Okay, after much thought, I think I have decided on what my example cards are going to be. I haven't figured out what I'm going to do for my portrait exactly, but here's everything I've got for my class so far:

The Worgen Class

Lore:

Centuries ago, the Lords of Winter’s Fall fell victim to the Worgen curse. The exact circumstances are shrowded in mystery, but the lord who brought the curse upon his family was a renowned mage. A small, secluded principality in the Alterac Mountains, Winter’s Fall was completely cut off from the outside world after this calamity, to hide their lord’s embarassment. In time, the lords learned to control their Worgen curse, shapeshifting at will between human and wolf form, but the curse was never lifted, nor could they remain as humans for long, and so their kingdom’s long isolation continued. Recently, the new lord of Winter’s Fall, Howe Hark, has learned that a new kingdom of Worgen, Gilneas. With the threat posed by the Forsaken, he has ended his seclusion and brought his forces to the aid of Gilneas and the alliance. The Young Wolf, as he is known, is known for both his brilliant military strategy and savagery on the field of battle. Mastery of his Worgen form means he is alternately rallying his loyal men into battle and tearing out the hearts of his enemies.

The Worgen class centers around shifting between Worgen and Human form. Using the Worgen Form hero power (which you start the game with) gives you +1 Attack that turn and transforms you into a Worgen. This changes your hero power to Human Form, but you can’t use it until the next turn. When Human Form is used, your Hero heals 2 health and transforms into a human. The unique keywords of the class are Worgen and Human:

Cards with these keywords trigger an extra effect if you play them while you're in that form. Human/Worgen keyword cards are inefficient if played in the wrong form and extra efficient if played while in the right form. One of the key mechanics of the class is switching between forms at the right times to efficiently play cards.

There is a binary theme to the class, based on the two forms you switch between. Howe Hark has cards that focus on the savagery of his Worgen form, dealing damage or buffing attack, similar to Druid shapeshift-themed cards, and also cards that focus on supporting or buffing his minions, representing how he inspires and leads his men while in human form. There are also several secondary themes. The class has cards themed to snowy Alterac homeland of Howe Hark (including Freeze cards). There are also going to be cards that focus on class cards, representing the solidarity of Worgen. 

Because of the hero power and binary theme, the class is well-suited for hybrid playstyles, and lots of cards will be versatile. If the hero power is used effectively, Worgen excels at tempo, since Human/Worgen cards are mana efficient when in the right form. This is also a weapon class, and both cards and your hero power buff your attack and restore health, so it is good at controlling the board, as well. Some of these control tools could be repurposed for Aggro, as well, especially in a Pirate deck.

These cards represent several of these themes:

 

 

Beast Within:  This is an example of a Worgen removal card. While there will be direct damage, one of the themes is increasing your hero's attack, representing Howe's vicious Worgen side. This is also an example of a card using the Worgen keyword. If played in human form, this card is inefficient, while it has great value while played in Worgen form.

Howe's Steward: While some cards will be like Beast Within, there will be others like this one that have both the Human and Worgen keywords. This are inefficient, but more versatile. The two choices you have represent the aggressive theme of Worgen and the supportive theme of Human. Human-themed cards will also do things like buff your minions and support them in other ways.

Winter Has Come: This is an example of both an Alterac-themed card (my original Worgen character is from Alterac if you didn't read the lore) and the theme of interacting with class minions. In this case, the class interaction represents the hardiness of your units. 

And there are a ton more cards I made in the Spoiler below. Let me know if you think I chose poorly for my example cards.

Test Basic Set:

 

 

 I've no idea whether your hero power suits the competition, but I think your example cards are not fancy enough - especially Winter Has Come. The rule says that you're not required to include your example cards at phase I in the following phases, and I feel that you may try making something more creative: things like what we usually submit in WCD. This is a competition where all things are decided by upvotes and polls, and only by making attractive-at-first-glance cards can you win.

How are people putting columns in their submissions? That seems like a great idea but I don't see how to do it with these posting tools.

I'm also really liking a lot of these classes. Some of my favorites from those recently discussed are the Worgen, the Dryad, and the Operative. There's a real lot of creativity in this contest, and I'm surprised by how few repeat ideas there are!

So, here is my new hero, replacing the Apothecary. Her name is still being debated. The Chronomancer is a class that can play primarily as a ramp, combo, or fatigue deck. It'll have access to bounces, good card draw, and ways to slow the opponent or rapidly enhance their own board. It will not have a keyword, and will not use secrets or weapons. I'm not sure about the balance of Past and Future, Present, primarily in regards to Leeroy Jenkins. The three cards posted are what I plan to submit. Let me know what you think!

 I don't understand what the difference is between Borrowed Time and The Coin.

 I was planning on just not having one, but another option is to just copy-paste someone's post and replace their text/images with your own. That's kinda the easy way out XD.

Ok so I think I am close to being ready for submission.  Before I make it I just wanted to post what I have come up with and make sure I'm submitting the right 3 cards.

The Orator

The cards I intend to submit are:

The other possible choices that I have come up with are in the spoiler.  Are any of them better examples?
