Wow, these cards are playing around with a lot of different mechanics. I am really interested by Kragg and rising winds. Kragg reminds me a lot of a shadow bolt, or a druid of the scythe. 

Not sure about Standard, but this is getting slotted right into my Wild Odd DK Jaina Elemental (I'm bad at naming...) deck for sure!

I think this works with sidequests as well btw.

Seems really good in questhunter and quest shaman.

Does Kragg's battlecry trigger with sidequests or only legendary quests?

Nice! Finally support for quest maly druid.

I mean...it's not terrible, but it's also not great.

What kind of deck does this go into? Way too slow for tokens, no point in Embiggen (unless you really want non-minion token to fill out your early curve without having to worry about drawing poop later)

It's okay, but i fail to see it in any current deck.

Do sidequests count for the battlecry?

maybe with this you might be able to get janalai online easier! also elemental, high hp, probably fits well into highlande even without janalai..

4/5 good but not meta defining good.

man, this would have been really sweet if Odd Mage was still in Standard, wouldn't it.

NOt gonna see me build a deck around Janalai right now though...

Either way it's probably a solid inclusion in Highlander. NOtably also a buff to Sidequest Aggro elemental mage

Enjoyed watching your stream yesterday, good luck getting to legend.

😂Let's hope not! 

why would you play auctioneer and cycle through your deck when you just play the grand lackey and get the same card advantage, extra minions, and buffs? I think this will be a great card.

If Warrior gets to lean on Brawl from here on to perpetuity and still gets decent board clears on top of that I don't see why Priest shouldn't have Mass Hysteria in its evergreen set. As a control class Priest still has a natural disadvantage compared to Warrior in that it can't use the HP proactively to stack up defense, that's enough of a handicap without arbitrarily making the class cards weaker as well.

As for the other changes, the only one i really disagree with is removing Velen, as far as I'm concerned the card isn't a threat unless a substantive amount of healing/damage spells AND mana discount mechanics exist in standard, and it's pretty easy to design the former around Velen so long as you don't have too much of the latter. I don't think I've seen a Velen in standard since Radiant Elemental rotated out.

Yeah!  Anima Golem is corrrect.  MurlocAggroB is up next.

Also, to clear up the confusion, the only other minion seen in the entire game with a 6 mana 9/9 stat line is Nalaa the Redeemer, found only in the Witchwood adventure.

I'm tapping out on this one - I've looked at every single Adventure (Blackrock, Naxxramas, Explorers, & Karazhan) minion that's obviously female and cannot find any faceless mechs that match their stats who also positively interact with other minions (in a way that isn't just a stat boost).

Maybe I'm missing something - a minion that's canonically female but that I don't recognize as such or a mech that I think has a face that perhaps you don't? But I am all out of guesses here so good luck everyone else!

Anima Golem?

In terms of Board Clears, couldn’t Priest also get Excavated Evil back? It doesn’t really fit into the themes you’re going for but it’s a cool card. Also, you could buff Holy Nova to 6 Mana “Deal 3 Damage to all enemy Characters and restore 3 Health to all friendly characters”. I feel this might be better than Mass Hysteria because I think that Holy Nova is a very thematically priest card (just horribly underpowered)

Excavated Evil I ruled out for a similar reason as Psychic Scream - mechanically, the shuffling aspect of it felt weird to me to include in the Classic set.

I was trying to avoid buffing or nerfing cards as much as possible when doing this, because I understand that people like cards as they are in many cases and I didn't want to completely remove anything from the game. I'm not against buffing Holy Nova like that though. I didn't think it would fill the board clear slot of the class well, but perhaps in the new style of gameplay they'd more frequently be able to make favourable trades and clean up with it, while healing their own board back up. Something to think on.

What if Inner Fire was changed to “Give a minion ‘After this attacks, set its Attack equal to its Health’”? That way it would still be an Attack payoff card but it couldn’t be part of an OTK when you have a high health minion on the board. Alternatively, it could become “Destroy a minion. Summon a minion for its owner with Attack and Health equal to the chosen minion’s health” for a similar effect

I'm just not a fan of extreme Attack buffs like that in Priest. I don't mind incidental or small symmetrical ones like Power Word: Tentacles or Unidentified Elixir, but ones that can vastly pump the Attack stat I don't like.

Power Word: Barrier and Meeting of Minds are way too complicated for the Basic Set.

Do you mind expanding on why you think that? I don't think either of them are particularly difficult mechanics to understand.

Barrier is a simple AoE buff. Meeting of Minds is no more complex than something like Tracking - it'd give you more options, sure, but I don't see why that makes it that much more complex.

Animal Companion is a way more complex card than either of them, imo, with three tokens that you have no way of finding out about before playing the card (at least in-game).

No to Faithful Lumi and Fel Cannon.

I would personally consider "facial features" as anything resembling eyes, nose, mouth, etc.  The Mech you're looking for has none of these qualities.  Also, its interaction with friendly minions isn't about giving or receiving additional stats.
