Hello, folks! Note that we're going to keep this discussion topic open, but if you have any comments on the current phase, including the polls, please make those in the polls themselves. We decided to keep the discussion topic open because we know some of you have already started discussing future phases, and we don't want to force that conversation to end but we also don't want it in the poll topics.

If I *finally* get the feedback on my legendaries, can I swap them granted I am not in the poll #1? (So nobody will notice it unless I tell them).

Man, I wish I was in the other poll. I have to go against DKPaladin... He's gonna bring up the average vote.

 Right? Was hoping for a spot in the other one too :D

 You would rather be against Pokemaster? :D

That's not how it works. We're not taking the percentage of total cast votes that your entry received. We're taking the percentage of voters that voted for you. Like... if we were having two polls each with two entries and were going to take the top two entries, and in the first poll the entries scored 50% and 60% and in the second poll the entries scored 70% and 80%, we'd only take forward the two from the second poll. We can do this because voters don't have to pick just one entry to vote for and are allowed to vote for all of the entries that they like.

Think of one of our WCDCs where you liked and voted for a ton of the entries versus one where you only liked and voted for a couple. If this ends up like that and, for example, the first poll gets tons of higher-percentage votes and the second poll gets tons of lower-percentage votes, it's very possible that we'll end up taking more entries forward from the first poll than from the second poll.

Total side note, out of nowhere I was hit today as if by divine inspiration with an idea for my GvG legendary if I make it that far.

There's a reason the photos always come out blurry.

In a lot of other classes it might be horridly OP, but Agent has like nothing for significant attack buffs.

 That's probably a bit too powerful at 4 mana. A little too easy to keep casting it every other turn. I think more balanced and more flavorful would be if it was shuffled into your deck instead of returned to your hand. It disappeared and no one knows when it will be spotted again! Also, it may need to be reworded so it doesn't get bounced before it attacks. When does the Stealth loss actually happen?

I'm not sure quite what the point would be, and indeed I worry that it'd only clutter the already long poll topics. This isn't like the WCDCs where if we don't include tokens in the poll topic those entries are just entirely out of luck. All of the entries here link directly to your submission posts, so anybody with any interesting in your tokens can easily look them up. And I say this personally, by the way, as somebody whose Hero Power produces a token (one that is in no way described in the Hero Power's text) and who also has an example card that produces a token. Indeed, almost everybody has something in their hero power or example cards producing tokens or using some new keyword not explained in the poll topic. =P

 This card alone kill every single Midrange deck in the game. You don't play it every other turn, you play it EVERY turn (because you attack with it => it goes to your hand => you replay it). A Midrange deck can't take advantage of you replaying her every turn because they themselves play 1 minion per turn and nearly always that minion dies to Nessie.

It's not that I want her to be a big minion for not a lot of stats. That's not the driving concept. The driving concept is that she's a big minion that disappears after she loses Stealth. That's why she's so difficult to take non-blurry photos of. XD

It just happened that, with that concept, I thought it was a big enough drawback I could make her low-cost for her stats, especially since Agent doesn't have much of anything in the way of attack buffs. I just didn't consider how badly it'd absolutely screw mid-range tempo decks to an admittedly unreasonable degree.

I want to avoid shuffling back into the deck, because that's too similar to Malorne, and I also wasn't going to use Cover Up because my Classic legendary already uses that and, like I said before, the Druid, Rogue, and Shaman actually only each have one legendary that uses their class exclusive keyword. So, returning to hand seemed like the best and most interesting option.

And no, the only way to kill (or interact with in any way) a Covered Up minion is for your board to be full and for it to thus get destroyed when it tries to pop back in. Covered Up game elements are effectively removed from the game.

Anyway, I'm working on Poll #2 right now and have received your fixed image, so no worries. =)
