Despite your condescension, It fits the lore while disallowing the meta-constraining effect that the current Alexstrasza will eventually have on the Standard format. So I'm still happy with it.
FYI, my second iteration:
In what way exactly does she constrain the meta? There are 200 posts in this thread and no one has yet demonstrated in any meaningful way that the card (i) limits the design space or (ii) impacts the meta meaningfully, let alone "constraining" it. Shredder constrains the meta. Dr. Boom constrains the meta. Notice any difference between those cards?
I very deliberately said that it "will eventually [constrain the meta]" not that it does currently.
If you still disagree, then feel free to look up what Kibler has to say about it, I'm inclined to agree with him given that he's a professional card game developer who has worked on the Warcraft TCG and even Hearthstone itself.

What about this guy? I probably have to change the class fir it, only because Sorcerer's Apprentice can make an Infinite damage loop, with Whirling Blades. Also, what for the stats? I feel like 4/7 is a bit too much, but maybe fine as a 5/5? Maybe?
Next: Another Aspirant - "An aspirant minion like Darnassus Aspirant, Orgrimmar Aspirant or Dalaran Aspirant (so a class-specific minion that goes with the other tree: someone riding something with an ability that has to do with the class)"
I don't have a particular reason to worry about Ysera, but between her difficulty to remove and her special power I could see someone making a case to make her a 4/8 or something.
I've been working on an a Mind Blast OTK Dragon Priest. Still needs refining though. I've used the new space from the cards being rotated out to squeeze in to tools for it.

^ OP, but i love it anyway.
Next: early game Dragon synergy for Shaman.
e.g. - Twilight Whelp, Wyrmrest Agent, Alexstrasza's Champion.

To clarify, it acts as a 6/6 Stranglethorn Tiger that can re-enter Stealth by skipping an attack.
Next: A midgame Dragon that adds something to your hand.

Personally I'm a huge fan of Brann Bronzebeard, I usually run a Defender of Argus at the same time. My favourite combo is undoubtedly with Blackwing Corruptor though.

The surprise factor has won me several games, I've even raced Face Shaman and won.

True, the idea here however is: one card, one art, playable in two classes.
So a priest/paladin minion would have both a white and yellow border.
