Here's the first thing I came up with, I hope the effect is 'infectuous' enough. I'm probably going to try to come up with something else as well.
Will try to comment and submit at same time, because I like the idea of resummoning minions for opponent, repeatedly. The idea of which decks would want to use it for what purposes seems interesting to me. And balancing risk / reward plays (drawbacks / gains).
When or for what purpose would I want to include and play Manipulative Imp ? I can think of maybe this being buff target, but then again, I would prefer some other ones probably.
My own attempt:
In aggro / tempo matchups, it can have good tempo potential, for a drawback of helping opponent defend and gain more tempo over me. In control / combo matchups, I risk helping them gain advantage sooner, or need suicide right away for possible discounts on my own combo.
When tempo and combo decks face each other, I can either play it and hope for the best (as either side, attacker or defender), or hold to it to try get more information / time before playing it in better situation (e.g. as control, waiting til aggro players empties his hand, as aggro, waiting until I don't have better / other threats).
Overall, I'd use it for many decks, and may play it in many matchups, but need to think in what situations (not auto-pilot type of card).
Three ideas. All build on the idea of passing a "curse" (vampire/werewolf) onto someone else.
I'm not sure which is better, if any are good at all, and I'm not sure if it's better with: "After this deals damage to a minion" or "After this attacks a minion"?
Lastly, I've worded it as "pass this effect onto it" instead of "give it this card text", as I feel it could be misunderstood in a way so ALL card texts would be passed onto the next target.

The lifesteal spell is really weak. Lightforged Blessing has almost the same effect, but it costs 2 because of twinspell. It doesn't have a drawback in comparison to your spell, so I don't know what combos you envisioned with that curse mechanic.
Regarding the bloodsucker - he is too good imho. I'm a warlock player and my beloved archtype is control/handlock. If I include the 4/4 in my deck, it would present almost no drawbacks there. Giving enemy minions lifesteal would be completely irrelevant for me, because my deck strategy would be to survive and deal with the opponent's aggression. The only flaw I can think of would be the absence of an immediate boarding impacting mechanic, but this can be solved by playing a Sunfury Protector/Defender of Argus.
I would have liked to have this in the Baku era...
The artwork you used for Brain Parasite is already used in game: Shadowfiend.
Lobotomy also has 5 lines of text, so you will need to shorten it. Not having a new line after "take 1 damage" will probably fix this.
Thank you for the feedback! I'm new here, and I couldn't find any information about how to pick or make new artworks. I've seen many people reuse old or token artwork or ripping off some mtg artworks... any advice as to how to find adequate artworks to employ?

Usually just typing "_ _ _ _ fantasy art" in Google Images is how I (and probably most other people) get their artwork. Ideally, sites like Artstation could have some artwork to use.
If you want to use Blizzard art, some websites like blizzart will give you that.
If worse comes to worse though, using MTG artwork is not necessarily a bad thing. I've used MTG artwork to make some of my cards before (both accidentally, and intentionally). Case and point:

It has 5 lines of text, so it needs to be shortened. It's an unwritten rule of Hearthstone that all cards have 4 lines of text or less, as every existing English card has 4 lines of text or less. While your card won't be disqualified for this, it's unlikely that it will get many, if any, votes.
Tip for first timers: You should post your card in the Discussion Topic first, so you can get feedback on what to change. Once you've finalized everything about the card, then you should post it in the Submission Topic.
I realize this is stretching the rules a bit, but does this count?
Also, bumping my original card because it got no feedback.
The idea is that you get a random Shaman spell to your hand, that when you cast it... adds another random Shaman spell to your hand, that when you cast it... adds another random Shaman spell to your hand, and this effect repeats indefinitely for that one spell. The only thing is that it says it "gains this Battlecry", and I know someone is going to say "but spells can't have Battlecries". It's not getting one. It's getting the effect. The spell generated by Rehgar would also have a special effects layer over the card (like all of the "Shifter" cards), so you would know which card triggers this effect.

One of the ideas for Tichondrius, not Varimathras. And even so, who cares?
My Varimathras was made the same year. Yeah, I think few people would remember. This ability feels very dreadlord-y, I'm not surprised someone else would have the same idea.

Anyway, improved versions of my cards
Which is best?
Oooh my, that new Varithmaras is scary. I'd say I prefer Candlebeard, mostly because it's safer.

It’s a really cool design, but probably 1-2 mana too cheap. It’s a Steel Rager plus a 5-damage Snipe that your opponent can’t play around. That’s a lot more than 4 mana of value, IMO.

I cared because it could easily be misinterpreted as plagiarism
You can hardly say something a YouTuber posted publicly over 3 years ago would count as plagiarism, especially on an intuitive and relatively simple effect such as this
This was my thought... and yes that is the Moonfire card art, reinterpreted as the Rager being bathed in the light of how much he loves himself.
So you get a Steel Rager that is so narcissistic he will remake another minion in his own image. Added "can't attack heroes" so that the enemy Rager won't just come back and smack you in the face. On one hand you can use this to neutralize some key cards, but on the other hand it will come back and hurt your own minions.
I already submitted, but is it worth resubmitting to:
1. Clarify that the intention is for a permanent -1/-1 reduction to both stats (rather than -1 attack and 1 damage, which can be healed), and
2. Capitalize “cast?”
You can edit your post to include an updated card, assuming the changes are relatively minor like typos or balance edits. You could also include the explanation in your post (although most everyone understands that -1 Health is not damage).

Here is my idea, it's the first time I try to participate in this Competition, so I don't know how balanced this is. Would be glad about feedback.
My idea for a flavor is something like this: Your troops may die, but this shield remains on the battlefield.
The lifesteal spell is really weak. Lightforged Blessing has almost the same effect, but it costs 2 because of twinspell. It doesn't have a drawback in comparison to your spell, so I don't know what combos you envisioned with that curse mechanic.

The worgen has a neat design and is balanced*.

I'm not inclined to say that that counts; it would definitely be a stretch.
