This card is a strong counter to the Demon archetype. Given that demons are only run by one class, the ability to kill a demon minion outright at two mana is very reasonable:
If there is no Demon in the opponent's deck, two mana for three health on a minion is terrible. It is less than half as good as holy light; it restores half of the health that holy light does, and it cannot be cast on the hero. Even so, this card is not useless in this situation.
If the opponent does have a demon, this card is only truly powerful when used on, for instance, a doomguard or Mal'ganis. Otherwise it is more often than not dealing 2-4 effective damage, which is reasonable power for a 2 cost spell, especially given the restriction it has for Demon minions.
Even in the cases of doomguard and Mal'ganis, the warlock usually gets value off of these cards the turn they are played (because of charge and Mal'ganis's effect), making exorcism more of a cleanup card than anything. Yes, this could still be considered overpowered, but considering that this card is up against spells such as equality, which could clear either of those minions rather easily with the use of a recruit, I think this mana cost is quite reasonable.
This spell cannot kill Lord Jaraxxus, as it must first target a minion.
My submission this week is Soul Link. This spell allows you to redirect damage from your Hero to a target Demon. This effectively gives your hero more life, though it can be countered by Silence, transform effects, or simply killing the targeted minion. If two or more of these effects are in play, all affected demons will take the damage, instead of the hero. If a single demon has 2 (or more) Soul Link effects, it will take the damage twice (or more).
Soul Link is especially powerful if Jarraxus is on the field as a minion. It can be used to offset Life Tap, Hellfire, and other self damage effects. Yes, you can use Soul Link on enemy demons to help kill them faster, or at least take pressure off your hero.
Soul Link - 2 Mana Warlock Spell - Whenever your hero takes damage, redirect it to target Demon.
Note that Goldrinn buffs your minions and himself, preserving the lore of his miraculous feat of defeating hundreds of demons while inspiring his allies.
Notes: If you play a second Oracle, it doesn't alter the hero power, however, as with shadowform, it would reset it: you could hero power, play the oracle, and hero power on the same turn.

Flavor text: Psychotic is a bit uncharitable- They are all kinda like this.
Summon: "And then, after I overthrow this fool… Oh! Hello!"
Attack: "That was my plan!"
Effect: "We have the technology..."
Death: "Imbe...cile..."
Reasoning: This is, first and foremost, for a more midrange demonlock sort of build. Obviously what's being cast here is a weaker Power Overwhelming , though the buff is comparable to Mal'Ganis or of course Demonfire. It's costed to be out of Zoo range because Zoo doesn't need something that buffs consistently. Technically, it can buff itself as well, and can also buff enemy demons (which has the added benefit of assuring their deaths). Of course, the buff isn't as high due to the fact that the victims live longer, through the enemy turns, like in Nightmare. While this doesn't force trades, it makes taunt enablers valuable, so make of that what you will. And, as long as it buffs itself, there's a guilt free 6 damage Shadowflame
All the quotes are from the Warcraft three sound database, except the reference of course. this is of course, a 6-million dollar man quote, so I figured it's fit a 6-mana costed demon

Overview: Booty Bay Butcher is an interesting Pirate. It restores 2 health to all friendly pirates at the end of your turn. This can be very strong if you trade a Bloodsail Raider into a Leper Gnome, it will become a 2/3 instead of taking the damage and being a 2/1. Booty Bay Butcher himself also counts as a Pirate, so he will restore 2 of his own health at the end of the turn too!
Balance: He works great in Pirate decks obviously. However he is pretty weak by himself, a 2/2 for 2 isn't a great deal at all. When used in conjunction with others pirates at the right time, he can win you the game! Keeping all of those pirates alive is also keeping that tempo, so each time Booty Bay Butcher heals a friendly pirate you get that closer to winning the game.
Synergies: Even though he is made for Pirate decks, you can so some silly stuff where your deck doesn't even need to have Pirates. Actually, you could even see Booty Bay Butcher in Priest, a non-weapon class! The reason is that his ability synergies very well with a lot of the Priest's cards. Power Word: Shield gives him extra health, which means he will be way tougher to kill since he restores 2 Health to himself at the end of the turn. In return, it also works with Northshire Cleric, which draws you a card each time BBB heals himself. You could also work him into Paladin and his buffs, which you could use other Pirate's abilities to the fullest!
Its not much 2-cost beast in hearthstone though, blizzard should add more beast into the game.

Pretty self-explanatory; just adding a viable beast for Druids.

You thought hunters were the only Beast Masters? Druids always answer the call of the wild!
Edit: Clarification: The Druid's hero power adds 1 attack to the weapon, but not durability.

My first ever submission, so hopefully it's at least a cool concept?

A late game tool for Pirate deck and A-HA! guy now becomes a conditional removal.
Edit: stats changed from 3/4 to 2/5.
