I don't think a guaranteed 1/1 is that OP, as it'll usually just get pounded by a higher quality 1-drop or a Hero Power. As for the artwork, I think this has the same feel as your card's effect: http://i.imgur.com/xdBjAFR.jpg

 The last one I came up with as an example of something that Freezes your own minions, after feedback from Alpine Wolf. I thought it would be good to make a cheap card with lots of downsides. Are the downsides good enough for this though?

Forcing your opponent to draw isn't always a draw back, especially for mill decks. Most mill effects are symmetrical, forcing both players to draw. Only 3 cards in HS do not have symmetrical mill, that's Dancing Sword, Deathlord [/card] and [card]Naturalize. Sometimes Desert Camel can cause an asymmetric draw, if you've got no 1 drops, though I've never heard of a Hunter Mill deck before. Not saying asymmetric mill is completely off limits, I'd just recognize that it's rare and consider whether your card opens up broken Mill combos.

Drawing cards for your opponent is always valued as a drawback in Hearthstone. Dancing Swords and Deathlord both have stats above the mana curve because of this, and Naturalize is much cheaper than Assassinate because of the draw. Every card that does asymetrical draw gives a mana discount, so I should get a mana discount, too. I don't see how you could possibly draw a different conclusion. 

Ok, so here are my initial ideas... It isn't all of them but for right now I feel like these can cover the class:

Rogue Witchdoctor Tokens:

Bilge Lurker Token:

 So yeah, if you check the blurb below Immo's portrait you can see that I mentioned that he's a bit reckless (and he STEALS EVERYTHING! AHHH *rage mode activate*). These are definitely strong cards, but its hard to be able to play them by duplicating it with your hero power and then spitting them out at the same time (with the exception of the obvious Pilfer combo.

I made that especially the case with the board clear. 9 mana deal that much damage and then steal what survives is no doubt probably the most powerful card this class will ever get, control wise, but unless you HP Pilfer into a 7 cost Tidal Wave! and play The Coin, its never gonna happen (that draw out a life saving board clear can only happen T10 btw). 

I also made sure that you can acquire really good cards, but very scarcely (As seen from the 1/4 chance to get the burst heal from Rogue Witchdoctor). Again I say this class will be hitting all tribes, and all the general mechanics (not class ones), but they won't be too easy to acquire, and hopefully I can roll with that in the future.

Of course I also want to allow better Tempo plays, as stockpiling the Loot! cards can make the aforementioned hard to play much easier to play and much more beneficial. Just focus your plays so you don't give too much, and the rewards will flood in. And who doesn't like a mass Bilge Lurker infestation ;)

What do you guys think of the cards? Also I can't decide if any of these are showcase worthy yet, besides Tidal Wave! of course.

@Asylum_Rhapsody oops forgot that part... welp, back to the board

Also

Dhelmise isn't really talked about besides the fact that players want it to become the president... Here's a concept of what I got so far. Trying to incorperate its Ghost/Grass typing.

This whole "You can't use almost any mechanic for basic cards" thing is really annoying

I know, but the keyword restrictions are kinda arbitrary basing it upon what keywords are already in use by basic cards. Charge is fine, but stealth is not? Stealth is my only real gripe, cause it is somewhat important to the flavour of my class, and is also a very simple mechanic.

Thank you very much to ShadowsOfSense for giving me a Wild Card! 

Was wondering if this is too boring (since it's very similar to Thing From Below) but remember its cost reduces off opponent's Dragons too (ie the Whelps you summon for them off other class cards)

Huh, I really cut it close there.

So, regarding the second challenge and given the theme of my class, I just can't go with anything other than the Time Travel Pokemon itself: Celebi (I could go for Dialga but I'm not really a fan of that one). I've been looking for some art but I'm not sold on anything just yet so if anyone's got something good please let me know.

Also, I'm considering (nothing certain as of yet) maybe making Celebi the Legendary card for Challenge 3, since it's a Legendary Pokemon an all (Mythical, technically, but it's pretty close). Is that allowed? And if it is, do I only show 4 cards? I feel it might actually be disadvantageous to do so, but I wanted to ask anyway.

Reminder of the Class idea:

As for the Basic Set itself, this is what I've gotten so far:

 As it stands, my most likely example cards will be these, though I'm not sure on the third one yet. Any feedback appreciated.

Wow okay time to get the early idea up so I can start balancing based on the feedback. Here's a reminder of what my hero is.

 Anyway here is a very early idea of what I'm gonna submit:

Dragonscale Greatsword: A powerful control weapon that can be used to gain armor by killing small minions or to heal a little when killing big minions but also has the possibility of being used as an aggressive deck's finisher.

Plated Dragon Armor: A strong defensive card that can turn a dragon into a large wall the opponent has to get through and also gains you a small amount of armor. (This one could also be +1/+3 and Taunt if the card is to weak I need feedback on this one.)

Strength in Number: A very power removal option as the game continues on and more Whelps get into the deck and I made it not able able to attack heroes to push a more control focus instead of a massive burst attack. (Although I'm thinking about reducing the cost to 4 but it depends on what others think is balanced.)

 Sky Serpent: A card that is strong should it be able to kill any minion as it doesn't need to attack in order to transform. (Needs balnce in stats I know. I was tired and as of writing of this I still am.)

Sitora, The Dragon Mother: A extremely powerful card that provides something early game but is mainly to get a Jarraxxus like affect that you'll see in one of the spoilers below.

Now here's the rest of the basic cards.

 Now here's the tokens for the other non-basic cards

 Anyway that is my designed in 2 hours round two cards. Any thoughts or feedback on all of this as I appreciate any and all feedback. :)
