Extra Arms did not need a nerf. Being 2 mana made it a good card. Sound the Bells has full Echo and only gives one attack less.
Luna should have been put to 6 to see how that goes. Yeah it was painful to see a coin + Luna but it was barely playable before.
Boom nerf doesn't do much. All Mechs getting permanent rush + discover effects getting stuff like Omega Devastator is the problem and that stays untouched. It just happens a little later. At least it can't be played with a Hero Power on the same turn.
Conjurer is only delayed now. Not sure if that's enough.
The amount of cards in your hand (for stuff like Mountain Giant)
The board state (minions, weapons, quests + secrets (but not what secret))
Your mana
Of all of these, your mana is the most important. If you wanted a counter against those Secrets, you probably wanted Flare which is 2 mana. To encourage Zephrys to give you that card (he can see there are secrets active) play him on 4 mana left. Zephrys himself costs 2 mana, leaving you with 2 mana, which is the same cost as Flare. If you were worried about Counterspell, you could use your Eviscerate on something else (even yourself) first to trigger it and then play Zephrys.
Could this have potential in a Quest Priest deck? Buffing this and getting copies (you could damage it with stuff like Wild Pyromancer) seems like it could have some potential.
Mainly the card is too specific. Many other effects than Taunt are also worth a Silence. Sure, [Hearthstone Card (Shield Breaker) Not Found] is great against Tirion and if you want to go face with something, but that's about it. For just 1 more mana you have Ironbeak Owl with the same stats but no Taunt restriction. And for 4 mana there's Spellbreaker which has a more decent 4/3 body for the added mana cost. It's too niche.
Curious why no Mechanical Whelp. Having only the egg as your big copy threat feels a bit risky and you can run out of threats if the opponent manages to deal with them. I run this without Murmy because it is such a terrible draw beyond the early game. It does slow down your Quest completion a bit but I use the Questing Explorer to help me get there. I've also tried Pharaoh's Blessing but found it a little too situational. Beyond that it's pretty much the same except I run it with Mechanical Whelp to double the amount of potential scary cards for your opponent to deal with. Mechanical Whelp is also a Mech so it can be Magnetized on to as well.
Making your own cards would be pretty complicated and HearthCards already exists. I'd say keep the creation of the cards there (no need to re-invent the wheel) but allow storing of cards here on the forum. Maybe you could even make it so you only need to give the URL of the finalized card on HearthCards and the forum will attempt to read/download the image data from there (and you can then ofcourse [b]only[/b] send a valid HearthCards URL).
That way the only thing you'd have to do is create the card on HearthCards as you normally would and give the finalized URL to the forum here when posting. You could manage some restrictions here and there to avoid any blatant abuse. (no need to allow hotlinking for example since the stored card should only be displayed on these forums anyway)
Just a thought, not sure if HearthCards would allow the Out of Cards server to read their card image URLs though.
Been having fun with Quest Paladin. Always liked Deathrattle minions and Reborn is basically the same thing. Making copies of stuff and creating a sticky board is a ton of fun. Only gripe is how boring and painful it STILL is to fight any type of Control Mech Warrior and it not mattering how scary your board is, it will still die to Warrior plain and simple. Quest Druid is also all over the place and seems really strong.
Here's my take on it, won everything in Casual with it so far (I know, doesn't say much on release day but I did just beat a Murloc Shaman with it). The Reborn minions aren't all that bad. They can challenge the board quite decently and stall long enough to get your scary stuff on the board.
My take on it aims at copying Mechano-Egg or Mechanical Whelp, as well as having Da Undatakah thrown in for good measure. The rest is defense or Magnetic to make your 2/2 copies even scarier. It also doesn't run Kangor's because it's bad with the smaller Mech minions like Micro Mummy. And your Hero Power is basically a miniature version of it anyway.
It's still an early version. Might be missing some card draw or board clear through Wild Pyromancer but it's worked so far.

One of the first cards I might just actually craft straight out of the gate if I don't get him in packs. A 2 mana 3/2 that gives you a card that has a very high chance of being good? I will always take that.
Not a single Dragon released so far in this expansion, in the Year of the Dragon. I know, I know they don't *have* to add Dragons, but I LIKE Dragons damn it! I want more Dragons in my Year of the Dragon! If they get added in the last expansion we'll only be able to play with them for a little over a year!
Well, there is Necrium Blade, but there are situations where giving your opponent a minion back isn't always a good thing. Battlecry minions being the primary example. Maybe if you could trigger the effect several times and clear the board (without triggering any enemy Deathrattles) it could see some use (Da Undatakah would also inherit the Deathrattle) but other than that it feels a bit risky.
Has potential with copy cards like Vivid Nightmare and Shadowy Figure. Cast this on the copy target before you target it and gets lots of sticky stuff on the board.
Kitty! Would love to see more Control-ish type of Rogue decks, Rogue sure has enough ways to generate cards and deal with fatique, but are lacking in board clears and any kind of healing to allow that kind of play. Still...kitty! And it's even a 1/2!
Well...if you copy this with the new Quest Hero Power, the Taunt and Divine Shield will also get copied. Other than that, I think Blessing of Kings is probably easier to use in a deck.
For me it's Making Mummies. I love trying to create sticky boards and Reborn plays into that, which is what that Quest needs. Being able to freely make a 2/2 copy of a minion has a ton of potential with Deathrattle (Da Undatakah 2/2 copy? Sure!), Reborn, Divine Shield and End of turn minions. There are just so many possible combinations that I can't wait to try it out and see where it can go.
For the next one, create a Warrior Hero card!

Zephrys only knows the following:

53 packs. Free Quest was Priest.
After that I also got a Golden Legendary Anka, the Buried before I opened any packs.
From the packs I got 3:
Warrior Quest (meh)
Octosari (double meh)
Druid Quest (ok)
One of the first cards I might just actually craft straight out of the gate if I don't get him in packs. A 2 mana 3/2 that gives you a card that has a very high chance of being good? I will always take that.

Mechanical Whelp + Embalming Ritual + Wretched Reclaimer is going to be a decent combo.
Gets you a 7/7, 2/2 Whelp, 2/1 Whelp and a 3/3 on the board.

Mage sure is getting all the boardclears this expansion. Aggro is going to hate Mage.
11/10 Zilliax here we come!

Also, Bone Wraith + Desperate Stand + Making Mummies Hero Power (make a 2/2 copy) = lots of Taunty bois for Paladin.
