A Warm Welcome and a Fond Farewell
Hello, everyone! This has certainly been an interesting Season - we tried out a new schedule for our Big Competition which had upsides and downsides; a brand new Hearthstone Year came upon us, bringing with it a very lore-driven set and the start of a year long story, as well as quite possibly the best solo content we've seen thus far; we tried out a new method of displaying competitions on the front page, bring users directly to them and cutting out the awkward middleman of a newspost; and throughout it all, the elephant in the room for us mods that we couldn't relay to you until recently, Hearthpwn is shutting down.
It has been excruciating behind the scenes, knowing that the fate of the website was up-in-the-air but unable to give you all any information about it. Perhaps when Innkeeper stopped being supported some of you began to suspect something, or maybe when Rise of Shadows released without a compendium and without us updating our card gallery to have high quality art and golden cards. Maybe it was when Hearthstation appeared, with many of us on staff and completely unable to communicate to you as to why it existed. Even now, I don't know anywhere near all the details, and for all I know I shouldn't be telling you guys even this much, but I'm so tired of having had to run the WCDC and CCC like nothing was wrong when for all I knew we wouldn't even make it to the end.
But we did. We made it, and as much of a clusterfuck as it was behind the scenes, you guys went above and beyond as you always do in both coming up with some amazing themes and coming up with equally amazing cards to fulfill them. As is tradition, for the final time (on this site, anyway) it is time to select an overall winner for the Season.
As per usual, we will also have some mini-competitions running alongside this two-week long poll, to keep up some entertaining content as we wind down. I wish you the best of luck in them - remember, you have about a day to submit and a day to vote on a winner for each, so don't think too hard, just go for it!

This is normally the bit where I'd tell you when the next Season will start, but obviously that won't be the case anymore. Good luck to everyone one final time! You can check out the final poll for each winner's theme by clicking on their card below. Vote for your favourites, and I hope we'll see you all very soon.

I had all 9 alt skins the day they released them. I was immediately embarrassed, and this doesn't help.

It's oppressive if you draw the nuts, but secrets mage is more consistent and equally unfair. I prefer dual-quest Weasel Priest :)

I see this deck is listed as the strongest wild deck on hsreplay. I hadn't played wild in a few months, so I gave it a spin to get out of the dumpster ranks. I'm posting because I winstreaked from Rank 16 all the way to Rank 8 which I've never done before and is obviously absurd. Fittingly, I lost to a Renolock who Reno'd at 6 health on turn 6 and played FOUR secret destruction cards, so props there. But this deck is obviously broken in the broken wild format.

High level nerdery going on here... love it.

Challenge #48 Complete!
One-shot the challenge with an insanely lucky draw, with Electra into a 2 cost Bloodlust on 5 lol.
Edit: Forgot to post list.
Challenge #49
Secretkeeping
Format: Any
Class: Paladin, Hunter, or Mage
Make a deck with every card including the word "Secret."

- 2x Spirit of the Dead, - Augmented Elekk; this is just way too ambitious and adds little. You have a million ways to rez the Weasels already.
+ 2x Surrender to Madness (5/5 Weasels!), + Archbishop Benedictus (more Weasels!)
I've been messing around with a non-odd Weasel deck, and these changes up the memery immensely.

I just hit legend with Mecha'Thun Priest (quest variety), and I swear since this deck hit front page NO ONE conceded at the combo. I even tried the "emote tech" to no avail. Love it.

I can't get over the name... Banana Buffoon... whoever thought of that deserves a medal.

No wonder they nerfed Mana Wyrm when and how they did. Turn 1 wrym, this, with or without The Coin and any elemental would have been busted.

Meme combo potential... I like.
