Spiritwalker Cards

More about these cards:

Refracting Rune: The Shimmering Courser effect as a cantrip spell. This is one of the more powerful buffs you can give a minion versus spellcasting classes, and can be extremely powerful against certain classes. We all know how disruptive Robes of Protection can be.

Spirit Weak: Remember, this is Scholomance, so there are some scholastic puns to be had (Spirit Weak -> Spirit Week). Targeted spell that works well to reduce threat from your opponent's board and give you time to cope when faced with an aggro deck.

Mystflame: A tradeoff AoE; very powerful early game effect that prevents you from establishing an immediate board presence after playing it.

Tempest Totem: Apart from targeted draw, Spiritwalker still relies on a select few cards from the basic set to get through their deck, and one from the Apprentice set (Soul Sunder, Truesight Saber, and Natural Reflection). This makes a good addition to that list.

Spiritcaller: A nice solid body on turn 3 to get value out on turn 5/6.

Taskmistress Akara: Silence in the classroom! The taskmistress will be having no disobedience in her school... or there will be punishment.

Shaman / Spiritwalker Dual Class Cards

More about these cards:

Totem Grower: 4 mana 3/6 Overload (1) with the potential to grow bigger. Shaman totem decks have been very cheesy pseudo-aggro decks when they've been pushed. There is more to it than that, and the powerful effects they provide are not to be laughed at.

Self-Possessed: Referring back to the 'lonely minion' archetype of this class, this follows cards like Rite of Solitude, Barrens Wanderer, and Anima Giant. It also provides the same value as Grave Rune for the price of Ancestral Spirit.

Totem Mayhem: It's getting late where I am... Basically a board-flood card like Gather Your Party (or whatever that's called).

Shon'to, Temp Teacher: Speaks for itself I'd say. Good legendary to play in a totem deck. Great draw and buff utility.

Spiritwalker / Priest Dual Class Cards

More about these cards:
Alluring Alumnus: Basic draw engine. "Finishes off" the cycle of Frazzled Freshman, Shifty Sophomore, Judicious Junior, and Smug Senior.

Top of the Class: Can't be top of the class unless you're better than everyone else!

Trainee Trendsetter: Not quite Spiteful Summoner, but close.

Lecturer Brightsong: Pulls from a very wide pool of cards and gives you a lot of choice. You should be careful to have mana to play them, however!

Totems

Totem synergies cross-class. Totem Mayhem can summon Totem Grower (which buffs itself intentionally). Tempest Totem is powerful draw that does not get pulled by Totem Mayhem. Shon'to is more Totem draw and buffs. See if you can spot anything special about her name...

Targeting minions with spells

Cards that encourage single-target buffs help to establish class identity as a "build a big minion" class, neglecting hand buffs or wide buffs. Related cards from previous sets include:

Spellburst

Since this is Scholomance, it's pretty much obligatory to have some spellburst cards. Usually it's just two per class, but I couldn't resist giving it to the legendary as well - when you think about it, the two keywords are the inverse of each other. The effect activates a) if you've cast a spell before you've played it, and b) when you cast a spell after you've played it.

Dormancy

There is limited focus on Dormancy in this set, even though it is one of the core mechanics of the class. Mystflame is a powerful AOE tool that prevents you from immediately swinging the board in your favour - it is conditional, as are most removal effects in this class. Spiritcaller can be thought of like Voidcaller in its effect, but has certain tradeoffs and advantages over it. The minion can't affect the board immediately, but it is still summoned and can't be silenced. It also summons a copy, such that you don't lose card advantage.
