4 mana do nothing is suicide so you can't play this on turn 4. Sure, you can spam dudes, but those dudes do nothing until the turn after. They don't have initiative. I feel like playing this card gives your opponent way too much time to do whatever he wants whether that's in arena or in constructed. I get that the idea is to present your opponent with a new wave of minions if he's able to clear the previous one, but depending on his game plan he might not need to or you might not be able to as you just don't have the cards in hand for a new wave.
I'm gonna go with Elise, Card Collector; the question is: what stats should she have? I'm thinking 7/7 or 8/8.
7/7 means by the time she's vanilla she'll be a 7/7/7 "Battlecry: Add five cards to your hand." with potential for better. Needs at least 5 Discovers for this to happen.
8/8 means by the time she's vanilla she'll be an 8/8/8 "Battlecry: Add four cards to your hand." with potential for better. Needs at least 4 Discovers for this to happen.
Which do you prefer? She currently needs 7 Discovers to reach the 5/5/5 stat-line reference of her other cards.

R - Does a self-pain Warlock need a big Abyssal clearer? I feel like the Warlock has a lot of clears already, and the requirement is very similar to Flesh Giant. I would say there's nothing inherently wrong with the card, though; just seems unnecessary. I think I prefer Obsessed Worgen.
Wailor - I like the latest Ancient of Wonders. I don't know if you did this on purpose, but the Ancient of Wonders in Warcraft III is a store for hero items; with that in mind, being related to Tradeable is very on-brand and lore-appropriate. Nice work :)
BasilAnguis - "Trade" should be capitalized and bolded, and "Cost" should be capitalized as well. I have a soft-spot for the Sha, having made an expansion based around them, so I like the usage.
AeroJulwin - That's a silly name :P Personally, I wonder if the cost needs to be higher: it's not hard for a Paladin to cast 6 Holy spells or more in one game, to earn themselves a Reno Jackson. Libram of Wisdom-abuse can easily bring this card further down - I'd love to say "well the Libram will be in Wild by then!", but a lot of people won't see that.
Nirast - That's just goofy lol. Not sure what to say: it exists to be exploited, which will annoy some people. Also, why is it a Kobolds & Catacombs card? It has no connection to the expansion.
Fedrion - "Totem" needs to be capitalized. Combining the main four together is cute, but it's also a pretty crap combination of stats without any Keywords. You would need to save your Totemic Surges for the board fill…but that's in Wild. Without it, I'm concerned there isn't enough good Totems to risk the gamble.
FieselFitz - Change the art of the Fire Lord and make sure it says "all other characters", and I think you're good to go. I would pass on Brogon, even in light of a potential rework.
Neoguli - Coral Lurker could be phrased as "When you Trade this, reduce the Cost of this and the card drawn by (2)." Might look better/neater. I prefer it over Miranda: I think we've seen enough of the Fantastic Treasures for now.
BloodMefist - I like the Void Baron, but as the Discussion thread has indicated, we might be in the minority regarding cards that are not meant to be played.
Demonxz95 - Where have I seen that condition before? *cough* MyCardLastWeek *cough* :P I like it, though. Doesn't need to be 11+ mana, per se, but whatever.
Bet that comment reminded Flux to shut it down. Though I had noticed it had ran a few days past the official end date myself.
e: Although it hasn't entirely shut down. The daily tasks don't work now, and you can't trick-or-treat, but I'm still getting random candy from visiting pages.
That's the same behavior as before my comment. The random candy was my motivation to post it. But I the daily tasks were unchecked even before I posted.
Arena: Pick this every chance you get. You won't regret it.
Constructed: This is how insane 8 mana cards need to be these days to even be considered. But will this make it into any optimized lists? I highly doubt it.
Basically just says all the things I was saying months ago.
How infinite cycling limits deck variety, and how having decks filled with independent value generators limits decks identity
Gives the example that one of the best Jayce decks was obviously gonna be in bandle, I knew that we all knew that.
However, with the release of Jayce I've actually become hopeful that Riot will release Champs and cards that are on par value wise.
Shurima needs more landmark value, cards like the 3/1 that gives you dirt is sooooo bad into cycles as to essentially be -1 card in practice.
Ionia and Freijord need more control tools to remain viable.
Shadow is probably fine , just due to the event love they've gotten they have a lot of spell variety, I also think targon is fine, and so is Demacia and Noxious for what they do.
So again it's not that Bandle city is objectively op and better than everyone else, it's that they are as good if not better in every single style of deck ever imagined.
Arena: Don't bother. This is way too situational and expansive to even consider.
Wild: It has the potential to be a better Kathrena Winterwisp, but in Wild that card is too slow to see any play right now. Still, you probably run both in the same deck if your game plan is to cheat out big beasts.
Standard: Probably too slow and situational as well. There are some midrange beast you'd be happy to cheat out, but I'm not seeing any overwhelmingly great synergies.
This is very very good. Draw 3, 1 mana secrets! Interesting deck building, annoying to play around, even a thought to use it to draw explosive traps for Quest Hunter.
8 mana to kill a minion and leave behind a 5/5 taunt and an 8/somthing... Paladin already has these cards (Varian, Yrel) and doesn't play them. 5 health taunt on 8 isn't saving you either, Uther.
That aside, I'm not really sure why the weapon has a full 5 durability if it never loses it itself and it makes no difference to full weapon removal. The protection against the full compliment of 2xBloodsail Corsair and 2xToxic Sewer Ooze seems a bit paranoid, so all it really does is give Harrison Jones a bigger payday :P
Jokes aside, onto the card itself. I'm a little worried that every deck starts running weapon hate if Lightforged Cariel is a prevalent meta card. Having to run and play weapon hate still hurdles your opponent and that doesn't get rid of Blessing of Queens, but that does get rid of arguably the biggest asset of this card. Regardless, the 4/4 buff each turn to a card in your hand is nothing to scoff at and the Consecration can be surprisingly useful as well at times.
Arena: Ysera the Dreamer and Goliath, Sneed's Masterpiece might be slightly stronger, but aside from those this is an auto-pick. Your opponent isn't likely to have weapon hate and isn't saving it in his hand as he isn't expecting Lightforged Cariel either.
Speaking for myself only, it might be a while before I could review Ruined King, between a full-time job, trying to complete Ghost of Tsushima first, plus Hearthstone using up free time as well. I'll probably play some when the TV is in use and I can't access Ghost, but still: it's an RPG, so it'll take some time to get into.
Now this is really slow really awkward and borderline useless in a variety of circumstances....but I love it anyways. Let's hope it at least indicates some nice Beast support is coming our way.
Maybe it could work with a Vanndar deck. Fill one half with removal, the other with big beats, this guy, Leoroxx and whateever else makes sense.

