Congrats to all the winners!
Congratulations to the finalists and the winner! Been a great competition, looking forward for next season to begin.
Oh, and I'm glad that Ben Brode has eyes on us (even if occasionally). Despite the fact that sometimes the designs aren't realistic, the concepts and sheer creativity coming out of this community can really be a good source of inspiration, in my opinion.
Spend a single turn removing enemy board full of Deathrattle minions, basically half or more of them come back to life. We need more cards like Exorcism in the actual game, since the "anti-Deathrattle" cards are very poor.

Other than Naughty List Enforcer ,I also like Ancient Guardian and Mysterious Walker.
Oh man, that's was REALLY unexpected!!!
Thanks to everyone who voted for my card and, once again, congratulations to all the finalists!
I just want to say a few things about the idea behind Exorcism. Some people said it should have been something like a conditional silence. Well, the idea behind the card was that it would deal with deathrattle only. A conditional silence in the way that was suggested by McF4rtson could still silence other things like divine shield, taunt and buffs. That would be no different than a regular silence and I agree with the game designers who once said that silence is just an easy way to deal with something. Players should be incentivized to find the best ways possible to deal with a given problem instead of simply casting a spell as soon as your turn begins.
With that in my mind, I do believe 2 damage is the right amount for that card. As I said in a previous post, cards with the "if that kills it" condition should do little damage or else the condition would simply trigger all the time. Also, dealing 3 damage would make it as powerful as Frostbolt, and that's exactly what I wanted to avoid. As nurgling13 quite wisely said, direct damage is Mage's thing, and there should never be a Priest card (or any other class, for that matter - just look at Darkbomb) that is directly comparable to Frostbolt. Moreover, if 2 damage is not enough to kill something right away, you can use a minion to do the initial damage and finish with Exorcism. Priest minions usually have high health and it's likely that your minion could deal the initial damage and survive, while the opponent's minion would die with its deathrattle exorcised =)
Anyway, that's what I was going for when I designed the card. I'm glad that many people liked it and I also appreciate the criticisms. Thanks again, all of you!
PS. Kinda cool to think that Ben Brode actually saw our cards!
I lthink Mysterious Walker should at least be a 5/5 to compensate for the drawback.
Custom cards :
CLASSES : Alchemist (CCC#5 | Phase V) | Chef (CCC#4)
EXPANSIONS : Year of the Scorpion (Year Comp)
Well, he probably doesn't want to be influencing our competitions by playing favorites.

Two of three cards I voted actually won. I feel so mainstream. ;)
Congrats to Flavio! And hanks to everyone who voted :)
Balancing busted cards version 1.0.
Why do the Epic cards always win. And why did Exorcism have to be DAMN EPIC!? (Yes, I have a peeve for unreasonably Epic cards, and Exorcism is one in my book.
