Ok, got a couple ideas going. Apparently I'm feeling like a spell for this one...
I'll go through and give feedback when I have some time later today.
Stand Your Ground does not work as you envision it would. When a Taunt minion gains Immune, it cancels its Taunt until it loses Immune, exactly like Stealth. Or, maybe that was what you were going for?
Tunnel Explosives I like better, but I'm not sure I understand the flavor.
Some feedback for those who have posted; I was waiting for the group to expand a bit.
Show Spoiler
Conduit - An interesting thought, but as Wailor noted it's overpowered. Losing Taunt is not a big enough downside to warrant being a 3/4/4; it might even be a good thing, depending on the circumstances.
Hordaki - I like it, but I wonder if people would care about the bonus Taunt effect and instead just run it because it's guaranteed removal with a body. Being a Mech also means you can Magnetize Zilliax onto it. I love that artwork, though; it makes for great flavor.
TheHoax91 - As Sinti noted, I don't believe it fulfills the prompt as currently written. It's hard to say whether or not a handbuff-ed "Taunt" minion would count as an actual Taunt minion for the Quest; if it doesn't work, then the Shield "Bearer" fails to satisfy the competition's rules.
Mr Rhapsody - Unfortunately, while it is amusing, I don't believe you can capitalize the letters of EVIL and get away with it. You can't have two cards with the same name, even with that slight distinction :P
Wailor - Fire Plume's Heart forces you to play the Taunt minions; it does not let you summon them like Awaken the Makers. With that in mind, I would say Fel Horde does not follow the prompt in its current form. There's a reason players don't use Protect the King! (other than it being a bad card, but that's not my point lol). I understand what you're trying to do with Runic Armorsmith, but it took me a minute to get it and that could be a bad sign :(
:(
No need to call me out; you know I love you too :P
Just so we're all clear: I regularly skip Demon because we're both staff on our Discord, and it's easier to talk there. If you're not already a member, you should consider joining our server! We have a Fan Creations channel and can talk shop there <3

Even if it would be possible to level Maokai in any reasonable ammount of time, a deck out win still takes 4 extra turns. The Deck Destruction is designed to beat fatigue, which doesn't exist right now.
Maokai could become better in the future if the meta slows down, but i can't see the game being pushed in that direction due the existence of Ezreal decks.

Eventually you want to start using the Ragnaros Hero Power, so why not create an Inspire minion? Undying Tauren is that minion.
These two are the same thing, more or less; just a different way of phrasing the Battlecry. I couldn't decide which was the better way to say it, so I made two dramatically-different cards so you could tell them apart and help me out there.
I'm really excited to see what people come up with to support the deck :D
Well, glad I checked the thread before starting to make a card, I had ideas that are pretty identical to 2 of yours...
Here are my ideas. Not sold on any of them, though.
Fel Horde allows to summon a bunch of Taunts if you are also running some Enrage stuff. I was debating between three summoning conditions: all damaged characters, damaged minions or damaged friendly characters.
Thaurissan's Guard is a better Saronite Chain Gang, but it requires you to have low Health, like Revenge or Mortal Strike. I thought this made sense for a Taunt minion, since it triggers when you need more protection.
Runic Armorsmith gives your Taunts an extra effect. Not sure if the wording is clear enough, though. Plus, this kinds of Aha! submissions don't tend to do very well, under my experience.
Feedback to the ones who have posted so far. I'll return any additional feedback I receive.

It's obviously a pretty plain card. I also think it might be a little OP? Dunno
@Conduit

Not a bad idea, but it's quite overtuned. All cards which are above vanilla have a drawback, while yours doesn't (having bad-taunt is still better than nothing). I think a 1 mana 1/3 or 2/2 might be better for it.
Also, the flavor you picked has nothing to do with Un'goro, so pick another flavor or change the expansion.

Undying Tauren is my favorite of the bunch, although healing doesn't seem very Warrior-y. That said, I think it's okay, since it can only heal itself.
My second favorite is Against the Wall.
@TheHoax91

The effect seems a bit bland. Plus, I don't like how it seems to be a reference to Shieldbearer but its effect has nothing to do with it.

"Second versions" of cards don't tend to do well… But this might be the exception. I must be pretty easy to satisfy, but just for how similar the names are, I would give you 5 Stars lmao. Extra points because the obligatory Lackey generation makes sense both for Warrior and for Taunt.

The first paragraph of your description is missing the key player [Hearthstone Card (Auctionmaster Beardo) Not Found] -- took me a moment to figure out how you would get a 1 turn kill with just those other 3 cards. This would be really difficult to pull off (and get all the right cards) but if you can it would be fun. Will give it a try.
The plan is to get card reveal threads going up for all the reveals just like with Hearthstone.
First we need to get some code deployed onto the site to turn that on and to change some data things with Runeterra cards to properly support sets, with all the usual options that Hearthstone has for sets included.
Things been a bit funky with the Easter weekend and other tasks, but I'm hoping we'll have all that together early this week so we can officially kick off the reveal season.
I know Runeterra is not currently as popular as HS, not in this site and not yet in general, but I think it would help if there was a dedicated thread for initially every bunch of cards reveal and maybe later every card like in hearthstone? it might make the game more popular on the site or in general bring more discussion.
If anything I am asking you what are your plans on the spoiler season for Runeterra?

Well Hearthstone is more or less decided by who is more lucky, and I guess your matchmaking luck was just the worst.

I feel like proper wording would be. "Taunt. When this minion takes damage, it loses Taunt."

I see your point... maybe the text should be 'Taunt, loses Taunt when damaged'?

On the timid tortoise, I think a more believable text would be "Has Taunt while undamaged". Unfortunately, that wouldn't activate the warrior quest.

I think the buffed minion would not be considered a "taunt minion" on play = would not advance the quest = does not follow the prompt.
edit: You could change it to "Battlecry: Draw a Taunt minion from your deck. Give it +2/+2."
