    Very strong for clown druid, maybe a wall archetype again will make some apparition on the set

    0 mana 2/3 when played, and 2 mana discount every turn it sticks. Not bad.

    OBLIVION!

    It appears that Taunt druid is becoming more and more possible again with these new cards being introduced. 

    At this point I have spent too much money on these games to quit. 

    Now pass me another pack, and lets see what I pull.

    Hm there are a few 5 mana taunts like Greybough or Teacher's Pet to curve into, but not sure if deck itself will come together

    Ok. So the taunt package makes a lot more since. Greybough looks like the center piece with this and the other new druid legendary, plaguemaw. Aside from dh getting a mass silence, this should be pretty good

    I like it on paper, but in practice it feels like the kind of card that only works if you get on the board first and snowball ahead (which means running some of the average 2-mana taunts like Bonechewer Brawler to really capitalize on the initial effect).

    I just can't imagine a deck that runs this, but maybe we get some really strong taunt synergy that works as a win condition.

    I tried having fun once.

    It was awful.

    I like it. Obviously, a 0 Mana 2/3 with Taunt is nice for the second/any generated copies of this card. I don't think the discount will stack with multiple copies; that seems too strong, and (base Mana cost) - (2) is still (base Mana cost) - (2) even if there are two cards in play that reduce it by (2). But most potentially good Taunts tend to be 1 or 2 Mana too expensive.

    How does this work with corrupt. I guess the effect will reduce all taunt costs in your hand until you play a taunt minion. But can I corrupt my Dreaming Drake by playing a 2-cost card, while Razormane Battleguard is on the field?

    This one looks very promising. If unanswered on curve, you opponent will be in heaps of trouble when the Taunts start dropping. I might even go as far as to claim this could be a nerf candidate if those tempo swings prove too reliable and strong.

    I believe so, as long as the 2-cost card isn't a 4-cost Taunt which makes the Drake's cost return to 3.

    Ideally, we'll be getting a low-cost (2-4 mana) druid taunt that can easily be paired up with this. When combined with Greybough and the remaining neutral taunts, that could produce a viable deck, or at least a very annoying one to play against.

    Premium 2 mana minion. 

    Given that druid's ramp is a thing this WILL see play one way or another.

    A River Crocolisk that costs 0 mana when played before a Taunt is not a good card. Not in Druid, anyway.

    And yes, that's all this is, because it's not going to stick consistently enough to be worth including.

    On the long list of effects that can singlehandedly make decks become viable, I think 'enables cheating of mana during the first few turns of the game' is right at the tippytop. This can allow you to pull out 4 mana worth of minion on turn 2, which is madness for how consistent it could be. Even if you don't draw into that, if it sticks you could have 5 mana worth of minion on turn 3... absolutely a five star Michelin card, top tier diners, drive ins, and dives, finally, some good fucking food.

    Better call Thrall!

    Mana cheat is pretty much always good. It's good when it discounts 1 minion, then it's protected, and if it sticks for one turn it gets insane value. Play this on two with a taunt, play Greybough on 3, play Plaguemaw the Rotting on turn 4, gg.

    I like the idea of this in a corrupt deck. Wonder how the two will interact, but it would be much easier to corrupt discounted taunts. This + anything 2 or higher corrupts that taunt dragon, this + 6 mana+ corrupts the 7 mana 6/6, and this + even guardian animals corrupts clowns. So I see this fitting naturally into that deck.

    This is a very powerful effect, but only if you can make it stick, which doesn't seem likely.

    Wait, if you play this at 10 mana when you have Carnival Clown in hand, then play any 8-mana card (not a taunt minion), you will corrupt the Clown. Right? This could be a neat way to corrupt Clowns without having to play a 10-mana card.

    A neat trick this card provides is making Corrupt Taunts like Dreaming Drake, Strongman, and Carnival Clown easier to Corrupt. While this is on the board, the cost of the Corrupt Taunts in-hand is reduced by 2, so the requirement for corrupting should be much easier.

    Very fun taunt druid support. This card really pushed forward the taunt heavy archetype, and could be a key piece of the deck. It is likely to be a must kill when dropped, so also not bad.

    If you're building a deck full of taunts, this guy is just a free 2/3 most of the time.

    Just don't go dreaming that this card would survive more than a turn.

    Not bad, it already pays for itself the turn you play it, and if it survives (which is fairly likely since you just played a taunt) you will be cheating things out 2 turns sooner. This should see a fair amount of play if this taunt druid is any good.

    Will see play in Arena as a vanilla statted minion, but I doubt a Taunt Druid will live on after the experimentation phase. Maybe, this makes sense in some Hadronox lists in Wild.

