Into the Shadows: Seeing Double?
Hello again people! You guys seemed to like my previous WCDC spotlight, so I am doing it again. I am going to be trying to crunch these in before the end of the season. I decided to skip the treasure for now because I have no experience in those. Sorry for that, but I don't have any ideas how to review them. Instead, you get to see some copying cards. I chose this comp, so I really want to share some cards that fell under the radar that I thought deserved attention. Into the shadows!
Like last time, if you want to see more cards or check out the scores that these cards got, here is the link.
Long Shadows by Elvaeyn
Quite literal! I love the "add a 1/1 copy of a minion" cards. They feel nice to play for me. This one is no exception! Cheap, you can set up a combo with Malygos or Edwin VanCleef. Or add two more copies of Legendary you got from another class to your hand. One of my favorite cards of this comp.
Snareweed Golem By ShadowsOfSense
A less-controlled Splintergraft that adds a much cheaper and weaker copy of an enemy minion to your hand. It is an good card to play though, adding it when it dies at a later turn when the copy is playable versus add a huge copy to your hand, but let the bark rot for a turn. As someone who tried to make Gloop Sprayer work, I applaud you.
Senseless Potion By JFK
Cheap and the additional effect adds a vanilla minion to your hand. That is a great effect for Silence Priest. You can silence one of your "can't attack." minions, then adds an already silenced minion to your hand. Value!
Allidar By RenoLord
Wow, another Priest card. Actually, there were 11 Priest cards made in this comp. I know that is their thing, but come on. That is 1/4 of the cards submitted. This one is the coolest one I have seen. Allidar adds a minion to your hand, and then if you are a totally big dragon (with a claw with the same durability than KNUCKLES MADE FROM TENTACLES and even less than a freaking STICK) you also get a copy on board. Even better if you get a big minion. I feel like this is a pretty good card and feels like Priest.
Ritual of Rejuvenation By KANSAS
This card has some great Untapped Potential. (yes, I said it) For 2 mana, you can get a spell you played AND heal your face. Spell Druid could use this at anytime. How in Yogg's holy name did this get barely a 3 though?

OVERVIEW:
Thank you guys for reading this. I will try to do 7 next time to show more. Tell me which comp to do next! Suggestions, comments, questions and concerns are always welcome. I'm a one-man band, so that will help me cater to you guys more. If you guys can share this to other people, that would be great! Happy voting for the finalists today. See you back in the shadows. Until next time, palaam ulit!

Woo honorable mention!
I think it would be neat to do taunt insect if you haven't already.
Self proclaimed good at battlegrounds
Thanks! So far I have done this one and How To Train Year Dragon. Yeah, I am pretty far behind, but I will get it done.
Hey, thanks for the shout out!
I really like these. It gives the people who lost the competition a bit of extra self-esteem.
Carrion, my wayward grub.
Thanks!
I wont argue about liking a card, but I will say that Long Shadows is beyond, and I mean beyoooond, broken :D
I like Senseless Potion, good flavor on that card too!

I personally like Ritual of Rejuvenation or Allidar after that one.
And yes, yes it is.
Thanks for the mention. Homie
No problem
I found the competition themed "The price of power" very interesting. It allowed us to design OP effects which is cool for itself and then forced us to balance them with a drawback of comparable strength. Lots of cool ideas and quite some variety among the submissions.
Thanks for those reviews, I really like them!
I notice I am confused. Something I believe isn't true. How do I know what I think I know?

Thanks a lot. I will look into it.
Dude, this is a really cool series.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed.
