Hit 12:0 with a hunter deck, but not the one you might think of:
Starter Deck:
Show Spoiler
Starting Treasure was Carrot on a Stick
First Passive - Recycling
Second Passive - Meek Mastery
Run breakdown: This turned nearly every game into a meat grinder, with recycling carrying the bulk of the work. For every bit of damage dealt, armor was replacing it. There were a couple of games that went really easily, but for the majority, we got close to fatigue. MVP's were Recycling, The Rat King, Ancient Reflections and bizarrely, Eggnapper.

/Edit - Uploaded the wrong screenshot for starter deck
Managed a 12-1 run in Casual, despite one of the worst starter decks I've ever made. Frustratingly, the only loss came at 11-0, and I ended up playing the exact same opponent a second time and winning by the tiniest margin.
A result of starting to build one deck, then switching to another idea, before finishing with a third, leaving Saurfang orphaned, and the recruit package unreliable. Also, don't try recruit warrior in Duels. Just don't.
Treasures were Pillage the Fallen and Scepter of Summoning. Pillage was a pleasant surprise, I definitely underrated the value that can come from constantly having a 3/4/5 mana weapon up. Scepter was just horribly broken, partially for allowing coining out Oakheart on 4, which then pulled another 18 mana worth of minions into play.
If I tried it again, I'd drop the whole recruit package, and find something better for the six slot. The high rolls helped, but pulling anything under a 5 drop from them was just horrible.
Starting Decklist, Final Decklist, final blow on the final boss, and 12 win pop-up in the spoiler.
Rotating Core Set - Yes, excellent, saves cards from being nerfed just because one interaction is too strong for standard, it's a solid addition that adds even more excitement to the rotation.
Legacy - Not a lot to note here. Hall of fame is being dissolved, so they need to extra careful not to make another Baku/Genn mistake again. Other than that, fine.
Classic Mode - ....ok. I've not heard of a demand for this. Classic WoW did alright, and I guess there was some demand for it for them to consider it worth implementing. I've got zero interest myself, and I'm still disappointed they dismissed the idea of a rotation ladder, as the idea of a perpetually changing meta interests me a lot more than a permanently stagnant one.
9 Extra Deck Slots - Yes. All the yes. Although why they couldn't just make it so you choose a Hero, and have 9 slots for each Hero is beyond me. I guess those who only play 1 or 2 Heroes would complain if they did that though.
I've been offered the 2/35 bundle, which sucks as I've got a complete collection of DMF cards. I'd take the wild deal in a heartbeat, as I'm missing cards from all of them.
I prefer Carnival Rager, the symmetry on the stats looks cleaner, and the Flamewreathed Rager is absolutely unplayable, as opposed to just bad pre-corruption

The totem having attack as default seems strange, but windfury on a 0 attack seems equally strange. It's fine, just a little odd perhaps.

I actually prefer Mama Rager, Spellweaver Meggar feels too clunky, for any deck that would really want it.

As long as it doesn't count itself, I don't see it being too problematic. Can produce reasonable threats, but nothing too scary.
I'm really late to the party this week, but I wanted to see if you thought this looked a little crowded text-wise. Keeping it in line with Tent Trasher suggests the wording should be this way, but it looks clunky.
I never did get round to that feedback. Neoguli, I see you've already submitted. If you want feedback anyway, let me know.

Firstly, I wouldn't worry about giving bad feedback. It's always appreciated, and the more people who give it, the more of a general idea someone can get as to the general feeling on their card. If someone makes changes based on your feedback alone, that's on them, not you. Even something as simple as "I like this because x" is useful.
As for your cards, I prefer Rallying Imp out of the 3. Getting a free draw in a Zoo Build is always good, and the weak stats can be countered, either by reducing the cost or buffing the minion. I like this idea of getting an extra draw, and I think the Imp does it better than the Beast Caller. Pond Caller Mrrgluh feels too close to Ringmaster Whatley to stand out.

Really nice way of tutoring an Old God, it doesn't feel clunky, and the Choose One and Corrupt effects give it a ton more utility. I would consider dropping the cost to 2 however.
DestroyerR

The wording here is really complicated. I don't really have any suggestions to fix it, but would point out that pulling Pyroblast and Puzzlebox with this would be a 20 damage nuke, which isn't something I'd like to see in HS personally.

