Here's a slightly more creative approach. What if every class got their own Watch Post?
It triggers at the start of your turn for synergies with Varden Dawngrasp and Snap Freeze (plus Shatter in Wild). Do you like this more than Green Rag?

cydonianknight - Hushing Librarian is probably my favorite card so far. Great flavor, very well done!
Nirast - I prefer Headmaster's Arcane Focus. It's a quite cool mechanic, really nice idea. That said, I'm not a big fan of the art and the name of the card.
DestroyerR - As I've already told you on Discord, it's a neat card. It rewards paying attention and I wouldn't mind having to keep track of the revealed cards in my head at all.
linkblade - I really like it when you post goofy ideas :) Nice one!
grumpymonk - I prefer the Arcane Watchtower. Very effective and very evil. Hits the Watch Post flavor spot on.
Demon - Sheep Canon is the more interesting card and one of my two favourites so far. Really cool design. Minor "but": you should a) consider making this a Hunter card because it might end up very broken in Mage and Paladin (Librams!) and b) create a token if you can.
Wailor - First of all, please add a bit of lore if you want us all to appreciate your card. I take your word for those guys being iconic but I have no idea who they are. That said, I think the lower Health version is a safer bet since the effect is super strong. It's also cooler to have three 3s on the card ;-)
Nah I don't think they're the same, Cariel and Tamsin both have the white streak in their hair. Judging by how Cariel is alive and has it I imagine that Tamsin had it whilst alive as well.
I think that's because those two are supposed to be images from their lifes to further illustrate the story. Kurtrus is shown abandoning the Illidari and Xyrella does motherly things
My gold reserves have been seriously hit by all the card backs and heroes and whatnot, if the pictures are any indication lol. I don't even have enough left over for the mini-set; need to collect some more!
Strange. Rokara’s three pictures match the three hero portraits that you get in the battle pass. But the other two heroes in the battle pass only match pictures 1 and 3. Portrait #2 is different for Xyrella and Kurtrus.
Not all of them, Kurtrus, Rokara, and Xyrella's first and third arts are the hero portraits from this expansion's Tavern Pass. Presumably we'll get portraits for the other mercenaries this way over the next two expansions (though that does seem to only account for 9 out of the 10.)
Bru'kan: a few totems short of a whole shaman with A GIANT TURKEY LEG. Just strolling around the Faire, eating turkey legs, probably stepping up to Cariel Roame's mallet whacking bell whatever game (that hammer is ridiculous).
These characters are fun, and their art is awesome.
These look like they correspond to the Level 1, 2, 3 versions of the characters in Mercenaries mode. I'm hoping they reveal more info on that mode soon, it sounds really unique and exciting so far.
Also, Judicious Junior was Tamsin Roame all along? She looks just like her. Wow, I didn't expect such a reveal for an otherwise quite boring card.
These Artworks are surely for the mercenaries mode. Man I can't wait to actually see some gameplay of that mode, hopefully we get some news about it soon.
Wailor: I think this needs just a little bit of a re-tune on the effect, perhaps making it more like Chain Lightning (Rank 1). I would definitely stick with the reduced statline of your second version though. Overall, pretty decent card.
Demonxz95: Overall, I prefer Sheep Cannon to Mini Rag, the flavour of the card is just hilarious and it provides a pretty cool ping effect for classes that need it. Possibly too easily abused by Librams in Paladin, but nowhere near as toxic as Pen Flinger so it's probably fine.
grumpymonk: Congrats on the win for the last competition! As for these cards, I'm not a massive fan of taxation effects (hence my vitriol towards Far Watch Post atm) so I'm not a lover of your second card. As for the Dreadmist Watch Post, I think it's pretty good. I might lean towards changing the trigger to playing a minion rather than just a card, just for minor flavour reasons but idk. Neat card.
linkblade91: Absolute ridiculousness and I love it! Honestly not got anything negative to say about this, it's great.
DestroyerR: I like the effect, great flavour match. The only thing for me is that the art doesn't necessarily look like a watch post and is more like a full blown mage tower if not castle so maybe consider changing the art? I've found a few pieces if you want me to DM them to you.
anchorm4n: I kinda like this version of Rag, but it doesn't feel particularly unique tbh. Also I'm uncertain if this was intended or not, but with the way it's currently worded, you would keep the +8 Attack permanently, so maybe add a "this turn only" condition to it?
Nirast: I much prefer the Rusted Harvester out of the two cards. The only thing for me is that the Armor effect seems pretty pointless and makes the card text box look a bit overcrowded imo. Love the flavour though and I enjoy a good Treant card.

Smart move by Blizzard, selling an alternative skin for the most played class atm. They can then nerf the class next week lol

looks like that's what they're going for, considering the fairly androgynous appearance and all.

So Varden's gender is non-binary? I can't help but notice the repeated use of they-pronouns.

And isn't Tamsin Roame Judicious Junior?

but they dont have special animations/Board plates, Kurtrus uses the same standard board plate as Illidan.

I might actually skip him even for the gold, I don't like the skin too much :/ But great that they are bringing them back one by one ;-)
