I agree that redirecting Fatigue damage is a huge part of the problem. My favorite solution for the whole Seedlock issue would be the widely popular idea to make Tamsin share damage dealt to your hero on your turn with your opponent (like her voiceline suggests as well). If the Fatigue aspect doesn't get changed but the (Wild) meta somehow slows down after the next round of nerfs, I'll try a "fun" version with Void Contract :D
Thanks a lot for your advice! I decided to go with the Cloud Serpent race, since it fits very well what I already had in mind (which I didn't tell you about because I don't want to spill the beans yet). I hope I'll manage to find the balance between touching several subjects in a flavorful way (Dragons, Pandaren, the race itself) without the expansion being all over the place without a central theme. For the records: I had come up with the Darkmoon Faire race before having read Flux's speculation article ;-) But you're right, my focal point is the race and the Cloud Serpent theme is way better for this than the Darkmoon Faire. So yeah, you gave me a huge boost and prevented my custom expansion from being a failure before it has even begun to take shape. Thank you!
Thanks to both of you! The Sky Race looks like a nice idea. It's probably easier to find art for it than for the Darkmoon Faire, so this is great advice! Now I'm even more excited, this looks like the last piece I was missing :-)
Greetings, fellow custom card design enthusiasts! In a fit of overconfidence I decided to try and create my own custom Hearthstone expansion. The good news: I have a cool idea for a new keyword and a very flavorful special kind of card I'll make a legendary of for each class. The bad news: I have never really played WoW and am struggling to tie in the expansion lore-wise. While I'm perfectly able to look up specific stuff on wowpedia and the likes, I need a pointer in a more general direction with this. That's where you might help out:
Help! I need a lore-yer
Maybe there's someone among you who could give me a nudge in the right direction. What I'm looking for is some kind of race. I already found out that there's one at the Dark Moon Faire and that's my somewhat clunky working title for now: "The Great Darkmoon Faire Race". I'm not convinced this is an important enough event to make an expansion of though. So is there anything else in WoW in that direction? It doesn't have to be a literal race Formula 1 style, I could imagine something like an artifact being dicovered and everybody racing there to get their hands on it first as well. I'd be grateful for any kind of support!
The cheapest solution for Blizzard would be to nerf Galakrond himself, because then they wouldn't have to compensate anyone for it. That said, they certainly won't touch its mana cost because of consistency with the other Galakronds, which leaves the effect. I see two possibilities here: make the tokens 1/2 or remove the rush keyword. With Storm's Wrath, Vessina and Bloodlust in mind, things could still get ugly, but then Galakrond Warloc isn't a thing (yet) and they have a few options to buff their tokens, too. On a sidenote, it's incredible how unfair the invoke effects were distributed among the two classes. tl;dr: 50% chance they'll remove rush from the tokens and/or make them 1/2

I really like the suggestion to add overload (2?) to Corrupt Elementalist and Dragon's Pack . Would be fitting flavour-wise.
That should do with shaman, removing rush from the invoke effect being top priority.
Concerning Faceless Corruptor I share your thoughts about increasing its cost to 7.
