edit: As for the finalists themselves: Incredible weak community choices. Some effects are fine, but have formatting or spelling errors, making me not wanting to vote for them, since that is just as much part of a card design.

 Speaking as somebody who had a formatting error in there card (Truthseeker), it was because when made the card in Heathcards, the second s in Secrets wouldn't be bold, even after using the commands to bolden the card (oddly enough, it showed up bold in the preview). 

In terms of contest right now, some of my personal favorites include Ashroot, Brontes, Lei Shen (i'll admit, I'm a sucker for under used cards), and Felbolt. While I like the idea of Durotan, I feel that having another card in the game that could lead to Burst combos like Force+Roar isn't entirely good for the game.

Disappointing turn out for the most part. I think Master Mathias Shaw is the only one that feels authentic.

Shame about the joke entries though, especially Go Boom!. Y'know, it doesn't seem to meet the requirements for the competition, and it's obviously meant to be retarded, yet there it is anyway. Hrm. Oh well.

Edit: Nevermind; "characters", not "letters". Pfft.

I guess we (or at least most of us) can learn a valuable lesson from this season: If you make a joke submission, put it in the discussion thread only to make sure that it won't take up finalist space. You don't know how many people vote seriously.

Also, there seems to be a problem with the timer. The poll closes in 9 hours (based on the times in the submission thread), yet it says there is 16/17 hours till the contest closes. This needs to be fixed.

And STILL no review of all the finalist cards. I miss those...

Oh dear. It seems that A) The competition timer is wrong, and B) Ashroot seems to have disappeared.

Fel Bolt - No description was given on the submission, so I don't know how the "ignore" thing works. Specifically since you can't target immune enemies, does this mean it ignores the inability to target? Other than that, seems ok

 Let me explain: When you use Fel Bolt on a Force-Tank, it will act as if the Force-Tank doesn't have divine shield and just destroys it. Fel Bolt can also kill the enemy hero if they have a Mal'ganis or an Ice Block, because Fel Bolt ignores the effect. As for armor, think of the following situation: Enemy hero has 1 health and 10 armor. Fel bolt doesn't bring armor down to 3, but actually brings life to 0, and since that's the stat that counts, the enemy hero will be destroyed. 

It's not my card, but just wanted to explain.

Lei Shen - Illegitimate entry as it goes against text conventions - stats are only quoted for uncollectible cards, collectible cards are just named. See Dark Wispers, Light of the Naaru, Mekgineer Thermaplugg, Troggzor the Earthinator. This is somewhat understandable since there are only a few instances of this and that an example given on the submission page had something like "summon a 7/7 Dr. Boom" but it's nonetheless illegitimate.

 Sometimes you are just too smart =O 

Why isn't this person a mod?!

Anyone else sees that the timer for the poll is wrong?

That needs to be fixed...

Could you elaborate on what exactly it wrong with the poll timer? I know that, in my ignorance, everything for this week's competition has started and ended one our early because I neglected to include the effect of Daylight Savings Time on my time difference with UTC, but the difference should not be as drastic as what you say you're experiencing.

 The timer is 6 hours too long. It's supposed to end around 20:00 utc, and it's 15:00 utc here, yet the timer says that there are still 11 hours remaining. Maybe it's just my computer...but should be checked anyway.

There should be a rule where entries that are clearly not within the spirit of the competition are disqualified.

 Like Dr. Broom and Go Boom! ? Yeah that was my first thought too..

Maybe we should post a link on the home page to the finalist polls, because I think less people will find this thread.

Seriously, the top contenders have around 35/36 votes. If we are going to do it like this from here on out, we need to advertise it more with links, because this is a really low amount of voters.

20 Minute Mark! Vote if you haven't already!

Maybe the first post of the submission thread should be edited to also have the link on the finalist day.

10 minute mark!

... and still a disappointing amount of total votes in my opinion. There were cards with more votes in the past.

2 MINUTES LEFT!!
