Hello darkness my old friend

Thinking about this card some more today, i think it has become one of my favourite cards in this entire competition. It actually has so much depth in it and fits very well in the WOG set, since it basically interacts with all the Old Gods.

Combined with your hero power, you can stall out any card (like Nzoth for example) to when you would like to draw it or play it and gain an additional copy of it with this card. The beauty of it and the thing that in my eyes makes this balanced is, that you will have to invest some mana down the line via your hero power to keep shuffling the card you want to copy later on out of the top of your deck. One small thing im a bit sad about is that i think your hero power looks at 4 cards, not 3 as i suggested back in the Phase II, which makes it a bit easier to shuffle the desired card one card further into the deck, but thats not end of the world.

Another very cool thing about this card is, that if a play like i described above became a power play, Gnomeferatu would actually be a pretty good tech card, since you would know what the top card of your opponent's deck would be, if he played this as a copy of that turn prior. And as much as i hate deck/hand attacks, i wouldnt actually mind this one bit, since you would have already played the discarded card once, so you wouldnt be in the end denied the card, but you wouldnt get the additional value in form of the second copy.

And then it could develop into some interesting mindgames, where you would shuffle the card you would want to get as second, not first, in the order you would put them back on top of your deck, to play around Gnomeferatu. Ahaha, this card has so much potential to bring very interesting plays and counter-plays into the game. Nice! 

Nope. My Hero Power does indeed look at 3 cards.

You might be thinking of Future Sight which looks at 4.

Ok, a bunch of changes to my class. I changed up the challenge cards and replaced most of my Murlocs. Many of them need some explanation, so I'm breaking up the post a bit. Any feedback you have would be appreciated! Here's my keyword again.

Main Questions:
1 - Do you like the merge idea for Splice and Corpse Hybrid?
2 - How much should Convergence cost?
3 - What do you think of Abercrombie?
4 - What do you think of Maniacal Laughter and Restock the Lab?

First, some minor changes to my Classic set

Changed Patchwork Golem's art. His previous art will be used for Festergut later on.

The first For Science! on the left is the original. It's fun, but subject to very frustrating RNG. The other 2 are replacement options. I'm partial to Healing Tonic (compare Holy Wrath) but the 2nd For Science! gives flexible card draw.

 Next, the challenge cards.

Warped Subject, based on the Basic card Test Subject, fulfills the first 2 challenges. Dark Queen is challenge 3. In lore, the Apothecaries of the Undercity answer only to Sylvanas Windrunner. This card is in homage to her, but I prefer the Battlecry to Deathrattle for this minion.

 Next, my new cards that feature a 'merge' mechanic

The idea is the Old Gods inspire some dark ideas in the Alchemist, creating Patchworks using other minions. Splice gives the target a buff that includes the stats and text (keywords, effects) of the discovered minion. Corpse Hybrid gets 2 buffs. As with any buff, Silence removes the effect. Splice would be fun to use on Warped Subject to also buff C'Thun.

An important note is that these cards cannot discover a Charge minion like Woldrider.

Convergence, inspired by Dead Space, lets you turn a board of weenies into a fat Taunt minion. Not sure what cost would be balanced. This combos VERY well with the Legendary...

Abercrombie is a Hermit from Duskwood. In WoW, he convinces players into gathering reagents, then uses them to make Stitches and attack Darkshire. This lets you get an 8/8 out cheap when you run an aggressive deck and wipe the board with Convergence or the Basic / Classic aoes. Tinkering with stats and costs, let me know what you think.

 And the rest of the cards!

Mur'Ghoul - the Warcraft name for Zombie Murlocs. More Murloc synergy in future sets, as they fit the swarming and buffing themes of the class.
Writhing Tonic - With Splice providing a buff, this is changed to deal damage. Compare with Blood To Ichor and Disciple of C'Thun, not sure what this should cost. The Tentacle is the same art as from Forbidden Ritual.
Shifting Sludge - Weaken an enemy, buff a friendly's attack or health to trade. Flexible Vol'jin inspired card.
Maniacal Laughter - Fun card inspired by Renounce Darkness. RNG away your cards for better ones. 
Dubious Cocktail - Based on Dubious Food from Breath of the Wild. A semi-drinkable sludge that can buff your kill a minion.
Restock the Lab - Finally, a card with little text! But is this too good for it's cost? Apothecaries lack burst damage, but have a few single-target buffs, removals, and flexible Mutate cards.

Can one make changes in the basic and classic set?

I do not know if there is an existing example of discover that does not actually add the card to your hand, other than FFA, which explicitly says to summon it, and Finley, where you simply cannot add a Hero Power to your hand.
