The Arcane Arcade

Whizbang the Wonderful has worked with people all over Dalaran to set up a video game arcade, and everyone's coming to its grand opening! Get your quarters ready, and earn high-scores alongside famous faces like Ragnaros, Medivh, Voone, Luna and Lynessa! Try out some of your favourite games (how many references can you spot?)

Each class will be playing one different genre:

Demon Hunter - Platformers
Druid - Survival Games
Hunter - Firstperson Shooters
Mage - Rhythm Games
Paladin - RPGs
Priest - Puzzle Games
Rogue - Stealth Games
Shaman - Tower Defense
Warlock - Horror Games
Warrior - Fighting Games

Streak - Casts again next turn if you did something this turn. (Note: This includes the Streak effect itself, so you can keep chaining them!)

    Wow, what a great idea! While I'm not happy with all the cards, it's a really really cool expansion theme with the ultimate watermark. So much great art! Well done!

    I notice I am confused. Something I believe isn't true. How do I know what I think I know?

    Haven't seen all the cards yer, but I LOVE Endboss Ragnaros. Such a cool and unique design, bravo!

    Okay, please bear in mind that I really like your expansion overall. Here's what caught my eye:

    Aleatoric Platform is OP, Adventure Forest might be problematic, too.

    Crafting Materials probably wouldn't work with wordy spells and multiple Choose Ones.

    Headshot's wording is a bit weird. Is it possible to target damaged characters that happen to 4 Health or do they have to have 4 Health by default?

    The Hunter set is too spell heavy for my taste (only 2 minions!) and there's too much AOE, even if some of it is conditional or random.

    I'm not sure how Skip the Tutorial is meant to work. How can I avoid drawing a card at the start of my turn? 

    Dungeon Loot needs to say "Legendary minion" or at least "card". 

    Twenty Player Raid, Save the World! and Adventurer Lynessa would be broken in Wild Odd Paladin.

    Could you explain how Portalist Gla'dos is supposed to work? Will it be damaged the usual way when it's alone on the board or already occupies the leftmost space?

    Lights Out might be too dangerous, there was a reason why Conceal got HoF'ed.

    Tomb Diving looks scary as well.

    Making Taunt the key mechanism for Shaman feels a bit off.

    Auto-Attack cards shouldn't be part of constructed, so AI Assailant is a big no for me.

    I'd align the effects of Deadlined Debugger and Disgruntled Developer - either put the hand size reduction first or second.

    What is Sorcery Mentor meant to do? Does it change your hero power or just the skin and the emotes?

    I notice I am confused. Something I believe isn't true. How do I know what I think I know?

    Great work! I really love expansions in which each class has a distinct theme (like Boomsday), but this one is specially cool!

    I was going to write some constructive criticism, but anchorm4an already pointed out most of the issues I found. The only thing he didn't mention is that, if Star Guitarist Luna is suposed to be the same character Stargazer Luna, you should find a Draenei artwork, since the current one is a Night Elf.

    Overall very cool expansion, even if there's no Mine Sweeper card :P

    Wait... Horror Game + Bloodreaver Gul'dan is 8 Health for free each turn.
