    seems solid for treant decks.. but treant decks aren't solid atm getting more card draw is kind of key with aeroponics and such.

    I like seeing Corrupt using in cool ways like this.  I think this will be solid in Token decks, but little application elsewhere.

    3 mana summon two 2/2s is already a card, and it isn't played much outside of token druid. If you can corrupt it then it is pretty good for a token based deck that can utilize the wide board and also loves the cheap draw. But if you are playing a token based strategy, the corrupt may be a bit clunky to trigger.

    Super solid card. Great for treant druid, and a druid deck that runs Greybough. Also it can draw you a card, so that's always nice.

    Standard: Treant druid will use it, and Greybough druid. (Honestly why doesn't Greybough count as a treant?)

    Wild: It's ODD Costed, but ODD Druid is one big meme. I don't think any other druid deck wants this... Well at least Gibberling and OTK Druid don't want it, and those are the best druid decks in wild right now.

    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.

    Draw is draw, but statline is iffy. Not expecting this to see much play, unless Treant Druid somehow makes it into the meta.

    Looks good for a swarm deck, you just drop this to create a trent on curve or if you have it in hand and did not see play you can corrupt it.
    Also you can just cycle it.

    It is worse than Landscaping for Treant synergy, although the flexibility of choosing to draw might make it good judging by how Rising Winds went. Unlike most other Corrupt cards, this one is actually not bad in its base form, although its Corrupted upgrade is weaker than most Corrupt cards.

    More treant support and/or hand helping.  It's solid enough, but I don't know how much play it will see in serious decks

    Landscaping saw play in Treant druid and, although this isn't as good by itself, Faire Arborist can see a similar role in the deck.

    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)

    Nice little support for token druid. I can see it being in there. But as for whether token druid will ever see more than niche play? Probably not.

    I see no reason to summon a tree but a 3 mana do both seems great on paper at least

    Seems like it would be something run in a quest druid, but then having it corrupt into basically the same effect is kind of weird.  Maybe if treant druid comes back it could be run in that.

    3 mana 5/5 on 2 bodies and draw,  a lot of stats and good effect. Very strong

    As the name implies, this Arborist looks like a fair card. I think Druid already has more interesting options for card draw at the 2 mana slot with Breath of Dreams and Wrath, so I think this will be run as a Landscaping that can draw later on when corrupted in Token Druid. The issue is, I don't think Token Druid is as consistent as the frontrunner archetype of the class, Guardian Druid, so I think Faire Arborist and Token Druid will have a limited impact on the meta.

    Crappy card, even the corrupted version seems weak IMO.

    Fair card, but won't see much play in Standard. Arena is where this card will shine.

    This is a decent card not flashy or over powered.

    Decent, but I'm having trouble picturing Token Druid being able to corrupt this consistently. Oh well, 3 mana two 2/2s isn't bad at all.

    This wants to be in Token Druid, but Token Druid won't run enough cards to Corrupt it regularly. Either choice is fine by itself, but fine doesn't cut it.

    Strong card, will likely see some play given how easy it is to corrupt and get value out of it

    A very solid card. But, does solid cut it these days in building decks? Maybe it gets run in token druid for some hand refill.

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

    Reminds me of a lot of other Druid cards, all of which have been fairly good in the right deck. It's versatile, it can do both effects quite easily, and even if its just another variation on an effect, it's a reliably good effect, so I'm down.
