I'm super suprised that R's Combat Dominie didn't make it. Maybe I won't be as straight forward with my feedback in the future, looks like it might paint a target on people's back if their cards are labeled as a potential winner (and I wasn't the only one who said so). Sorry R! :(
Keep going, you can do this! I've played some Demon Hunter myself this month with Deathrattle strong in Standard and even made it to legend in Wild with Odd. I'm at 260 now, so I'll probably need another 3 years for that super nice 1.000 wins portrait lol
Feedback time, sorry for being a bit late this week. Thanks for your thoughts on my cards!

Volvano Caller is solid work, but not very exciting. Agor is super cool! One super small thing to consider is that the initial card depicts an guy with two heads, but you can get three different outcomes. Any chance you happen to have one lying around with three heads?
BasilAnguis
Very nice idea, it's been some time since Thief Priest got some love. Not sure about the Echo part, though. That keyword is tied to The Witchwood when spell schools had not been a thing yet. Why not go with a good old cost reduction? I'd say go all in and make them cost 1!
Neoguli
Solid idea, but I don't think it counts. The subtext of the prompt says "We're looking for a specific school here". Better check with Shadows!
Elfensilver
Choosing a Dragon to design your card around is a cool idea, but I see several problems. First of all, you should use another watermark. Then the art isn't very good, it looks like a screenshot from WoW. Finally, I'd choose another effect. Dealing damage randomly split isn't a Druid thing.
R
I can only echo the other's feedback: Combat Dominie is a super cool card and a potential winner in my eyes (you can never know with these crazy finalist's vote results these days though). Nothing more to say.
linkblade91
"Double your Armor" always sounds scary to me, but this time the restriction is big enough to work out I guess. You also made it even-costed so Odd Warrior shenanigans aren't a problem either. Solid card!
Lundy
I was a bit disappointed when I saw you've used the same art as me to be honest, but I do like your card. No big fan of Start of Game effects, but it's a cool idea and the pun in the name is great. Rated 4 stars for now, might give it a raise to 5 when I've seen all the others on Sunday.
Wailor
Haha, I guess we've both gone with the coolest archetypes around :) I much prefer Shai, since Silvermoon Icecaller is just too close to [Hearthstone Card (Warden Dawngrasp) Not Found] and I think Blizzard made them a Legendary on purpose to keep the potential number of Frost Novas low. Nice one!
This probably needs some fine tuning, but I'm definitely gonna go full Shadow Priest this week. Priest needs a replacement for Shadow Word: Horror in standard, so this is my first idea.
Edit: Had another idea. Which one do you think is better?
Really cool to see so much traffic in here that late in the competition! Here are some more thoughts from my side.
Alfi
I have seen a baby King Krush among the submissions with your effect on it. If that's your submission, well done! That's a cool card. If it isn't, you should create something else and file a complaint at Shadows because someone has stolen your idea.
Lundy
It's not bad, but I know that feeling when you're not happy with you card anymore after too many changes. I hope inspiration strikes soon!
Hordaki
Very solid card, I like it! Me0203's suggestion for an alternative name sounds pretty cool, too since OG Brightwing's entry text is quite iconic.
When a spam/advertizing/whatever post is made in a thread, the site registers this just like any normal post. Then the housekeeping algorythm kicks in and removes the post. What causes some irritation is that the site still displays the time of the deleted post as the last post in this thread. Maybe it helps if I give an example:
09.06.2021, 11:15 normal post
10.06.2021, 17:00 offensive post
Even after the offensive post got deleted, the site will display that the last post in this thread was made on 10.06.2021, 17:00.
At least that's what I remember from similar issues in the past. Maybe one of the staff members can explain this better, I'm neither a native speaker nor a site dev.
Okay, last try with a more interesting take of Sylvanas:
This captures the effect of OG Sylvanas and the flavor of the Forsaken since it raises your opponent's dead minions to fuel your own army. It obviously sucks against Token decks but that never stopped OG Sylvanas from being good. Summoning two units should acertain that this is a solid play at least stat-wise (comparable to Jandice).
Which version is better? "Resurrect" is an established mechanic, but it has never been applied to enemy minions before, so the second version might be the safe way to go. I don't want people to think the card summons minions for your opponent. Some late feedback would be great!
@Lundy: Making a Thalnos card is very ambitious. I can easily picture him in Warlock (a Bloodmage in the blood magic class), but the effect doesn't work out for me yet. Maybe you should focus on that aspect some more. What I imagine definesThalnos as a Bloodmage design-wise is having paid with his life force for the spell damage (low stats) and gaining resources upon death.
