Holy crap so much salt because of a troll entry... maybe the mods should start adding special mentions for these kind of cards? They don't win a thing, but at least they show up.

Either ban them altogether or make them show up as "Joker card of the week", because it becomes kinda pointless when a troll card collects most of the votes in its page...

I upvoted for it because it was funny but knew it would be disqualified. The mods politely told the guy it didn't adhere to the rules well before closing, maybe they should just remove them altogether instead of just leaving on the page with a warning if this is going to be the reaction.

If troll posts are rewarded, we will see a lot more of them clogging up the contest.

Edited because I'm a moron:

Not that it matters much at this point, but I made a deck to illustrate how OP Greed is:

Just wait until you get Greed and one Gadgetzan Auctioneer, or 1 or 2 charge minions and your vanishes and shadowsteps. Then you auto-win. The other huge benefit and lose at the end of turn cards would suffer from similar problems.

Just wait until you get Greed and one of Archmage Antonidas, Gadgetzan Auctioneer, or Malygos in hand. Then you auto-win. The other huge benefit and lose at the end of turn cards would suffer from similar problems.

 Well, Greed is a Rogue card.

 Maybe a parallel funniest card poll that's just for shits and giggles?

 The mods leave cards there with a warning because they give you a chance to modify them to fit the rules. At least they do in some cases.

 I believe they added a new rule recently about troll cards, they let them be but they can't make it to the finals for obvious reasons. That's why I said about making a special mention about the "joker" card of the week.

The mods didn't have it coming. There was nothing wrong with Wight Girl mechanically or rule-wise. I didn't like the design personally, but it was not a troll card. Whether it's a troll card or not has nothing to do with how good your joke is (Again, I don't think that Wight Girl was that great a joke). As the mods have said again and again, humorous or parody entries are NOT the same as troll cards. That's why Optimist Ogre wasn't disqualified, despite some calls for it (note that, unlike Captain Obvious, it met that week's requirements). Very few cards have actually been disqualified as troll cards. Captain Obvious is not a victim of discrimination. It didn't meet the rules of the contest, since it did not create a way to make you lose the game. An example of an actual troll card is the Rope Giant from the Giants competition. It had poor wording, a questionable effect, and art that was intentionally terrible (it was a rope with arms and a face drawn on poorly with Paint or something). Another example of a troll card was in the week with the Discard theme, someone made like a Chuck Norris card that just had the text "Dis Card is awesome". Again, that didn't meet the rules of the competition since it had nothing to do with discards. The card creator was intentionally trying to subvert the contest's rules.

@DoubleSummon

Thanks for the comments. In my defence, there are arcane missiles, arcane explosion, flamewakers when playing this against Tempo Mage.

Against Paladin, there are squires and muster for battles.

In general against other decks, there are Knife Jugglers, haunted creeps.

I think the card is pretty good against some decks like Control Warrior and Handlocks, because you can overwhelm them and not fearing board removal. Of course like you said, theres a chance they silence the dreadsteed. But i would see this as a faster dreadsteed deck with a repercussion. ( I doubt most warriors run silence as well)

On a side note, i really like Doom Seer and Vaelastras as well. More of Doom seer as you can control the situation. Dies to BGH.

Vaelastras is less within your control. I think the draw two cards will become a liability if they dont impact your play as much as you want and you cant control when the 3rd card is drawn. I mean you could very well draw the 3rd Card Immediately after drawing the first Burning Adrenaline

Are you seriously trying to tell me that this was a serious entry? Do you really think this could ever be a real Hearthstone card?

WTF.

I think something you touched upon is endemic to the rule having such a game breaking drawback. The obvious reaction to something that immediately causes you to lose the game is it needs to have at least somewhat of a reciprocally powerful upside.