    This does look scary, big snowball potential, not easy to clear early. It forces midrangey Druid build, which would be a nice change from spell archetypes if it succeeds. Good one

    Dreaming Drake loves this. After playing Razormane Battleguard, I believe Dreaming Drake will be corruptible by 2 mana cards making it insanely easy to stick a 1 mana 5/6 Taunt. Not only that, since Razormane Battleguard discounts Taunts, the opponent will most likely have to go through the Taunt before killing him, making Razormane Battleguard surprisingly sticky.

    Playing this and a 2 mana (now 0 mana) Taunt will be VERY strong. Just play this and Bonechewer Brawler on turn 2 and you're pretty much set. That could even allow you to curve into a turn 3 Greybough.

    Taunt Druid was one of the decks I hated facing the most back then. Thankfully there's no Hadronox-type card this time around, so maybe this new archetype they're pushing won't be as annoying. 

    That said, Razormane Battleguard is a solid card that will probably only see play in the Taunt Druid archetype.

    Looks interesting, would obviously be a staple in any taunt druid.

    Seems good on paper, but in practice i'm not sure. It could reduce the cost of your clowns to 7 mana when your on 10 mana, and then corrupt it with Cenarion Ward or Guardian Animals. So that's a use of it, makes you less reliant of drawing Survival of the Fittest, even though Clown druid will probably use Primordial Protector to draw the Survival of the Fittest....

    ACTUALLY when druid has 10 mana they can Razormane Battleguard + Primordial Protector and both draw Survival of the Fittest & summon a 10 cost minion, AND corrupt Carnival Clown in the same turn! Actually i'm changing my mind about Razormane Battleguard, it has a LOT of potential and druids ramp + now mana cheating could end up with something very powerfull.

    RNG is only fun as long as there is a 50/50 chance of getting something really good or trash level of bad. If RNG always results in something good, then it's not fun.

    This with any good 2 mana taunt seems amazing. We might have an aggro taunt druid.

    I have trouble seeing this being played. If you are going for tempo or aggro I think Druid has better methods and if you are going for huge taunts at the end of the game I think you'd rather just have more of them alongside ramp cards, of which a fair amount aren't leaving.

    Looks ok-ish, but idk, feels too aggro for a Taunt (= control) deck. Greybough sounds great, but in reality it's probably too "mild" for druid and its combos.

    Has good body, but if it is killed without any time to activate, it is just a river croc, which sucks so bad.

    This is a really high tempo card, and it's better than Foxy Fraud, because if you're playing this and then a taunt, this is more likely to survive to board damage and give you a second discount next turn.

    These are all the taunt minions in standard.

    You can play this with Bonechewer Brawler or Annoy-o-Tron on turn 2. If your opponent can't answer it, you can easily snowball the game.

    Imagine dropping Greybough on turn 3, or to a lesser extent Teacher's Pet or Ruststeed Raider.

    This seems like a worthwhile inclusion in Taunt Druid. It will essentially be a free 2 / 3 most of the time, and sometimes better than that.

    Discount for taunt decks. Also more mana cheat for Druids. Decent but Druids have other options that might be better.

    I like that this helps to enable Taunt Druid, and cheat out big bodies (while coincidentally being protected by the Taunt minions it enables). Can be really good on curve with Annoy-o-Tron or the Toad boy, then you can get into your bigger Taunts and keep protecting this guy. Very good for Taunt Druid, you will feel it in the games when you don't have him early.

    I have spoken.

    This has potential, might help push Taunt Druid a bit futher as a meta deck

    Druid might just have a decent taunt build coming. I've not seen many people talking about it, but I think it could be a sleeper deck.

    Unfortunately, common sense isn't as common as it should be.

    if you protect it, mana cheating each turn can be good

    Pretty good mana cheat. It pays for itself immediately and only generates more value the longer it survives. The Taunt minions can also protect it. The only question is whether Taunt Druid will be a thing.

    Seems unlikely to survive on curve, but it's basically free if you play a taunt the same turn, so... not bad?

    Can reduce cards to 0, so if you have a 2 mana Taunt in hand you can drop them both at the same time, which is a pretty good swing early on. I'll try out Taunt Druid just for Mark of the Spikeshell, but cards like this do make me wonder if it might actually be good.

    Taunt druid making a comeback!  Did it ever leave?  Do we actually want it back?  I don't know.  All I know is that cards that steeply discount other cards are very powerful, even if it's an aura effect instead of a permanent decrease.

    There are some interesting applications with this in an aggressive Taunt Druid deck cheating out a Toad of the Wilds or Bonechewer Brawler alongside this. Razormane Battleguard isn't consistent enough mana cheat to warrant inclusion in a slower Druid deck, but it is aggressive enough with low cost taunts. This probably isn't more aggressive than Token Druid, but it is something to keep an eye out for in the future.

    For glory, honor, and gold!
