Been too busy working on the expansion competition, but I wanted to go ahead and share what I worked up for this comp, even though I missed the deadline.
I spent waaaay to much time looking for three pieces of art by the same artist. These were actually done for some other game called Talisman, but I couldn't find their card text for that game.
I saved these images, but in making them, it was kind of an exercise in absolute simplicity. I think the finished cards should have much more interesting names, tied to WC lore. And the mana costs and stat-lines should be varied.... I'm just not sure how. Does one type of deck need to discover a freeze early? Does another deck want a mid-sized minion followed by another midrange windfury minion? I could ascribe any 'balanced' mana/attack/health line to these cards, but I want something more specific than that.
Anyway, thought I'd share this 1st sketch of what I was working on. Looking forward to upvoting!

And yeah, props to everyone who finished their entry. Its an impressive accomplishment, in its own right.

I suck at flavor text. And honestly I don't like much of the flavor text in HS. Just bad puns. I really wish HS went with serious flavor text more like MTG, but I guess the overall tone of HS isn't serious enough for that.
I'm going to write up reviews of the entries later, once the thread locks. I think I can handle doing them all. 30ish entries isn't too much to type up.

Just looked through all of page 1, upvoted those I liked the most. Lots of neat themes and cards! Stage 1 really weeded out some of the weak entries it seems.
I just hope page 2 fills, I don't want to be measured against page 1 :(

TIME PARADOX!!!!!
While gazing into the future, Nozdormu the Timelord accidentally resurrected every dragon that has ever lived! In order to contain the catastrophe, Nozdormu has sealed away Azeroth's dragons and their most sacred sites into a sealed dimension called The Dragonspiral. From atop the great Wyrmrest Mountain, the five Dragon Aspects of Azeroth, Nozdormu, Alexstrasza, Ysera, Kalecgos and the reborn Neltharion seek to end the crisis, while deep in the boneyards of The Dragonblight, renegades and time anomalies like Malygos, Deathwing, Murozond, Galakrond, Neltharaku and Sindragosa seek to escape this prison realm and conquer Azeroth.
The Dragonspiral Wars have begun! Join Wrathion the Black Prince as he guides you through the strife and chaos of this strange dimension.
Example Cards
An enigmatic schemer, Wrathion the Black Prince seeks to make the most of the situation, playing all of the great dragon's of Azeroth for his own ends.
The Black Prince is a FREE LEGENDARY given to every player upon receiving their first Dragonspiral pack. As you might guess, Dragonspiral contains lots of new dragons and dragon synergy mechanics. This legendary dragon lets new players put some extra power into their decks and gives control decks the ability to extend the game a little longer.
Seeking to return the timeline to it's rightful state, Brightwing has joined the Wyrmrest Accord. Should the great bronze dragon Nozdorumu be slain, many terrible beasts would be set loose on Azeroth.
Brightwing is a tricky combo-breaker. Tech this dragon into your deck and avoid blasts of burn spells that might otherwise end the match. But in order to gain this elusiveness, you must be holding a dragon in your hand.
Dragonhold is a new keyword to describe an old mechanic, and as such many cards from Blackrock Mountain and earlier sets will be updated with this new keyword. The Dragonhold Keyword is associated with the great dragons of the Wyrmrest Accord: Alexstrasza, Kalecgos, Nozdormu, and Ysera.
The dead have been reborn! Again! Sindragosa rises from the Dragonblight and is intent rebuilding her brood, so that they might serve the Lich King once more.
Sindragosa, Frostmother is a late game control card that fills your side of the battlefield with frozen dragons. This card interacts with a new mechanic, The Dragongrave. Whenever dragons are killed or discarded, they put into a dragon graveyard, where their effects might be reused, re-summoned and sometimes repurposed.
The Dragongrave keyword is associated with Neltharion, the Earthwarden, the great black dragon who rules the earth, it's caverns and graves. But in the wilderness of the Dragonblight great beasts like the Protodragon Galakrond grow fat on the endless bones of dead dragons.
Strange rainbow colored dragons have been appearing in the Dragonspiral. Whimsical but destructive beings, these Spiraldragons threaten to destabilize the time stream!
Prismatic Iconoclast has the new Paradox keyword. While Paradox cards have potent effects the first time they are played, they have strange mirrored and inverted effects upon their second use, by any player. This means mirror matches and stolen cards will play a big part in Paradox decks.
Paradox cards are associated with the time anomalies Deathwing and Murozond and also Kalecgos and Nozdormu as they seek to repair the time stream.
Tell me more about the Neutral themes of Dragonspiral
The neutral cards of Dragonspiral are meant to synergize with the 3 core mechanics of Dragonspiral and find use in the classes that use the new keywords. Neutral minions represent allies of the Wyrmrest Accord, moral dragon hunters, unaligned dragons and some of the reborn time anomalies dwelling in the Dragonblight, including:
The full 135 card set would also include renegade black dragons like Nefarian, Onyxia and their servants.
Tell me more about the Class themes of Dragonspiral
In Dragonspiral, Every class is associated with one of Azeroth's greatest dragons.
Druid: Ysera the Dreamer. The great emerald dragon Ysera has called upon her druid allies for aid. Druid cards in Dragonspiral will focus on a mixture of ramp effects and deck interactions, putting creatures to 'sleep' by shuffling them back into the deck. Druids will also have smaller faerie dragon allies with unique effects at low mana costs.
Hunter: Galakrond, Dragonfather. The first of the protodragons Galakrond is one of prehistory's greatest catastrophes. Part beast and part dragon, these primordial creatures gain power through cannibalizing their brethren. Many of Azeroth's greatest hunters have joined Galakrond in his endless hunt through the Dragonblight boneyards. Hunter cards in Dragonspiral will focus on the Dragongrave mechanic, deathrattles and dual-tribe Beast/Dragon minions.
Mage: Kalecgos the Arcane. Azeroth's greatest wizards have travelled to Wyrmrest Temple to aid Kalecgos the Aspect of Magic in his research of the Dragonspiral, hoping to find away to restore the timeline and return the right dragons to Azeroth.

