I'm sure WC3 inspired a lot of them, but HS isn't WC3 and you sometimes need to get creative to adapt effects to make sense within HS.

It feels like there are so many cards that ignore stealth (including these cards) just to mitigate this glaring balance problem. Revealing the opponent's hand, in particular, ought to be valued quite highly. The Sentry Ward, Shade and Sentinel Owl, all of which can be summoned very early on at next to no cost, should not have permanent stealth. I was glad to see River Crocolisk, Spider Tank and Chillwind Yeti in the Core set to make it clear that power creep in HS has not yet reached the point where vanilla stats have increased on low-mid cost minions. You have a disregard for vanilla stats, with a 2 mana 3/3 and 3 mana 3/5 for example. It has only ever happened with Atiesh, but that was basically an 8-mana weapon that was not really intended to be used to attack with. Neutral weapons with non-0 attack is always a no-no. Paladin shouldn't have a 3-mana secret, and druid shouldn't have any secrets at all.

Perhaps the most problematic examples are the secrets. To highlight an example: why does paladin have access to a freeze effect in Dalaran Sorceress? There is nothing about that card that has anything to do with the paladin class. This is especially important when cards mix themes/mechanics from the two classes that they don't share normally. Kind of like how warrior, paladin, hunter, druid and warlock were all dinosaur classes in Un'Goro, but they each had their own spin on it. It would be sufficient for both mage and paladin to have a human focus, for example, but to also have their own distinct cards. While I understand the association of classes with the races, I don't think that motivates making everything into dual-class cards. There are plenty of good idea in there, but I do have a few points of (hopefully constructive) criticism.
