HearthPwn Card Design Competition Season 8 Finale
We've made it through another 20 21 weeks of Weekly Card Design Competitions, and you know what that means. Or maybe you don't; you could be new to the scene and have no idea what I'm talking about, wondering when I'm going to stop prattling on and get to the point. Well you passive-aggressive, theoretical reader, maybe...I...will. Every winner from this Season has come together in this Final Final Poll, and it's up to you to tell us your favorite(s). Twenty-one will enter, but only one can win...unless they tie.
Who will be the Champion...of...(dramatic pause)...Season...(wait for it)...8...?
Season 9
Season 9 will start in January, and the next Big Comp will occur around then as well. After the crazy-huge adventure that was making an entire Hearthstone Year, odds are very good we will scale back toward something more simple (like another class comp). We don't have it nailed down just yet, so you'll just have to remain in suspense until then.
If you would like to voice your opinion regarding how Season 8 went, the Feedback thread is available here.
The Season 8 Finalists
Take note that some of the finalists will have extra cards as part of their submission, whether because the competition required more than one card to enter, or because they had tokens as part of their card. All these extra cards can be viewed in the finalists voting topic.
If you're interested, you can click on each card down below to visit the original thread where each card was declared a winner for that week's competition to see what they were up against.

Out of curiosity, how many of these came from the first page of submissions in their respective contests?
You know you could have accumulated the information yourself...that being said, I took the time to do it for you :P
One of those was the last page of their respective competition.
Were there any Wildcards that ever won?
Thanks! That's a lot more balanced than I would have guessed. That being said, it you don't get your submission in early, your odds go down a lot. Thanks again for taking the time to look everything up.
"Were there any Wildcards that ever won?" No...at least, not this Season. It might occur more often if we had more Wild Cards, but most theme-makers don't want to/don't think of it/don't remember to tell us.
As for Pharune's remark about getting in Submissions early...that doesn't necessarily equate. These are merely where the winners fell, not where all the finalists were located. That information would better tell you when to submit, if it mattered.
Even if this is shooting my foot a little bit, I actually think it's easier to make it to the finals if you post late.
Generally speaking, people with good ideas tend to submit them earlier, so if you submit on Monday, you'll probably be competing with cards with lower quality, in general.
The only exception to this is CheeseEtc, who is one of the best designers (if not the best) and usually submits late.
Thanks :3
Ah the Sandworm, such a great quote.
agreed. that rogue quest would never see play since the upgraded hero power only has it‘s real value in the early game.
some of the eggs are nice tho.
That is not a Rogue Quest, that is a neutral quest. The theme was to make a neutral spell. Click on the cards to get to the respective weeks final poll.
He's just listening to hell out of you.
For a season finale, there's a good number of unbalanced/uninspired cards in here.
These are the winners of each individual week, so enough people must have believed them to be decently-balanced and/or creatively-inspired *shrugs*
Some cards, unfortunately, might also suffer from lacking context: we do not list where they came from - although you may click on each of them to find out - so at a glance, it might not be clear why they exist like that.
That Overgrown Egg is boss!
Quite a few eggs this season...
You actually can.
Why can't we vote for more than one card, there are really some cool cool ideas behind the art and the effects. FeelsBadMan
I wrote and posted a front-page article without my knowledge lol
Spooky!
A lot of great concepts, but everyone who doesn't vote for Good Listener is just wrong by default.
