Glad it's back. I won't put as much time as before into WCDCs though.
Here's what I'm going with:
Heal Druid was vaguely an archetype during RoS but it didn't take hold.
just in case you didn't know, a twin spell card with multiple twin spells on it gives you copies with multiple twin spells, just like in the dungeon runs. so if you were to play this card once, you would get three of them but with two twin spells. I feel like this might be too strong in combination with auctioneer
edit: I forgot how the interaction worked, my bad.
Is there a way for people to submit tokens with their entries? It would be nice, for example, to be able to see JFK's Corgen token when voting on Plague of Fetching. Just a thought.
heres my custom card ik it doesn't look good considering it was made in photoshop in about 5 minutes i took some inspiration by warlocks corrution mechanic and Chaos Gazer for this card feel free to critique me if the card seem too op anyways have fun
@Demonxz95 Thanks for the feedback. I agree that temporary health buffs are not the best design, with my card I wanted you to be able to build a board with lackeys, not just utilize their effect. Here's the changed version: (I also consider +2 attack instead of +1/+1.)

As you said, the metagame hasn't really solidified, so I don't think there's too much point in trying to nail down which cards to look out for. Maybe Chempunk Shredder will be the next big thing in Piltover & Zaun decks, so that's be a 1-health breakpoint. Similar story for Death Lotus if self-damage decks somehow rise to the top. You could basically add all direct-damage effects and Challenger units to the list. Unless you want to update the list constantly to reflect what's being played the most at the moment.

Remember this motherfucker? Skelesaurus Hex was a boss in the original LoE adventure from 2015. Its heroic Hero Power is "Add a random card to your hand. It costs (0)". Yes, you read that right. IT COSTS FUCKING 0. LoE in general had a lot of bullshit bosses (Scarvash, Slitherspear, ...) but this motherfucker is by far the worst.
You thought the Reno fight from the new adventure was bad because of the RNG. Wait until your get a FUCKING Kalecgos casting a FUCKING Power of Creation into Sunwalkers on TURN FUCKING 1. It took me several years to beat some bullshit adventure bosses, but those bosses generally become less bullshit over time thanks to new cards (I only recently beat Slitherspear with the Launcher+Venomizer combo).
But this motherfucker Skelesaurus Hex is different. Because of power creep, he becomes LESS doable over time because his Hero Power becomes more and more powerful. And that's the thing. The boss is not fun because, unlike all other bosses, there is no strategy against him. You just have to click Restart until you finally hit the 1/1000 case when he only gets useless crap from his Hero Power. Thas was even worse in 2015 because there wasn't even a Restart option for solo content.
I cleared all seemingly undoable bosses from Galakrond's Awakening (Reno, Lazul, Galakrond itself, etc...) with the Juggler+Test Subject infinite damage combo. It took a few tries to get the combo, it obviously took even more time to execute it, but at the end of the day I cleared everything.
I tried this combo with with this mofo for several hours and guess what? I could never survive until I get the full combo. Just when you think you can finally execute it, he pulls an Obsidian Statue out of his ass which obviously ruins everything because every minion needs to survive until the end and the Statue will inevitably kill one. Most of the time he kills me before turn 5 though.
Blizzard please. Delete this fucking boss from the game and give me my LoE Heroic card back I've been working for for 5 fucking years.
I think they should print "Quest" on the Embiggen card so its obvious it starts in your opening hand. If my opponent plays Embiggen on turn 1 or 2 or 3 I just concede, you know what is coming and it is not going to be fun.
These are the two cards I've made so far; the Scheme existed already from a similar theme in the past:
Show Spoiler
Show Spoiler
I think the Priest could have badly used more Lackey synergy to make it viable, while Sylvanas' Scheme might be too late to help Deathrattle Hunter make a comeback, but damn if it isn't gonna try.
To repeat what I said on Discord, I loveForsaken Harbinger. Sylvanas' Scheme might be a bit scary, although Hunters usually like to play fast and not hold their cards very long, so that might balance it.
No, the scheme is superbroken, for 6 mana you can Bomb Toss for 2 damage face and then Scheme the created Goblin Bomb for 10-30 face damage. This card would create the Expdia Hunter decks
Most Hunter decks typically don't hold their cards for very long unless they need to.
Presumably "instant OTK" would qualify as a "need to" condition? We've seen time and again cards that got zero play until someone worked out a win condition - particularity on OTK - and then built an entire deck around them (why hello there Holy Wrath!). So to suggest that card wouldn't get held for 5-6 turns if it meant instant, nearly uncounterable face dmg for the guaranteed win is pretty hard to swallow.
If you really wanted to make that kind of card, I would tweak to say "trigger ONE random friendly minion's deathrattle" and then upgrades the number of minions it hit. it would obvious be capped at seven so yes it would follow Blizz's Consistently Inconsistent mantra, but otherwise it would be impossible to play around as an opponent. That or make it 10 mana so you would be unable to play it the same turn as the triggering minion/spell so at least the playaround is to clear the deathrattle minion(s)

That's pretty interesting. I owuld say 2 things: 1) maybe lower the dmg and given the Corgen Rush? It would seem like more a control tool so rush would be key to playability + it wouldn't really "matter" how much dmg was done if the other minion became a 3/3 afterwards. 2) Having the "any minion damaged..." text on the spell is redundant since it's also on the token.
Thank you, that's great feedback. I honestly haven't thought about Cabalist's Tome. So two lessons learned already with my first entry: be sure the art isn't already in use and doublecheck for similar cards in the game.
What do you think about the rarity? The tome being an epic makes me feel like I got that aspect wrong, too...
I think common is OK for it. Cabalist's Tome was in WotOG, and lots of things that were fancy back then are commonplace now. A good example is Princess Huhuran which got 'copied' by a rare only 1 year later with Terrorscale Stalker. These days adding mage spells to your hand is pretty standard.
I suppose you could compare to Pick Pocket which actually has a lot of similarities by having a set keyword, adding random cards to your hand and being repeatable. If that was a rare then perhaps your card could be too, but there is no need to go up to epic that's for sure.
That was actually the first thing I thought about when Reno transformed. Well played!
The first time I was fighting the final boss and I transformed I didn't even realize that reno had transformed. I just thought that Reno had been replaced by some dragon. It was only the second time through when I realized that Reno was a dragon.
