Thanks for the feedback KANSAS & Anchorm4n - two revised ideas: one that's basically just a more controllable Deadly Shot on a Tribal stick and one that's got some big clearance potential with Stargazer Luna feeling. Which do people think is better?
I'm a fan of simplicity, so I support the first. The stats don't look right yet, but I suck at balancing cards. My feeling says 4 or even 3 mana 3/2, but surely someone else is able to give solid advice on that matter.
The idea being it would be a good tech card since the left-most minion would often be one your opponent held during mulligan so could be a good "plan-disrupter". It would give an "attack the hand" card to a class other than Warlock with Chaos Gazer, and I went for Hunter since it would both 1) fit the Mech Hunter archetype and 2) the class identity of strong, single-target removals.
I guess my main concern is cost vs stats - should the cost/stats be dropped a bit so it can be played earlier/cheaper (thinking 3 mana 1/2) or is it already strong and should be raised (so maybe 5 mana 2/4)?
Also random trivia time re: the name of the card - for those who were not tasked with studying Latin for years, "sinister" originally just meant "left" - it only took on the negative connotations during late antiquity/the early middle ages when the Catholic church began associating "left" with evil and "right" with good based on a handful of biblical passages. So in case any nuns ever beat the left-handedness out of you in school, now you know why.
I love the art and the trivia. But destroying a card in hand is a no-go for me. Chaos Gazer targets a playable card, Rin can be silenced but you couldn't do anything to prevent your opponent from destroying a key card in your hand with this. Your hand should be a safe place imho. Make it remove a minion on board, the left-most would be the obvious choice. If you don't mess up the stats you'll get a top rating from me, but please don't make it remove cards from hand.
Just a minor issue: The CDC voting progress bar always shows one card left to vote on, although I have seen all the entries. I'm pretty sure the last one is my own which I can't vote on in the first phase. Could you change the number of entries to vote on to "all entries -1" for the first phase?
KANSAS: I prefer Ritual of Rejuvenation. It might be a bit too strong for the cost, since you're guaranteed to discover something good. I don't like double discovers so no Eaveadrop for me, Hellrat is too weak because of board space maximum and no offense, but the spider is boring.
I like the spider, I really want beast druid to be a thing. Do you think there is a way I could change it to make it more interesting? Or should I just submit Ritual of Rejuvenation?
First of all: it's just my opinion, there surely are lots of people who like beast druid. If you want to make me play this card though, you could try and rise the power level: make the deathrattle summon two copies! I guess that would have to show in the rarity and the stats, but it would certainly make me wanna try it out.
I just realized that this would make it a beast-restricted Carnivorous Cube that doesn't kill the target... sounds frightening, but also very cool.

Thanks a lot! Name and rarity are the two things I felt most uncomfortable with, too. I think there's enough resemblance to Zerek, Master Cloner to make this a new iteration of him. Will think some more about the cost.
What is supposed to happen if your opponent has only one minion on the board and you try to hit it?
I'm at a loss for words to describe how much I despise Resurrect Priest. Please make it go away and give this class a viable win condition already.

Congrats to shaveyou! It was my second favourite card of the finalists. Didn't spot the text mistake either...
Congratulations! I'm happy for you :)

Oh that's a shame. Great card, insta inclusion to my Thief Priest in wild. 4 stars at least from my side.
My guess for the Year of the Dragon card is Ancharrr. It wasn't that OP in the first place, the nerf came unexpected for my part.

Roll the Bones is correct, Abobominator is next!

Good guess, but no. "Fame" only means increasing your chances to win in this case.
Negative. You're looking for a spell.

Nope.
Incredible how fast you're responding to suggestions and bug reports. Thanks a lot, especially for the Card Design Competition related improvements!

Thanks for the reminder. I would have forgotten it this time and just barely made it yesterday in the evening because of the android issues.
