Being a pessimistic player, I don't see that this will happen.
Firstly, In my terribly honest opinion, Blizzard is not really a pure F2P game. When you want to play a competitive deck, you surely have to work your way to that deck, either by buying it, or work your way slowly, grinding gold from quest etc.
Secondly, Whizbang the Wonderful can be considered a competitive deck. It's random deck consists of all the Standard Year Cards. It's like when you have that one card, you don't really have to buy any more pack to get more cards, because that one card is all you need. Blizzard wouldn't want that. They want you to buy packs.
Thirdly, we have other cards like Zayle, Shadow Cloak which doing almost the same thing. I can think Blizzard will print out more card like that in the future, instead of having Whizbang the Wonderful moved to Classic.
just reroll 50g quest, unless you got that from rolling 60g quest. 60g is the highest quest you get on average. I'd say you have a very slim chances of getting more than 60g, but a very big chances of getting 50g.
To start off, the Golem has no connection to a Year of the Dragon mechanic, meaning it would be disqualified for sure. Your second card is also problematic because it has five lines of text: Hearthstone convention says that all cards max out at four lines of text, both for the sake of readability and because it's the maximum level of complexity Team 5 is willing to go forward with. If you cut out the damage part and just make it focused on the guessing part (and balance appropriately), it would be much better (despite not following the prompt; save it for later!).
I'm not sure how you put Golem has no connection to Year of Dragon, I'm pretty sure I tried creating cards based on Uldum and that is part of the Year of Dragons.
Right, but we're looking for cards that work with/utilize the keywords or mechanics introduced in the Year of the Dragon. Twinspell, Plagues, Reborn, Sidequests, etc. Unless I'm mistaken, the Golem is just a minion that happens to be from the Year of the Dragon.
For the Sphinx, you can take or leave our advice however you want. Just trying to help :/
Alright then, golem will be revised. I love uldum so much I tried to create sand golem, but fine. I'll refer to this thread rules.

Your first card is technically fine, but I would have a huge problem with it existing in-game. Quests (especially the main Quests) completely influence how a deck is built, and making a card that can destroy the Quest torpedoes their entire game-plan in one fell swoop. It's either useless because your opponent isn't running a Quest, or it's game-ruining if they are. I think something better would be an "aura" effect that says "Players cannot progress with their Quests" or something like that. Like Mindbreaker, but for Quests instead of Hero Powers. That could give you the anti-Quest power you're looking for, but without the kill-shot power of its current iteration. As KANSAS put it, it's just too "brutal" right now.
And about this. That's the whole idea of this minion. Even without quest, the rest of the deck is still working. The same reactions I've read when Platebreaker is printed. "OMG. so broken", "LOL, goodbye Warrior class" and so on. So, I won't back out with this card no matter what.
EDIT. forgot to write, that you can't please everyone out. So vote what you like, and move on I guess.
@H0lysatan: I don't like it. It is either a (almost) guaranteed win against half of your opponents, or just straight up horrible against the other half. It is not interactive and it is not fun. Being able to interact with the opponent's quest is an interesting idea, but it should not be as brutal as this.
If Blizzard can create a tech card like Platebreaker & Living Dragonbreath, I think card like this needs to be there too. If quest is meta, then this will see play, if quest is not meta, then this won't see play.
Maybe if I had some info about the total ranked players in Hearthstone, I will be able to picture what 15% of the meta looks like.
And again, I faced Shaman three times this week, 1 one them being Galakrond Aggro Shaman and 2 of them is Big Spell Shaman (utilizing Eureka!, Rain of Toads & Eye of the Storm).
It's not a shame to say that I lost all 3 matches.
Galakrond Shaman, still too many invokes & rush to maintain board control.
Big Spell. Loses once to Malygos combo, and the other one was lucky big random minion from The Fist of Ra-den
I hate to say. that this meta should include Shaman even just a little.
2. Plus, dragons tribe is already crowding, I believe they must create a non-Dragon tribes to even it out.
I don't know where exactly, but I somewhere read that there introducing a new Tribe in the next Hs year
New tribe?
let me guess. making Undeads/Treants/Kobolds/Gnomes/Goblins/Orcs/Elves/Golems tribes is near impossible, since Blizzard need to revamp every single units that has been printed out, both Standard & Wild.
Even if (And this is a big if), they need to create a new tribe, they really need to think about units that hasnever been printed at all. And there are so little that can fit that descriptions.
New Tribes:
Eredar Tribes : (I could say this tribe is similar to Demon)
Draenei Tribes : (The shadowy tribe that helps Kael in his campaign to help Illidan)
and the last one is probably Blood-Elf Tribes : the same one as Elves.
This is all but theory, outside from that. I'm not so sure Hearthstone gonna print out a new tribe at all.
Your biggest mistake is to think Blizzard puts the same value on an effect throughout the game lifespan. Not only do they "fine-tune" cards to suit their flavor, but they increase their power level on purpose in some occasions to make them stand out. Not easy to then compare the cards solely on their stats and effects and draw a definitive conclusion from that.
like I was saying, this is the nerfs often come from. The idea that there are no basic formula in deciding how minions work is gonna make nerfs happen more often.
I know that there are some effects that are uncountable towards stats, like effects on Flik Skyshiv (No pun intended). And it could be the filter of Legendary cards. every card that can't be measured should be put there (or Epic if it's too many). And it's already standing out when some effects is very unique.
so, back again, I do think minions should have a ground formula.
No, it won't happen. In the last 3 years I've played there's no drastic change about currency.
Besides, giving 10 packs to Legends? The rich will get richer and stays on top (having the most complete deck), and the poor will always need to buy everything. The gap will be wider than ever.
And, again, no. I can only called this a "blasphemy" of some sort. No offense, but, Blizzard is already rich. The only thing they will do is adding another feature like BG in the future to increase popularity. They haven't even maximize the opportunity of getting money by utilizing cosmetics sales.
actually, I don't think there is a reference function at all for any stats balance and keywords: designers just go by custom, their guts, and ultimately statistics...
Nothing is balanced or broken on paper in their minds. So we can hardly make any point here.
If by what you're saying is true, there lies Hearthstone problems with overpowered cards, (hence all the nerfs). For example like Corrupt Elementalist nerf, that it should show you how his stats and battlecry so strong in 5 drops, and I agree that it should be balanced at 6 drops.
If there is some ground rules about making minions, I believe it should be pretty balance, and there would be no need for all that nerfs.
I could be wrong too. But if it were up to me, I do think it's important to have rules about how minion stats should be.
Being a F2P player, it is sometime takes a desperate measure to get a free packs, by any means necessary (but not with shady activity).
I had, login from Samsung Mobile, to Apple IPhone, and Tablet, just to get those nifty free packs.
And I've just realized that there is one more way to get more free packs, recruit a player (up to four free packs). But the cons is, not just any recruit can do. It has to be lower than 20 in total level (not Ranks Level).
To anyone who kind enough to be my recruit, pass those lv.20, and let me have those precious packs, I would be so grateful.
In addition, you get 1 free pack (if you haven't got to lv.20). So it's a win-win.
Being a pessimistic player, I don't see that this will happen.

