Lots of very creative designs this week, very cool! Here's some feedback:

Very crazy and creative, haha! Not sure if it fits Rogue very well, but the art is cool and the effect worthy of a legendary.

Very cool, I like it a lot!

I think I prefer the Fire Spell Damage gaining version. There's a typo in "Spell" and I'm not sure if it should be "the" damage you're hero received last turn. You should also change the watermark. Nice idea!
BasilAnguis

It's not bad, but not the most creative idea either. The art is on the border of what feels HS-style for my taste.
Dermostatic

One of my favorites so far, nice one!

Cool idea, I like it!

While Shroud of Concealment looks the most interesting, I fear it might end up OP. Shattered Image is very flavorful, so that's my choice then. The wording needs some polish though.

Super creative approach, but oh boy is it hard to tell if this is OP. I can't really tell, I'm sorry.

I somehow can't see the updated version of your card, but since you only changed the wording, that's probably okay. I'm a bit worried if this isn't too powerful, but then that's what a Legendary secret is supposed to feel like. If you have added a "this turn" to the wording, it's a very neat card. Well done! Also thanks a lot for the art you've offered me. Number 1 doesn't deliver enough HS-vibes for my taste and number 2 misses the Pendulum blades. :( I really appreciate the effort though!

Hmmm… I like the flavor, but copying Yogg's effect is not very creative imho. Maybe you can exchange it for some other random crazyness? You should also change the watermark.

Nice idea and very cool art for it! The two problems I see is that 1) the name is a bit on the lenghty side and 2) the effect feels more like a Paladin card for me. But then you are the Paladin expert here, so it's probably fine :)
Demon
Show Spoiler
Very powerful and creative, cool idea! It might cost you a few points that Norse mythology isn't very much HS-style. I like the goat god, though :)
Once more I'm struggling to find art. Not sure about the power level either, but that can be easily adjusted via the Attack value of the targets (flavor wise, only small minions survive because the Pendulum Blade passes over their heads). What do you think?
That's correct! The trees in Lorien are Mallorn (plural Mellyrn). "Mellyrn were similar to beech trees in that their bark was smooth and silver-grey, but their leaves, which were green above and silver beneath..."
Poison Ivy is correct Fedrion! I did pose the two questions in the correct order though (so Poison comes second). Think some more about R's guess about the trees but with more detail...
Sure. I'll give you three of them, I don't want to frustrate you.
First hint
Show Spoiler
The person you are looking for is not actually living in Washington (the city), "Washington" is a code for something else. You can solve this by trying to find a substitue for Washington (the city).
Second hint
Show Spoiler
You're only looking for the redhead's first name.
Third hint
Show Spoiler
There's a major keyword for the answer to question 2 planted in the "Washington"-sentence.
No to all of those. R got the closest so far with their guess of "trees" for part 1.
I'm happy it did not end up too easy, but I'm fairly confident you'll get it soon. Hint: Both parts are entirely non-Hearthstone related, but if you put together the answers to the questions, you'll get a card.
I have played against someone using only basic and classic cards last weekend (so way before the patch). My best guess is people are training for Classic mode.
Definitely Hero Power Mage and Frenzy Warrior. I also tried to come up with a Deathrattle Shadow Priest, but I think that won't work. The list below was drafted before the final reveal, so I'll have a second look at it soon. I like your Taunt Druid list!
It's a warm summer day and you're wandering along a smooth path in Lorien. You look up towards the sky. What do you see?
There's a redhead living in Washington in a house covered in ivy. What's her name?
@DestroyerR: Please don't feel bad because I was able to solve it quickly. I enjoy your riddles very much and if it was within my powers, I'd instantly award you with a fitting forum title like Supreme Quizzmaster or some such.
Really nice list! I'll probably give it a try after my own attempts have failed miserably. But it's cool to see we're headed in a similar direction :) Taelan Fordring MVP!
Thanks for your feedback, shatterstar and Demon. I've put Burn it! into Hunter because it's themed around Sylvanas which is (at least in my head) very solidly tied with that class since she was made an alternative Hero skin. You're right when you say that the effect would feel more natural in Warlock, though. I'll think about this some more before submitting.
Thanks a lot for all your feedback on The Pumpking's Rage. I get it wasn't very much to your liking and I'm struggling to create something competitive this week. So I've decided to submit a fun card instead, which features one of my favorite characters committing her ultimate crime. It took some time to figure out how the effect of burning Teldrassil with the intention to crush all hope might be translated into a Hearthstone card. But in the end, the Banshee Queen herself gave me the cue: Burn it!
Also, more feedback!

The rules say you have to submit a Class card. Other than that, I like your idea. Thematically it might fit in Demon Hunter or Warlock, even if Prof. Moss looks a bit too nice for those two.

Lasher looks best to me, but I'd appreciate it if you could find another piece of art for it, since someone else used it first in this thread. That would probably secure both of you better votes as well. That said, I like the card and the effect.

Simple, yet powerful. It's a good card, but you might lose some points for putting it in K&C where Spell Schools were not a thing.

I prefer the second version. Nice improvement of your initial idea, well done!

Looks like someone's trying to secure a win streak. The only minor issue I can find is that Lien's art is not strictly Hearthstone style. Other than that, super nice!

I'm sorry, but I'm not a big fan. This can easily backfire heavily if it dies late in the game. Also stealth isn't a typical Hunter mechanic and the idea of a herb eating a mouse is somewhat strange.

Show Spoiler
I like both cards, but you're right, Entanglement is more interesting. I'm impressed how you come with new ideas for Hunter secrets time and time again while I constantly think that design space is used up.
Fedrion -
Show Spoiler
Interesting idea, I like it. But I'd need some explanation. Does "asleep" mean Dormant?
Thanks Nirast. You're right, the card would be a 7 Mana whiff if you don't draw, play and kill your Squashlings in time. I think I have a solution for that, but now I'm really at a loss which Cost is appropriate. On the one hand, the card kills only enemy minions, which makes it better than Psychic Scream and Plague of Death. On the other hand, it's quite bad if you can't manage to kill the Squashlings and there's Lesser Onyx Spellstone which only costs 5 to kill 3, but has a harder (?) condition. Hmmmmm.

I can recommend Undertaker Paladin. Feels very strong!

Trees is closer to the first part, but you need to be more specific.
