I'd very much suggest to go with the first one. It has the simplest design and the text just looks better. Don't over-complicate an already great card!

I agree with Xarkkal, the second art looks better. I'm not convinced by the name, though. What does a star have to do with the art?
Really cool concept! I think it's a little too much of the same mechanic to fit into one expansion, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing since you could cut them down to the best cards among them. Mage makes me a little concerned about gaining too much spell damage, but that heavily depends on consistency which I'm really bad at evaluating.
I have that idea of doing something that is dependend of your mana crystals. I hope it's not to close to BloodMefist's Shaman legendary... Here's my first try:
So at 10 mana you could combo it with a Fireball to get a more complicated Pyroblast. This card shines when you manage to keep it alive for a turn (Frost Nova?)or in combination with a Kalecgos in play. It becomes bonkers if you hit it with Luna's in wild, but then, what isn't.
How do you like it? I'll add feedback later, as usual.
Thanks for the feedback so far! Could someone explain to me why you are so concerned about OTKs? If the card is played at 10 mana, it gains Spell Damage +4. The worst you can do with the remaining 4 mana is to cast a Fireball for 10 damage - which would be the same as casting Pyroblast in the first place, safe for the body of course. That's actually the reason why I put it at 6 and not at 7, I wanted to keep it strong enough to be a threat. If your opponent can't deal with a 4 Health minion at 10 mana you probably deserve that win anyway. Sure, there is combo potential with freeze effects but even then it's susceptible to spells. Honestly I haven't ever seen a Malygos Mage deck worth mentioning and I just don't see any possible OTK in standard by a long way. You might be able to cast 2 fireballs for 20 damage with the help of Incanter's Flow, but that's veeeeery RNG dependent. What am I missing here?
I like Lightning Aspect the most effect-wise, the other two feel a little forced. That said, the flavor is a bit off since there's no lightning in the art.

I like your idea, but it doesn't feel right in Mage. Hard removal isn't part of their class identity. Warlock probably would be the class to go to, but then it might be too close to Keli'dan the Breaker… I'll think some more abiout it.

I really like Anzu! Rogue loves some spell damage and you've paired it well with the stealth archetype. I'd wait until some of the card design veterans evaluate if it's OP, but to me it looks great!

Kirin Tor Chaincaster is the better idea in my eyes, I imagine exploiting this with Rogue or Mage could be fun. Cool card!
BloodMefist:

I'd go with Grennan or Meryl. Grennan looks a little more like a card that might actually be printed in real life HS. I agree about bumping the cost a bit.

Sorry, I'm not convinced by any of them. MEGABLAST! looks the most interesting out of the three of them. You should put a period at the end of your first sentence.

Arcane Brilliance and Mana Droplet look really great! I wouldn't mind the spell at 2, the obvious card to compare it to being Arcane Intellect. Arcane Brilliance needs a setup and a little power creep is okay. The Droplet is super cute, a strong card with great synergies (Flame Geyser) and well balanced. Wouldn't know which one to pick.

I prefer Essence Drainer. It's an interesting effect that fits the art well. That said, it could also be a Warlock card. It reminds me of Blood-Queen Lana'thel.

Congrats Wailor! That was a close one indeed. No shame in a second place with these strong competitors.
(Sidenote: When does season 1 end? The finalist voting really shouldn't be open for the finalists themselves. I chose the middle way and only rated my own card this time. If I had given Wailor's card 1 star, I'd have won.)
Ever felt dirty playing that T0 net deck or getting away with some insane RNG win that was totally undeserved? Here's the place to ease your mind! We'll listen, we'll understand and most importantly: we won't judge.
I'll start with a confession of BM. I was playing Disco Lock and queued into a golden Odd Warrior. My first mistake was not to concede after Baku's animation, I knew I'd have to draw like a God to win that matchup. Of course RNGesus was busy elsewhere and I not only drew really really bad, but also suffered from abysmally bad discard outcomes. The straw that broke the camel's back was my opponent roping almost every turn until the mid game when it was crystal clear I had already lost the game. I don't think they did it on purpose, it felt more like they were doing something else and not really paying attention. Even late in the game their turns took far longer than necessary and that's something that really gets to me from time to time. So yeah, the last three turns I roped them without any cards left to play just to give something back. I usually never do that since I'm despicing this behavior with all my heart but today I couldn't help myself. Dear Odd Warrior player, if you should happen to read this: I'm sorry. Please do your fellow players a favor and concentrate on whatever your doing and don't multitask Hearthstone.
Wow, that's an incredibly strong field of finalists this week and I'm proud to be part of it. I have a feeling the results will be very close, the overall level is just so high!
The one thing, the only thing that prevented me from being interested in the PlayStation 3 and onward that Sony has yet to catch on to? One of the things that made the PlayStation 2 what it was and such a roaring success?
Backwards compatibility.
Seriously, it isn't hard to just program stable emulators onto new hardware that can interact with physical discs :\
The design is cool but I don't really see what makes it better than the last generation in that mind-blowing way they're promoting it. Of the games I liked Project Athia the most. I'm curious about the price and if there will be a VR set right from the start...
Won my first game with the Druid list, completely destroying a Demon Hunter. Makes me consider crafting Ysera, Unleashed after all...

Well, that will be possible this time, at least partially.
That's correct! Well done, you're next.
Looks like Amazon France has leaked the price and the release date. 499€, starting November 20th. Sounds like a good deal to me!

Not that either. Another hint: the first line is about the card's name.
I'd say the submission phase ends in 175 minutes from sinti's post.
Taunt would be a good idea imo. And please explain the lore behind the character if there is one.
Nope, it's not a neutral card. Think more along the line of DeytroyerR's guesses.

Still negative. You almost have it. It's not a Warlock card though.
That's closer but not yet correct.
Nope.
