I usually visit the page several times a day since Hearthstone is my number 1 hobby right now. My main interest lies in HS News articles, the Weekly Card Design Competition and the Card Treasure Hunt. I also check for cool new deck ideas now and then.
Wow, that's a really cool riddle. I can see easily three different directions this could go. Let's start with one of the obvious possibilities: Reckless Experimenter?
The flavor is almost bound to be a bit off with this theme, but here is what I came up with:
I'm trying to bring the spell generation and the Dragon themes for Priest from Ashes of Outland together in this one. It's a quite powerful effect so maybe 4 Mana is still too cheap.

I like the pun but giving Mage a card that draws 2 for 2 Mana over two turns is probably not the best idea.
Demon
I think the card has potential, but the "Give your hero Taunt" effect might cost you some points. There's no card like this in the game and while Valeera is able to gain Stealth, Taunt doesn't come as naturally for Garosh (or Uther).

For me, you have managed to create the most flavorful card yet. My (minor) problem with Forsake the Light is Lothraxion the Redeemed (and to a lesser extent Steward of Darkshire). It's good you've put the card in Frozen Throne, but it would be a massive threat in todays Odd Paladin. Maybe make it cost 2?
Wailor
I like Purging Flame the most, very flavorful idea. Hibernate is a bit off because the Beast has to die first which doesn't fit the Hibernation theme very well. Forest Fire is okay, but Druid usually doesn't sacrifice their own minions. So yeah, the Priest card is the best in my eyes.
Oof, I got quite a beating in the finals with no less than eleven 1-star votes. But at least the participation in the finalist voting saw a solid rise of 50%. Let's hope it stays that way.
I'm learning to play Il'gynoth Demon Hunter and having a lot of fun. Super strong deck, as far as I can tell right now Face Hunter is a bit of a problem, but everything else works out fine.
I've had nothing but trouble with Imgur on mobile right from the start. FlickR is a nice alternative if someone needs one. You can upload 1.000 pictures for free there.
Got my fourth golden Hero today :) Odd Paladin took me to Legend last month and Handbuff was a nice deck to climb to top 1.500 after that. This season, I've grinded Aggro Paladin in Standard until the nerfs hit, culminating in a 17 games winstreak. The final push was made with Wild Mech Paladin, the Handbuff prototype.
Like with the other 3 Heros before, I wasn't having much fun anymore once I got close. It was too much of a grind. Not sure what to do next, maybe Warrior or Demon Hunter. I've also come to like Standard Miracle Rogue, maybe that's my ticket to the Classic mode.
You all forget about Oh My Yogg! which made discovering randomly a totally common thing. That may happen on your turn, but it happens randomly nevertheless without an explicit explanation on Oh My Yogg!.
Deck of Chaos was actually pretty cool during the Year of the Phoenix. I even went to the lengths of crafting Zzeraku the Warped for it. What really really hurts this deck is the loss of Plot Twist. Finding DoC isn't easy and sometimes you get stuck with all your high cost, low attack minions in hand. The card has great potential, it only needs a tutor or another draw engine like Plot Twist. Everything else is adjustable, especially as long as the Scholomance cards are around to autopilot your early game and allow you to play DoC without straight out losing the game.
Here's my list from before rotation for what it's worth.
Deck of Chaos
A Unknown Warlock Deck created by

I like the 4 Mana version quite a lot. The 5 Mana Weapon is too complicated with the two restrictions and requires too much setup to be really worth it. The only issue I can see coming up is that Barrens has no other highlander card. But for me, that's only 4 instead of 5 stars and with a average of 4 you'll be fine :)
Demon
The Warrior card is super flavorful and I would probably rate it 4 stars if you made it a 6/6/6 (like in the song of Iron Maiden). What keeps me from giving it a top rating is what linkblade said: the tokens are too weak. Oh and I agree that "Riffy" is too much. That said, I do also like The Kingslayers quite a lot. The first one might be a bit too much, but if you decide to go with it, I suggest considering to cut the "from your deck". Or is this meant to be the card's weakness? What happens when it starts in hand? Really cool idea anyways!
Nirast
Nice idea, especially how you worked around the major catch of making a highlander spell (it becomes a dead card if you end up with duplicates in your deck). The power level is a bit hard to evaluate, but I'd probably cut the Overload. It makes the card more complicated than it needs to be. If you think it's too strong at 5, you can just raise the cost.
DestroyerR
Very creative idea, I like it! Maybe you can sneak a "on your turn" in the fourth line to prevent the issue linkblade has pointed out.
Doesn't look very cool to me either. What really confuses me is that Second Dinner is working on a Marvel game as well. Doesn't make much sense to give out the licenses to two competing studios, does it?
As a fellow metalhead I can only congratulate you for this awesome expansion. The amount of detail you have put into these cards is crazy, the art is super flavorful and streamlined, the additional stuff at the end super cool (pack opener!). I'd gladly preorder just for the flavor!
There are some typos left and quite a few cards that look scary at first glance, but I will try to find the time to give you detailed feedback on these points. Great work!

Nice idea! You should add a Cagematch Custodian or two.
The Marsh Queen?
Dirty Rat?

Count me in!
Can we make a wish which card to reveal? I'd like to showcase a Hunter legendary :)

Sorcerer's Apprentice? The usurper being Incanter's Flow (still my favorite riddle to date).