9 mana? Way to slow... And it gets worse the fewer minions the opponent has. I'll get a consistently better board with N'zoth.
New Paladin Minion - Templar Captain
On par with King Rush.
Arena: Pick this every chance you get. You won't regret it.

Yep, they did. They also removed the card from the schedule on their site.

I'm curious if there will some kind of bug when a recruited Charge minion receives Rush, through this card.
I call dibs on it 😁😆

A Big Beast Hunter with the new Vanndar Stormpike, with a bunch of small spells to stall, could be really fun!
New Hunter Minion - Dun Baldar Bunker
This is very very good. Draw 3, 1 mana secrets! Interesting deck building, annoying to play around, even a thought to use it to draw explosive traps for Quest Hunter.
Wing Commander Ichman is a New Hunter Legendary Card Revealed for Fractured in Alterac Valley
9 mana haha
Wing Commander Ichman is a New Hunter Legendary Card Revealed for Fractured in Alterac Valley
Support doesn't necessarily mean both cards are going to be played on the same turn.
New Paladin Minion - Templar Captain
8 mana to kill a minion and leave behind a 5/5 taunt and an 8/somthing... Paladin already has these cards (Varian, Yrel) and doesn't play them. 5 health taunt on 8 isn't saving you either, Uther.
New Hunter Minion - Wing Commander Ichman
Awww, I want this to be good in a deathrattle beast hunter, but it's way too slow!
New Paladin Hero - Lightforged Cariel
Obviously, it's to synergize with Furnacefire Colossus if you're somehow able to get The Immovable Object back into your hand, and Phantom Freebooter, which see about as much play as Harrison Jones these days.
Jokes aside, onto the card itself. I'm a little worried that every deck starts running weapon hate if Lightforged Cariel is a prevalent meta card. Having to run and play weapon hate still hurdles your opponent and that doesn't get rid of Blessing of Queens, but that does get rid of arguably the biggest asset of this card. Regardless, the 4/4 buff each turn to a card in your hand is nothing to scoff at and the Consecration can be surprisingly useful as well at times.

Constructed: Every slower deck would probably want to run Lightforged Cariel. I wouldn't even be surprised if this is run in an Uther of the Ebon Blade combo deck.
