This, I've got a couple classes that I play regularly, and multiple different deck types as well.
Alternately, could be interesting to have a 'Favorite Class' and 'Favorite Deck Type' as well as the 'What Class/Type do you Play' polls. Get to see what people want to play along side what people are actually playing.
I'm only at 339 so you're not the worst! Shaman has been my favorite class for a long time now, I just don't play the game nearly as much as I used to.
Looks like you stumped everyone with Curious haha Guess I'll give it a go...
Curious (X): Look at the top X cards of your deck and mulligan.
So I really wanted to an effect similar to MTG's Scry, which lets you look at your next few cards and order them how you like or place them at the bottom of your deck. I figured using the already existing 'mulligan' phase would be the quickest way to get the effect I was going for. A minion or spell with Curious acts like a miniature mulligan. You get to look at the next few cards in your deck, so you have an idea of what you'll be drawing the next couple turns. In addition you can choose cards that won't help you and they get put back into your deck randomly just like the mulligan phase, hopefully helping you get to the cards you need faster.
Card Examples:
Sorry for text only, will try to add proper cards when I have time after work.
Curious Engineer 3 cost 2/2 neutral common minion Battlecry: Curious 1, then draw a card.
A riff on the Novice Engineer, this lets you see the card you'd draw and you can choose to mulligan it away if it's not going to help you.
Desperate Studies 4 mana epic Mage spell Curious 3, then draw a card.
Similar to Arcane Intellect, you can essentially pick which of the 3 to draw while potentially planning your next turn as well.
Mindtwister Zaret Priest Legendary, 6 mana 4/4 Curious 4 on your opponent's deck.
That's right you get to mess with your opponent's next 4 draws. Oh hey Tirion I see you lurking a turn away, how about you go back into the deck a bit. Oh hey hunter, nice one drops enjoy those for the next couple turns. (Yeah Bliz would probably never print this...)
Next Keyword: Brazen
Brazen definition: To be bold without shame.
It also apparently means to be made of brass, so if you decide to go in that direction that'd probably be interesting too.
I hate to break it to you but that's every card game, computer or physical. There's always rng involved in your draws, you can't avoid that. It would be nice to see a more neutral scry mechanic added (Tracking exists but that's about it), but you can't avoid rng from draws. It's the way card games work.
Jackpot Took the easy way out with this one but here we go...
Jackpot is the rouge only keyword for the coin grabbing effects we've seen in the class before. So, for example, Tomb Pillager would now read "Deathrattle: Jackpot"
As for new ideas, we could get a weapon like this:
The higher the damage, the more coins you get! Balanced? Probably not, but now maybe you save your poisons and oils for this guy instead of your hero power.
Tinfoil hats engage! I think I saw a post like this recently and it was pointed out that all those different animal races are in Warcraft lore already. The hogriders are Quilboar, the rabbits are Virmen and were introduced as citizens of Pandaria, and the grasshopper looking guys are Mantid which are, again, already a race in Warcraft lore.
As for card naming conventions what would you prefer? I personally enjoy that Hearthstone doesn't take itself too seriously.
Well then because that's kind of the whole idea behind a standard rotation. Yeah some years you'll have better options than classic cards, but when those better options rotate out the classic cards will still be there.
Also, like Asuryan said I haven't seen a Shildmasta played in ages.
There's your answer. The card usually costs 0 mana to play, then depletes your remaining mana and deals that much damage. In this case you paid 5 mana to play the card and your remaining 1 mana was depleted, so only 1 damage was dealt.

Should Stampeding Kodo + Dispatch Kodo be called Stampeding Kodo or Dispatch Kodo? Hmmm...

I was beating quest rogues left and right the other day with an unrefined beast hunter.
So short answer, no they are not unbeatable
