Changed Lilliandra a bit. People were telling me that it had too much Attack, so I changed that part of it. Someone also told me that it felt Priest-y, and since making it a Druid-Priest card was an idea I had, I went along with it.
Feedback (sorry it took a while to go do this)
Show Spoiler
Linkblade91 - Imposing Bark is kinda neat. Julia Celeste might be weak if only because it's likely to die to hard removal next turn and it doesn't really impact the board that much. The second version definitely does more.
BloodMefist - Carnival Rager is funny, although it might be too strong. 3 mana 6/6 is not anything to scoff at. Haunted Spirit fits into the "really weird" category to me, and cards like these are often very polarized as far as the scores go for most people.
KANSAS - Yeah, this was definitely OP at 0/5, and you made the right call by nerfing it.
DavnanKillder - I'm not a fan of Life-Binded Imp if only because its effect feels more like a Legendary than an Epic. Persistent Spirit had some problems as far as dying to damage and granting its stats. It would give a minion 0 Health since, well you know, it died. If it takes overkill though, then it would actually give negative Health to a minion, effectively damaging it. In this case, I am glad you changed it.
Hordaki - Well you've already submitted, so there's not much I can do. The only thing I would point out is that 5/1 is not a very productive statline for a Poisonous minion, and it feels a lot like Vilebrood Skitterer in the same set.
Neoguli - I already voiced before what I said about this card in the previous comp it was in and now, and I'm sticking to it. It's not a bad card, but it's not a card that will get high marks.
MenacingBagel - This card is… fine. And in my opinion, it's that. Just fine. It's not particularly exciting to me anyway, but the card is by no means bad or badly designed.
Wailor - This is actually kind of a cute idea.
Nirast - I think I just mostly have to say what others said on Discord.
Anchorm4n - I think I just prefer Soulciologist Malicia. This feels difficult to balance and very swingy as far as potential value. Destroying all your Soul Fragments is also not great because you lose the resource you've been working to make this whole game. Frostwing I definitely prefer. You didn't capitalize Freeze, but it otherwise looks really neat.
ChickyChick - Well you might get meme points because it's a Rager.
FungusABao - The big problem with A'tur I have is that it's an Un'Goro card that is also a dual-class card, a mechanic that did not exist yet. Just a Bark is okay, but the name is not particularly creative and almost feels intentionally boring to me.
Grumpymonk - Priest spells fluctuate in Cost quite a bit, and the randomness factor of Lightforged Priest might be frustrating. Lightforged is also the naming convention used by Pure Paladin cards. Statue of Elements seems better to me.
Alfi - You've already submutted, so I can't do anything. There are problems I have as far as Divine Shield not being written correctly, as well as the fact that you've put Rush and Lifesteal on a card with the Classic watermark, which does not fly with me. It also seems very OP to me.
Level of experience: I guess pretty high? I play mainly wild, I don´t find it hard to reach legend. I used to play a lot of MTG but don´t have time for that these days.
Looking for: I dont have friends (well, I do, but they dont play HS). So I can't complete 'Watch a friend' quests. I used to reroll them, but now I kind of want to finish those XP quests. I am not anti-social, but I am often on mobile and then it is really inconvenient to chat. I always tend to delete people I have friended randomly on ladder because I don´t know them, so I think it is nice with an introduction of who we are so I can remember who this friend with this random internet name is. Help me finish my watch quests and I´ll remember you when I roll the challenge quest. :) Cheers.

Since nobody seemed to like my card very much (including me), I'll save up the art for another time. I've heard you guys like Freeze Shaman, though. So what about this:
I've wanted to design a card with this Battlecry for quite some time and this seemed like a good opportunity. The idea is obviously to freeze the enemy board and hit them in the face or make a favorable trade next turn. 2 Health protects them from Jaina's Hero Power and 6 Attack at 3+1 mana makes it a Fireball with a body (if it survives). The Elemental tag seemed fine because of Violet Spellwing. I'm still not completely sure about the cost and the overload, so feedback would be very welcome.
Moar feedback from me (edited for Demon):
Show Spoiler
KANSAS: I actually like the idea of giving it windfury. It's very flavorful and I don't mind that it doesn't work without a combo card. Good idea!
ChickyChick: Nice meme card! It's pretty cool but you should use another watermark.
fungusABao: It's hard to decide between the two of them, but I prefer Just a Bark. That said, 4 mana 8/8 might be too much and both cards should have the same name. If you should go with A'tur: There's a typo in "opponent's" and the last word shouldn't stand alone in its line.
linkblade: Rush doesn't feel right on Imposing Bark but I still like it more than Julia Celeste. (This has nothing to do with her being a Paladin card and I'll cut the jokes, I'm sorry if I've upset you.)
Demon: Really cool idea, I like it! … but I like Remil even more. The art is super badass and while I usually have a strong aversion against nonexistent class combinations, this one fits like a glove. The nerf of the Attack was important and well done so all in all this will pretty surely receive 5 stars from me.
grumpymonk: I prefer the Priest card, which is a pretty neat idea. You should change the name, though. "Lightforged" has been Paladin exclusive so far.
Alfi: The idea is good enough, but there are a few quite similar cards in this thread already. If you should stick to it, Divine Shield has to be bold and you should change the watermark.
I’m pretty sure Turalyon still kills a minion even when it is being buffed by a Stormwind Champion, so it could just be a problem with Killmox, which is honestly par for the course at this point.
"Set health to x" description does not override aura effects, just stack on it. If you used Equality in a full board with a stormwind champion in it, only the chaimpion's health will be 1 (not affected by its own aura) while the others will be 2.
Thanks for all the great work. I won't apply probably although it sounds good. I am not a native speaker and more importantly I don't feel that I am proficient enough in HS or MTGA to produce content in the required quality on a constant basis. Despite me playing for years. I could however imagine writing a guest article in case an idea pops up in my head (should this ever be the case). :)
That said there are a lot of great people around here who could probably fit the offered roles neatly.
It's a visual bug, it's referencing the Chinese in-game currency that blizzard added specifically to get around lootbox laws
It's been going on for months, you're not the first one
I wouldn't take this as proof of anything, for some reason blizzard can't not add bugs to their game (such as when I have to restart to actually receive my weekly quest xp sometimes)
Known bug? i've never heard of it before toda
It's the reason outof.cards reposted their article from a year ago about the currency, because enough people kept asking "what's this?"

