Well, time to build some combos.
With two Imprisoned Satyr and Emperor Thaurissan, you can play Malygos, double Faceless Manipulator, and then four 16 damage Moonfires.
Maybe there is a combo that uses less cards, but this is just the first thing I thought of. Maybe you could use just one Imprisoned Satyr, Emperor Thaurissan, Malygos, and then four 9 damage Swipes.
Carrion, my wayward grub.
I'm fairly sure that this is very good.
Copying very expensive spells will be a fiddle, but even copying an inexpensive spell is worthwhile. Can also act as bees 3-4 in 2k armour druid, as well as allowing for copying of any of that deck's draw and stall spells.
This post is discussing the wild format.
Alright, THIS is a 10/10, super scary card with a lot of potential.
This can double your Survival of the Fittest for massive buffs, double your Guardian Animals for more tempo & empty your deck faster for OTK decks, and OTK your opponent's with Moonfires. Also one synergy that's also interest is that Solar Eclipse into any cheap spell like Guess the Weight, Dreamway Guardians or Rising Winds for lots of draw/tempo, is really strong.
However the synergy i'm the most afraid of is Lightning Bloom to cheat out Solar Eclipse into double Overgrowth on turn 4/when their on 4 mana... This card is scary... Pretty sure Solar Eclipse and a good opening hand can help out Guardian Animals get out 1 turn earlier again, which is something you felt REALLY bad to play against..
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 card has so much combo potential, especially if played after a Lightning Bloom where you can essentially negate its 2 mana cost. Lots of situations where this card comes useful. Guardian Animals in particular can be really strong with this.
This will break Druid again :D

Looks like Guardian Animals is back on the menu boys
This is scary... It has so much potential in Druid, especially with Kael'thas Sunstrider in the mix. Will see play and make your opponent weep.
8 mana: Kael'thas Sunstrider + Lightning Bloom + Solar Eclipse + Survival of the Fittest.. good luck dealing with that.
Don't know how yet, but the card feels it will enable broken things.
A more flexible Archmage Vargoth.
Flexible in use, and when used with stuff like overgrowth, gives a near insurmountable advantage to druid. We're talking best case scenario would be turn 2, 2x lightning bloom + 1 solar eclipse + overgrowth = start turn 3 with 3 out of 7 mana crystals. Then turn 4 guardian animals. Obviously the situation is more highrolling, but these are perfectly what's wrong with druid cards at the moment.
In other areas, this can be turn 6 deal 8 damage to something and 2 to other enemy minions via swipe. Or it can be as easy as 2 mana deal 6 damage with lunar eclipse. Either way, this is just too good not to build around.
This has huge potential at such a low cost, especially considering the different ways Druid can capitalize on its value. I would not be surprised to see its cost go up.
"Be excellent to each other." -Bill and Ted
This card along with Lunar Eclipse sounds like it has incredible Kael'thas Sunstrider potential.
or heck just Kael'thas sunstrider potential with the mana, being able to double survival of the fittest or animal guardians is insane
* Gazing a the available options that could double up *
... oh no !
Struggle with Heroic Galakrond's Awakening? I got your back :
5/5, not many effects than do this and this is very affordable.
Maybe Guardian [Hearthstone Card (Animals Druid) Not Found] will see the sunlight angain with some eclipse help
This plus Kael'thas Sunstrider equals ROFLSTOMP
Question: If you play Solar Eclipse into Solar Eclipse, do you think the next spell will cast 4 times, or just twice? I'm curious...
Fittest, GA, any ramp spell... Too many sweet options, that card will see a lot of play for sure, and maybe nerfed.
By The Holy Light!
That's what I was thinking...but casting it into itself, will cause it itself to cast again, which would then cast again and again. Would your turn end before you can actually do anything?
As a general rule in hearthstone, multiplicative effects don't stack.
z.B. Two Brann Bronzebeards or two Baron Rivendares
This post is discussing the wild format.
Turn 10 kaelthas + 0 Mana spell + this + double survival of the fittest, maximum greed.
Easy will only go off 2times.
you know why? the spells said Casts TWICE not an extra time. its same way rivendare or brann dont stack.
Yeah, I figured that would be the case... Your logic is sound. :D Thanks for the confirmation!
We've already seen how bonkers double spells can be with Double Time in Duels, so this card will be played in some interesting combo decks... or just Malygos decks :D
TREMBLE before.... the most legendary dragon that ever existed!
I see combo potential, but it is not autoinclude, because outside of comboes it is not as good...