Just sharing opinions
Old Favourite? SN1P-SN4P & Zilliax
New Favourite? Zephrys the Great for sure. And many more, but I still don't have a preferences.
I don't see why people don't use shaman anymore.
Still great even with all the nerfs. Plus the new weapon is absolute winner.
Win consecutive 5 times in Ranked 4 (Not Kidding. Going to Ranked 3-2). Good board control, and a lot of removal.
One is very lucky summon by The Fist of Ra-den summoning Nozdormu the Timeless
just reroll 50g quest, unless you got that from rolling 60g quest. 60g is the highest quest you get on average. I'd say you have a very slim chances of getting more than 60g, but a very big chances of getting 50g.
So, based on that, never re-roll 60g quest.
nice score. *Sarcasm*. ^^
I love this community.
Anyway. If that how it works, then you, as a game developer would not survive. Players won't buy any more packs, and the economy would crumble.
I love RPG, Myth, etc. It's a common knowledge Undead is immune to almost anything, but they too have a weakness. Healing factor or holy water.
But what about Holy Undead? wouldn't that make said creature invincible? So there you go.
"for the next decade" he said. What could keep Hearthstone floating for the next 10 years I wonder?
- New class? or New Mode? Clans, Tournament, and Custom Modes still viable.
- Second guess is very unlikely. 4 new Expansions every year instead of 3. But that won't last long.
The Hype Train is going smooth, as long as it doesn't ended up like W3:Refund ^^
Alright then, golem will be revised. I love uldum so much I tried to create sand golem, but fine. I'll refer to this thread rules.

This is my first time. So wish me luck.
EDIT : Final card added. Thanks for insight and critics.
Fuck. It's been 2 days and no one really wanna do the "trade 80 gold" with me.
Gimme that juicy 160 gold. Not angry, just frustrating.

my bad, I only read the title said, "Standard Exodia Mage". I totally disregard his motive to be just for fun deck.
next time, maybe create some helpful tips that this deck is not to get ranked or anything.
moving on.
EDIT. and yes, I didn't read that deck type "just for fun" too. only at the title.
the odd is overwhelmingly not good.
The whole deck is built on the synergy of 1 card (maybe 2) Luna's Pocket Galaxy or maybe Jepetto Joybuzz (if his battlecry actually pulls off).
Other than that, It's losing on tempo, no synergy. and basically, you lose if you end up having 6-8 drops early, It's a dead man cards.
No offense, but I'm pretty sure that Exodia Mage only good in Wild at this moment.
