While I agree there is space for a few extra/different lines of dialogue, interactions with other heroes would be a bit odd when applied to a younger version of her but not the normal skin. Surely the young Jaina knows very few other heroes beyond Arthas Menethil?
Long story short, most if Zeph's errors arise from not knowing card text beyond keywords, so I doubt he even knows Ice Block exists. He only knows what to offer because the devs have given him end points for his decision tree.
Not that I'm rushing to defend a quest mage player, but if I was one of them I'd also be calling bs that there's a card out there that is not only anti-secret tech, but also anti-anything tech for the frankly tiny deck-building restriction of making a singleton deck in Wild, which already has multiple other massive payoff cards.
In Standard he is like giving a crutch to someone with a twisted ankle; in Wild the person is already top level athlete in perfect condition. I have to think maybe the athlete was doing just fine without the crutch, and isn't giving it enough credit when it helps him win a race he had not prepared for...
The 1-drops aren't that great on their own, but they are needed because of Blighted Caretaker. You cannot afford to miss having fodder for the Caretaker. Possibly, though, I could drop the entire package of Blighted Caretaker, Cursed Keeper and Hapless Aristocrat for something else.
The Rogue/Demon Hunter combo was easy to choose as it has some many potential cool cards. I settled for this as it make use of typical keywords for each class and they both love weapons. Feedback appreciated! I know hero stealth if very powerful, but Outcast effects are supposed to be powerful and it's balanced by the fact that you'll lose the stealth if you attack directly after it's played.
EDT: F***, of course it's supposed to have the Scholomance waterstamp. Ok for submitting anyway?
Reduced the card text on the defender and came out with a new card. Not sure if Arcane Blessings would be better as a Mage/Priest card. Could also modify it to be "Cast a random spell from your class on every minion". This way paladins almost always get buffs and mages almost always get damage spells.
Nice to see how much is going on here this week. Thank you for your feedback! Here's more from me:

I liked your Street Magician, I thought the art was very fitting. It would have fitted nicely into a MSoG theme. Your new card is cool, it's very flavorful. You might consider switching the card borders with regards to the discussion about Demon's card.

I'd keep the initial art, the orange beard looks so cool. For the effect, I prefer the second version that grants buffs this turn only, but raise the cost to 3 mana. It might not be warranted, but the thought of a King Krush with windfury will probably scare lots of people. You should avoid that imho.

This looks dangerous in both classes but more so in mage I think. You should change the watermark, the rest looks fine to me. Nice idea with the art rating, even if I ended up in the last place. Greetings from a fellow German ;-)

I like Edwin very much, please don't drop him! The second (Combo only) version looks better to me. One thing you should consider if you haven't already are the Hero Powers. For Rogue, I would expect "give your … weapons +1/1" NOT to buff weapons from their Hero Powers (which is fine if it was your intention not to do that). Same goes for Paladin's Silver Hand Recruits. I might be mistaken, but to affect minions and weapons generated by Hero Powers, spells and so on, you could use "have" instead of "give". Maybe I'm wrong with this and you've probably considered the thought already, but I wanted to share it just in case. I'd be interested in your opinion about this no matter what.

The 3 mana version looks more appealing to me, since you'd probably want to run this in a swarm deck. Nice work!

I think the card is too strong for a one drop. I'd imagine settling for the middle ground and make it a 2/2/3 would be fine. I also want to say that I admire your quest to help Hunter conquer the winner's gallery and I'll join you in your efforts whenever I'm able to come up with something useful.
Something interesting I found out while playing a similar deck to this is that 1 drops aren't as good as I thought they were. Namely Hapless Aristocrat. Sometimes I find myself just skipping turn 1 Barkbeast because I have a Mistwraith and Risen Mists in Hand so that I can have 2 3/2s with fearsome on the open attack. So I think that you can cut 2 Hapless Aristocrats for something else.
Then you really, really have to listen to Daughter of the Sea! It's one of the best pieces of Warcraft media ever.
If you don't know what's happening, it's Jaina remembering her father. She let him get killed by orcs, and her people think of her as a traitor. And now she has to return to them to ask help for the Alliance.
A full board of dragons/celestials would actually make it cost 12 less, since it's reduced by 2 for each dragon/celestial. So, it's theoretically possible for the card to cost 3, but that would never happen, since the game would have ended before that kind of situation could happen.
But yeah, @OP - it literally says on the card that it's enemies. And since the card is the Champion spell of Aurelion Sol, you could have clicked on the opponent's deck, clicked their Aurelion Sol, and clicked over to his Champion spell to read the card text, even if there was no Sol on the board.

Maybe something like this:
-3x Hapless Aristocrat
-3x Blighted Caretaker
-3x Cursed Keeper
+3x Frenzied Skitterer
+3x Arachnoid Horror (to go with Elise) OR Fading Memories (to trigger Nightfall)
+1x Doombeast
+2x They Who Endure (to go with dying things) OR Haunted Relic (to go with Kalista)

$10 is a high cost for a shitty skin (even in adventure skin are better) and 5 packs!

Some custom lines against certain heroes would be a good start.

I mean, it still jaina after all. I don't know what other lines she could say that are related to this skin.
Wow, It's A Nomi Priest in 2020
I got a golden Nomi from packs recently, and I wanted to play it before dusting it... This is the deck I was looking for!

Off-topic but patch related: I can't find a topic of the wild pack bundle that just became available. I want to read people discussing its worth :P

Also, the reason why you found Doombeast to be lackluster I feel should be Neverglade Collector. They both do the same thing but Doombeast is harder to counter than Neverglade Collector, but Neverglade Collector can single-handedly end games.

The first one's on sale so its safe to say that you don't get the portraits itself for finishing the adventure.
