Haha I knew this was a nice idea :D. Exactly like this, so you can also keep the basic color of the weapon frame.

I thought you have like the fantasy magma/forge/smith theme thats so common. Since you chose this color. Just type in google forge fantasy art and half the images have magma in them. 

For the minion frame I think the hammer needs some sparks. Arrangement like this maybe:

I think I'm finally done with most cards and I'm ready for almost any of the possible challenges... still I'll beg for opinions (especially about that sixth challenge)

Cards I'm already quite confident about or that might need some minor adjustments:

Might make it "minions" for dancing blades. Obviously the token is always the hero power's one:

 

Now something I'd like to have some help wording:

Blue Sanctuary: I don't think it's been used before. I'm definitely going to make this a class mechanic (that's why I wanted to introduce it in the basic set), as most class cards will have weapon in their text. Still I'm not so sure about the wording and if the cost is fine.

Broadsword: Can be a 3/4/2 weapon but you'll have to waste a weapon's durability. Maybe it's more balanced with other stats but I honestly don't know. Can be drawn by Blue Sanctuary.

 Finally here comes what took me most time to create: cards fitting for the 6th challenge. Right now I have two possible choices:

Watch & Learn

Watch: I have 2 possible effects for this. The first one seems similar to Learn, but maybe the second one has more synergies with the class (knowing what your opponent is going to play to use the right learn cards on the board). I really don't know how to price the second one, the actual cost is completely random because I didn't know what to put instead.

 Caught In Two Minds

Token:

Caught In: Firstly I'm not even sure if the name means anything at all. This card does a lot of things with one effect: it denies an opponent draw burning him a card, gives you either a lot of burn damage (if he keeps the cards at least one turn) or a great mana advantage (if he plays more than 5 of them). It also helps activating all of your Learn (Spell) effects, if your opponent can't play around it. Still it might even just be a dead draw when you might need something completely different. I'm obviously not sure at all whether this card is balanced or not, so I'm open to suggestions. About the theme, well the Soulknife can't always rely on his opponent using the move he wants when he wants, but some mind tricks up his sleeve might help him in that... "-Now you're going to stay put and do nothing--Now I'm going to stay put and do nothing- A simple soulknife mind trick at work."

Two Minds: Someone told Sael his tricks were too roguish. So, to completely differentiate his course of action, he chose to give coins to his opponent instead of keeping them for himself as a Rogue would do... Well the idea here is the same as the previous card, giving your opponent more spells to play to activate your Learn (Spell) effects (also because Learn (Minion) effects easily trigger against any aggro deck, whilst control deck can still play around Learn (Spell)). Doesn't really always work as intended ofc, especially if your opponent's hand is full of minions. I've also considered a 1 mana version which gives 2 Coins, still I'm not sure about it either. Also I guess I shouldn't consider it in today's meta, and I guess in the classic set no class (except the Rogue) can do something too gamebreaking with a Coin. These cards also set the mechanic of giving cards to the opponent which will be a recurring one in future sets (but not too much, just a couple more cards like happened with evolve).

 That's all, thanks in advance for any reply!!!

Edit: I know it's not the exact number of cards for the base set yet, I'm just posting what I've done up to now.

 thanks for the replay, also for the magma image and idea; i'll try to add the sparks, but tomorrow; out of curiosity have you made any borders before?

 i'd keep dancing blades for frozen throne, and change it to a "cast this again" card; broad sword as a 3/4/2 is just better than fiery war axe; caught in two minds seems too powerfull and complex, i'd just go with watch and learn (prob the first one); everything else seems ok at first glance.

 Actually about Broadsword I confused the names... now I've edited the post. Man you are too fast xD

Also actually Caught in Two Minds has shorter text, so I was thinking of keeping it in case Deceptively Simple was chosen... Do you think I should just remove the burn damage? Would it still be playable (and also not broken)? Something to consider is that if the opponent class draws a lot and has full hand, this is not going to be useful at all (and it wastes you a turn), if that class has not much drawing it means it's probably an aggro deck, and this won't really help you as they don't need to play the Mind Blocks (if I eliminate the burn effect) because they won't really hinder their plays.

 yeah, i see what you mean by broadsword; if you want to keep caught in two minds, i suggest decreasing the cost of the spell it generates to 1;

regarding your previous reply, i could try to make you a similar border with white-ish cracks, but you kinda need to know photoshop to use it. 

Really? Thanks a lot!!! I mean I'm not sure about knowing photoshop, I've only used it a couple of times but I guess I could learn.

Posting some of my Basic ideas. Will need to rework them depending on the challenges. Let me know what you think! My class is in my signature. 

