2. Ether Blade
3. Warp Wave Warrior

Contest theme:

1. Forests and Flowers
2. Humanoid's Best Friend
3. Turn up the Heat

[Just to Browse]

Also had a seriously tough time picking here.

Entries:

1. Aberrant Infiltrator
2. Oath of the Truth-Seeker
3. Extradimensionalism

Themes:

1. Are You Scared of the Dark?
2. Humanoid's Best Friend
3. Turn Up the Heat

[Psyche]

Wow it's been a while since I did one of these.
Okay, here goes:
Entries
1.Extradimensional Wizard
ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE THEME HERE, execution is pretty good too, you basically become the Prime Mover of your world and seeing how that progresses throughout the subclass is just *(gives chef's kiss)*
2. Elder constellation warlock
Absolutely beautiful usage of the "choose your own adventure" subclass. Love it.
3. Warp Wave Warrior
Is it practical? Yes. Is it fun and flavorful? Yes. Is that flavor absolutely disgusting (in a good way)? Yes. All in all, amazing subclass, just one critique: infinite range melee attacks are broken.
Themes
1.Turn up the heat
Angel with flaming sword fighter anyone?
2. Are you scared of the dark?

[DragonLaughter]

These are great concepts, so after a bit of debate I came to these conclusions:

1. Extradimensional Wizard.
Excellent execution, mighty but not too powerful, also quite creative. The idea of having your own world you can share with your friends is one I think we can all enjoy.

2. Abberant Infiltrator Rogue
Well Balanced, a solid innovation on an already existing mechanic, and some excellent variety.

3. Warp Wave Fighter.
It's a strong concept, and some interesting mechanics, I do think some of the later features get a bit too strong.

Themes
Forests and Flowers: I want more Plant oriented monsters and stuff!

Humanoid's Best Friend: Friends! Love friends!

Turn up the heat: Fire good. More fire!

[WarrentheHero]

It's a difficult choice, especially when I can't choose my own lol

1) Rogue Ether Blade. I really like the 'doesn't materially belong here' kind of vibe.
2) Warlock Elder Constellation. I like giving the most customizable class more customization.
3) Paladin Oath of the Truth-Seeker. Honestly I just think the Pierce The Veil ability is just so cool.

Theme vote
1) Humanoid's Best Friend. 5e has never done companions/summons right. Lets see if we can.
2) Are you Scared of the Dark? Many good thematic options.
3) Forests and Flowers. Plants as an archetype are an underutilized idea in 5e.
