    Bite power creep but you need to be a lot better than bite to see play.. at 2 mana it would be considered.

    Reminds me of Feral Rage. Seems like a callback to the old gods set.

    Most "Feral Druid" cards like Claw, Bite, and Gnash aren't very good because they either deal a fair amount of damage for the cost, or not enough damage for the cost, and you also have to use up your heroes health. They do give you armor, but usually not enough to compensate for the damage. This card looks better since 4 damage for 3 mana is pretty good, and the 6 armor should usually be enough to cover all of the damage you are taking with some extra armor left over.

    A bit better than Bite, even if you don't get the armor off, 4 damage for 3 mana is still a decent deal.

    Better than Bite, but those kinda cards have never seen play. Maybe the Y'Shaarj, the Defiler synergy can chance that? This also reminds me of Feral Rage, which is funny enough a Whispers of the old gods card. Druids have always like a way to gain armor though, so i wouldn't be surpriced that it will see play.

    Standard: Y'Shaarj, the Defiler Druid will use this for survivability and removal. Actually you can see Moontouched Amulet kinda like single target removal, which is something druid really lacks.

    Wild: Wont see any play. I think of any deck that might run i... oh yeah Gonk druid exists.. Maybe that meme deck wants it.

    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.

    Great card. Cheap enough to Corrupt early, then lots of value.

    Not bad.  Blizzard must be pushing a lot more for Druid to be more on the offensive with the cards that give bonuses to the Hero Attack

    An attempt to make Secure the Deck valid. Not bad.

    Not something druid wants to do usually. Bite never saw play, a bit of discount will not change that.

    It's very similar to Feral Rage, except Corrupt will simply naturally happen while playing this card than activating the choose both portion of Feral Rage.

    Its a slightly weaker Feral Rage with both effects when corrupted, of which it will almost certainly always will be. Even as a simply 3 mana deal 4 damage, that's a decent if uninteresting effect, but does the removal job well.

    At the moment, I can't see its inclusion because the likelihood is that we'll be seeing more nzoths, cthuns, and yogg from druid than ysharaj. And outside of that mountseller turns out prefer to get cheap spells out than something bulky like this.

    But it wouldn't surprise me one bit if it gets into a tier 2 or tier 1 deck at somepoint within the next year.

    I'm not expecting this to fit in the existing Druid decks. Unless something new pops up, this will have to wait for the next year, at least.

    Nothing really special here, unless someone really wants to make a Y'Shaarj, the Defiler druid deck

    It's not bad, but it seems too weak for it to be good right now. And the Corrupt effect isn't that powerful either. IIRC, Feral Rage was mostly used for the Armor, and the Attack mostly came into play when you had Fandral.

    Worse bite.  Not put into decks, but could be worth off of discover options.

    Meme combo. Reduce gonk and y'shaarj to zero with florist turns, or satyr turns, with this having been played already. play gonk play y'shaarj play shan'do and congrats you did what you can do more easily with two claws instead.

    Living like that.

    This a 3 mana Heroic Strike at a base, with it becoming a slightly better Bite after waiting to corrupt it. I don't see what synergy Moontouched Amulet provides to Druid when they have better removal and healing options.

    Since I’ve commented so much, I might as well go for the achievement. Well, this seems rather bad, considering that Heroic Strike is only 2 costed, and I don’t think the corrupt really saves it because 6 armour is just not very influential to be honest, and not really worth it

    This ain't no place for a hero

    looks like bite with less armor early on and more later on

    This is cheap enough to corrupt for a really improved effect.

    Because it's better than Bite or Feral Rage doesn't necessarily mean that it'll see play.

    An OK spell, but dealing 3 (to a minion) is actually one of the things Druid does really well and for cheaper than this. The armor gain is minimal, and requires you to hold onto this until you can play something more expensive.

    Not horrible, but don't think it's good enough to earn a spot in any particular deck

    I like the card in a vacuum, but am not sure where it is supposed to be used. Is it in aggro decks where it might be hard to corrupt it? Is it early game control/removal where you can still get armor value if you draw it later? I want it to be good, but don't know. 

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

    Less versatile than Feral Rage, but very reminiscent of it all the same. I think this sees a fair amount of play, because it isn't hard for Druid to Corrupt this and they don't need it on turn 3 anyway.
