If I make it summon 2 1/3 briarthorn is gonna be fine I think. Void walker is 1 mana 1/3 with taunt... or 1/2 is better?

Here's my stuff. First 5 are showcase.

Token:

Midterm season has just started for me so I might go quiet for a bit until the deadline.

 I do like the flavor behind the concept. 

Personal opinion I will make the verdant sphere a weapon which lose durabity when cast a spell but as a minion is ok too (even because you will have problem with the lines restriction) 

banish i think is too powerfull. That minion will get stuck in the opponent board forever lol 

Here's a mock-up of my submission, barring any additional changes. Feedback as always is appreciated; still not sure about the Kel'Thuzad roleplay. Makes it hard to talk plainly about archetypes and combos. Let me know if I should change up which cards I showcase, as well.

The Lich

You are a foolish mortal, you know that? You dare to come before the great Archlich Kel'Thuzad, keeper of the cold and deliverer of death? I should turn you into an icicle, a statue frozen in time to remain a symbol for what happens to my enemies! ...oh? You've come to learn the ways of the dead and dying? You are bold, but I approve. Come, my new apprentice, come and see the power of the Lich! The might of the Scourge can be yours, and more, if you but lay down your life and serve me...in death!

Example Cards

• Rise Again - If you want to be a competent necromancer, bringing minions back from the dead is step one. Obviously. Minions freshly killed are the easiest to resummon, rewarding them for a job well done after trading into enemy forces or defending you from attack.
• Detonate Mana - Ah, a classic spell. Why simply blow up an enemy when you cause them to blow up their friends, then watch in satisfaction as guilt tears them down? They already think you're the evil one; might as well enjoy it.
• Freezing Wind - Occasionally the mortals attack in large groups; you'll need to be ready for these "raids" on your inner sanctum. Thankfully they tend not to dress for the weather: a cold gust of air and they'll be frozen solid.
• Skeletal Guard - Steven the Skeleton has always been there for me. Strong and sturdy, he makes for a fine guardian...although, given how many times I've revived him, I'm starting to wonder if he resents the position.
• Frozen Soul - When we Freeze our enemies, the heat escapes and must go somewhere. We capture it and...I'm just messing with you, the healing comes from magic. Dark magic.

Other Cards

• Frost Orb - I haven't yet determined how the Orb actually Freezes people. Is it so cold they turn to ice when it touches them, or do they lose their minds staring into the Orb itself? Either way, it works for me.
• Shattering Blast - If I kept every statue of a wannabe-crusader that came through my doorstep, I wouldn't have any room to move. I make the interns sweep up after I've taken my day out on the icicles. It's just like popping bubble-wrap.
• Shadow Fissure - It never ceases to amaze me how often the fools don't bother to look down. They're too busy attacking you, so they fail to notice the spell charging beneath their feet. Endlessly entertaining.
• Dark Binding - Look, it's a lot easier to just patch up the forces you have instead of constantly trying to revive the fallen. Duct tape will keep a skeleton together, but it won't rip a soul back to the realm of the living.
• Frost Armor - Sometimes Steven is not enough, talented though he may be. Apply a bit of the old Frost Armor on a minion, and they too can stand in the way of an oncoming enemy. Your sacrifice will be acknowledged, peon whose name I have forgotten!

I'm not very good at commenting just yet, but here's my opinion:

Rise Again:
I felt that Rise Again maybe too cheap as the player can still have a level of control of what they'll summon. It can cost 4 similar to eternal servitude or the word *last can be *random.

Detonate Mana
Maybe just the name of the card confused me as I was expecting some sort of mana destruction too :P

Freezing Wind, Skeletal Guard, Frozen Soul: Looks okay and balanced!

Frost Orb, Shadow Fissure: If the class is weak at card draw, maybe some can be similar with hunter who trades something to draw. But I don't know if you changed your mind as for your class weakness :)

Frost Armor: I think the name can also fit with Diving Shield.

Other than that, I think that the cards are simple enough for the Basic and still captures your chilly class :)

You can also have a Cryostasis! Freeze a character and restore X health.
That is if you want your class to only heal single characters at a time.

Also thank you for your comments on my cards as well :)

Sorry for not posting for a while. Reviewing classes is really time consuming, and some cards are so unique i don't have something to compare them to. It's hard to say when something is OP or not. Anyways, feedback for the most recent versions:

That's all the time i have for reviews right now. I'll try to do more later today. Now, my class:

Unchanged cards:

 Sanguine Rune has been difficult to balance. I want it to let you re-use your spells (not just generate random ones like mage does), but it allows for an infinite cycle. I ended up on these 2 options:

The 2 mana version makes the infinite combo hard to do. With no mana cost reduction planned for spells, casting 5 copies of this spell in a turn seems somewhat balanced. Mana Addict and friends won't get too out of control. the 1 mana version is cheaper, but harder to control. Having only 2 spells in the deck is not an options for my class, so guaranteeing the combo is impossible. i personally like the 2 mana version more, but what do you think?

I dropped Crocodilian Guard, as it was too complex and powerful for a basic card. I still wanted a minion that buffs your Hero Power, so i made this:

Blood to Fire normally does 2 damage to a target and 2 to your hero. After Crimson Healer buffs it, it will deal 2 to another target and restore 2 to your hero, thus you gain 4 Health overall (+2 hp instead of -2). You can also target your hero with it and restore a total of 4 health.

