She's now a Stoneborn, like Stoneborn Accuser. This is to make her fit better with the flavor of the expansion, but it also means she's no longer a Demon.
I think the Infuse requirement, stats and Cost are balanced now, but I wonder if the Infuse should let you pick the enemy minion you want. Keep in mind she's meant to be a Token/Zoo card.
Some early feedback:

Spectral Split is a very believable card, both for the straight-forward effect and for the high quality artwork. Very solid contender.
Party Greeter is more interesting from a gameplay perspective, but it's quite hard to judge if it's balanced. I mean, I initially thought it was OP, since it's a targeted draw that comes with a body and can be upgraded, but then I realised this card will rarely do anything if played on curve.
For this reason, I think Spectral Split is a better option, even if I prefer Party Greeter after sitting on it for a bit.

I really like Jealous Shade. The effect is very nuanced, and the flavor fits very well with the expansion. The artwork is a bit boring, but it's one of my favorite cards so far.
About Well Fed, I don't recommend going with the version that stacks Divine Shields, as the card I submitted some comps ago ended up last place amongst the finalists. If you do, however, I recommend an epic rarity, as the effect is quite unique.
The other version of Well Fed is cool, although I prefer Jealous Shade.

Very cool card. The Choose One into Choose Twice is a very inventive idea, and both effects fit the flavor very well.
Not sure if I would submit the Choose One tokens as I think they'll add to much noise, if that makes sense. They are cool as heck, however. Maybe add them as images in the description of the submission?

Welcome back!
I like the effect, but the artwork isn't good. In my opinion, it's better to find a single good piece of art and submitting the non-Infused version than to find a mediocre artwork that has two versions.
I also agree with linkblade that the Infuse requirement should be lower. Maybe 7, to have that nice feeling of having all numbers be the same?
Finally, maybe Priest would be a better class for this than Neutral.
In terms of winrates bard is outperforming Kaisa. They also fixed the sharpsight bug where it used to level her at burst that was a joke.
But sure 1 more keyword to evolve will probably put her from 54% to 52% and be a niche deck at that point.
But the total ubiquity of Bard is something that can and should and needs to be fixed if LOR is going to continue being a game that encourages champion diversity.
Outside of Kaisa and Bard I consider Ionia and Shurima.to be healthy and fine. It's when the champions are this good that countering disruption borderlines on toxic.
MenacingBagel - Welcome back :D Being not-dead is good, right? Anyway, in regards to your card, unfortunately while I find it amusing I don't think it's good. Switching from restoring Health to dealing damage is a nice twist - Circus Medic had a flexibility that was handy - but the Infuse cost is massive. If you plan on throwing a bunch of people to their deaths to Infuse someone, why not just go all-out with Sire Denathrius? He gives you the damage *and* the healing :(
AeroJulwin - I could see this winning the comp and I'm jealous of you vis-a-vie its existence. I can't think of anything to nitpick at the moment.
Wailor - I think Vampiric Awakening has better flavor than the minion, but that doesn't mean I think it should be allowed to exist lol. Resurrect Priest pisses off enough people already, and that card in that particular deck is a scary thought. Redeemer of Sins is neat, but I think it needs to say "Infuse (1): Gain "Battlecry: Resurrect…" because right now the Infuse isn't "attached" to anything as a modifier. See: Stoneborn Accuser. I think with all the Imps around Lysa would be annoying to deal with, because there's a bunch of obvious cheap minions to throw away for the Infuse (and the steal). It would be like Tickatus, in my opinion; you'd never play it before Corrupting/Infusing anyway.
Demonxz95 - Party Greeter has great art: unless I'm missing something obvious, it looks like it came straight from the game. I don't think "Costs" should be plural like that, though. I like it more than Spectral Split. Spectral Split is a fine card, but the Infuse is pretty high and the best use-case for it - when there's a board full of enemy minions - doesn't correlate into a good situation for the player to be casting the spell ('cause you're spending Mana not-clearing said minions). If you want to go with the Priest spell, maybe up the Cost and the effect, but leave the Infuse alone: like a 5/6-Mana "Summon a 3/3 copy…Infuse (5): 5/5 copies." Now you're getting a big bang for the buck, and are more likely to be building bigger minions than your opponent; i.e: an actual threat that can't be ignored like the 1/1s or the 3/3s.
In theory, but in a meta where Theotar, the Mad Duke exists, it's also quite a tell. And it can be hard to justify dropping a 3/3 with Divine Shield if you are facing strong tempo board on the opposing side. But still a handful of folks using Taelan presumably for the reason you mention.
I see lots of decks on this list (and in my experience on ladder) running Sire Denathrius. Yet not a lot of Taelan Fording. Isn't this exactly what he is best at, drawing your big minion so it's in your hand while you sacrifice all your minions? What am I missing?
Next time ya'll need to double-check the order in which you submit your Colossal card tokens: it makes a difference based on the art you used :P When Colossal minions are summoned, their tokens come out on either side based on what the art depicts; I wouldn't say it detracted from my voting, but it looks silly if the cards aren't in the correct order.
…I might be the only one who cares about this lol.
Sorry for the late reply, my browser didn't show new comments for some reason.
I actually submitted my token before the main card, because the effect of the body doesn't make much sense if you don't read the token's effect first. I guess token before card may have looked weird, but it's definitely an exception anyway.
Kinda surprised there wasn't any card like this in the expansion. I guess the miniset will have one.
I like the minion a bit more, but both need a better flavor (especially the minion).
Edit: I've come up with Lysa Sinsong. It's probably the worst pun I've ever made a card from.
I made this card really quick, so it's probably very unbalanced (the Infuse requirement should probably be higher, and maybe it could use a higher Cost)
Jealous Shade kind of plays like Circus Medic, where you have to be mindful of the Corrupt (or Infuse in this case) because the two outcomes are quite different. There's a use-case for both of them: the initial Battlecry is good after a Pelagos pop-off turn, while swapping stats is good against enemies in a Thief Priest kind of way. The Shade represents a marriage of both Nathria Priest archetypes :)
Edit: I found better flavor and art for my Paladin card; it is now called Well Fed. It's the WoW buff you gain for eating food - this is a double entendre, because vampires feed off the living. It functions similarly to Wailor's Legendary from a few comps ago, giving a minion stacking Divine Shields to make them very sticky: the more you eat, the harder you are to kill!
Edit2: If you don't like stacking Divine Shields, I made another version of Well Fed. After the Infuse (2) it's a cheaper Mark of the Wild, with the potential to be even better.

The maze feeds off its victims to grow even more dangerous.
I photoshopped the red color to resemble anima for the Infused version. It's my first time trying, so I think it's pretty decent.
Who's The Bigger Troll
To be fair:
Ionia always has been the region of interruption and therefore never got access to spellshield.
Riot really needs to reconsider the design choices made with shurima and look into what weakness shurima is supposed to have.
Maybe it's nerfing Rite of Negation as I said before, Maybe it's nerfing Quicksand to turn the region into a region weak to combat.
But Riot really should take some effort to give the region a defined weakness that other regions can take advantage of.
