FWIW, I used this deck to beat the first couple of bosses in the Outland "Trial by Felfire" challenges, did it on the first try for each of them. Might not be so good against all the bosses, but "hold out until you've finished the quest, then go crazy" seems pretty solid. (I used a Year of the Dragon Quest Rez Priest deck for almost all the heroic Galakrond's Awakening bosses.)
I appreciate any and all content they put on the game, but as i mainly play against bots to do the dailies i don't see myself making much use of this one
I was thinking you can always use minions to do that, like Potion Vendor or Amber Watcher or spells. I think the hero version is a bit too easy and it would require the least effort to use the card making it a bit of an auto-include in all decks.
My favorite salt is coursely ground sea salt. The larger granules make it taste much more potent than normal table salt while actually having less sodium.
Many foodies will insist on pink Himalayan sea salt, but don't be fooled--there is nothing nutritionally or texturely different from pink Himalayan and other sea salts. The pink coloring is due to mineral impurities, and what is essentially a marketing ploy to imply its better / "prettier" than normal sea salt drives its price higher.
I'm a cook and honestly most salt isn't very different. Table salt is lower grade than most and shouldn't be used for cooking, but all the other fancy salts react with the food the same way.
Of the decorative salts all have their place I find the charcoal black salts to be particularly striking in garnishing dishes.
No wild decks allowed and no extra deckbuilding slot. Like, seriously? First they don't include deck slots for demon hunter and now I have to delete decks to even clear quests?

I am really torn about how to properly balance my idea. Some say that the requirement is too easy, some say it is too hard. I based the balance on the requirement of Jan'alai, the Dragonhawk with the caveat that Ragnaros, Lightlord is quite weak compared to the Firelord version so the requirement had to be a bit less strict. Jan'alai also was printed during the Baku meta so the requirement was pretty much always met by turn 7.
So, now I have 3 options for the card and I want to see what card I should choose. I will go in the order of balance I think is best suited.
Please help me out if any of you have a suggestion regarding what I should pick
I'd say the hero version makes the most sense since you typically don't heal minions unless you use the Priest Hero Power, which you obviously won't have in Paladin.

Two reasons: 1- Rain of Toads were the one i was going to put, but the card ended up too wordy
I was afraid of that, when I suggested it. It's too bad: I liked Rain of Toads because it gave each of the spells a different purpose, whereas now you have an overlap in the damage cards. Still, I like it :)
Once again you guys surprise me. Didn't expected such aproval over Wether Forecast, thanks for the feedback. But about the use of Blizzard in it, i really didn't wanted change it, since a Blizzard is an actual climatic condition, but since there were lots of requests to change it, i've replaced Blizzard with... Volcano! Why Volcano do you ask me? Two reasons: 1- Rain of Toads were the one i was going to put, but the card ended up too wordy. 2- Healing Rain and Volcano are both from the Year of the Mammoth, so putting them together makes the card more realistic. Also, thats the same reason why i've decided to cut the second favorite: Earthquake. Hope you guys like the new version, and now my feedback.

