So I finally got some time to try to come up with some cards and here they are:

The Necromancer

That's all, I will probably add an explication for each card later, but right now I'm going to sleep. I will also try to re pay with some opinions of my own 'cus I was pretty quiet last thread.

Note: The tokens generated by the cards are the same of the Hero Power. And if somebody has a better name for some of this cards I'm all ears, English isn't my native language and I not that creative jajajaja.

Alrighty, I got my first draft of my basic set down. Pretty sure I nailed down the challenges except for nuts and bolts. I talked to a friend about the phrase I used: "Holding fire in one hand and holding water in the other". It basically means you say one thing and then say or do another but it seems like an unused proverb in the west.

In any case. Excuse the formatting, I'll be sure to make my final submission all fancy-like.

The five I will (probably) present and, yes, I know Sea Elemental is missing its tribal tag: 

So. These 5 cards show the player:

1. There is synergy to be had when holding Ocean Depths in hand
2. You can add other cards to your deck, not just Ocean Depths
3. Adding card to your deck is synergestic
4. A simple, non-keyword interaction with deck size
5. There are other ways to add Ocean Depths to your deck, other than your Hero Power

Finding Mobus token:

The remaining cards are below:

 I'm quite busy, but if anyone needs a quick look-over, I would be more than happy to drop a few comments for their submissions.

Man, I've been having a hard time trying to figure out my class' basic set. I think I got a pretty good idea though.

Reminder of my class

The ones I'm sure of

Cool ones I think fit, but not sure if they fit in the basic set

Please, I'm struggling so much

- Detonate is more of a minion-finisher, as most spells will have high spell damage and minions probably won't survive it.

- Flame (with Charge) I find it really cool. It works as both a minion and spell, and interacts with Spell Damage too. Tried to make it as weak as I possibly could so it wouldn't be as cancerous.

- Fiery Spirit is to show that the class is not only about spells, but can allow for some minion interaction and aggro too.

- Fuel is supposed to support Mana-spending which is something that will show up often in the class.

I finally made some stuff.

I'm still undecided about my hero power. Here are my options (with a basic synergy associated)

Option #1 "2 random damage" (current one)

Option #2 "switching Hero Power"

The player will start with "Deal 2 damage"

Option #3 "Topdeck screwer"

Option #4 with my custom "Roast" mechanic

At first I didn't want to put my keyword on my Hero Power (simplicity etc.), but I noticed that a lot of people did put their keyword on their Hero Power. Also Blizzard themselves didn't bother expliciting what a "basic Totem" is on Totemic Call.

---

Now for the basic cards

1/ Cards I'm pretty sure I want in my basic set (or at least a variation of them)

The "15 or less cards" mechanic is of course an indirect synergy with Roast.

In addition to those, I will add the "Skilled Cook" card associated with the Hero Power I will pick (except in #4).

2/ Cards I'm not sure about

/!\ There is A LOT of cards in this spoiler. Be prepared!

TOKENS:

NOTES:

• The "regurgitate" on "Eat Alive" means that the destroyed minion will be resummoned for its player.
• "Dragonbreath Chili" deals damage to minions opposite your hero. If a player has an even number of minions, the two at the center will be damage. If a player has an odd number of minions, only the one at the center will be damaged. The idea is that the hero spits fire in from of him.

I know I still don't have anything that fits challenge #3, I will deal with this later. I first want to focus on the cards' effects and then I will shove #3 into two of them in one way or another.

...and I don't resist to the urge of showing you what is next if make it to the next rounds!

BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE!

In addition to helping me with artworks, @Schlauchneid made two version of a brand new card border for my class. Here they are!

The difference between then is that nothing protudes on the text box on the second one. Which is best?

Thanks for your answers!

Ok, i need some advice on a few things.

1) What version do you like better? Most ppl said they dont think Reckless Brawler is a good name/art for the effect and i can agree to that, so i made a second version. Tho i would be keeping the name+art for a future minion, too good not to.

2) How stupid is this ?:D Also, the name is a placeholder, tho it does feel funny in a cool way, given what it does :D Feel free to suggest a name for the card.

Rest of my stuff:

Ok I think I'm almost done. Tell me what you think about these cards:

(Hero and Hero Power reminder)

 Basic Set:

Ok so these are 5 of the 6 cards with 2 lines or less of text. Chain Reaction satisfies the 6th challenge and Chain is my 'Nothing'. Razor Blades's token is the same as the hero power's. (edit: Reaction doesn't fit 2 lines anymore, it's now below).

