For people that's opening a lot of packs and paying loads of money, you do know that your chances of winning are still the same like now and before and you'll still get rekt by randomness right? Don't trick yourself into thinking that by opening 200+ packs you'll be able to win more, you'll still get full on rekt +50% of time even with those Death Knight cards and lose. Just trying to state the obvious.

Nope, Ironfur is a beast so no power creep.

 Except no one plays the grizzly for its beast synergy, making HG an effective powercreep. Grizzly is an arena 3-3 taunt. That's it.

I'm not sure if i can vote for either, because i don't like either one. Maiev just seems way too weak and Brutish Rager bothers me because it's hero power can spawn even more Brutish Ragers, if it was a card then it would be a collectible rager too so... yeah it's just really fucked up that it basically has a chance to summon mini Reno that gets you to 20 health right away. I'm just voting for Maiev, because to me it just seems like Brutish Rager has a design flaw.

This could be an intended interaction and i don't know if this is common knowledge already, but it appears if The Dark Wanderer transforms into Ragnaros through Majordomo Executus, he will not be able to become the Cow King. I'm presuming this would happen as well if your opponent somehow got their hands on a Lord Jaraxxus.

Basically what happened was, that i had revealed two of his secrets. He used Mind Games, stealing my Executus. I killed it, turning him into Ragnaros. I could've killed him too, but i kept him alive as i was attempting to go against the Cow King. Later on in the game, the third secret was indeed revealed as well, however, nothing happened. The effect of the secret was activated, however, he did not transform into the Cow King. No Enigmatic Portal appeared, no Twisting Nether? was used. Absolutely nothing. Instead, the game continued normally with him as Ragnaros.

One last thing is, that as shown by the image attachment, the game didn't even record the 3rd secret ever being revealed.

 Welp, now I really have no idea which way to vote. If both players got the card, I would definitely have voted for Dwarven Explorer. Right now, I just don't see a use for it, even in mill decks it's pretty bad.

Most of what needs to said has already been said, but I think the Mechanical Greench could (and should) have simply been worded 'Battlecry: Give your opponent a 'Christmas Spirit' card'. Look at cards like Elite Tauren Chieftain or White Eyes, they don't specify what the token is, and that saves space on the card. If it had been worded like that, I would probably have voted for it. For me, more than 4 lines of text has almost always been instant disqualification.

 It's worded with Curse of Rafaam in mind, as it should be. They made the wording of the curse stupidly long so what can you do.

 Well, in my personal opinion, whoever made the card could have looked at it and thought 'this looks ugly, maybe I'll just deviate from the standard wording a bit.' I'm not saying we shouldn't look at the currently existing cards when thinking about how to word ours, but when the wording is stupidly long and probably unnecessary (since you'll be including the token anyways), exceptions can - and should, at least in my opinion - be made.

Of course, I can see why they worded it like that. I just think it looks unpleasant.

I'm surprised the examples of Mulch, Sap, Freezing Trap, and Vanish weren't given. I think they might have prompted more variety in thinking than just Curse of Rafaam. And that's without getting into cards that just outright have your opponent draw cards like Naturalize, Coldlight Oracle, Grove Tender, and Dancing Swords, though that might not be what you were going for.

 I could have added in Mulch, but the idea was to put a card into only your opponents hand, One of the contestants had asked if their design could put cards into both players hands and I said "no," it has to go into your opponents hand only (and not via draw). 

Ah, well then there goes my theory on the second one putting the Discovered card in both your and your opponent's hand. =P

Holy shit he predicted Brann exactly in the form it is now. That's amazing.

Congratulations, you are now part of the true cancer in hearthstone.

Voting #1 for sure, i don't like the idea of all Hunters and Warriors running around with Tirion Fordring. #1 is much more creative, so despite the errors #1 wins by a landslide. I just don't want to vote for a card that has a chance this huge of discovering a Tirion, and that chance will never disappear in standard. It's already enough every paladin deck is running him, we don't need them running potentially three of them with Control Warriors fucking around with two of them as well. Slap in N'Zoth and fun times are coming.

Allow me to play the world's smallest violin for you.

I'm pretty sure the third one is just too strong. Card draw, especially one where you can choose what to draw, is worth some mana by itself. The naming is pretty amusing though.

Shifter Zerus, Thoughtsteal effects, Doomcaller... countless things could give him a second one.
