Hey guys!
First of all, I would like to apologize for my grammar. This is my first post and English is not my first language, but well, let's get to the point: The Bard.
I've been working on this class for almost two years since the release of Demon Hunter, and now I want to introduce it to you.
I'd love your honest opinion about the class, but I still don't know how to create a full post on this site, so you can check out the basic ant initiate bard set at this link: http://www.hearthcards.net/setsandclasses/#7819-Bard

Bard E.T.C.? But this is a rock band! Well, okay, let's start with the Hero Power. Its simple and balanced - ok. But "Face Melt"? Is it translation difficulties or what do you want to say by this name?
Let's go further - the basic set. It looks like a mix of cards from different classes, but mostly resembles a priest. We have a Number One Fan who takes a "song" from the deck... If we follow the mechanics of the paladin's "librams", then the "song" should be in the name of the card. Just one song in the basic set? It looks strange. It is better to move this card to the classic set, where there will be more "songs" or add more "songs" to the base set. The same goes for Manager on Tour. Next target is Mage Hands... Mage? (But its another class!) And draw a weapon from the deck? How many weapons are in the base set? Zero!
Let's move on to the classic set. Again it looks like a mix of different classes... I don't see any identification of the bard itself. A few Song's and Charisma synergies, but it doesn't lead anywhere. Actually a good keyword effect, but its name doesn't speak for itself. A lot of draw, strange synergies and strange cards. For example, Russell the Bard - "Shuffle a copy of your hand into your deck. They keep any enchantment." I don't see any handbuff cards or something.
I'm not saying that I'm a master of creating classes and it's just my opinion as an amateur, but you're definitely trying to put too much into the basic and classic set. They should be as simple as possible, but also have some kind of its own feature. Simple is the key. Just take look at the existing basic and classic sets. In general, there are some interesting things, but both sets need to be modified. Good luck!
