Hilariously, all the finalists ended up doing the third prompt.

Initial Glances

Timely Fairy - If anything, I think this may be slightly to the strong side. Still, it's essentially a free, interesting way to Discover, with the risk of taking up a board slot.

Prince Tenris - Anyone else feel a little sad this Prince was left out? Well, Wailor brought it back - in a very interesting form as well!

Goblin Treasure Hunter - Well... I mean, if you realllly want to draw that specific card and show it off... I guess that'll work.

Six-Sided Brice - Ha. That's funny. All of them are powerful additions, but the chaos and class restriction balances the card within reason.

 

 Did, did someone say Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker?

Also the fact that it's absurdly OP.  Tutor an exact card out of your deck with a 2-mana 2/2?  So it's +1/+1 over the playable Novice Engineer (that had once needed to be nerfed from 1/2), plus you can be sure to fetch a key combo piece and not just draw something randomly?

This is a card which could *NEVER* be printed.

There's a lot of mana costs where Timely Fairy is going to be absurdly strong.

• Mage at 7 Mana always gets the option of a Flamestrike, at 6 Mana always gets a Blizzard, at 5 mana gives you the choice between Blast Wave and Rolling Fireball.
  • That's three turns where you can get a sweeper without a chance of failure.  Not quite Zephrys, but close.
• Warrior at 5 mana always gets a Brawl or Plague of Wrath, whichever is better.
• Shaman can always choose between Bloodlust and Dragon's Pack (and with the quest can easily get two copies).

Maybe a similar card could exist, but it'd really need to be changed to a random spell, or discover from all classes, or something, to ensure that you have a chance of a miss.  The degree of control over the spells this gets you at higher mana costs is too much.

Overall, my fav is Prince Tenris.  I like that he keeps the 2-3-4 Prince theme.  Having a fist-full of 1/1s can be handy, but it's almost surely not unfair.  Dude can't really be played on Turn 1 due to Overdraw, but would be a strong turn-4 play with Mountain Giant, so there's that highroll worry.  But even that's not too busted, since Warlocks can do it fairly often anyhow.

In a lot of ways, he's almost like an "Echo" card.

 First of all, sorry if I make any grammar mistake, english is not even my second language.

That's all true about Timely Fairy, but I think you missed 3 points about her if you are comparing her with Zephrys.

1st: Yes, you can get easily what you WANT with her, but  with Zephrys, you get what you NEED. I mean, you won't get a board clear for rogue with her, or healing for hunter, or face burst for priest. So you don't need to play arround brawl against druid. That feels very unfairy (hehe).

2nd: The fairy is much worse than Zephrys when you are playing topdeck. If you are playing wild druid, bingo, you get UI, but if you are playing rogue, warrior or paladin, you are done. With Zeprhys you get Tirion + 3/2 body.

3rd: The fairy is much more skill based than Zephrys. You can get what you need always (despite albatros etc), but what if you need with the fairy a flamestrike, but you are at 10 mana and don't have any 1 or 3 cost card in hand? You have to think your plays and calculate your mana, or if you know you will need a flamestrike a few turns later, you should throw her when you can, because you will not play her when you want maybe.
