The Wailing Cavern set is up! While there's only 3 cards, I tried my best to give the support for the Deathrattle Detective archetype while giving slower Detective archetype excellent stalling tools.
Thalnos seem overpower until you realize to take advantage of his effect you need a decent board, a small friendly AoE or your opponent has number of small minions and a number of burst to take advantage of it.
Explore the Barrens immediately damage the Frenzy minion you Discover when it is played and is a good standalone card.
Velen, Prophet of Peace is a stalling minions so your opponent has to remove him if they want to attack. Even against token decks you can use him to limit them to essentially 5 board slot.
Temple of Y'Shaarj is meant to synergize with Y'Shaarj himself to create more Corrupt card.

@Linkblade: The card seem too swingy whether or not you get a good batch of cards every turn.
@Nirast: Both of them are way too specific while being not very powerful in the pay off.
@Anchorm4n: There's no way Demon Hunter will run Rag over something like Priestess of Fury since it doesn't do anything if it got killed. The Frost Watch Post is great and fitting with Mage flavor. Because Frost Nova isn't in the core set you can print this and not having it be degenerate.
@Karmin: Seem way too low impact for the cost and stat.
@Wailor: The 5 mana version is much more balanced and ready to go.
@CydonianKnight: What does duplicate card even mean? Do you need to already have the first copy in your hand?
@Demonxz95: Sheep Cannon is literally just a weaker version of Kolkar Pack Runner. Mini Ragnaros is way too swingy for such a low mana cost.
People seem to like the Mage Secret more. So I'll repost them with some wording change:
Wormhole is nerfed to only has 2 Secrets and add the Arcane tag. Shattered Image got a slight rewording.

@Nirast: This one seem degenerate with Secret synergy as well as against non-hyper aggessive deck.
@Wailor: Seem like something that would restore 1-8 Health on average. Most OTK deck will deal more than 30 damage.
@KANSAS: I like the card a lot but the wording should be 3 or more of your minions since the wording right now don't take into account board clear that wipe out multiple minions.
@cydonianknight: I like it. Great flavor and effect that isn't degenerate like the other ideas post on here.
@Fedrion: Second and original Cauterize is the most balance of the bunch since you will have to think about when to play it.
@Dermostat: Extremely OP given that at worst it is a 2 mana 4/4. Rogue isn't known for wide board either, so this also out of flavor for the class.
@Lundy: Well, this will be a strong contender for the second round. How would the Devouring Hunger option resolve though?
@Grumpymonk: Excellent effect but need a name change. Why would Trick of the Trade involve with playing cards and obtaining Treasure?
Initial ideas. The first one and third one is an attempt to give Mage and Rogue some defensive Secret. Second one is for Secret Mage to cheat out more Secret from their deck. Fourth one is for Miracle Rogue that can draw and dump their hand in one turn.
One thing of note: The art for Consecration came from the card Reckoning of the Light from the TCG. So it does have precedent from other cards in the Classic / Basic set of taking and recycling stuffs from the TCG.
Forge in the Barren set is finished! The set will offer support for mainly Deathrattle Detective, but will also have space for Menagerie, Reveal combo detective and token Detective that will be developed in later sets.
I mostly like your Core set beside Bullet Time (which can easily be solved if it is ever problematic by nerfing the Mana cost). Black Hole Eclipse absolutely need the Shadow tag.
Question: Do you plan to put the Arcane tag on your "Time" spells? I think it's a major decision that will impact your set synergy with spell school going forward.
Spells from other set that I think should have the new tribal tag on them:
@Arkasaur: I like the second version much more. The first version ran into the problem of not doing enough on the for such a requirement unless it is Skull of Gul'dan level of busted.
@ChickyChick: Your Black Lotus is so busted with the new Rogue Legendary since it can discount up to 6 mana for a card. The second card is just really confusing. The Fungal Alchemist is my favorite.
@anchorm4n: I don't know why you don't make the card from Warlock. It has the deck destroying and Mana Crystal destroying mechanic. I think it also need to target destroy because it is 6 mana and a Legendary.
Rokkar leans into the spell school mechanic and allow Druid and Shaman to activate their newly Legendary Guff Runetotem and Bru'kan. Note that ALL spells means that every spell you generate will become Nature spells.
Fungal Giant is the Giant mechanic + the theme of minion survive damage from the new set.
Scavenging Lasher took advantage of the new Poison archetype in Rogue.

@Ilphelkiir Spore Channeler seem way too good at 1 mana since it create insane swing turns for such cheap cost, especially since all of the Rogue Poison cost 2 or less. I think putting it at a 2 mana 3/2 / 2/3 is better compare to Radiant Elemental and Sorcerer Apprentice.
@cydonianknight: First version of the mushroom is way more interesting and flavorful. The second one don't even make much sense why it kill another minion.
@Demonxz95: Rosa seems way too expansive at 5 mana. Stealth Rogue isn't going to run her since it require them to not go face. I suggest knock her down to 4 mana. The Secret is the one that I would go for since it is very flavorful and interesting.
@linkblade91: Bramble Behemoth suck so much compare to Sword Eater
@anchorm4n: The card is way too specific and has the downside of completely being outclassed by Psychic Scream during the time of its printing.
The class's base set for 2021 is up! The base also introduce a new archetype that will receive support throughout the expansion: Deathrattle Detective.
Why is the class has 3 dual class cards? The mini expansion so far only bring back dual class combination within the year.
I deeply dislike Minigame Master since it is either create for you 3 cards or 0 cards. I think the "games" need to be more consistent in exchange for lower power level on the tokens.
The mini-set only has two dual-class cards. One for the two dual-class combinations within the year.
And I think you misunderstood Minigame Master. You don't play all 3 games. You play one of them at random.
Ah. I thought the border is for Shaman lol. Oops.
And even if Minigame Master works like you said, the 66% chance of not creating a card is already too much for him to ever see play. You might get away with that on a smaller cost (like Curious Glimmerroot or Guess the Weight) but I don't think you can do that on 5 mana.

I get it if someone doesn't like Song of Darkmoon, but I don't get why someone wouldn't like City Guard Raid? The class has the mechanic of revealing cards in their opponent's hand all the way back from the Basic set (Interrogate). Did you mean Bureaucratic Obstruction?

The class's tier 2 Armor reward is up!
A couple of ideas for the week:
To celebrate the class getting featured on the Community Spotlight, here's a whole 6 new cosmetic for the class!

Add image credit to user Akirie26. I am so sorry for not creditting you sooner.
It's similar to Choose One or Discover effect from a random casting effect: You'll get a random card from the selection.
And I can't find an upgradable 3 stages card that fit the mercenary that I want to put forth. So that is the best I can do.