@Me0203: Wow, what a great read! I have rarely seen such an elaborate an well verbalized post. I also appreciate it very much that you have given constructive criticism and made suggestions what we could do. If you want to polish up the spoilers, you start out as usual: type your text, mark it, click the "Spoiler" button. Then you add " text="name"" between the first brackets. Here's an example: {spoiler text="Me0203"} I hope this is understandable. Credits to Demonxz95 who taught me this in the first place.
Thanks for all your feedback so far. Looks like my ideas were even worse than I thought lol. I'll go with something more boring I guess.
It's a recycled card from season 1, adjusted to this weeks theme. Feign Death on a stick seemed to weak, so I doubled up on it. Funny how that feels a lot more threatening somehow. The restriction rules out Oblivitron, Savannah Highmane, Seeping Oozeling, Khartut Defender and OG Sylvanas herself of course. Not sure what to do about the card text. With four lines it produces an orphan, at -2 and -3 it collides with the Attack value and at everything smaller it jumps back to 4 lines until it becomes minuscule. Strange.
Also sorry for the late response to your ideas, life has kept me busy this week.
Me0203
Nice to have you back! Greenskin is the least crazy of the three, but I'd say he offers the best chances to win this competition. Not having 5 Cost cards is no big issue for a Pirate deck with a few weapons, so it would definitely find a home. The art might be better, but that's a minor issue.
Wailor
One of my favourites so far. I like the 3 cost version the most because that's a huge price to pay for mage (no secrets, no AI) which is only fitting for such a powerful effect. 5 stars from me!
Lundy
Ooof, this super strong. Having no 8 cost cards is a really small price for the rewards this card offers. You should really go down to 4. I do like all the thought you have put into your cards, it's amazing how you managed to mirror the WoW experience. It's sad to hear that you can't submit that many tokens. If you want to hear my advice, I'd try to come up with something completely different and keep these cards in store for a better occasion instead of crippling such an amazing concept.
linkblade91
Very solid card, I like it. One thing I'd try to adjust is getting "2/2" and "Treant" into one line if possible. Edit: ooops, I kinda overlooked the part where it says "this game". Now that might be too much. But I see how it's necessary because you can't combine the restriction with an aura effect. Tricky.
Deminxz95
I really like the flavor behind your card, exploring the other side of Sylvanas is a cool idea. I do think the reward is too weak though, even if cutting 4 cost cards isn't too big of a problem for Hunter.
DestroyerR
Damn, I'm using this art as my profile pic on the OoC Discord and I didn't think of using it for this competition. I like your idea and the way it has shaped out on Discord.
R
One of my favourites so far. Very well done!
Longshadow
Loreseeker Cho wouldn't work since you can't discover at the end of your turn. Even if that was possible I think the reward wouldn't be good enough for such a huge sacrifice because your opponents would clear this ASAP. Professor Jones is a nice idea, it fits the archaeologist theme pretty well. Be careful with the number of tokens though, I'm not sure if you can submit more than two.
Have you ever OTK'ed before? Have you ever made mistakes? Like when you feel invincible You really should be careful
And don't forget the fun is on the line There's a price to pay and the stakes are high Remember to be careful
Watch your hand Take it slow Because you never know If mill hurts Watch your Health Draw carefully Follow C'Thun but think twice 'Cause animations hurt
Everything felt so right Now I just want this card nerfed I'm telling myself that I'm not crying over you Everything felt so good Never thought you could break the game I'm telling myself that I'm not crying over you
I'm not crying over you Boy I'm crying over you I'm not crying over you

Lots of super cool cards this week. Good luck everybody!
Firelands Portal? I think we're looking for a mage Fire spell and it ends with "al" lol
Plague of Death? No idea about the clues but that's pretty much the only AOE that leaves no trace (with the exception of Reno) and it's odd costed.
Keep going, you can do this! I've played some Demon Hunter myself this month with Deathrattle strong in Standard and even made it to legend in Wild with Odd. I'm at 260 now, so I'll probably need another 3 years for that super nice 1.000 wins portrait lol

I don't play casual, Standard is my fun area. Sometimes Wild when I've already reached the rank I was aiming for that season.
Celestial said they're aware of the fact that Nozdormu Day needs some advertising in game on Twitter :)
Played almost two hours in Standard between Platinum 10 and 8, met a few ropers but no fellow Nozdormu player :(
Sorry for spamming but I had yet another idea, it's just such a cool theme. I'd be very thankful if you could help me choose between those three.
Congrats to MathU once more!
This probably needs some fine tuning, but I'm definitely gonna go full Shadow Priest this week. Priest needs a replacement for Shadow Word: Horror in standard, so this is my first idea.
