Going with the Spell Damage version of the secret.
I find it more flavorful to the FitB theme, along with the semi-frenzy aspect it adds the Fire tag and synergy, which is "like" it was introduced in the FitB expansion, I found it much more fitting.
If you can buff it to a 4/6 or more it's worth it, but by that time playing a 2 mana minion with no other effect than hurting yourself is not worth it so...
Only two caravans are worth it IMO, this one is one of them. Being in priest, a more combo/control oriented class, allows it to be played without much effort in tempo lost, since it generates value, but at the same time thanks to that it has a soft taunt.
The Cauterize spell is normally a "last stand" for mage in wow, so... if you're OTK here, well, you're dead, but if not, you could really win the game with just this and an Ice Block or Ice Barrier, which is admittedly insane, but well, I'm going with it.
BTW, the fire mage artwork is amazing so I had to go with it, shame I don't know who made it for a shout out.
Edit: Oh, and the FitB watermark is because... come on, you have to survive damage to activate this, so, I found it fitting.
Washington and Ivy sold it for me, the Lorien part kept me thinking about elves and dragons, should have thought about the silver/grey forest, really nice mishmash of universes!
Quick clarification on why I chose to go with "asleep" instead of freezing or changing to 0 the enemies attack and all that stuff.
The card Sunstruck Henchman uses that as a mechanic. If it falls asleep is as if you just played the minion and can't do anything that turn with it.
So the idea is, everything is asleep after you use it, misplays could happen and all that. So, is actually a normal card without much thinking and something I found was really flavorful for the competition, so I went with it.
Win or not, I simply don't care, I just found interesting this topic as well as previously others and this time I just went without giving it much thought, I found myself overthinking too much when I participated previously so I rode the derp rainbow and I'm happy with it.
Thanks all of you guys for the feedback.

Gonna try to do a feedback in a couple of hours.
Thanks all you guys for the feedback.
Got 3 ideas around it.
The first one is and idea of the actual Cauterize from wow adapted to combo potential in a fire heavy mage.
The second one is the same card with polished wording (Thanks @KANSAS)
The last one is a sure bet that it will deal damage, but it's too damn strong IMO.
Sorry if I'm not a feedbacker myself... I just see cards and think things like "OP" or "Meh"...
Edit: The artwork getting closer is intentional BTW.

Of all the caravans, this is the best one to me.
I guess that it could be used to soften big minions... I'm yet unconvinced about NoDeck Warlock...

Out of all the caravans... this is the worst one... Yeah... Imagine zoolock running this, so much tempo lost...

Germination?
Saw this cardback being used for the first time today.
The fact that you can glimpse the little fires moving while in the decks is amazing.
Beautiful card back, they went for a solemn look with the year of the Gryphon.
Looking forward to it.
It looks really good and austere.
Hope they bring it back sometime, Diablo 2 Resurrected maybe?
It's incredible that 4 years have passed and it's still one of, if not the, best card backs.
Shame that this card doesn't have the hearthstone logo in it... thanks to that it loses all it's charm.
@DestroyerR is right, Ancient Void Hound it is

Now, not to hard.
I'm big and I'm bad
I'm a sucker for stats
You don't play me on an empty board
My effect is pure control
Well, Silverleaf Poison comes to mind, just for having poison in the name and the detail about trees are the leaves.
Poison Seeds?
The redhead is Poison Ivy, from DC comics, that much I'm almost sure now.
The first part though... I was certain that it had to do with dragons, now I know it doesn't.
Brave Archer? Just for the redhead part, but I have something else in mind that I'm doubtful about, so I'm going with this one first.