Demonxz: I like it, but i would like it more if it costed (2) and had lower stats. Whirlkick Master was 2 mana and even yet it rarelly triggered its effect ( at least from my Arena experience), so a 2/2 or 2/3 stat line and a (2) cost would be better IMO.
Xarkkal: Yeah, 4 cost seens more fair and realistic. Removing Rush would just make it a little less insane, at 4 it would be at the same power level as Hyena Alpha, or maybe just a little bit higher. In general, i like it.
Nirast: Good callback to Blood of the Ancient One, i like it, but you probably should remove the line break after "into".
Grayghost: I don't know, Gift of the Wild is pretty bad even when generated, most of the time it i'll be just a 5/5 with Taunt. At about Power of the Wild or Wild Growth? It i'll make it less flavourful but also more versatile and useful.
CovenantKevlar: Three seens like a lot, it can complete the Shaman quest in one shot in the right situation. What about change it to " At the end of your turn, add an EVIL Cable Rat to your hand."?, it would make it more balanced and flavourful, passing the idea that the Cheese is smelling and is slowly attracting the rats.
KANSAS: Looks better than the old one, and if you remember, i was one of the few who liked the old one back in the "I Miss my X" comp. Honestly, i don't know how people didn't get the flavor from it, he does his work in a painful way, yet the client gets satisfied and pay him for his job, but since he works for you, the coin goes to you, that simple. Also, haven't people ever heard of golden teeths?
Cg8889: I Like it, but that effect is worth of an Epic card or even a Legendary but with more effects IMO. Not complaining tho, it's just a sugestion.
Pokeniner: Thats a lot of stats for 8 mana, even with the restriction. But i don't think it is broken, just really powerful, worth of making Mechlock a real thing, and as a Mech Warlock enthusiast ( for real, i played my Mechlock homebrew a lot when Boomsday came out) i realy liked it!
Bigcums: I'll be honest, i'm not a fan of Jan'alai's wannabes, i have a little runt on them, and since i'm suspected to evaluate it, i'll leave it to others to evaluate.
CursedParot: Really loved Misstres of Fate, but giving the Plot Twist Casts When Drawn would make a easy 5 star for me. Also, i'll should put () between the 1.
grumpymonk: Clever Marksman is my favorite, it's a good paralel to Violet Spellwing. I like Drill Sargent too, but it seens a little unrealistic, and for Brigitte Abbendis, as i said above, not a fan of Jan'alai's wannabes.
Bloodmefist: I like them all, but i like Set the Tabble a little more. It's balanced, flavorful and also funny. Good job on all of them.
Banananparty: Seens kinda meh, it i'll most of the time be just a 5 mana 5/7, and i'm not a fan of legendaries with nothing but raw stats. At about make it a 4 mana 5/7 or 7/5 and make it cast the fire ball right on your face? It would not only make it even more bulky for the stats, but also have a double edge blade, dealing a lot of damage to you, but also sinergizing with cards like Molten Giant, Hooked Reaver, Duskbat, etc.
anchorm4n: Really liked it, very flavourful. As you asked, i'll give some name suggestion, at about Menagerie Tamer, Circus Beastmaster, Flamering Sideshow, or maybe a mix of those? I don't know, at least i've tried.
linkblade: I'll would go with Primal Fury, it fits Druid more since board clears is not ecxatly their strenght and the flavour is amazing. Took me a while to realise (I'm a little sleepy today), but when i did i fell in love with it, nice job.
Kinda already submitted unfortunately.
But I love the flavor of your card. I'm not sure how practical it would be in terms of playability, but everything else is an A+.

Aria yeah, I can see some rebalancing done. Question though: Is the dormant condition good?
Minions count, so it seems fine. One well-timed Flamestrike and you're back in the game. '20' might be too much, perhaps, but what're you gonna do: drop it to 17 or 18 or some less-elegant number? No lol.
Crystal Phoenix - One concern I have is-that you can create a paradox wherein you play the Phoenix, use the Temporal Loop on the same turn, and now you've done/learned various things without having spent the Loop card (because the Phoenix is back in your hand). You could do this "for free" every time you wanted to check for Secrets or whatever.
Slaith - I like the transformation effect, but every Deathrattle seems like too much, if you get to benefit from opposing Deathrattles. The 4/7/7 meme is real, though.
Aria - Remove the final Deathrattle and I think you've got something. Yeah I know that removes the phoenix "rising from the ashes" bit, but the card is just too powerful otherwise. If you want to leave it as a 7/7/7, it's that or take a hammer to the Spell Damage.
I'm pretty sure the Crystal Phoenix incident only applies on the very first turn you play the card, which honestly doesn't sound like that big of a deal to me. I like your thoughts about it though, that's using your noggin! I guess I should mention that Temporal Loop cards don't return to your hand if they were there when the turn starts.