That's all from me for now. What cards do you think should be my showcase? I'm thinking Sethrak Scout (shows the base synergy of the class: get damaged and you get rewarded), Heartpiercer (shows the theme of health being use in more ways that just a resource), Bloodflame Bolt (basic removal, with self damage synergy) Sanguine Rune (spellslinger/spell caster aspect; re-using spells, not generating new ones) and Blood Nova (flavorful boardclear). What do you think?

Feedback is welcomed and encouraged!

For the sanguine  Rune why don't you use the "next thing" mechanic?

Add a copy of the next spell you will play (or something like that)

For the rest of the cards the only one that i personally don't like is Melt but just because i never saw this kind of mechanic in the game .

It would still allow for an infinite combo with 2 of these in hand.

Edit: I said some dumb stuff, ignore it please.

Thanks Noah_McGrath for your comments:

For my class:

I agree that look is a vague phrase, as I only followed hearthstone glimmer root and tracking. The reveal in HS seems to work only inside decks and both players see the card that is revealed. I quite agree that it is clearer term, but it does differently. "Look" is used by Tracking and Curious Glimmeroot, but compared to reveal you're the only one who can see it.

As an Infiltrator, I wanted the enemy to not know what you know. Arrrgh it's a bit difficult XD.

As for my win condition, I'm having a hard time to figure it out just yet. I have some plans but thanks for pointing it out.

As for your class, here's my opinion:

Sanguine Rune 2-cost is more playable as it is similar to Tess Greymane's hero power, but just a bit weaker. If you choose 1 cost it I think should read "Add a copy of the last spell you've drawn."

I'm not so sure about the HeartPiercer cost, but maybe fine as Priest's Shadow Word: Death is similar.

Do you think Crimson Healer will still fit your goal if it reads: Battlecry: Your next Hero Power reads: "Restore X health to your hero."
Otherwise, it could be lifesteal but can't be on basic yet.

 It's not really lifesteal, as you don't heal from the damage. You heal intead of dealing damage. Like Auchenai converts healing to damage, Crimson Healer converts damage to healing. All the damage the HP would deal to your hero is transformed into healing. It works similary to lifesteal on other targets (deal 2 heal for 2), but if you target your hero you gain 4. If it was lifesteal, it would deal 4 to you, then heal you for 4, thus you gaining nothing. There's a subtle but important difference that makes this card very versatile.

Quote from Noah_McGrath >>

• Deadwind Scythe seems kinda out of place. From a fantasy standpoint, a melee weapon isn't very fitting for a spellcaster.

This is why I'm always worried about people not playing warcraft.

Warlocks are able to wield staves, and scythes are categorized as either polearms or staves. The weapon in particular is actually an artifact weapon called Ulthalesh, the Deadwind Harvester and is a Warlock-exclusive weapon. Blood Mages are primairly mages, especially now that they are led by Rommath, but many still use fel energy which explains why I have some fel magic and Warlock weapons. Furthermore, this weapon is favoured by Warlocks using the Affliction skill tree, and one of their skills is Summon Darkglare, which is why I chose that demon on the weapon's text.

I won't respond to (but I will take into account) your other feedback for now, but I would like to clarify this point first and foremost. I do a lot of research when I make classes, I rarely just make a random name up.

 I know warlocks used scythes sometimes, but i didn't really see the bloodmage as a warlocks. Since Uthalesh is such an important weapon, why did you make it basic? I hate the fact that Gorehowl and Doomhammer are epic cards. They should all be legendary. Perhaps you could look at some older warlock weapons from the classic days. Or use heirloom weapons, like Arcanite Reaper.

@Noah_McGrath Oh it works that way! 

To make it clearer,.. what if: Any damage your hero takes from your Hero Power converts it to healing instead.

And maybe not battlecry, but this is just my oppinion :)

@linkblade91

Changing Precise Forging is a good idea. I'll probably make it 3 mana, but I feel free to experiment with other numbers.

Parry uses a shot from the second fight with Hornet. It's blurry, because quality was not that good. I am gonna try to find same art with better quality.

Nimble Shield gives Taunt, but nothing else. You pay 1 mana to defend yourself with minions you have on the board. This card depends on how many minions do you have, so it can be either good (giving 5-6 minions Taunt) or just bad (giving 1-2 minions). However, change you propose is really worth consideration.

Monarch Wings have the mechanic I wanted to be the 'core' or just one of the main features in my class. It may be too complicated for the basic card, unfortunately. I have two options: leave it as it is or replace it with another card draw. So far, I haven't decided which one is better.

Anyway, thanks for feedback ! I will try to give some on your Lich class, too.

The Bug

Unchanged cards:

Here are some of my changed cards:

 ====>>>> 

====>>>> (it changed to the better quality art)

I'm still not sure about Monarch Wings. I have an idea for a rework

====>>>> (?) 

However, I still don't know if the second version is better.

Feedback really appreciated ! :)

@SunnoxPL

The knight looks soooo adorable! Most of cards seem balanced :)

Pure Defenses should read: Gain 4 Armor, twice.

I don't know why Precise Forging needs the (+2 Attack/+2 Durability). It's pretty clear without that since Captain Greenskin does without.

Parry art looks way better. Is this your artwork?

Monarch Wings: I myself am having a hard time balancing draw. (Idk if 1 card draw is worth 3 points or 3.5 points?) Anyways, the destroy requirement is a nice add on to the spell to prevent it from being OP.