Now 5 more cards:

I'm quite confident about the first 2 cards. The token of Storm of Blades is the same as the hero power's.

Dancing Blades could be better in KoFT with a Defile-like effect. That said I thought I needed another partial aoe in the set, but it might not be the case.

Hidden Blade... I can't word it to be clear enough, but when I say "destroy it" I obviously mean the minion. How could I word it better? Also I might change the name to avoid too many 'Blades' (still it could become a mechanic like the hunter's 'Shots').

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

Edit: the new weapon border is coming thanks to NiRaSt, but it will still take me a while. For now I'll post the old version of the cards.

Ok so above is my old post, I've edited a couple of cards and removed Blue Sanctuary. Below I'll post my new ideas (I'm still working on them but any review will be appreciated- also thanks to @Broeck1 for the tips).

Here are 3 examples for a secondary minion for my class. I hadn't introduced the crystal theme in the basic set so I thought this could be a fitting non-weapon related choice. 

Here instead we have some possible spells... I have to say I like the first one a lot and I'm probably going to use it, still I might find place for the second one too.

Right now the idea is to remove Dancing Blades and Broadsword to fit Hardened Elemental and Mind Shield. Still I want to hear some opinions first...

Which ones among these cards look good? Which cards should I remove for them? Thanks in advance for any reply!

Ok I have redone the set and I think more of the identity comes through now.  Any thoughts?

 I think this attempt got lost in the page I posted it.  I'll trade feedback with someone if they would like?

 Yeah I'd say the second one feels more fitting, also about the card... it's not that bad... I mean, +4 attack should cost slightly more than 1, maybe 2, "ignore taunt" is a weakened mass dispel (2.5 mana without card draw) that only silences taunt effects and only works for one minion. Considering all this it might even seem weak, but knowing the potential aggro uses I'd say it's probably borderline balanced.

Edit: right, the name, I'd say maybe a sword is not appropriate (still it might just be me)... what about a spear? Something that gives the idea of piercing taunts.

Hardened Elemental: holy shit, why ppl hate arena so much :D literally Volcanosaur with like the best options from adaptations :D

Violet Crusher: good card.

Golden Guardian: i dont think the damage part should be there, just say "Ater this attacks an enemy hero, add a Coin to your opponent's hand." or mby even "... to their hand.", but im not sure about this part.

Mind Shield: hmm, kinda like my Parry (except my card doesnt stop spell dmg). It should read "Draw a card".

Diversion: im not sure about this card, i want to say its fine, but im not sure. Probably is.

Ok I guess I actually never consider arena impact of my cards... whoops xD

Also about Golden Guardian I was worried about the interactions with cards like Misdirection that could make it attack one hero and damage another one... but I guess adding "enemy" should solve the issue, thanks!

Mind Shield is mostly to trade minions with weapons without dying... also what do you think about the substitutions? (Last question of my post)

Quote from Demonxz95 >>

Does anybody have any suggestions on what to add to my Basic set? It's more difficult when you don't want to have cards too similar to other cards you have in other sets.

Tell me about it lol. I had the hardest time finishing my basic set and am not even sure if its done yet. I do have some neat ideas, but like i cant put them all in basic set lol. Most of my ideas would be solved with adding "Draw a card.", if i were to make them spells but like i cant have half my basic set cycle cards :D Will have to wait for later sets when i can put it on minions. Will also allow me to use other keywords like deathrattle and will have text longer than 2 lines lol. Basic set can SUCK IT! :D

I had a card idea, but then it turns out CheeseEtc had the exact same card (Fry). As for the lack of AoE, I already have two AoEs in my Classic set and trying to make them different from them is hard.

And yet... I was the one who wrote the guide.

@NiRaSt

Future Sight costs 0 to fit the first challenge.

i've decided to increase the cost of this weapon, since it was a strictly better fireball, and it limited the design of weapon upgrades (the F stands for Fat; i mention this so people focus on the card, not the name)

people suggested i make this card cost 0, but i feel that was before knowing it revents the minion from attacking; i'm planing on having more cards that force the enemy to attack my hero, and i want to be clear how this effect works; (i don't need a 0 cost for the challange)

i only want opinions on the art here (i won't make it cheaper since i want to experiment with cards with high durability)

i made a version balanced on fiery war axe instead of assassin's blade since some people said 4 durability is too much (also, does Prototype: Fiery War Axe sound ackward?

on this one i want some advice for the art.