I feel targeting needs to be clarified. Personally, I think this would be better as a Battlecry Tutor + a one time double battlecry effect (e.g. Draw a Battlecry minion. The next Battlecry you play triggers twice.

Nice idea! I prefer Strength Competition, just because Hunter seems more fitting for the one upsmanship than Paladin.

Simple, effective, if a little weak. Generally splitting the stats over 2 bodies merits a little more than vanilla, and potentially delaying those stats hitting the board merits it again. This could be +1/+4 and Taunt and I wouldn't consider it broken.
So, I thought I had the flavour nailed on, evoking pet battles from WoW, summoning a miniature version of a beast to fight. Anyway, no one seemed to pick up on it, with most feedback being that the name was weird. Anyway, I've renamed it, and also dropped the stats/cost down by 1, so it's not got the exact same statline Teacher's Pet (which it would share a set with). I've also thought of a new Elekk to join it's educated and augmented brethren.
I'm not sure whether I should follow the Old Gods theme, but I like the flavour on this too much to not at least put it out there:
The dual class cards for Hunter/Druid were a little tilted towards Druid. This attempts to rectify that, by providing a tool that can be used by both classes. Hunter can look for Savannah Highmane, Bloated Anaconda, or even Phase Stalker or Krolusk Barkripper. Meanwhile, Druid can look for Marsh Hydra, Winged Guardian or Twilight Runner. Of course, both classes can also look to Teachers Pet, Bad Luck Albatross or even Darkmoon Rabbit for a massive turn.
Feedback!

Wailor - Elune's Scholar seems good. Duels has shown just what Druid can do with +2 Spell Damage, and pulling Swipe or Starfall with this (and having the mana to play it) would be strong. Even Wrath would be good. Maleficent Willow should have a Choose One instead of a battlecry I'm assuming? Discarding by card type is new, but not unwelcome, and the one for one trade makes the vanilla statline fair. Once it's fixed, I'd say Willow is the more interesting card.
Linkblade91 - I think this is fine, apart from the fact that Upgrade exists. A 12/1 weapon, in a deck that doesn't really push face is fine. However, combined with a couple of upgrades, even a low roll in a big warrior deck could look at dishing out 20+ damage.
fungusABAO - I assume targets are chosen randomly? Also, how would this work with minions such as Muckmorpher, which rely on a body on which to apply the battlecry? I get what you're aiming for, but I feel like there are too many conditional battlecries for this to feel simple enough
Davnan Killder - Your Crescent Moon is an eclipse. Also, a crescent moon is just a coverall term for a waxing/waning moon.
Moon pedantry aside, the actual card is fine. I assume all 4 options would be offered (like Siamat) rather than a discovery mechanic used, and if that isn't the case, I'd consider rewording it, but otherwise, you're fine.
I can see this appearing in standard Hunter, maybe mage. Mad Scientist will keep the crown in Wild though. I also think this has no place in Wild Secret Mage.

It's been a while, I'm a little rusty.
Thanks for the congrats, but I'll point out it was 12 - 1. Sadly lost a game at 11 wins.

Predicting changes -
Deck of Lunacy - Spells that cost 2 more
Penflinger - Spellburst: Return this minion to your hand at the end of your turn.
Sword of the Fallen - Durability reduced to 2.
Refreshing Spring Water - 4 mana draw 2. If you draw a spell, refresh two mana.
Morshan Watchpost - Summons reduced to 2/1
I think Even Mage is going to be the first wild deck I try. This expansion is giving it so much support, I think it's worth a try.
That's a lot.
Rotating Core Set - Yes, excellent, saves cards from being nerfed just because one interaction is too strong for standard, it's a solid addition that adds even more excitement to the rotation.

I've seen a few come up, both in buckets and discover options. It's also possible to get the other Hero Powers if you were lucky with the pre-order
Worst card of the set. Dancing Swords never saw play outside of a few fringe mill decks, and this is arguably worse.
Curving into Sword Eater with this is scary. Tomb Warden is going to like it too. I'm starting to see an N'Zoth Taunt Warrior coming together.
I can see this appearing in standard Hunter, maybe mage. Mad Scientist will keep the crown in Wild though. I also think this has no place in Wild Secret Mage.
What 10 drop would Shudderwock Shammy run though?
Into the Fray into this on T2 - 7/3 Taunt. Aggro Taunt Warrior meta inc.
It's not the worst rager, just because of the cost, but it's still not going to show up often.
