So Demon kinda put out an open challenge for a Pally/Priest card on Discord, and here's my response to that:
Or a card for the two brothers:
Feedback:

Wailor: Really cool design and very flavorful, I like it!
Demonxz95: Looks good, but it can get really low with the cost, it being almost guaranteed 0-mana in Hunter after a point. Either nerf the damange and adjust the cost, or make it only target minions.
linkblade91: Arcane Barrage will only deal 2 or 3 damage usually, and it doesn't really justify Pirate Mage. Xavious is a lot better, I quite like it!
Card draw with a pretty decent body that can turn into a nice board if your deck is built accordingly:
Feedback in reverse order:

Demonxz95: Already gave my thoughts on Discord, I'll just mention you should call it 'Dragonfire Rune' on the card.
Wailor: If the set this comes in is paired with some Demons like Pit Lord, it could be extremely powerful. I'd be really careful with Start of Game effects. I like the totem slightly more, but, again, Start of Game effects are dangerous, especially since this basically turns all your totems into better Lightspawn.
FieselFitz: Really big beatstick! Best this can get is around 29/30 if you play it on curve or 23/25 when you'd play around turns 9-10, when you'd expect to (thanks for the math, Echo!), and that's assuming your deck nothing but Murlocs. Game-winning against Aggro, will probably get you killed against Control and Combo, especially since you're now half a deck closer to Fatigue.
ChickyChick: Pretty good. Stat-wise, it's the same as the Paladin upgraded power, except on a single body. I'd make it cost 7 because a) Benedictus is also a overcosted by 1, and b) this might actually work with Genn Greymane and make the HP 1.
Fedrion: This is pretty damn strong for 6, especially if, like you said, you have Ship's Cannon or Skybarge up (side note: Why is the formatting between these 2 inconsistent? It's the same damn text!). Should probably cost 9 or something like that.
AeroJulwin: Zenari is an automatic no. Rhea is interesting, a weaker effect than Dr. Boom, Mad Genius, but I think the fact it's Start of Game makes it too powerful. I like the Forest Guardian the most.
Neoguli: Nice draw engine the turn it's played, since there's no way it survives until the next one. Odd choice to go Paladin with it.
R: I feel Huhuran is more fitting for hunter, but you'll have to change the art, since that's just Princess Huhuran's art mirrored (tells you how much this saw play because I couldn't even remember her name :P).
linkblade91: I feel Zuluhed is more interesting, though it's hard to judge the balance on either.
Yeah, that's the big problem, isn't it? No room for another CCG. I didn't mention it in the article, because it's a very personal opinion and a hard fact, but indie card games should allow you to buy the whole set for a fixed price (while still offering the F2P option, of course). Basically, do what Extended Card Games do.
Have you considered going with a Hex grid instead of a square one? It changes the game a bit, but I feed it's a better fit for this type of game (main advantage beeing that you don't have to worry about diagonal attacks).
Regarding actually programming the thing: most card games seem to be made in Unity for some reason, but that's not the only option available. Godot is a completely open-source engine, though it is quite new to the market. There's also Unreal, but it's probably overkill for a card game (if you decide to go with it, go for the 5 version).
I was mostly looking at the spell with the word 'deal' in them, and Pack Your Bags didn't show because of some filters I didn't intend. Besides, the list is in no way exhaustive.
Does Senna work with Drain? What's the wording on that?
I feel people are really underestimating Primordial Protector in this deck. It's a tutor for your 7 drop AND for the reward, and it fulfils one of the requirements. You'll need to go off-curve if you go this route, but I'm not sure it matters, especially since you'll rarely be at the final step exactly on 7 mana.
Thank you both! Yes, this is indeed the first time I won, though I was extremely close once before. Really happy with it!
Do you wanna Charge? Do you wanna fight?
Do you want a card that will insta-fright?
Take up some Armor and keep the SMOrcing in sight
'Cuz you'll want to introduce them to Mr. SMITE!
You've reminded me of that one episode of Phineas and Ferb where they milk cows in space to make ice cream or something.

"Is Pepti Cassidy ok?"
Someone's been playing too much Psychonauts recently...

Finally, a belated Welcome back! to everyone.
Saturday morning C'Toon
Probably to make them fit Bandle City more.

That's incredibly dumb and sadly the most likely option.
I assume it woks the same as casting it with Lv. 2 Karma on board.

This looks nuts! But why aren't Senna, Demacian SentinelBADCARDNAME, and Solari Sentinel dual region?
Edit: Fast The Ruination, pog!
Edit 2: Other cards I see being broken with this:
If Senna doesn't get nerfed to have her acceleration tied to her LV.2, I'll be shocked!
Congratulations, you're a prophet.
Haven't played Galakrond's Awakening, is this the first time Renogos is shown?
I remember them saying LoR will start having exclusive Champs. There's really no other way to go, unless LoL decides to machine-gun new ones.

Because they'd likely be bombarded with comments on the lawsuit. That can also happen to independent creators, but nowhere near the same level.
