New idea. Sorry for the lack of feedback, I will amend it this afternoon.
I was planning on giving different keywords to each Fel Orc, but I couldn't think of anything beyond Taunt and Rush. So, I sticked with Taunt because it's more present in Warlock than Rush.
I like these changes overall, but I don't understand [Hearthstone Card (Liutenant Garr) Not Found]'s nerf. Sure, Elementals were OP, but that guy specifically always felt subpar.
Sayge is alright, fits Priest very well. At first, she gave me the chills because of her similarity to Barnes, but the only thing that made that guy broken was the relative degree of control you had over what you summon. Overall, I'd say you're good to go.

I'd say I prefer the 5 Mana version, if only because a 4/4/4 feels worse to play than a 5/5/5 in case the effect doesn't trigger. Might be just me, though. In any case, my rating of the card wouldn't change at all.

I still think your card should cost 5 Mana, but okay. In fact, it's hard to evaluate, since her power level depends on how many times you'll revive her on average. If it's something between 0 and 1, she would be okay I think. If it's higher than that… Kinda OP at 4.

Staab the Stabber is too dangerous, IMO, even if his effect feels more "natural". Pulling off a huge minion as soon as turn 2 can be game breaking.
Krual the Infinite Swarmer is more acceptable, even if it's a bit too complex for my taste. I kinda like the name, too. If you decide to go with it, make sure to capitalize "Deathrattle" at the end of the text.
Update: Added the art and tokens. They don't fit together perfectly, but I probably won't have the time to look for better art this week. Do you think I should use them as they are or just submit the base card? Any flaws detected?

I'd say the center of the first card should be his chest, not his staff. As it is right now, he doesn't seem to be the main focus of the card, which is a bit weird.
Sorry, anchor, I won't submit the Gru card XD Anyways, here are my ideas so far:

It's a pretty solid concept, but I think she compares too favorably to stuff like The Glass Knight or C'Thun's Chosen. Not like those cards are any good, but I'd still rise her cost to 5 mana.
BloodMefist

That kinds of effects tend to be a little bit dangerous, especially if they're attatched to cheap minions. Maybe rise her cost and stats accordingly to 4, 5 or 6, dunno.

Defender of Dalaran is pretty cool, although it may be a bit OP. His watermark should be Rise of Shadows.
Raeth Ghostsong is a little too complex, probably. Once you understand what he does, it's cool, but it takes a couple seconds to do so.

It's not a bad card, but it doesn't fit Classic, given it "limits design space". Any Year of the Phoenix expansions would fit flavor-wise, so I'd give it one of those, just to avoid Voidlord and similarly dangerous cards.

Really good flavor, indeed. The only thing I don't like is that it feels weird for a Rare card to summon an Epic one… Maybe if you make it a Class minion, it will feel more natural.

The flavor isn't bad, but I don't like that the effect is too similar to Hench-Clan Hogsteed. Not sure if people won't mind this similarity too much.
Sorry guys and gals, I'm having a nice 60 hours week, fighting covid in a task force at my working place. On top of that, I hardly ever play Battlegrounds. If inspiration strikes tomorrow, I'll slip something in, but that won't be of any quality. I'll participate in the voting, though!
I think this prompt is too complicated. There should be more people posting ideas by this point :/ Anyways, I came up with a newer one which is hopefully less broken.
Prompt is pretty simple, i thought about making a submission, but i don't really care about battlegrounds.
It's simple, but hard to come up with interesting ideas for it.
I'm the one who suggested it, btw, so it was self-criticism, mostly 😂

I'll probably scrap both cards, since Radiant First Mate is broken with Goldgrubber (and Amalgadon, but that card is broken in general and already has Annoy-o-Module, so whatevs) and Shirvallah's Champion is probably a bad idea all around.
Meanwhile, here's some more feedback:

Unfortunately, that card doesn't work in Constructed, since the concept of "rounds" doesn't exist there.
If you change the text so that it says "turn", it wouldn't work either, because turns in Battlegrounds only refer to the Recruit phase (see Iron Sensei, Micro Machine or Lightfang Enforcer)

The idea of having a 1 drop that is super OP in Battlegrounds is a cool and funny concept. I like Toxfin for that reason.
That said, I don't like how this card is completely useless for many heroes.

