Woops.

Yeah, forgot about that tit-bit.

SOOOO-RRYYYYYYYYYY!

Well, at least I made it to the finals. Gotta polish my design skills a bit more to win though, it seems.

Personally, I really love the Shadow Adept. We saw a lot of Darnassus Aspirant like effects, but this was one of the few that actually had possible synergies with both the Battlecry and Deathrattle. You could combo it with Auchenai Soulpriest to get 6 damage to the hero! You could kill it when you have Holy Champion out to gain bonus attack! You could just be a nice guy and heal your opponent! The possibilities are endless!  A very nicely designed card, good work :)

One mechanic that I saw a lot which could be problematic is the "Do something bad to adjacent minions". For the Felguard it's fine, but I think some people failed to take into account when balancing that the adjacent minions affected will never be more than one. After all, unless you make a mistake, why would you ever put a minion on the other side of it? Just a note for people in the future.

Ugh. It's always the very first entry that wins. Its like lazy bastards come into the thread, check the first box without even looking at the cards, hit submit, and leave. Same thing with Fullas' videos - the first option always wins.

I voted for Felguard Warmonger, since it would be the worst result out of all these to come out of a shredder.

Aside from myself, I vote for Starlight Herald (as it is interesting in itself), and Wildhammer Guard (as it is interesting in Overload).

Knight Trainer: This one would have been my Wild Card if it hadn't made it on its own. It's elegantly simple, it's balanced perfectly realistically alongside card like Novice Engineer and Museum Curator, and I have a personal adoration of cards that blur the lines between classes like this, especially when so thematically fitting given that Paladins are often said to be a "hybrid" concept of Warrior and Priest anyway.

TRIVIA: This is the original card I got my idea from (another card of mine from this thread). I edited it to be the card in the finalist's section for the sake of this competition, by making it a Paladin-only card (from a dual/hybrid Paladin-Warrior class card), reducing its Mana Cost by 1 and Health by 2, and by removing the words "If you're a Paladin/Warrior" and "Discover a Paladin card" and "instead". And by renaming it to Knight Trainer.

Weapons Manufacturer: I'm honestly not quite sure what to think about this card. On the one hand, I think the idea of a card that does something while in your hand but is actually pretty useless to play is interesting. Its cost, unlike that of other cards, is then defined not by paying mana but paying a card slot in your hand. On the other hand, I definitely worry that it's overpowered. Yes, the sorts of decks that would make best use of this card are ones that would rather be playing minions rather than holding onto one, but as long as you have other stuff to play, the cost isn't really felt. I'd like to hear more about this from the creator.

 

Would it have been better is it also emptied a single Mana Crystal at the start of your turn? That way you basically pay 1 Mana each turn to give your minions +1 Attack.

Weapons Manufacturer seems rly unique and cool, but kinda OP, sure it "wastes" u a card, card slot and hand slot, but still it is a buff u dont have to pay mana to activate it and your opponent cannot make it go away, that seems rly strong. The fact that u can have x2 rly seems like it would spiral out of control very quickly.