Really scary card. Druid has a lot of abusable, high-powered cards that this will augment even more. Just doubling Overgrowth is going to be huge, especially with all the other ramp tools the class has now that could make that possible even before turn 6. Assuming we get new beasts, Guardian Animals might be a good pairing with this too, though that might be too slow.
Bottom line is, this card could potentially enable some sick, meta-defining combos. Let's see how the rest of the set shakes out.
"Created by Kiri, Chosen of Elune"
One of the most powerful cards that will almost always see play whenever your deck is spell based while, I believe, almost never being added to decks.
Rating cards on coolness factor rather than predicting power because I like screwing up rating averages (and because I suck at predicting real power levels, but we'll ignore that LUL)
Wins per class (2/6/22): DH-197; Druid-996; Hunter-91«60; Mage-1056; Paladin-1126; Priest-746; Rogue-961; Shaman-1095; Warlock-871; Warrior-906
Has the potential for mega greed, or just really good value sometimes. Will help OTK decks get a ""two mana discounted swipe"" or double up on something that draws/generates value. The flexibility of this card is what makes it so strong and will see play in a lot of decks.
Honestly, I can't figure out a combo that would make me want to run this. Overgrowth feels slow, much like Guardian Animals (although that would be a big swing, I give you that). Survival of the Fittest feels very win-more to me.
I'm also sure that I'll be proven wrong on week 1 already.
I was actually just thinking how much I'd love to see this spell in Duels, not with Double Time (which wouldn't do anything), but with the massive spell damage Druid can achieve there.
combo time
TOTAL CORRUPTION
TOTAL POWAAAAAAA
I see so many combos with this its not even funny I think this will be used quite a bit at least in meme decks if not in every combo deck
Self proclaimed good at battlegrounds
Broken Druid card, put it on the nerf list already will ya?
Cheap and a very powerful effect. Will see play in Standard.
Nutty. Just plain broken card will get nerfed.

Can kind see it on a combo attack druid deck, that pluz bite its already 8 dmg
All hail the banshee queen.
Druid's class identity: Crazy multi-card combos. But is it worth the hassle of Kael'thas Sunstrider + Lunar Eclipse/Bog Beam + Solar Eclipse + Survival of the Fittest?
This plus the new 8-mana summon an 8/8 isn't terrible, but feels too slow to not lock out the game.
This might make Malygos Druid more consistent along with Lunar Eclipse for early game removal. I don't think Guardian Druid will want to run Solar Eclipse because they already have efficient late game plays.
For glory, honor, and gold!
Way too many good spells cards to combo with this, this will see play 100%
Hey, you heard about that Mario guy?
This is a good cheap spell for druids to abuse the ladder with lol.
Eclipses are rare, but against Druid you'll see about 3 per game.
Chumbawumba is the worst band name.
I like both the eclipse spells. I would be terrified to see this somehow get palyed with some of their 10 cost spells.
Unfortunately, common sense isn't as common as it should be.
Some combo eventually breaks this, but otherwise I'm not feeling good about putting it into just any deck.
I don't want to cure cancer; I want to turn people into dinosaurs.
Not sure what card Druid would want to play twice in a turn, but it definitely has a lot of combo potential
This ain't no place for a hero
Seems really strong, even if you aren't running lots of huge spells. Being able to flexibly add an extra copy of any spell in your deck to your hand at only 2 mana (sort of, basically, kind of) feels great in most situations, I'd say.
Welcome to the site!
I dread to think what this card will do, it has game-breaking potential for some combos
