Thanks, but I really feel bad about taking the next one since I never would have figured this one out without them. I was sure that line 3 had to be Acornbearer, which left me thinking about First Day of School, or something else? In Wild you can almost get there (Dust Devil, Glacial Shard, Acornbearer), if you ignored that fourth line, the class hints, and the Standard hint (details, details). Once the fourth line was clarified and anchorm4n mentioned the spell angle, then the answer became easier to figure out.
We have 3/4 of a Wandmaker solution if we ignore Line 3 or assume, err..., the Marsuul Cubs from Adorable Infestation are actually squirrels? I can't come up with anything better for now.
BTW, if this happens to be correct I feel like this is a team effort so maybe R or anchorm4n can do the next one.
Wonderful art and article! One sad thing for us Arena players is that we won't get to play with Swiftfoot Boots, since that is Commander-only I think. And actually Song of Inspiration as well.
OK R, it wasn't what I had in mind but it was vague so I'll give it to you. What I had in mind was Chillwind Yeti and Circus Amalgam, btw. So for finding a creative alternative, R, you're up!
D'oh! I read the bottom part below the quote and not the top! Sorry, and very well done!
Edit: apologizing for lazy reading and misunderstanding.
Nope. Stats not so big, or even as big as Frozen Crusher. Also needs a match in Darkmoon Faire for stats, including cost. And absence of tribe for the answer, and presence of tribe(s) for the Faire counterpart.
And remember that the answer card is old, so scale your expectations of huge stat value appropriately (i.e. not *that* huge). Though I recall that folks thought it wasn't given a tribe because it would have been broken with a tribe. How times change.
Orphan is without tribe.The Faire counterpart, is well, the opposite really. And has another attribute hinted at. And the stats are not ginormous, just large compared to the cost, which is also equivalent between the answer and the Faire counterpart.
At the risk of turning this into Treasure Hunt ping-pong, is it Ysera the Dreamer? New take on old card, battlecry get 5, arena champ according to heartharena.
And the cards are old, as in before I started playing in mid-2015.
Partly. There are two cards, and the answer is a mashup of sorts, thus the addition.
Edit: clarification
Nope.
Really easy and silly for a weekend: Taz'dingo + Ready for action = ?
Walnut Sprite seems to check the boxes (echo, 3/3 3-drop, name clue), except for the first line.
You got it, R! You're up!
Given the events of today, this is the only card I could choose:
Looking out over the land
I strike quickly to defend my pride
Overcoming adversity
On the field
Of battle
Never underestimate me

OK, putting together R and anchorm4n's work:
1. Line 1 could be Wicked Whispers or Whirlwind
2. Line 2 could be some Mage frosty 1-drop, maybe Brain Freeze or Snap Freeze
3. Line 3, well we'll get to that later.
4. Line 4 is likely Focused Will

Edit: Forgot to mention Song of Inspiration
Sounds like "Faceless" is what is in common. Faceless Manipulator for the first line, Faceless Shambler and Faceless Lurker for the second line (and actually Faceless Manipulator works if a Taunt is on board), and Faceless Summoner for the third line.

Do I feel a cold draft, almost windy?

Edit: another mini-hint
Orphan is without tribe.The Faire counterpart, is well, the opposite really. And has another attribute hinted at. And the stats are not ginormous, just large compared to the cost, which is also equivalent between the answer and the Faire counterpart.
Also, orphan is about tribe, and Flamewreathed Faceless is tribeless as well.
Good guess, but no. Doesn't fit the Faire angle I think.
Another oldie:
I am an orphan, strong in my solitude
One day I go to the Faire to see the big attraction
What is this? I am his equal in stature
But he is no orphan, and what's more he gets all of the attention
So I leave the Faire and return to my solitude
