OK draw engine at 2 mana. Great at 5 mana (essentially a corrupted insight). Not very useful at 10 mana, as you may have already drawn all the cards you need, unless druid gets a lot of beast support.
So, what Blizzard is telling, at least with the rank 3 part of Flurry (Rank 1) is that, after turn 10, the deal 1 damage portion of Cone of Cold is worth 3 mana, when a similar card like Shooting Star is 1 mana.
Why is this spell not 1 mana in the first place is beyond me.
If this were a Hunter card, it would be amazing. For Druid, meh. Druid already has so many ways to draw cards and cheat mana, this just seems underwhelming in that category. Plus, since you can't got the full discount on this until you're at 10 mana, you will likely have drawn the beasts you want to discount already (unless you have managed to optimize the aforementioned mana cheat to reach 10 mana on turn 4).

Freeze mage is already an annoying archetype and gains more support with a 0 mana spell. The best ranked spell so far, in my opinion. Great trigger for Mozaki also.
It's a semi-targetable Hand of A'dal, with the condition that it has to be a Taunt minion. While not amazing, there are certain Taunts availavle for Druid that are seriously mana efficient, most notably Corrupted Dreaming Drake and other Corrupt shenanigans.
However, this is a win more card and, since Druids have virtually no way to interact with the opponent's board outside of punching them with their face and minion trading, a potential Taunt Druid needs stabilizing tools more than win more cards.

Natural Evolution is my favorite one, but I'm not too fond of the artwork. Find a prettier one and you should be good to go.

Herald of Light is quite cool. Herald of the Flame is too similar to Jan'alai, the Dragonhawk, as you said.

I like Arrogant Gnome, but it's true it could use a more fancy name. What about Frostburn Gnome or something like that?
Also, and more importantly, Ice spells do not exist. They are called Frost spells.

The idea is fine, but if I'm not mistaken, it would work almost the same if it just read "Add a copy to your hand and discard it at the end of your turn". Dunno, I'm not too fond on using a fringe mechanic to do something that could be done with more orthodox means. If you decide to go with that wording anyways, I'd suggest making it a Legendary, so that the uniqueness of the effect is at least justified.

The second version is more interesting, but I think it's too weak. I'd reduce its cost to 1 or bump the cost reduction effect to 2.
Also, its new name is Totem Totem, which I believe is not intentional :_D

Tech cards are not usually very well received. Yours also has a weird design, since your opponent is choosing to cast the Nature spell knowing it will be Countered.
All in all, I'd try a different idea.

I think I prefer the Ogre Archmagi, but I'd just get rid of the return to your hand effect. It doesn't fit Mage (that's more of a Rogue thing) and it doesn't work in terms of flavor (Ogres aren't the most Shadowstep-y creatures of the Warcraft universe).

Searing Summoner is very cool, although the word "spell" in her text should be in lower case.
Hellscape doesn't qualify for this comp, unfortunately.

Both are interesting, but I think I prefer Merlin. I'd suggest a minor improvement: changing his name to Merlin, Element Master. This way, the text won't look so small.
Magicless Armorsmith is also fine, but I'd try finding an artwork which fits Mage a little more.
Seems right between Keleseth and Mistcaller, with added board interaction. I think the Holy part is crucial here for a chance to see play - if there's good support for Holy spells, this could easily work.

This is a pretty solid buff, though not OP. The burst potential with a board of murlocs is huge.
New Rogue Minion - Oil Rig Ambusher
Good stats and great effect if drawn when usable
New Mage Spell - Flurry (Rank 1)
0 mana card. 5/5.
Nothing more to say.
Mozaki, Master Duelist
New Hunter Minion - Kolkar Pack Runner
Good card, especially for the now rotated quest hunter... However it may be good to create huge scavenging hyenas
New Hunter Minion - Kolkar Pack Runner
I don't care if Lock and Load ends up still being meme status, I will play the sh*t out of the deck because of this card.
New Hunter Minion - Kolkar Pack Runner
Too bad Unseal the Vault is rotating, but I might try it with this in Wild. This might also make Scavenging Hyena playable again.

Always solid to have tutor draw.

Cheap. Cool effect. Hunter has a lot of cheap spells.
Really good card.

Cool mechanic.
Hadronox druid would be pleased.

More support to taunt druid. It never ceases to exist.

You don't really need more clowns you get up to 4 clowns in clown druid. Having more wouldn't really help you. The strongman combo is great though.

I’m not a fan of Murloc decks, but I am a fan of Murloc puns. So on the whole, I’m ok with this card. I hope it doesn’t get much support, though :
