I feel like Darkforest Ranger should be a Legendary card with that card text. It doesn't make much sense as Rare?
My favorite is Edward the Odd, but I also voted for the Gnoll Trapfinder, Divided Conqueror, and Will of the Wisps. The latter two are probably overpowered and underpowered respectively, but I just like them thematically.
Huzzah, the results are in, and this class came dead last.
Dead last? Dear, you came in fourth out of over 100 initial entries. Seriously, your class is fantastic, and the work you put into it shows. Be proud! =D
No shade to the other competitors of course, but maxlots Summoner is giving me EVERYTHING, and I am SO here for it. I don't know if I've already said, but I was very skeptical at first with how this Invoke mechanic was going to work out, like I was worried that it and the class would be too one-dimensional, but each phase you continue to give really clever and original implementations of it that still feel believably straightforward. And of course the class itself has plenty else unique going for it, like your efforts with 0-cost cards. Special shoutout to your Quest, which I absolutely adore, and that other one super cute card where one of your minions escapes into your deck and you summon some raptors.
The only deck idea I find to be simple yet effective is Sea Witch, all others seem edgy and somewhat clunky or not properly explained.
Really? The Sea Witch is like near the bottom for me exactly because of how clunky and unnecessarily complex it is compared to the other entries. Clearly is has some appeal, but I'm not getting it.
Sorry, McF4rtson. I may not be feeling your class, but I hope you know I still love you. <3

Concern about challenge #6: How will cards like Thoughtsteal be adjudicated? There are a number of cards in the game with effects that are random but that don't actually include the word random. This could potentially be used to get around the restriction, including multiple cards with random effects but just leaving out the word.
I don't think the point is to have only 1 random effect, so I don't think that's an issue. The rule is pretty straightforward with how it's currently written. Unlimited Thoughtsteal-like texts would be allowed.
Yeah, I guess I'm asking what the actual intention or spirit of the challenge is. As it stands, a minion with the text "No cards with 'random' in their card text can be played." would qualify despite obviously not having any random effect. So I'm asking whether that's intended or whether that'd be breaking the spirit of the rule if the spirit is for there to actually be one random effect.

You might be thinking of my Seer, but that thread is useless now since the image links are all broken and I haven't had the wherewithal to update it.

Omg, I can't believe I forgot to comment here. Congrats to McF4rtson on the win! And of course, congrats to all of the other finalists. =D

All of the Shaman spells with random damage ranges like Lightning Storm are also coming to mind now.
It could be argued that, in the case of card draw, it's actually your deck that's random, not the card drawing the card, but yeah, you're not wrong.
