I think this is better than it seems. The Trade function is very useful to ensure its own DR works, and/or to summon it with Death Speaker Blackthorn. The downside is at the moment only the first copy's DR can ever work, but perhaps we'll have some coping mechanics in DH this expansion or sometime soon.
The equalising of the stats mean this is way fairer than a lot of "random" cards. Compare it to Jandice Barov, for example. Two full-stat 5-drops and a 2/1, but those 5-drops can be anything from 1/1 (Blood Herald) to 7/8 (Earth Elemental).
This weirdly feels like an old-Hearthstone card. Like it should be in The Grand Tournament or something. It has that air of "Classic WoW character, very slow effect. Seems fun, but will do amazing things in one Trolden video and nowhere else."
A community can't just choose to stay away from "topics like this" when highly visible members of the community continue to perpetrate these kinds of behaviours.
Like it or not, these topics are part of community discussions until either everyone stops behaving that way, or it is clear those who continue to are not welcome here.
I can see this being good in a token druid just because of Innervate and Lightning Bloom. If you can get a Gibberling down as well, it could be insane.
A very good card in general, and especially for the Taunt Druid deck. Deal 7, become a healed Taunt that sticks around for synergy? Sounds like a dream.
I'm having flashbacks to Astral Communion. I can't wait to see the Trolden video where the player's Yog casts this and the opponent immediately bursts them down with 1-cost cards.
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.

I don't think Tradeable would really work in BG, but replacing the current demon buffer with a 4/4, +2/+2 would be a nice minor boost to demons.

Being guaranteed fast games where your opponent can't rope you, plus no ridiculous infinite combos is enough incentive for me.
And to be fair, a 7 mana 8/8 is already not THAT bad. Swapping one card for it doesn't "cripple" your deck.

Seems very interesting. Difficult to evaluate a mechanic we've never seen before, but I don't think a board of 3/3s is ever that bad...
Lot's of people talking about regular draw like the Warlock legendary, not so many people talking about the incredible synergy with Shadowstep, Tenwu of the Red Smoke, Secret Passage, and Field Contact. Combine those with Scabbs Cutterbutter and Efficient Octo-bot and you got the makings of a new Miracle Rogue.
Seems like a great value card.
Very good, and loving the HP synergy in both FitB and the new Mage Core.

Well, I hated Twin Slice, and this seems marginally less aggravating to play against I guess?
Tutor is never bad, but... At the moment I don't see what Beast is impactful enough for Druid to want to run this.
Seems like good psuedo-draw for this Taunt Druid deck that's coming.
Seems unlikely to survive on curve, but it's basically free if you play a taunt the same turn, so... not bad?

Immunity while attacking was the whole reason anyone played Bazaar Burglary. I feel like this is a sleeper threat.
Seems like a good way to either pull lethal or clear out low-cost cards for better late-game draws.