Cool idea to buff Mechs. It might be a bit too good, however.
It's like half a Kangor's Apprentice with the benefit of not depending on attack RNG nor taking up a slot in the board. I'd bump its Tavern Tier to 5 so that it is more scarce.
I've already submited Chromie. I prefered Horrifying Scream, but she had a better reception overall.

I prefer Treant'n Treat.
Clever Impersonator is basically a marginally worse Mind Control for 8 Mana, so it breaks class identity and might be OP.

Natural Evolution is probably my favorite. Flavor-wise, the concept of natural evolution (as in darwinism) makes a lot of sense in a school-based expansion. Also, the concept of using your mana to evolve your minions by that much is very elegant. Sadly enough, I don't think the card will be very well received, however, since it's very wordy.
Out of the other cards, the epic Arcane Evolution is also cool, but it'd be funny if you presented the same card (Recycling Module) in both comps.
Radiant First Mate attempts to give a much needed boost to Pirates. Divine Shield has good synergy with Pirates on-attack effects. The fact that she has DS herself makes it so that you can keep her after a couple buffs, unlike the very similar Toxfin. I'll admit that her inclusion in Constructed makes less sense, but since I chose a custom watermark, you could imagine she comes from a Pirate centric expansion.
Shirvallah's Disciple makes a lot of sense in both modes, but I'm worried it could be broken with Amalgadon.
Feedback (so far):

I'm not sure if giving a mass buff to all tribes would break "tribe identity" a little bit. I guess it's okay, since it's still one Tier above Felfin Navigator and Arcane Assistant; and the fact she buffs minions outside of the battlefield is less relevant in Battlegrounds than it is in Constructed.
All in all, I like the card, even if it feels a bit bland in terms of flavor. However, that's pretty common amongst BG cards, so it's not that big of a deal either.

I really like how different your card is in both modes.
In Constructed, it would certainly be a part of Freeze Shaman if that deck was viable, which could happen if it had more Freeze activators.
In Battlegrounds, I like the strategic factor of weighting whether it's worthwhile to Freeze a bad board or not. It's certainly more interesting than other self-scalating cards like Hangry Dragon or Goldgrubber, which just require you to do stuff you want to do anyways. Also, the fact it synergizes with Stasis Elemental makes it a believable part of the Elemental tribe.
Here are my ideas so far. I'll give feedback later.
Thinking about making Horrifying Scream a Hunter card (depicting Sylvanas instead of a random Banshee) or Chromie a Neutral. It's Alive! is too hard to balance, so I don't think I'll go with it.
Later came quite soon, actually. Here's my feedback.

Gravedigger Spade is a bit weird in Hunter. Sure, it can't be a Priest card because it's a weapon and the fact that it only targets Deathrattles kinda fits Hunter, but I still don't see it.
I like Baroness Anastari's concept, but she's very weak right now, given Priest doesn't have ways to reduce Health like Lich did. I'd bump her damage to 2 or even 3, with a stat reduction maybe.

Acolyte of N'zoth doesn't have Echo. 0/10. Seriously now, I like how both mechanics mesh together, but it's a bit complex and wordy, which tends to be a hinderance.
Felsoul Harvester isn't bad, but it's a bit bland.
Overall, I prefer the Acolyte of N'zoth.

The second wording is the one which makes the most sense. Interesting effect, even if a bit too complex.
I'd try to find a better art, however. I didn't see that's a scarecrow until you said it. Not like a scarecrow really fits the effect nor the name, also.

I think this card would really benefit from being Dual Priest + Shaman. I'd recomend using a custom watermark if you do this, since the Priest + Shaman combination isn't featured in Scholomance.

I think it should either cost 3 or cost 2 but only evolve for 1. The current rarity is fine IMO, but it wouldn't feel out of place as an Epic, either.
