Off of feedback, I did decide to make an alternate version of Dryad of Duskwood. I personally prefer the first version, but this alternate version was worth it to make.

The cards looks fine. I kinda compare it to EVIL Totem and it seems like something Team 5 would print. I do know that you want to change the artwork, but I feel like I should point out that the current artwork is already used by Vitality Totem.

This card seems a bit problematic in ways to me. Class tech cards are generally frowned upon, and this is the very definition of a class tech card. It's completely useless against classes/decks that don't have any Nature spells and borderline broken against classes/deck that do. One other problem with the card is that you can simply just not swing the weapon and wait for your opponent to cast Nature spells. There is also a grammar mistake in "Lose a Durability" which should be "Lose 1 Durability".

This is a really cute idea, but it seems too impractical and weak at 3 mana. Honestly, you could probably make this 1 mana and it wouldn't be too broken.

It's a bit difficult to tell how practical this card is not knowing what all spells will count as Arcane spells, but this is a pretty neat idea.
Deckbuilding-restriction is kinda tough, but if it's the same powerlevel as the old Kazakus, it should be worth it! I assume that the effects will be different, but somewhat similar (like draw x cards, Taunt/Armor giving you protection, ...).
Also, think about this: You always get a minion! The old version sometimes flops, and doesn't affect the board enough. This one on the other hand will at least always give you a form of board presence.
It's going to be very hard to get anything to stick on board against Tempo Mage, and if you do, it will probably just get frozen. (You just know they have more Frost spells to reveal!)
My problem is that we don't know if there's going to be a Mysterious Challenger-type minion to just dump all the Secrets before you turn them into a critical mass of Soldiers. Turning the Secrets into Soldiers also ironically removes the board-centric protection that the secrets provide.
I had the "brilliant" idea of making an Even Reno Mage deck, it will probably be a midrange or control deck, I just need to find a way to win the game now
It's a nice swing, but doesn't this have anti-synergy with Oh My Yogg!? Like, one of its main uses is protect your board from AoE, but that's not possible if it got turned into a minion, leaving you open to big removal.
I guess it's could be good, if there's not much AoE this exp.

New Neutral Minion - Kazakus, Golem Shaper
At last, a worthy retrain...
Won't go into every deck, but I'm certain that classes like Rogue or Priest will make great use of this card.
New Neutral Minion - Kazakus, Golem Shaper
Oooh, yeah!

Blizzard Reveals Two New Forged in the Barrens Cards for Mage - The Legendary Mordresh Fire Eye & Reckless Apprentice
fun fact: Even mage was one of the first semi-popular witchwood decks on week 1.
Blizzard Reveals Two New Forged in the Barrens Cards for Mage - The Legendary Mordresh Fire Eye & Reckless Apprentice
should be, Spirit of the Dragonhawk also counts towards Jan'alai, the Dragonhawk
New Mage Minion - Reckless Apprentice
Some built in aoe is neat. If there is more support for hero power stuff, this will get used for sure. IT's usable as is though.
New Mage Minion - Mordresh Fire Eye
I think people will fiddle with this, but I don't see it being consistent unless there is more support to enable it.

This year it is going to be about Hero Power for mage then...
Blizzard Reveals Two New Forged in the Barrens Cards for Mage - The Legendary Mordresh Fire Eye & Reckless Apprentice
Real question is whether the Hero Power damage from Reckless Apprentice counts toward the requirement for Mordresh Fire Eye?
New Mage Minion - Reckless Apprentice
Ras Frostwhisper, Firebrand, Reckless Apprentice ...

New Mage Minion - Reckless Apprentice
Hero power mage might become something
New Paladin Minion - Cannonmaster Smythe
True, that's a good consideration.
New Paladin Minion - Cannonmaster Smythe
Wild secret pally gonna rock

Reckless would be VIP in Odd Mage

My first idea, I may change art and flavour for something more fitting to the effect.

New Mage Minion - Mordresh Fire Eye
So many people not paying attention to the card that was revealed at the exact same time.
No, against most decks it will not be hard to meet the condition for this battlecry. Not by a long shot.
Against Control Warrior, maybe a bit tougher, but every archetype has its weak spots.
How Forged in the Barrens' Kazakus, Golem Shaper's Custom Golems Work
aha, so kazakus is a golem shaper now
New Mage Minion - Mordresh Fire Eye
This is how a 10 Mana card should look like. Deals with the board and develops a body.
New Mage Minion - Reckless Apprentice
By itself, this card seems great. And if it is effective in enabling the new legendary, this would be the key card in enabling a hero-power Mage.
New Paladin Minion - Cannonmaster Smythe
I'm not too sure...

New Hunter Minion - Sunscale Raptor
This might look ordinary, but since hunter got many discover-from-deck cards, this could actually be broken once buffed.