Paladin: Nozdormu the Timelord. Aghast at what he has done, Nozdormu has found a temporary solution, containing the time anomalies within the Dragonspiral. Azeroth's most steadfast Paladins have rallied to Wyrmrest Keep to defend the Timelord and undo the paradox effects of the Dragonspiral.

Rogue: Murozond the Infinite. In a far flung future, one of many possibilities, dwells the paradoxical Murozond, a inverted and twisted version of the Timelord Nozdormu. Set loose upon the present, Murzond and the Infinite Dragonflight seek to escape the Dragonspiral and rob the past, present and future of all its secrets and treasures. Many intrepid thieves and burglars have allied themsevles with the time anomaly, seeking to learn his secrets and manipulate time itself. Rogue cards in Dragonspiral make heavy use of the Paradox keyword to generate random cards and transform their cards, creating chaining combo effects.

As guardian of Azeroth's caverns, graves and tombs, Neltharion has called upon the wisest shamans to help him navigate this perplexing crisis. Shaman cards in Dragonspiral focus on the Dragongrave mechanic and Silence, resurrecting dragons or sending them to an early death.

The most vile and evil of Warlocks have ventured to Dragonspiral to aid Neltharaku in his Netherdragons nefarious scheme. Warlock cards in Dragonspiral focus on the Dragongrave Mechanic and Discarding, often utilizing effects of dragons that are already dead. Dragonspiral also introduces the new Demon/Dragon dual-tribe for Netherdragons.
Warrior: Alexstrasza, Lifebinder. Sometimes in order to defend life itself, one must go to war. Alexstrasza the great red dragon has raised a mighty army of warriors and dragons in order to lay to rest the time anomalies of the Dragonspiral.

While C'thun decks didn't top the meta, I wonder if that was even the intention. I joined HS durring Whispers, and building a budget C'thun Mage, kind of a hybrid freeze/tempo deck, was exceptionally cheap and good enough to get me to rank 15 my first month of play and rank 10 the second month. Later I transitioned into a legitimate freeze mage deck.
