1mana monsters

No no no, it was an accident. I didn't post it in the wrong forum just to get a quick reply from webrunner. Geez, what'll I get accused of next? Using Fall '06 as an excuse to repeatedly beatrush people into the ground?

These are the generated monsters, for reference.

Now to assign minor abilities and hope we can get agreement on at least some of them... I won't bother with sac until after we've come to a semblance of agreement on the abilities.

Lowly Slime - Destroy Lowly Slime, target slime gets +5/+5 (they just merge into it in the regular slimey way)
Kelar Citizen - Draw phase: If you control Elven City Kel'Sor, gain (they work & earn money there =P, also helps with the high maint and warrior making)
Gremlin - Destroy Gremlin: Target monster with life less than Gremlin's attack is destroyed. (This was admittedly arbitrarily picked)
Skeleton - If Skeleton attacks directly, put the top card of the opponent's deck into their graveyard and destroy Skeleton. (Graveyard interaction on a skeleton? Madness!)
Melrak Follower - 4 Destroy Melrak Follower: Destroy target nondark effect (Doesn't make sense for them to go breaking down obelisks)
Holy Acolyte - Target player gains 4 life (Clerics and life, thematic, no? S speed for commonsense's sake.)
Fairy - Leave play: Gain (Shouldn't affect the tokens, makes normal ones 0 cost blockers/flankers or Orbs)
Mubble - 50% chance to dizzy target monster, lose this ability (50% to prevent Mubble Forest becoming a SWIMSUIT)
K-Army Guy - Destroyed: All heroes lose 3 attack (The heroes just got tired of dealing with so many of them, but it's still weaker than War Chookie)
Evil Soldier - Damages a dizzy monster: That monster takes an additional 5 damage (Assuming they're all as blind as 347, they're ineffective vs moving targets? Naw, not really, arbitrary again)
Skyrian Soldier - Target trap entity is flipped face up (Skyrian magical 'attunity')
Lokar Guard - The bottommost Soldier in your deck is placed on top, lose this ability (Calling in reinforcements! Plus a new synergy...)

Let's try an iterative approach to this, as the possibilities are endless. Either reject a card with balance concern, reject a card and think up a somewhat flavoury alternative, or accept a card. We'll go one proposal at a time until we've got an agreement on abilities. After that, we'll see if any stat tweaks are needed, and then who's candidate for increased sac. I'll update every handful of replies so that we know where we stand.
