Man I really like this card but it need to attack multiple times to be useful and the 2 health just means is dies to to most 1 and 2 drops, and that without even counting removal.
This has the potential to be better than We Stand Together 2/1 is a better buff than 1/2 since it allows to get better trades and push for more damage. Bandle City is also a better region for multi buff cards due to region ability to quickly swarm the board, contrary to Targon Fated decks who usually just have one unit on board.
The meme answer is that after all these years people are still discovering the secrets of Pot of Greed and don't fully understand it yet, much less its synergy cards.
For a proper answer I have to disclose my knowledge of YuGiOh is about 15 years out of date, so I really have no idea. But I do recall there were a few cards that were treated as cards of other names, e.g. A Legendary Ocean wasn't Umi, but stated 'This card's name is always treated as "Umi"'. Maybe there is something similar with PoG? I.e. an actually balanced version that is treated as PoG for synergy purposes?
If not, then maybe they just wanted to print cards referencing PoG because of its special place in the history of the game, but only made them for use in casual settings where players can make their own ban lists.
Daowen, I haven't beaten Heroic Garr either. He does have frost weakness, so that is one avenue to try.
Killing his firesworn one at a time is going to yield less damage, but that Hunting Party treasure (you can get it with a beast party) might help more.
Now I have no idea if this idea is practical or not, but playing around with numbers really played off.
Now for some feedback.

I'm unfortunately not a huge fan of this card. Other than the fact that it doesn't seem very practical to me for any game state, I'm afraid I simply just don't like it too much.
This isn't really your fault or anything. Sometimes you just end up finding cards that you don't like but you can't entirely grasp why.

I already gave you the feedback on Discord, but for the sake of everyone here reading, I will reiterate for them.
It's a pretty good card. Though some weapons are particularly problematic. Not just Twig, but also Aluneth is another one. It's also just powerful deckthinning.
Wailor
Honestly I'm convinced that we already have the winner of the competition right here. Nexus Collectionist is a pretty stellar card and you've had an extremely good track record this season. Meanwhile I'm supposed to be the "FC guy" around these parts and I have not (sad face).
Shadowbeak Cleric is okay, but I think it's supposed to read "All enemy minions -1 Attack" which would set its score to 5.
AeroJulwin
If you win with this card, I'm gonna be lowkey super pissed because I came up with this exact card and didn't go through with it because "Draw 1 card" is not traditional wording and therefore its proper score would be 6 instead of 7.
As far as feedback for the card itself, well… that. Great card though.
Taran Zhu is Lord of the Shado-Pan, Pandaria's ninja protectors. He can quickly employ a powerful weapon, but you do so knowing that you'll only get one swing out of it; Deathrattles like Twig of the World Tree or a swing-weapon like Boggspine Knuckles would be best.
Probably too good, but the worst of it would be in Wild *shrugs*

SHAMAN NEWS:As all who's following us on instagram probably know, Wels, the current Shaman Class Master from Czech Republic, has successfully defended his shaman throne from... well, no one!! Fizzy Elf could not attend his throne challenge and after several efforts by our team to contact him, Wels was pronounced the rightful Shaman Class Master for the season! How unfortunate for Fizzy Elf! Wels, may continue his rule over the Shamans but he has been deprived of the Spell card that would strengthen his reign since there was no actual challenger present!
WARRIOR NEWS:Lo and behold! Zoltan from Ukraine has done it once again! He is the challenger of the Warrior's throne! Docw0w, hailing from the same country is going to have a very hard time defending his title this Sunday! In other news, we had an unfortunate event as one of the players tried to cheat!

DRUID NEWS:Congratulation to our finalists!

...So, blood boils for the Class Masters thrones! Zoltan craves to overthrow Docw0w in order to claim another Class Master throne, this time the Warrior's throne, reaching a total of 7 Class Master titles under his belt!
Wels, will also try to become a challenger and have a shot at claiming the Druid throne, reaching a total of 2 Class Master titles but, he's got Zoltan blocking his way! Will he be able to defeat him? Odds are against him but you never know!

Very cool set, would be a lot of fun to see something similar in game.
I do think Baby Y'shaarj could be a bit too restrictive. No 0-3 cost cards means you'll probably lose game 1 and 2, his ability is also super slow since it does nothing if he's played on Turn 5. I could see it working if the restriction was to minions that cost (5) or more, or if you want to get really funky you could make the restriction (4) or less so you're encouraged to pick big cards in your buckets.
the fact that you essentially manifest in a mana neutral form makes me think we will see a lot of this card. Yet there is to see how many decent faes there will be to hit with this.
giving a lord also the ability to summon units from it's tribe at low cost has always been a big deal in mtg and I think in runeterra where board presence is much more key than in mtg this won't be any different.
Everyone knows the power of a turn 2 barrier when it comes to shutting down aggro. The fact that you don't need another unit like you do with Brightsteel Protector makes this card a very potent earlygame card.
It's not busted by any standards but the flexibility makes me think that this will see a good amount of play.
Indeed he was. That being said you make a good point. It could be that I'm wrong or it could be that he will come with an odd affiliation we haven't considered like as you said, Freljord. It could also be that he is released later on as a card in the same vein as Jayce or Viego.
Ivern is affiliated with Ionia and that region already got it's champion in Ahri. So I don't see that happening unless they decide to make Ivern the Freljordian champion, which isn't that crazy because in lore, Ivern was a Freljordian warlord before his transformation into a magical tree.

Killing his firesworn one at a time is going to yield less damage, but that Hunting Party treasure (you can get it with a beast party) might help more.
