In general, I'd like if we got more totems instead. Such a big part of shamans.

Great Card, like it.

If it's not buffing my minons already out there, get lost. 

This is not relevant to standard, but you can play it in wild odd druid where the hero power can provide a good amount of progress for this quest.

Reverse defender of argus.  Arena viable.  Doubt it will see standard play.

May or may not see play.  Big minions like this are just a tad too high costed to be universally used like tar creeper, and the condition at being half life or less may not be as easy to gimmick, even in warlock, as you might expect.

Handlock schmandlock. 

Excelent in zoo. Will totally see experimentation,

I wouldn't use it for Quest completion, I'd just use it for burst (or lifegain alternatively). 5-mana 8-damage is nothing to laugh at, especially if you can ppull it off twice on the same turn for that 16-damage nuke (the Chad Druid vs the virgin Doomhammer Shaman).

If this sort of deck comes together in any shape or form I feel like Solar Eclipse will be essential, if only just to double your draws or something.

Walking Fountain's little brother,  seems like it'll be a staple in arena drafts.  Will most likely be included in most mid-range/control shaman decks.  Not sure it's needed or wanted in aggro/doomhammer/curve elemental shaman.

Seems like a bit of a win more card to me, but could be broken given certain boards.

I do not think this is enough. 8 is a big number....

Could be tasty off Jandice or the Tiny Toys. Good, but it's a win more card, and it'll be underplayed. 

Shredder 2.0.  Making arena drafts drool since 2016.

Warlock will love this! Also being neutral it gives tons of healing for most classes.

Spellbreaker is back baby!

Good enough for the next year... Not now though.

Good catch! That is something that I did not consider, so I'll just write about it here to make up for that.

For the first step, Solar Eclipse + Pounce can be found by turn 8 on average, which is obviously not the best look when we already expect to have the first step done by turn 3.

As for the second step, we can just weave in a hero power with the aforementioned Eclipse + Pounce, which assuming we did not use either for the first step, can once again be found by turn 8 on average, which does help the consistency a bit, but ultimately doesn't make it faster.

The final step is where things get a little bit more interesting. Solar Eclipse + either of the 3 mana attack buff spells does save time. The chance of having both of these cards in your hand go as 68% on turn 8 if you have not cast any of the 3 mana attack buffs, 53% to have by turn 9 if you've cast 1, and finally 53% to have by turn 14 if you've cast two of them.

So all in all, Solar Eclipse can speed up the last step if you have cast none or one of the 3 mana attack buffs, but past then and it won't really speed things up on average.

All this being said, the main card you want to pair with Solar Eclipse is actually Fungal Fortunes, simply because 6/8 of the cards that help speed up the quest are spells, and if you can pull the two off, you can expect to finish the last step significantly faster even if you have already used 2/4 of the 3 mana attack buffs.

Can this summon himself? A 3 drop with not that terrible stats getting anohter one is just good value.

Limitless potential for shenanigans

Seems pretty good. Don't know exactly how it fits in current Shaman decks, but it doesn't require playing an elemental the turn previous to get all this tasty keywords. 

And now a paladin is defending the warlock.

Has some potential. Reminds me of fungalmancer.

Underwhelming.

Great everywhere, except on DH.
