heals the overkill?
My understanding of the card is that the Overkill effect could only ever trigger if you have Auchenai Soulpriest or Embrace the Shadow active, and your hero has less than 15 Health. So you heal your hero, the card Overkills your hero, and then the effect supposedly would trigger and set your hero's Health to 40 instead.
My point is that this would not work since your hero would be dead, and the game will be over, before the Overkill effect triggers.
(This is leaving aside the latest clarification that Overkill would only work on minions anyway - I'm questioning whether it would work even if Overkill could work on heroes)

Card Design Champion@livesage
I was understanding the same for the way it works. You need auchenai or something that turn heal into damage and then overkill apply. It simply can not trigger just by healing.
That said, if we consider the fact that overkill can kill a hero (who is not the case), it would trigger after the death of the hero. Your hero can have a negative amount of life, if the healing effect that trigger after put the hero at more than 0 hp, the hero is still alive. (that also works with minions). So it would works in that case. Here is a concrete exemple of resurection (start at 4:20):

Adventurer ExtraordinaireYou can vote more than one option, in case you didn't know ·3·
I agree. I don't like it. It's not intuitive.
I just love Overcharged Bolt. Simple, elegant, card flavour on point, but with a clever twist. Perfection!
Lots of excellent designs this time around. My votes for cards good enough to see play that aren't broken: Extortionist's Blade, Abandon Ship!, Overcharged Bolt, Purging Flame, Inspiring Champion, Gonk's Chosen, Gutspiller, & Wardruid Loti.
Honorable Mention: Overkrill. Balanced card on its own, but it would make Deathstalker Rexxar too powerful. Fun stuff though.
