I wanted to start this thread =[
My 2 runs
I played control warrior, here's the list:
Record against shamans is 8-1 by the way, with the one loss being extremely close. I had a loss in each of my runs against a tempo mage and an anyfin paladin, the 2nd anyfin I almost won, after I included a tinkmaster instead of shield block.

Second attempt for me, was pretty careless on the first one, noticed that I have 16 pieces total way too late, when I tried to discover a piece.
I was fortunate enough to immediately take out his queen with mine and from there I just attritioned him. My knights were even the bottom 2, so I think theres quite a bit of leeway you can get, actually.

Also, here's what I came up with.

Elemental - is too similar to infested tauren. Has a lot of flavourful appeal though. I don't know, seems balanced, you sure have a thing for stones.
Silver Hand Avenger seems like a downgrade from bolvar. they are virtually identical at 5 casualties and the avenger only counts recruits. Yes, it's comparing an epic to a legendary, but I still don't fancy this card at all.
Totem wall is by far the most interesting concept, making clever use of overload with a relevant effect to boot, I like it.
The weapon looks okay, but I don't like the flavour of it. Summoning argent squires off weapon hits doesn't sit well with me, but I guess as a card it's fine.
As a neutral sourfang seems pretty overwhelming when compared to dreadsteed, I kinda don't think it's too big of an issue, since it takes quite a while for this card to get huge, and when it actually does, it's hard for it to die again. Still there's too much buff synergies in addition to copy shanaenigans, so I'd at the very least assign this to a class.
I believe Niby is ineligible for the competition since it must interact with a 1/1 specifically not incidentally.

I kinda miss the part where shamans can turn their stuff into monsters
No real lore behind it, but as far as I know, shamans were one of the beastlier buff classes. Might be wrong though, anyway, this seems pretty cool.

Bombardier could be made neutral based on your concerns, as, when a minion deals damage, it would lose stealth. Going by how blizzard said Yogg Saron would work I would assume that it's bombardier that casts the salvo - thus dealing damage. Well, that aside, I think the card is ok.

Instructor Razuvious is beyond broken, mainly due to the massive runeblade and how it operates. This could easily replace alexstrazsa in freeze mage. Or think warrior with upgrade.
Same with emberscar, that looking more like a warlock card - that's mainly due to the art though. Effect is probably detrimental to you so could use a buff in stats.

I partially agree about your arguments. Well, you are giving up a pretty good hero power to have a better one, which can be affected by your opponent, mind you, wherein reducing it's cost isn't really that ground breaking. Yeah, I'm aware, some decks struggle to empty their hands but I dunno, I want some more feedback from someone else. Upping a mana cost seems fairly reasonable to me, though when compared to shadowform, which provides you with a stable, targetable option, this is more chaotic and manageable by the opponent. So I don't think it's that far off the mark.
Yes, the armor part.
4/5 total stats for 4 seems cool on paper, but 2/2 of those stats is a 2/2 with charge for 1 mana (not quite applicable that way, but pretty close). Also, I don't think tyrant of the vale is as bad as it seems, opinions.
@thepowrofcheese from which instance is that card anyway? I haven't had a chance to encounter it... card seems fairly straight forward - glorified Troggzor - you get some mileage out of the spell they use to kill it. Not too exciting. Also 9/9/9 is unprecedented and looks kind of ugly, 9/8/8 would be prettier.

Here's what I cooked up.
Rain of Fire
Could use some help with the wording. No real precedent, I tried my attempt based on Shadowform. Any appeal for this one?
@nurgling13
Ogron - effect seems really powerful, especially in warrior. I like the restrictive health on the minion, creative thinking in limiting it's potential. I think it's borderline balanced even, considering what we have to come up with this week.
Meteor - I love this, but I think it's ok at 1 overload. The downside is quite significant, especially in shaman, which would actually struggle to deal with 2 0/3 taunts. Well, ok, now I see you can also make 2 taunts for yourself. Definitely very flexible and thus interesting. The card is worse than feral spirits or hex for that matter, but you get the flexibility, this one has got me riled!
Pharmacologist - Seems broken to me. When looking at tyrant of the vale, at least. Needs a cut in stats 2/2 would be the bare minimum, but then it just becomes still ridiculously good in classes that abuse spell triggers. so maybe a 1/2?

On to the change your hero power train, featuring warlocks.
Rain of Fire
Because drawing cards is boring. So here you have an option to annoy the hell out of any control deck, and we're kind of missing some warlock destruction tools, aside from the random aoe here or there.

A bit disappointed, none of these cards really blow me away, and most of these effects are pretty flashy and in this case, not in a cool way. As such Envious Blade immediately gets my approval. Voted for 2 others that I won't disclose, but overall... meh week?

If my original assumption was correct however, then here's this. Pirate's are not a tempo driven concept, if anything, you sacrifice tempo, to get the most out of them in order to combo them with weapons or more pirate synergies, which is unlikely to happen in the early stages of the game where tempo matters the most. Since most pirates don't have optimal statlines, achieving 15 health loss on the enemy hero by the time the quartermaster hits, seems quite difficult to be honest and the effect is not that late game enticing either, so it just doesn't mesh well with the pirates as a whole as I see it.

Aesthetically the card doesn't fit, as in, the m'uru -> entropius transcription to hearthstone. It's unpleasant due to an abundance of mechanics, including the one where you have a charge/taunt interaction based on your health which is quite popular among a couple of present entries. It's just my subjective point of view, but I think overhauling the entire card and making an effect that is more simple and straightforward while preserving a hint of interest might be for the best. Not enough appeal for me.

Kind of don't see this working as well, considering it transforms as a battlecry and then has another battlecry? Aside from that the charge<->taunt theme is already quite representative in this competition and this one doesn't particulary stick out.
