I am still thinking it could be Whitemane, though my first thought was Prestor. It's a toss up as the design is basically the same, but the red gem matches Whitemane more than Prestor's purple gem in the middle.
Regardless, given the stories within Book of Mercenaries (spoilers of Tavish's story ahead)
Show Spoiler
and how the Tavish story had Kazakus raise Dread Lich Tamsin using a Void Naaru they created by corrupting all the Naaru shards, I wouldn't be surprised if it's Scarlet Crusade related. As mentioned eariler, there is Saidan who seems very out of place. A powerful Dread Lich has just been ressurrected within Alterac Valley. And a lot of people have died in AV over the many, MANY years of conflict occuring in this place. So if someone wanted to quickly raise a large undead army… it's the perfect place to do it. And whose main purpose is it to eradicate the undead?! The Scarlet Crusade!
This list is pretty good, but I found it was bricking quite often. I cut the Frostwolf Kennels, Glowfly Swarm, Best in Shell, and Cenarion Ward for Resizing Pouch (easy extra Innervate/Bloom), Capture Coldtooth Mine, Solar Eclipse, and Moonlight Guidance. It's very all-in, but you can more consistently get a huge board on turn 2 or 3.
Probably just a coincidence, but the gem in the center looks like a Red Mana Crystal, a scrapped mechanic from the Gadgetzan expansion for the Kabal. The Kabal are tied to Kazakus who will most likely play a significant role in the miniset.
Interesting interview from 2017 stating they'd like to introduce Red Mana somewhere down the road. This would be the perfect opportunity if they ever do that.
Honestly, I can't see Hearthstone dying. It makes the most money out of every digital card game (as far as I could find on google), has been going steady for 8 years. Why would it start to die if the year before was fine and the year before that fine?
I think people don't see that it is competing monetarily with games like CoD and assume it is dead without understanding it is a card game and the average gamer does not want to wait and sit for their turn. HS has the card game demographic down and no other digital TCG competes with it. If HS dies, then I imagine so would every other digital card game.
There's a lot of struggling going on for what sounded like a simple prompt. My card is definitely not the best either, but unless I end up thinking of something more original, I'll probably just submit it.

I really like the new idea, but it is VERY powerful for a 4-Cost. I'd advise you to rebalance its numbers. Otherwise, at least make it target three random minions (rather than being able to hit the same one multiple times), so it isn't strong against both single big minions AND wide boards.
Demonxz95
If Dr. Smalls is still on the table, I would prefer that one. It's far more unique. Although I still think it should only affect you deck.
Swizard
I totally forgot about [Hearthstone Card (Shadow Step) Not Found]. And all things considered, I think this idea is just too difficult to properly balance.

I think you should stick to the first idea. I don't like how the second version backfires on Deathrattle minions with 3 or more Health. And otherwise you'd still lose the body. Something like an upgraded version of Animated Berserker would probably do the same job better. It could have extra stats in return for damaging other minions you play. But that's probably for a different competition.
Those cards were likely printed before Pot was banned, and Konami seems to not really care that a bunch of cards are unplayable. Also, there's Traditional format, where banned cards are only limited.
The old suggested decks are no longer applicable, because most of the cards have rotated out. Here's a version for the current Brawl (February 2022) -- Guardian Animals Druid:

Funnily enough, I actually did look up pictures of Whitemane to compare the staff.
It seemed like a pretty clear match, but apparently the design was changed in Mists when Scarlet Monastery was revamped. Prestor makes a lot more sense.

I doubt they would introduce a mechanic that complicated in a mini-set.
Iksar on Mini-sets, back when Darkmoon Races came out.
It's a cool idea, but I think you need more than 35 cards to really sell it.

I remember when the Dragon Egg summoning 2/1 whelps was even played in Druids.

Thanks about the guides! Have you played Egg Hunter? Also a pretty nice Egg deck, Korrak is really good there too.

Right back at you brother bear!I’ve really been extracting a lot of value from your guides, there is so much in there
When are eggs going to get a minion type tag? When are we going to get an egg themed expansion?

They are indeed very similar, but the color hue itself more closely follows that of Onyxia/Prestor than Whitemane.

Boom!!!!
Can we talk about Mercenaries?
Tonight I had enough coins to craft Galvangar, cool cool.
Then I took him on a couple bounty runs to unlock some abilities, cool cool.
Then the collection manager showed -268 Galvangar coins. Math, y'all, it is just so hard.

Can confirm, a pleasure to play.

Thanks! I like your Egg Paladin deck btw, I saw it on Reddit. Egg decks are cool.

Honestly, I have the exact opposite problem with the minisets... too many of the cards are cutesy.
