    I have played a lot of treant druid and usually all the late game value treant cards are too slow. I expect this to be no different.

    This might actually be worth it in some form of token druid where you have a lot of 1 drop or 2 drop generation.

    Obviouslly meme card even in arena. Might have been interesting if it was way overstated, then it would be like the risk early game play similar to Renounce Darkness .

    It is a threat (or it can be) but it is a threat in the form of Mechano-Egg or even better Mechanical Whelp where you need to consider whether to pop it, whether you have a counter to the threat it will spawn, not whether you can kill of your minnions (even though you would normally avoid that) before it dies.

    People are actually rating this card highly? It seems such an obviously unplayable situational card to me. Unless the meta turns into the equivallent of the shamanstome we have now but with Warriors I don't see why anyone would put a card like this in their deck.

    Don't know what to make of this card. In arena in particullar it does not seem that good since the stats are bad and armor is pretty worthles and I don't see the lackey making up for it.

    Might be usefull in Highlander Secret Palladin too given that it is very likely to generate a secret. Though admitedly that might not be usefull enough.

    It is so good it might even be included in non-dragon decks (maybe in hopes of fishing for the healing dragon) given that it does not require dragon synergy similar to Stonehill Defender . Other than that an obvious 5-star arena card that will shape the meta given that it is common.

    Duskbreaker was a battlecry. This card being a deathratle makes it much worse. Even if it is played it will most certainly not be on the Duskbreaker level.

    What made Sylvanas Windrunner good was that even though you would rarely get an opponents minion you would still force them into bad trades. This card though will summon the same minion no matter what so the opponent will still trade in the best way possible for them.

    Have they adressed what they will do with the issue in battlegrounds were you get matched against the same opponent twice in 3 matches?

    People have given it an average 2.85 stars in arena. Oh boy but people really have no idea what makes a strong arena card. The only reason this is epic rarity is because it would explosively increase Hunters power level in arena. Though given how weak they now are it might have been worth it.

    A bit too inconsistent. Even in the best case senario where you play this as control against aggro it still draws them a card, even overcosted that is often not going to be a problem when they ran out of cards. So you are basically banking on you drawing a card that has its cost reduced by that much that it wins you the game. I would call that a bit too inconsistent.

    I am actually suprised not everyone is giving it a one star. It seems quite obviously unplayable.

    Wow this is so strong. Will probably be included in dragon decks, though it is not as beneficial as it seems since Dragons usually come with card generation whereas cost reduction usually pairs better with card draw not generation. Still 2 mana off some powerfull dragons is bound to be powerfull. Now in arena this is completely insane. A 4 mana 5/4 that most probably will reduce 2 mana off some of your big win conditions is game wining. Imagine playing 2 dragons that cost 6 or 7 in one turn. Easy win right there.

    If you can make a decent deck with shuffling cards into your deck then this will certainly be in it and be one of the most powerfull cards of the deck.

    Seems quite decent. Much better than Shifter Zerus since it picks from a smaller pool of minions with a greater average power level and most importantly stays at 5 mana (at least I would assume it does). It might be included in a deck that has a free slot but you usually don't want that randomnes in constructed. Might be one of the top 5 legendaries in arena, and easy insta pick there, unless it competes with Tyrion or something of that power level.

    Pretty bad. I would call it below average in arena too, since you need to be ahead on the board for it to work and at that point there are much better win more cards than this.

    Seems like a card that can be included even in decks without synergy if you needed that extra cheap removal.

    This seems like an obvious auto include in Big Spell Mage.
