    Let's give it a "too slow" and move on. 

    The only question that i have with this unit: if it transforms and then get recalled will it keep it's new form?

    I think it will but can't tell yet

    A 5/5 regeneration for 4 is just insane. A 4 mana 3/3 generation isn't even that bad. So I can't imagine this not being a very solid card for freljord midrange decks

    I just saw that it ALSO draws a card when it transforms... that crazy powerful borderline nerfworthy for a 4drop

    I a way this is a powercrept Ruthless Raider sure it has 1 health instead of tough but it triggers plunder for free and just is SUCH a good aggressive unit that there is no way that if freljord aggro decks are a thing this won't be part of them

    This certainly works as a wincondition but so do many other 9 mana units. Not sure if he is bettrer than other winconditions

    Without tough this unit is outright trash and even with tough it wouldn't be that good

    You better don't play this unless you have a very specific deck needing desperately protection for it's units

    That's 100% the set for Galio. Let's see he will look like

    The way these cards work I could see Soraka finding a way into this archetype. You also could just play this archetype with Poppy and be boring but that's for sure not what I will do

    Attach however feels too forgiving/ hard to counter.

    Like the way it works attach can't be countered by any mechanic in the game.

    It might very well be too slow and fail because of that but this design is kinda bad aswell (because mechanics like these are supposed to have clear counters)

    I don't know but my magnetic paladin was good enough to make me not call it a failed mechanic tho

    And you get quick attack and you get quick attack...

    I don't see this making much sense in targon bc but maybe if the stars align a bc noxus repuation deck could make use of this card.

    LeBlanc shows that a 5+ attack unit with quick attack makes for a great follower and this only being 2 mana is huuuge for reputation archetypes.

    This costs 1 less mana so it's arguably better than Fused Firebrand in nondragon decks. 

    Should be great in limited I think

    I originally thought for 4 mana this spell would at least give both buffs but it doesn't even do that.

    Given the cost and the very mediocre spell I would't run this ever unless your region combination only allows for this one.

    wow slow speed grant and ally +2+2 and double attack? That's combined with any good overwhelm unit (like Ruin Runner) got to be nuts.

    Sure you open yourself up to get removed but the potential of this buff is huge + its reusable.

    I can't see this not making into at least some (maybe not all meme) decks

    So we got Yuumi together with the LoR version of magnetics?

    Did you riot have to attach (no pun intended) my favourite mechanic from Hearthstone to league's most obnoxious champion?

    I always liked a good Yuumi Rumble botlane when Yuumi was released. Let's see if LoR Yuumi Rumble can catch up.

    the fact that you essentially manifest in a mana neutral form makes me think we will see a lot of this card. Yet there is to see how many decent faes there will be to hit with this.

    giving a lord also the ability to summon units from it's tribe at low cost has always been a big deal in mtg and I think in runeterra where board presence is much more key than in mtg this won't be any different.

    Everyone knows the power of a turn 2 barrier when it comes to shutting down aggro. The fact that you don't need another unit like you do with Brightsteel Protector makes this card a very potent earlygame card. 

    It's not busted by any standards but the flexibility makes me think that this will see a good amount of play.

    Yes free Loping Telescopes for everyone! 

    That said I don't know how practical and actually good this card is. 

    I mean do you even care about the 2 mana?

    I don't see it right now.
