    Dryads reprint, meh.

    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.

    It's like Mirror Image only the tokens can actually do things. We have seen that a pair of 1/2s for 2 mana is strong, this has taunt which both makes life harder for your opponent and also has synergy with the rest of druids cards from this set.

    Its a reprint to dryads, but idk whether this is better. I guess lifesteal vs taunt. 

    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.

    I bet Shadows would agree.

    Even in addition to turtles, the card seems solid enough to see play in the lovely lovely Spell Token Druid that we seem to get to enjoy for another year (not a fan of the deck if my tone is not clear enough).

    Good for low-curve taunt deck, enables Toad of the Wilds and synergises with taunt synergies itself. High potential in token decks as well.

    Taunt isn't as good as Lifesteal imo, but Thorngrowth Sentries is still the replacement for Dreamway Guardians.

    Dreamway Guardians was always a solid on-curve play in Token Druid decks and Thorngrowth Sentries will serve that same roll. There is some concern about Token Druid's viability without Savage Roar, but I think cards like Guff Runetotem can help replace Savage Roar.

    I disagree with everyone saying this is worse than Dreamway Guardians for Token Druid. You’re basically losing Lifesteal but gaining Taunt. There are plenty of time I’ve wished for some more taunt in my token decks. It’s not a common enough need to justify adding a card for it, but it’s a nice-to-have. On the other hand, Lifesteal rarely matters in the archetype. So this is overall an upgrade to a card that had already been worthwhile.


    This expansion has no other cards that support Token Druid, so we may have to wait until later in the year, unless the existing token decks keep working after rotation.

    I think this is better than the Lifesteal dryad card from RoS. Taunt helps protect things, such as Guff Runetotem, who will continue to generate value in a token deck.

    Just more fodder for the spell based token druid. Do you get taunts or do you get lifesteal. Either one works out and now you have extra chances to get one of them.

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

    Never discount tiny taunts for token decks! Voidwalker was played for years, was it not? This doesn't seem amazing, but I think it'll definitely have a place. And that's before I even think about the taunt synergy that's coming along.

    Better call Thrall!

    Good card for Token Druid. It's not gonna be one of the best cards in the deck but I see no reason why you wouldn't include it.

    Like so many, I prefer the utility of life steal on the dryads, but this at least replaces the 2-mana generation of some tokens for Druid.

    Not very exciting.  Decent value, but strongly reminiscent of Dreamway Guardians.  If token druid is still a thing (which is almost always a certainty) this will probably see play somewhere.

    To me, it's better than Dreamway Guardians because the healing rarely made a difference (but sometimes it did), while Taunts can sometimes protect other minions. In reality, it will be pretty much the same card.

    I think this is actually way better than Dreamway Guardians as Druid can actually use Taunt minions. At the very least it's a good final defence tool.

    The synergy with Taunt Druid is not that big an upside, but the stall potential against aggro to allow such a deck to get to mid/late game is what's important here.

    It's a staple for the taunt archetype

    They know just what I like, huh? Pretty good for token decks, especially to combo with the new Legendary as a Nature spell.

    Ehhhhhh, not that good. 1 mana seems like it would be fair.
