The Saga cards for this set are really cool, stuff you can build around, and flavorful. Most of them I can sort of flesh out a basic story that's going on based on the abilities and name.
Haunting Voyage is pretty neat as well. I think that's the first one we've seen with a foretell effect and cost that's greater than the straight mana cost. Only trouble with this card (and any reanimation cards) is there is so much exile from graveyard or exile from play cards going around it's tough to build a strategy around it. Anything that has black has pretty much started running a few copies of Cling to Dust. Esper Doom exiles all your best cards. I sort of wish there would be some tech card that returns all cards exiled to your graveyard or something like that.
no she didnt die she just stood there doing nothing XD, once on those box cases she died and keep casting the box after the box she ended her casting .( no more mages spells and was her first too), i will come back whe a get a screencap, but take note shuckie she isnt working full time whe the box comes up she says nope job is done XD.
Hmm. Did Solarian die during the Puzzle Box? I don't remember whether she follows the rule that she stops if she dies (some similar cards do, others don't).
Overall, an interesting class concept, having a unit that you can have only one off, but can be buffed throughout the game and can be summoned back with the obtained buffs is a cool mechanic, but i feel like at least from the buff cards you showed us, you are greatly overestimating the value of them, pretty much all of them could cost less, the 3 mana on the hero power alone makes this quite a drawback. I do like the mechanic tho.
Freeze being an integral part of DK is no surprise and you did design cards around it well enough overall.
Rune charge mechanic is quite confusing, i like a mechanic build around weapons, but i think yours need a bit more work.
Speaking of, while the class overall feels quite cool, the actual card making skills leave plenty of room for improvement, lots of "custom" wording when there are cards in the game that you can take the proper wording from and some cards that do basically the same as already existing cards (Freezing Elemental > Frost Elemental, Howling Hatchet > Death's Bite etc).
i dont have screenshot evidence but i will try to next time, is such a rare thing to happen that i was curious if it was a bug or not ,but i know she stoped after the box fog ends and she was at her second spell so i am pretty sure she fails everytime { it hapened other times but the first one i remember more clearly because i lost hard after the solarian box XD}.
Your deck doesn't have any way to tutor out the Slate or Toxmonger, which kind of defeating the point of the deck is it? Since the rest of it is clunky without them. Have you thought about adding Stitched Tracker into the deck? How about Hunter's Mark?
Okay. This is a rather interesting class. First of all, all of your art is on point! They all fit WoW / Hearthstone world (an upside of making a canonical class).
Rune Charge seems to be a very interesting mechanic. All of the weapon centric class (Rogue / Warrior) are more focus on increasing the stat of the weapon, with only Shaman is the exception with their new card, so I think this an interesting mechanic worth exploring
Your Hero Power is way too weak. Having cap the amount of Ghoul at 1 and it can't attack heroes, I think that it is fine at 2 mana. 3 mana is just kind of too much since the control class can just ignore the Ghoul until they draw into their board clear. Aggro deck can just ignore it and hit face. The only thing that it can give trouble to is probably mid-range deck since they focus on board control, but the 3 mana kind of too much to keep them in check. It also need the Hero Power text at the start.
Your Core set has serious problem. Basic cards do not have rarity, they don't have a Legendary and especially don't have your class's keyword. That means Risen Footman, Moriccalas and Runic Scourge cannot be Basic cards. Also, they don't have tech card like Mind Freeze as well as they don't have Deathrattle like Howling Hatchet. It'd be fine if you plan this to be a Classic set in the model of the other 9 classes, but since you said you have the Demon Hunter model you have to move those cards to the "Expansion" set.
These are fundamental problems. I'd get into the specific cards balance when these problems are fixed.
I seriously recommend you reading this post to a guide for making custom Basic set: https://outof.cards/forums/fan-creations/custom-hearthstone/76-guide-to-making-a-basic-set-for-custom-classes
This is surprisingly accessible in comparison to Hearthstone's usual monetization, but let's not forget that it will be a 15$/2000g increase to the price of each rotation.
I'd like to see less cards in the initial expansion or at least less legendaries in both. I can see why they'd like to introduce legendaries; they're unique one-offs that are more fun to design and more fun to collect. But an easy solution would be a new class of card - a one-copy restricted 'promotional' that you can craft for the price of an epic. Anyway, epics are often more fun and deck-defining than legendaries are, so I wouldn't mind more of them either.
It would make the game more accessible, but I'm honestly not so sure I'd enjoy it more. The fun of collecting things is real - you pick up a new legendary halfway through the cycle and that makes the card more exciting. You build a deck around it and enjoy it for a bit. Getting all the cards at once would spoil that feeling.
Plus, given recently-added incentives like the Darkmoon Coin for collecting all cards in the set, I don't think they'll change that model soon.

I haven't noticed that. Do you have any screenshot evidence? Solarian's battlecry in the game history bar should show all the spells cast by both her and Puzzle Box, so you should be able to count 15 spells if she's working normally and casts Puzzle Box once.
I don't think there is a visual cue that Puzzle Box has ended and it gets back to Solarian's own spells, which can make it tricky to tell if you aren't counting.

Totally forgot about the Tracker. It could definitely prove dividence instead of maybe Scavenger's Ingenuity.
