I mean, they made shaman a top tier class with just two cards. It's also important to keep in mind that questlines also gives you small rewards while completing them.

Welcome back to Uldum, adventurers! This place has been really calm since the League of Explorers left, but people here still need my services! By the way, do you remember the plagues Rafaam unleashed? It turns out they are very nice when you take the time to know them! Hey, why don't you take a seat? Are you interested by this camel? Come on! I really struggle to sell it.
I do agree with you that the Mage card is way better. I like the flavor as well as the art and the effect is fitting. I do not agree with your thoughts about the cost though. From the cards we have seen so far (Elekk Mount and Ramming Mount), the spell is supposed to have the Cost of the token +1. In your case, the spell should cost 3 Mana if you keep the token at 2. Since Tainted Zealot has Divine Shield I think you could get away with reducing the token's cost to 1 and keep the spell at 2.

I like your general idea, but maybe Hunter isn't the right class for it. Rexxar isn't supposed to have targeted removal in terms of "Destroy" with very few exceptions that have a randomizing or otherwise restring factor (Deadly Shot, Crushing Walls). Maybe Rogue (because of the Pirate vibes) or Priest (if you make it 3 or less Attack instead of Cost) would be better. I'm also a bit confused about the token being a neutral card, shouldn't it be of the same class as the spell? Since the token isn't a card of its own, I'd also add the statline to the spell ("… summon a 3/4 Crab") if you manage to find the space for that.

As I have already let you know on Discord, I don't think your latest version qualifies because we're supposed to make a card that summons another minion after the buffed one dies. I like your general idea though, even if resurrection isn't much of a Demon Hunter theme.

Welcome! It's always nice to see new people around here :-) Your general idea is pretty cool and I really like the art on your spell. I do think you need to adjust the text though. If I've understood your intent correctly, you want to be able to choose if the buffed minion gets Rush or Taunt. If that's the case, you should start the card text with Choose One. I'm no expert in Choose One cards, but I think it should work like this: "Choose One: Give a minion +3/+3 and Rush; or Taunt. When it dies, summon a Kodo." You should also change the watermark on your spell and aply it to the tokens as well. Finally, you'll lose some points for using art that is already in the game (Getaway Kodo, Stampeding Kodo and Thickhide Kodo), so maybe try to find somethin else. Again, it's a very nice idea overall, I especially like how you brought Choose One to the able.

Ancient Spirit is simple, but flavorful. 0 Cost spells always make me nervous, so maybe you'd like to explain what could be done with this. First things that come to mind are cycling with Auctioneer and activating Kael'thas. Then it probably should cost 1 anyways since the formula seems to be "Cost of the spell = Cost of the token +1". Imitation is too complicated for my taste and I doubt that it qualifies because we're supposed to create a card that summons another minion when the buffed one dies (Demon had the same problem and checked with Shadows: their card is allowed, so yours is probably fine, too). System Update is my favorite of the bunch. It's flavorful and strong and a nice call back to that great card Zlliax. I would use a custom watermark though, since Zilliax isn't in Standard anymore and you shouldn't be able to summon a specific card that has rotated out. Since Zilliax is a named legendary card, you should also cut the "a" in the card text (Dinotamer Brann).
Wailor
Nice one! I like how it fits into Kobolds mechanically and in flavor. Balance is hard because you'd want to run it in Kathrena decks with King Krush and Charged Devilsaurs, but I think you're fine at 5. Well done!
Arkasaur
I like it. You should indeed add Rush to the card if it fits in the text box and try to find a second piece of art to be able to create a token, but other than that, you should be good to go. I'd personally use the spells art for the token and look for something with a rider (easier said than done, I know).
BloodMefist
Cool idea flavor-wise. The one thing I'm not happy with is the watermark on the Adventurer version. I think the Adventurers were a Wailing Caverns exclusive thing so I'd use the Barrens Miniset watermark for that card. It's a close call but I think I prefer the Silver Hand Recruit card because that is an archetype we've seen in Darkmoon Faire which is tied to Paladin and your card fits in nicely. The Adventurers weren't Paladin exclusive which isn't problematic in itself, but it's just something the other card has as a plus but this one hasn't. Does that make any sense?
Hordaki
I really like the pun and the Spell School tag. I don't get much Warrior vibes, but that's only a very small issue imho. What does confuse me a bit is the token. Will the buffed minion summon a Circus Amalgam? That's the only Amalgam we have in Standard right now. If so, you should write out its whole name. If not, you should add a token to make things a little more clear.
linkblade91
I'm really sorry for stepping on your toes with the Possession theme and for what it's worth I promise I didn't try to imitate or capture your card's flavor but came up with the idea of demonic possession as a special form of riding a mount by myself. That said, Heart of Felfire is a nice idea. Nothing to criticize from my side.
While I don't have the specific quote at disposal, Celestalon stated that at least two other Priest cards will fit nicely into the Shadow archetype: this without considering Neutrals and already existing support (in the end, we know that Shadow Priest is an aggressive deck, but we have little to no idea about how it will look like).
They also mentioned a little about mechs getting help and for some reason I thought of Dr. Boom. They aleady had the bomb mechanic so I hope it gets ramped up.
Gotta be bad. It's the same old crap where you jump through a lot of hoops and what you get for it isn't fast either. You go slow to go slower.
You'll be lucky to even play the 7/7 before the aggro deck eviscerates you. Pair this with the fact it's unlikely there will be a great enough pool of go-face damage spells and you are looking at a very poor pay off
I love Shadow Isles and I normally tend to root for the bad guys but Viego is just pathetic and the other champion's beside Tresh are just mind controlled thralls. So it's going to be sentinels for me.
Liked it, but minor nitpick is that Cariel mispronounced 'comrade' and Tamsin mispronounced 'scourge'.
Also, we've learned how Vardin ended up in the Stockades. And Tamsin's questline picks up after the end of the BoM. Gives some insight on what the the Mercs' questlines are.
I like the Hawkstrider much more. Kept the naming convention Blizzard was using for the new expansion, but might rename the minions to look less awkward. Also, either of these might be okay at 1-mana.
EDIT: Would making Rogue "+1/+1 and Deathrattle: Return this to your hand." be overpowered? In addition to bounce synergy, it effectively gives you a permanent 1/1 as it retains the Deathrattle of returning to your hand, which would be a great combo activator card. Rush is better suited to Warrior anyways.
I'm not sure which side to take. On the one hand, Viego is a crybaby pretty-boy edgelord, and I've always preferred to be a "good guy". However, he has Miss Fortune and Shyvana on his team: I played a lot of MF in League, and I like Dragon decks in Runeterra.
I think I have to give it to the Sentinels, because their board is really good, I already have the Dark Star skin for Shyv, plus MF didn't get a skin despite getting one in League.
This Book made me feel like a WoW movie (or series) based on these characters with an ultimate confrontation between the Roame sisters being the main connecting plot line could have been pretty damn sweet.

Hmm, we'll see if they're able to slow down the meta for the new expansion. Otherwise, the quests will go the way of the caravans and be unplayable.

First, second and third line is a different minions wich related with each other somehow. They are nearly unplayable in one deck.
[Game] Card Treasure Hunt (The Resurrection Attempt)
Is it a Choose One card? The first one needs Untapped Potential completed, the second gives Taunt and the third something else. So... Hidden Oasis?