Edit - I've also been working on flavor text, I'll add the ones I have shortly.

Infect -
0 Mana spell that helps with removal. Text can be expanded since I have more 2-line cards than I thought!
Trial - "Let us know if you have any side effects so we can put it on the label!"
Part 1 of the idiom. Drug trial. Random buff to fit the Mutate rng theme, but not sure I like the idea. Might just make it give a minion +2/+1.
Error - There are no mistakes. Just happy little experiements.
Part 2 of the idiom. Lots of buff cards in the class, so this could be a draw engine. Alternatively, this card can deal damage to enemies based on its attack.
Healing Vapors - In case of emergencies break EVERYTHING!! AAAAHHHH!!!!
Group heal. Yay.
Painful Remedy - The pain means its working. Maybe.
Need better art for this. I can add "If it survives..." since, again, I have a few 2-line cards.
Dissolve - "Does it hurt?" "Blub." "So... no?"
Assassinate, summon a 2/2 for the opponent. 
Growing Ooze - Apothecaries can never have too much ooze.
Ramping minion. Compare Shade of Naxxramas. Better stats, easier to remove.
Chemical Bomb - 1. Prime the device. DO NOT INHALE. 2. Throw. DO NOT INHALE. 3. Run away. DO NOT INHALE.
Because Flame Lance sucks.
Foul Research -
Draw 3 cards. Get a minion and maybe some buffs or removals.
Acid Bath - Nothing will make you cleaner.
Not sure how to balance this, compared to Dragonfire Potion.

aww, man, i didn't make it; and i was having so much fun :'(

 Ahem,

YOU GET A WILD CARD!

1+4+5 = 10 MANA 10/10

welp, here's a dump of my cards:

 i gotta go, so i won't give explanations for all the cards (most of them are quite straightforward anyway), just a few thinks i find to be important:

Prototype: Security System: Prototypes are a type of cards specific to my class, like the preist "words" or the paladin "blessing"; they are basically based on existing cards, and most of the time they're weaker or less reliable than the originals, and the don't have to be spells (obviously not the case with the present exemple); tell me what you think about it.

Ironforge Guard and B.F.H. respect the state of the art challenge.

Strike! and Hot Iron respect the nuts//bolts challenge.

Bunker Up! respects the all or nothing challenge.

Ironforge Guard respects the perfect symetry and my one and only challenges.

The deceptively simple challenge is also respected.

 I think Strike might be fine at 3 mana if compared to Kill Command. Can't see Hot Iron in your post, I guess you forgot to add it.

Bunker Up!: well 20 armor is quite a bit, still it's fairly overpriced. However adding more than that armor would be absurd... you might want to add a secondary effect maybe? Like a card draw, attack buff to hero, or anything along these lines (obviously trying to keep in theme with your card, so the attack buff is probably not an option). 

Repair could maybe cost 3. Also not sure about Security System: can you summon classic cards with basic cards? The rest seems fine.

The cards seem fine overall, Repair might be overcosted depending on what weapons will your class actually have, but mby that is a good thing, its a basic card after all and if it were cheaper it could be a problem in the future.

I was about to say that your card texts look iffy and not centered properly and then i realized that you cant do it via HC yet, since you have a custom border. Oh well that kinda sucks, but you should probably make the HC card and copy the text part into yours after, so it has the same font and is in a proper place. Yours look a bit weird considering what we r used to :)

Btw, Strike and Scrap Storm: "equipped", double p ;-)

/edit: btw you might want to keep Bunker Up!'s effect for a Forbidden card for your class, similar to paladin's Forbidden Healing.

  yeah, i could reduce strike to 3; bunker up i balanced aroud pyroblast and forbidden healing and flame (flame deals damage equal to your mana spent, healing heals for double that, and armor is basically a source of healing); repair i'll keep at four, it's a basic card, and as @sinti said, i don't want to limit myself for future stages; not sure about security system, i might just keep the whole "prototype" thing for the classic set, if i make it;

not sure what happened to hot iron, i forgot to add both that and my other weapon; i'll edit my previous comment to add them there too once i'm done here, but here they are anyway:

 edit: i've sent you the ring, did you recieve it?

i have another idea for the forbidden card, so i guess it depends wether the challenge is picked; plus, forbidden healing isn't guaranteed 20 health because of the health cap.

i was quite curious if the whole text thing is visible, i'll do them in hearthcards once i decide on a final version; do the card names seem fine?

Well, I'll need to improve some of them but I hope they're not that bad. I have challange #1, challange #3, challange #4 and challange #6 done, but I'm not sure about the #6 - I can't think about any fitting phrase for my class :/ Right now it's "Roses are red, Violets are blue...".
