@Cogito

Thanks for the feedback!
What about Wild Pyromancer, Arcane Explosion, Babbling Book, Spellbender etc,? This current wording also effects your own minions to let the player have more control over completing the quest.
Changing it to "Set health to 1" avoids the issue of 0 attack, but Im worried about board-wide effects dominating.
Perhaps the effect could only be active when Kassan is actually alive and his health boosted (as opposed to a battlecry).

Bleh, I erased my cards when I did the review. Here you go:

 I think Rend is way too strong for 1 mana. If you have a Frothing on board and hit a minion with high health you get a ton of free procs. It's even more ridiculous if, say, you hit one of your own minions with an Armorsmith and a Frothing. You gain a ton of armor and a ton of Frothing procs. It would also be completely broken against Hydra.

Shadowy Apparitions makes it too risky to play deathrattle decks, since an enemy deathrattle priest completely screws you over. In fact, it would screw over most control decks - take paladin for example. Priest can get a free Tyrion and Rag, Lightlord. Overall it's just way too strong.

The wording on Arcane Barrage is confusing, what is it supposed to do?

 I compared Rend to Hunter's mark, so I think it's okay to hit an opponent's minion. Especially if they play Hydra. Cause why would you play Hydra. On Frothing, you turn him into a Magma Rager (Yay) and on Armorsmith, you gain a bit over Iron Hide, so it's not that powerful. So I think Rend is balanced enough.

Shadowy Apparations is a bit more useful than Heral Volazj, which is completely useless. However, I understand your whole concern with the "encourage less cool effects" on the card, especially with the whole silence your own minions thing. Should I make it cost 4? (Because the card is only powerful under certain conditions and completely useless otherwise)

Arcane Barrage deals 1 damage to ALL minions. However, for each enemy minion, Arcane Barrage costs one more mana. BUT, Arcane Barrage is played again for each enemy minion. e.g. Your opponent has 2 minions, Arcane Barrage costs 4 (2+2) and it deals 1 damage to all minions 3 times. Compare to Volcanic Potion.

 Rend isn't at all comparable to hunter's mark because it can give large buffs to your own minions. And "cause why would you play Hydra" really isn't a good argument, a decent amount of decks run Hydra. And you're talking about worse-case scenarios; if you use it on, say, your own Primordial Drake, you gain 7 attack on your Frothing and 7 armor. If you use it on their drake you still get 7 attack on your frothing. Any way you spin it that card is horrendously overpowered in warrior.

Shadowy Apparitions is just bad design in my opinion, no offense. It's either completely useless or game-breakingly OP. Those kinds of cards shouldn't exist. And especially in Wild with Rag, Sylvanas, Sludge Belcher, Shredders, it could never be balanced.

Barrage is fine balance-wise, but I don't understand making it deal its damage in increments. All that would do is slow down the animation, which we really don't need more of.

Bleh, I erased my cards when I did the review. Here you go:

Rend is a bit similar to a previous WCDC winner. It was also a 1 mana Warrior card called Rend, and it did one damage, twice. Your concept is different, so I think it would be fine if you changed the name. If you submit this as Rend, though, it will draw attention because of the similarity. 

I think Rend (once the name is changed) is the best card here. Shadowy Apparitions just doesn't seem that interesting, and Arcane Barrage seems overly complicated. I'm not 100% sure what it does, actually.

 Gotcha, does Frenzy sound like a good replacement for Rend?

Also, should I increase Rene's cost to 2 because of Frothing Beserker and Armorsmith?

Also, does Swordsmanship Tutor (above) look good?

• Plated Knuckle (Lathy, page 1): 4 Attack is too much, 3 Attack is perfect.

Ok now my final ideas:

Lunar and Black Arrow are functionnally identical to those I already showed (I changed the art for Lunar).

Boss Mida just to do some crazy stuff like shooting 4 missiles with Greater Arcane Missiles! This is an aura effect, not a permanent one and costs/stats are not affected. However cards in your hand and decks are. Neither are textual numbers (e.g. Divine Spirit won't triple health).

Defensive Hammer (name might change). No, this isn't inspired by Lathy's card. I did it before. I know that weapon that say 'Lose 1 durability when X' are not very original but being original doesn't always pay.

I actually made it cheaper, so now it's a 3 mana 4/1 :P It was suggested by quite a few actually. Another change is, that it can't attack heroes, so I think that helps quite a lot. You still think it's too powerful?

As for your cards... It's 3 PM.. or AM, I'm never sure. It's 3 during the night, so I'll review it tomorrow.

 Yeah, the restriction is probably enough. May be the future winner BTW. Still waiting for your review. Tell me If my cards are still not good enough.

Ok, it's a majority for Black Arrow I guess.

@Cogito: As others have said Frenzy for 2 mana is good. Imo you should change the art too.

Posted on a very strong page. Hope it won't affect my (well, our) chances.

 One thing I didn't think about in my feedback before regarding Rend is that, aside from its other synergies, it would break Gurubashi Berserker. If you were to play one and have it survive a turn, you'd get an instant 18+ extra attack for 2 (I'm pretty sure you changed it since this) mana. Then again at least, Warsong Commander wouldn't make it an OTK.

I think I posted mine too late...there's too little submissions on my page.

I AM DOOMED I SAY! DOOMED!
