Looks like a card that may give rise to a new archetype akin to Spitefull decks. Mages have some elemental synergy and lots of spells, so they could very well use this. Shaman has (so far) only Tidal Wave and Runic Carvings, but it's an elementa and spell synergy so we'll probably get a ten cost spell for shaman. But the best fit would be Druid, with Survival of the Fittest, Cenarion Ward and Guardian Animals, maybe in an Nzoth deck. Seems meta defining!
I think it compares favorably too Bloodbloom, which was somewhat playable. Cost and stats are a good callback to the original Kael'thas, but the choice of school seems off: from a quick search in the wowpedia I've found this snippedt:
Quote From Wowpedia
Several of [Kael'thas'] followers had left him to join Illidan to be trained as demon hunters and he believed he could harness fel magic just as they did to sate his addiction. Soon, the fel gnawed at his mind, causing him to become more paranoid of his people, believing them to think of him as a failure
thematic and comprehensible effect, great stats for effect and cost, nice art – but way to strong. I suppose most if not all druid spells are nature spells, and druid (especially in wild) has a few high cost spells. So without significant tempo loss you can reduce several spells by two mana – and still play a cheap spell at the same turn!

Good Fit of name and stats, although the art more looks like vain cryomancer. I like the effect, it’s quite strong – might be too strong - but it’s somewhat balanced by the low health.

Natural Evolution – really hard to judge, but great concept. I guess it’s hard to pull off to have a lot of spells and a lot of minions, but this would work great with Instructor Fireheart. Only the nature part in the title is kind of overkill.
Frost King Malakk- honestly the first part is somewhat bland, and I don’t really like that there are two different effects here. Kinda meh, you know?
All the Mistresses: nice, simple, great find for the art. Although individual names would probably make those feel more legendary.

Vile Instructor is a great design, seems mostly fair – except for Hand of Gul’dan, as you pointed out – and could be a great agro tool in token demon decks. Maybe just a -1 in stats to make it fairer, without being unplayable.
Cruel Inquisitor: Also good. Great name for the effect, seems fair!

The art doesn’t fit at all, you’re right to change that. And might be a bit of a longshot, but could you make them neutral? Maybe shaman or druid get a few fire spells, and a dedicated deck could use a pair of those as a finisher. Herald of Light is also great, would be greater as a neutral card. And KANSAS is right for the Herald of Flame: the cost is too low, for the Herald of Light the cost seems fine.

Ilxos is flavorful, but isn’t Ragnaros the Flamelord? And ‘targets enemies if possible is possible’ is too much in my opinion. Looking at all possible Fire spells from mage, there are only five that can damage your hero: Firelands Portal, Pyroplast, Dragon’s Breath, Fireball and Flame Geyser. And mage is an RNG focused class, so a near sure one-turn win card is somewhat misplaced. After a careful game of clearing boards and large minions, you can play this one card, even if your opponent has 29 more health, and you could win the game. I think this wouldn’t be fun.
Arrogant Gnome: Unstable Gnome is better. The card is way too strong for its cost, it has typical 5mana stats but with a hefty upside. But I like it flavorwise, but I feel it should be rare.

Abundance: What a lovely and simple card. Feels druid-y, fair and can be a great survival tool. Only small caveat – while I’m a sucker for Tauren, the card looks more like a healing card and less like an armor-gain card to me. Maybe find the tauren druid from the expansion trailer for the pic.
Kor’Kron Immolator: Another beautiful and simple card. Seems very good for its cost, especially since you can slap it down turn 10 with Flamestrike, but then again you’ll almost never get more than one or two cards from this.

Fiery Lessons: While the card is not bad, I don’t think it would qualify, since it doesn’t synergize with a spell school.

