Nirast - I hope the misspelling of "Misterious Wildkin" is intentional :P I think the card is very interesting, but the payoff makes it one-dimensional: why would I ever choose the Frenzy, when the Deathrattle is guaranteed to net me 8 Armor? It would need to be something that benefits the Wildkin too, to warrant its survival. The Drake's flavor of coughing up the eaten minion is amusing, as is the flavor of the Crocolisk eating a minion, but both of them suffer from being kind of boring and/or obvious designs. Give the Wildkin a more nuanced payoff and you've got a strong contender (I think).
anchorm4n - Please don't submit the Angry Chicken variant lol. It's silly, and you don't want meme jokes to be potentially viable (and this is, with Scavenger's Ingenuity) or they become annoying. The regular version (without Misha) is fine as is.
grumpymonk - I'm not really a fan of either art, to be honest, but the one on the right is better IMO. I also agree with anchorm4n that this the stats as-is are too strong, because the Frenzy will negate the downside and just make for a flat 3/5/5.
KANSAS - It should say "Return this to your hand", for maximum clarity, but beyond that I like it. It could maybe stand to be a 2/2/4 because Belligerent Gnome exists and this is a class card; just a thought.
cydonianknight - It's perfectly fine from a mechanical perspective. It's just…kind of uninteresting, to me at least. The DH has so many tools in its arsenal for gaining Attack, as well as Rush minions, that adding the two together doesn't feel overly special. I could see this being a winner, so please don't be discouraged, but I'm not overly excited about the idea if I'm being frank :/
Wailor - I've never cared for cards that attempt to purposefully play into the Taunt + Stealth interaction. It needs to exist to keep from being busted, but doing it on purpose just doesn't interest me *shrugs*
Demonxz95 - I still wonder if your card is too strong with that high of Health, because you're practically guaranteed to pull something…but then cards like Psychic Conjurer exist that give you a card automatically so I don't know. I also don't like how there are so little ways to escape the situation within a reasonable cost for the effort.
Given that all the previous heroes were available for gold from the start, I doubt this will be the case this time, hence the 7 dollars price. They are testing the waters for the right price.
I think the Wildkin is more interesting, but I'm not sure 8 Armor is worth the complexity for this. If the Crocolisk's Battlecry doesn't trigger, its Frenzy does nothing.

anchorm4n: I like the first 2 versions of the cards flavour-wise, but I think the second one is more balanced. You should make the mama a 3/3, though.
grumpymonk: It's no 4 mana 7/7, but it's still a really good minion. I don't really see a world where this doesn't trigger it's frenzy the following turn, except when your opponent has no minion. I'd stat it as a 4/4, or make it 4 mana. I prefer the first art.
cydonianknight: Pretty great with the Rush, and fairly balance, sing as you can't usually gain more than 4 Attack.
linkblade91: I like the Hero. It has a place in both a Frenzy and Big archetype, making it very versatile. Edit: Your updated spell is also pretty good.
Wailor: Love the flavor on this one! Card seems good, but I'm not sure how many know Stealth cancels Taunt.
Demonxz95: Looks ok on paper, but there's a few interactions that may not be clear. I'm going to assume that cards that give your hero attack won't give you anything. And Hero Powers are still 'cards' in the eyes of the game. Some people might deduct points from it.
It specifies only Frenzy minions can be summoned, allowing you to use other minions like Overlord Saurfang.
It costs 5 instead of the original 6 because Frenzy minions tend to be smaller than Gather Your Party's intended outcome...and GYP is kind of bad anyway. It's only possible to mana-cheat one minion (Taurajo Brave), and that's only by a single point of mana.
Icathia* for Zilean, I think that's what you meant though.
Judging by the fact that Chip is a Targon card and the first three reveals were said to be related to the champions, Malphite will be put in Targon. And we're definitely getting Malphite now due to the trailer.
I bought her at $10 and found her worth it; still use her to this day, despite owning other characters like Sylvanas. Only thing I don't care for is her death scream.
Thanks once more KANSAS. Half the credit for the card goes to you by now :) I feel most comfortable with the 2/1/3 into a 3/3 right now, but I'll decide tomorrow. While we're at it, I'm also a little tempted to go full Angry Chicken with this version:
It needs some set-up, but Hunter certainly has the means to pull this off.
That's it from the Bear family, thanks for bearing with me :P
APM mage is quite fun and interactive. they played on TURN 4, 10 mana worth of minions and which were double sorcerers flamewaker and luna to kill me with a full board and and almost full health as they played more than 20 cards. ON TURN 4
This probably isn't the thread for this, but I don't think it deserves its own thread so yeah.
I have a lengthy, drawn-out priest mirror with a guy playing that deck with the buffs and the bloodweavers. I wind up winning in the late game. Guy sends a friend request, then says: "Sethekks in bottom 4 (cards). How gay."
*blink* really dude? I mean, really? In 2021? I'm picturing this guy as 46 years old, still wearing his baseball backwards or something - I don't even know how to respond. He unfriends and vanishes before I can even think of a reply.
Monks and i would like to see how they show the other races than pandas implemented in the class. I mean, I hope it won't be super-themed around only pandas since there are other races that can be monks like humans, dwarves, night elves etc.
And yet, we don't have Chen Stormstout in hearthstone, even after those years; isn't it a bit weird ? I guess we will have him finally as a hero portrait rather than a card. Don't having him as a legendary card was always makes it suspicous as monk class is coming or not at the first place.
We have him in a way in Hearthstone, as pandaren brewmaster cards depicts him.
Like how shatetred sun cleric shows lady Liadrin in the art.
We already delved into the alternate DK heros back in KotFT. Monks would add a bit of flavor if there would be another class. I don't see Blizzard opening up the door to another class anytime soon given that DH hasn't had anything fall into the Wild format yet... which means it is still really in it's infancy.
Pandas can just gtfo... they are the reason i quit wow back in the day, an april fools joke that got a whole damn expansion to satisfy kung fu panda kids... nope bring me more DK's and nothing else!

Man if I only liked playing Hunter :D
Still waiting for Lazul to come back...

New graveyard mechanics could be implemented for DK's. And a new minion type to synergize as well: Undead!

Would You Rather See Monks or Death Knights as a Playable Class in Hearthstone?
I'm more curious about what their Hero Power will be?
My best guess:
Death Knight : 2 mana cost, Summon 1/1 skeleton knight, give it +1/+1 if summoned.
Monk: 2 mana cost, Meditate, give 1 extra mana next turn only.
Any new classes is always welcomed, as it will add more variants to the game, even though it will be much more harder to balance the game.
