Hearthpwn

Didn't we do this already ages ago? Before it was an official mechanic?

Yes that means it only brings out additional copies that are still left in your deck so it's unlikely to pull out any Legendaries and the longer the game goes, the more minions die but also the more minions you draw both copies of.

Yes the skill cap for designing HS cards is very low. You just have to word it/format it correctly/consistently and choose art that doesn't look garbage.

Aaaaaaand the token spam won, I thought we were past that -_-

I can't believe no one sees a balance issue with Selective Harvest. It's literally Computer Search. You can actually just search your deck for any card you want AND gain information about what's left in your deck as a bonus.

 We've already discusssed this to death in another thread. You can search your deck for any card, but that means potentially giving up a ton of cards from your deck. Every time you don't get the card you want there's a trade-off between discarding a card you might need later and getting the card you need now. How much that trade-off is worth is up for debate, but I don't feel like debating it any more.

 Unless you go to fatigue, you're simply viewing the bottom cards of your deck. You're actually GAINING information not losing any cards.

 We've had this exact debate before, and I don't really want to do it again. It's exhausting.

 I wasn't there, and if you think I'm wrong then whoever tried to convince you last time sucked so I'm not surprised it was exhausting. There's actually not much to it.

If you really want to debate it, go look up the previous debate. I'm pretty sure it was just in the Final Poll for that week. I don't want to type all that out again.

 What is there to type? This is all it is; the ONLY time those discarded cards matter is if you go to fatigue. Otherwise, you can just treat the discarded cards as the cards at the bottom of your deck.

But you can't just say as a blanket statement that the discarded cards don't matter.  They just don't matter at that moment.  Let's say you are up against an aggro deck and you really need to clear the board.  Selective Harvest will find a swipe or starfall for you, but you may discard fandral or ultimate infestation or something.  True, those cards are useless when you need a board clear to survive but once you clear the board you may regret having lost them.  Or lets say you are playing ramp druid.  You play selective harvest on turn 3 hoping to find ramp cards but you draw one of your big minions like Y'Shaarj or Deathwing.  They are useless to you on turn 3 but discarding him now means you won't be able to play him later.  

The card was intended to provide meaningful choices.  You need to weigh your immediate needs against what you think you will need later in the game.  In many cases, the immediate need will be more important and I agree that it is a strong card because of that.  But its not without downsides and could easily be misplayed.  If you are lucky, the discarded cards won't matter.  That's the hope.  But I don't see how you can say that they will never matter in any situation unless you go to fatigue.

That being said, as nurgling mentioned this was debated to death during the weekly competition.  Its silly to turn this into an extended rehash of that debate, especially when (a) I imagine nearly everyone who intends to vote has already done so and (b) Selective Harvest isn't likely to win anyway.  As I've said before, I appreciate everyone who has supported the card.  For those that don't, there are 19 other excellent choices to vote for.

...also that one has Flying which makes a huge difference to its stat line balance lol although I guess every minion in Hearthstone has Flying (during its owner's turn) and Taunt is just Reach xD

How the hell is a strictly weaker River Crocolisk/Bloodfen Raptor in the finals rofl

Voted for Titanium Titan because it's literally the card I made when I saw the theme so I'll feel like I won if it wins lol

Mainly for Divine Spirit Priest but also for buff decks in general
