Well, to celebrate the announcement of the new expansion, I decided to make cards based on it! One card for the good guys (mage) and one for the bad ones (warlock).
"Well, it seems Togwaggle wants more candle... Then he'll have to EARN it!"
"I like your soul... I think I'll take it!"
Thoughts about those ones? Not sure if they are too simple.
They're quite good in fact, it's my second favorite take on the Hero Power cards of this thread, just after linkblade's.
They only have one small mistake: the words "Guardian" and "Etheral" of their name should be capitalized.
Other than that, you should be able to reach the finals, IMO.
Keep in mind how the powerlevel of these cards will work with Baku or Lord Jaraxxus.
I'm not very sure how would these cards would work, to be honest.
According to other "targets chosen randomly" effects, the Hunter card would just throw three arrows to the enemy face (just like Yogg-Saron, Hope's End always casts Sinister Strike on the enemy hero)
Now, let's assume the Hunter card would work like you want and targets any character. The problem of that case is that the Warlock card would also target any character! So, it would be the same as the Hunter card + draw three cards for 1 mana.
I don't know if I explained the issues properly, because they're quite complex 😅
A new idea. I think it's better than my previous one but still not good enough.
The same effect is a benefit or a drawback depending on the class.
While Warriors benefit from getting the same weapon over and over again, Rogues are cursed to not use their HP unless they want to have their deck diluted with crappy weapons (they can still benefit from the effect, bit it's harder, though)
I'm gonna give mass feedback here, because I think all entries fall into two categories.
As I said before, I think the appropriate way to approach this competition is to find cards that function differently even if the text is the same. I think @linkblade91 really nailed this, but @OttawaCloset, @Shatterstar1998 and, to a lesser extent, @Kovachut also did a good work.
In all other entries, both cards are too similar between them.
Now, some specific feedback:
@OttawaCloset
Tiny Spy's watermark should be K&C, since it's the only expansion with Rogue Secrets. Besides, the artwork should be centered.
The Old Librarian should be called "Old Librarian", since the word "The" is usually only used on legendaries. Also, the artwork you used for it is low resolution.
@Shatterstar1998
The text of both cards should say "After your hero attacks" instead of "attack".
I prefer the Druid version of Hero Worshipper, which btw needs a better flavor. Some Troll Druid from Rastakhan, maybe?
I think the key this week is to find an effect that can be very different depending on certain factors, such as stats, card type or synergy.
For instance, Demonic Inquisitor is just the typical overstated Warlock minion, while Soul Eater is more interesting: you can get around its drawback, but you're left without Hero Power.
Not saying these cards are good by any means, in fact I find them quite dull and I'll try to come up with something better, but I think they illustrate the proper philosophy more or less.

My final try. I think I will finally submit this after possible balance changes.
I think the difference here is quite obvious: while the Paladin weapon is self-sufficient, the Succubus requires damaging cards to work.