I think your card needs a major overhaul. A cheap minion, with okay stats that can buff several minions a substantial buff? That’s way too much for one mana! Just look at this + Imp Swarm (Any Rank) : 3 mana, and you get a 1/2 and up to three 5/4 demons! The effect is just too powerful for the cost, since Warlocks have a history of summoning small demons with spells, and this card would make all those spells unbalanced. Also it’s quite a simple effect, either make the rarity common or rare, or legendary, so that you can only include one copy. Art doesn’t look like a hearthstone card

Shadow Priestess Terra –ChickyChick is kind of right, it does seem to resemble Nirast’s Design a bit. But it’s stronger, has a name that’s all over the place, and art that does not really fit priest. I also have to admit, that the effect is – while good and playable – somewhat boring.
I'm pretty happy with this one, but I'd still appreciate any feedback, especially on how to boil down the text.
Edit: I will change the spelling of' Whenver' and the bolding of shadow, thanks for pointing that out! 'To you' is an unfortunate compromise to keep it below 5 lines of text.
I think it's quite good. Especially for aggro decks- clear one smallish minion, and then get 5dmg to a random enemy- Basically deal 5dmg twice, and with any luck you get to keep a body.
The green fel glow synergizes well enough with the purple border, but the art is somewhat unfocused, the imp is not really centerstage. Not a great design, not a great card.
Assuming most shaman spells are of the nature type:
This, +Lightning Bloom +Tidal Wave (assuming it's a nature spell) is a comeback against almost any board. + Dunk Tank is playable by turn 6/8. + Torrent is overkill against any not Deathwing minion. +Tidal Surge is a better Fireball and Holy Light, but leaves you with a minion for the same number of cards. +Lightning Storm is a l[Hearthstone Card (Flamestrike/card] with a drawback and a body. + Molten Blast is a board refill and good removal, but there is no shaman synergy anymore for wide boards. [Hearthstone Card (Serpentshire Portal) Not Found],Stormstrike and Lightning Bolt get better, and Landslide and Chain Lightning (Rank 1) become really boardclears.
So this would be a great card in any controll shaman, giving it the most efficent board clears imaginable. But for such an archetype to develop, there have to be more cards that synergize with these nature spells, or else you have a deck of 20 removals and no win condition. Only 3 of those spells, Lightning Bolt, Molten Blast and Dunk Tank can target face… Or scrap that thought, with some Lightning Blooms thrown in, those cards +Bru'kan are dangerous enough.
Any 1/3 beast should be playable, but I wonder if this makes the cut. Yes, it has a clear upside, but this will force some awkward trades, and I would assume that the frustration about these and the comparably low reward would limit the play of this card.Maybe in a deck with lots of draw - which is not hunter as we know him.
Thank you for the great suggestion, and best of luck to you!
This is a great card for all modes.
Remember Jan'alai the Dragonhawk? This is just better in everyway. And is this a guitar playing undead? What's happening in the Barrens?!
The soldiers look rad. Kind of a weird card, I'm not sure what this battlecry represents.
Any aggressive deck with a low curve as well as any greedy control deck could use this. Only midrange decks wouldn't include this, I think.

So while the same effect is somewhat expected for Fel and Warlock/DH, it fits the lore way better.

Feedback will follow posthaste.
Pretty meme-y, could become centerpiece of a strong deck, but that's a hard nut to crack.
I think it's quite good. Especially for aggro decks- clear one smallish minion, and then get 5dmg to a random enemy- Basically deal 5dmg twice, and with any luck you get to keep a body.
So essentially a Paladin/Priest card.
A great If. Might be an option for a non-control card that wants to pull of a combo, but for most classes a two card combo won't be reliable enough.
Flavorful: a competent minion (he has access to all the spells!) but he will only work if violence is used. Yay.
Nice card, but I don't think it will see play since it doesn't support any archetype.
The green fel glow synergizes well enough with the purple border, but the art is somewhat unfocused, the imp is not really centerstage. Not a great design, not a great card.

Well, just more support for quick cycling. Not much to speculate about.