After reaching rank 8 i got this screen, i couldn't interact with it in any way that matters, i could move the slider and click the arrows but it didn't do anything from what i could tell. I was able to hit back to the main menu.

Edit: I ran some tests on Stormwind Champion and I was very wrong as the aura applies itself over the changed stats. I knew about Equality, but did not know whether Tuarlyon worked the same. I’m gonna test for other aura card as well to see how that works, like Tar Creeper and that card which gains attack when you hold a dragon
Wow, the deathrattle text keeps repeating every time something gets resolved, spent 2 minutes clicking through animations after a Felfire Potion hit the board...
I'm not a fan of Unbreakable Rager. If you could find an elegant way that it dies after reaching 0, it'd be okay, but the current solution of giving him "Can't Taunt" just doesn't feel natural to me.
Showstopper Drake is quite cool and I think it's well balanced. I'd try to find another artwork, since the current one is not very recognisable at first glance.
About your feedback, I don't think this artwork is currently in the game… No one else pointed it out and googling "hearthstone chest" didn't show this result. I might be wrong, though.

The card is fine, but it's a bit too bland to my taste.
DavnanKillder

Such an aggressive statline and effect seems a bit out of place in Priest. I'd give it to Hunter or Rogue, since they also have Deathrattle synergy but are more aggressive. If you decide it to give it to Hunter, I'd change the flavor, since ghosts don't really fit the class.

The initial artwork was very cool, so I'd stick with it (even if you're losing a pretty neat pun).
About the effect, most people seem to prefer the Armor one, so I recommend going with it (even if I'm the one who suggested changing it to Health in the first place)

The 0/3 statline can't participate, which is a shame because it's very elegant. I'd go with a plain 0/4 for 2 mana.

A'tur is good, but I wouldn't go with dual class for Un'goro.
I think Warrior is more fitting (their identity in Un'goro revolved around Taunts), but Warlock might be fitting because of the tar flavor.

I think the middle Julia Celeste is my favorite, but the fact that she is 11 Attack when her effect activates just triggers my round number OCD xD

Alfi
Show Spoiler
Although the card is very similar to Hordaki's, I think I like your card more, conceptually. It has several things to improve, however:
The "Shield" in "Divine Shield" should be written with capital S. That way, the keyword will be automatically bolded.
The artwork is very blurry. I'd try to find one with better resolution.
I feel like it should cost 6 or even 7 mana, since it does A LOT of stuff.
I'd change the Deathrattle to "Summon a 5/1 Magma Rager". Interacting with unofficial tribes has always felt weird to me, especially since it has only happened on non-collectible cards.
Since the flavor is full Rager, I'd change the name to Goro, God of Rage.
So sad they aren't even acknowledging our existence. I hope it blows up in their face.
Well, technically, they are acknowledging our existence. They're just making it clear they don't find our current expenditures to be substantial enough.
"Whenever this attacks a minion set the defender's attack and health to 3." That should set it to 3 no matter what. Seems reasonable that should override auras. They just forgot to code it in.
Well no. The problem is the cost of the hero power. Raza Priest was not a tier 1 deck for many months when Raza got nerfed.
If the cost of the hero power is truly the problem, tell me any priest hero power that would be broken costing 0 mana that isn't Shadowreaper Anduin's HP. Because as far as I can tell Raza was absolutely dead while nerfed.
I'd prefer they deal with Anduin (make it deal less damage, let it not target face; whatever) and allow raza to at least combine with something like galakrond.
Or idea ive read few months ago, make it refresh on only minions or only spells but noth both for Anduin
I was reading through the comment session of a recent video of Zeddy where he talks about the cards that he believe should be nerfed and i saw a guy make a suggestion that will save both cards. He suggested that Raza's effect should be this instead: "Your first Hero Power this turn costs 0". I do believe that he misspelled the text and that he meant "Your first Hero Power each turn costs 0". This solves all the issues without killing either card. It weakens the OTK potential of the deck, it prevents infinite damage OTKs from randomly generated Coldarra Drakes, it keeps Raza's functionality for every other Hero Power and it could even prevent potential future abuse with other cards or Hero Powers through Auctionmaster Beardo. This seems to be the perfect fix for the whole problem. I still highly dislike Shadowreaper Anduin but both cards should be fine with this change.
With the ranked reset to start the month, you will see those players for a few days. Then they will rise up the ranks quickly and you should start to face more appropriately ranked players.
It's been almost year and people still don't know what mmr is or how it works...
