I'm not sure. It does allow you to play three Chef Nomis, which may be a win con. I like the continuity of Elise always being a 5-mana 5/5.

Very good in Wild (where Reno Druids already exists), but is it strong enough to build whole deck around it? I doubt it. I think that this card might enable tricky combo, but currently I don't have any ideas.
Elise was originally a 4 mana 3/5
That actually seems like a pretty reasonable use. Miracle your deck. Copy Nomi, Copy Floop. Now you have 4 boards. Savage roars, and reasonable heal.
Amazing potential with Flobbidinous Floop
Dunno how viable Elise would be in both formats, but I like how she offers a lot of combo potential. Imho together with Sir Finley she is one of the GOOD guys, who is going to be worth the dust. Also, the following is a minor thing to praise, but I like how her effect matches her title ("the Enlightened") quite nicely.
Interesting card. On raw power and not the context of class it seems the strongest of the 4. 5 5/5 draw till you double your handsize is super good value but there is no reason to build a highlander deck around that on it's own especially with the power level of druid.
There are potentials for some combo stuff with malygos moonfire stuff. Play this, now you have two floop, two maly and two moonfire, play a floop version of this on the same turn, now you have 4 moonfire, maly, and 2 floop, then next turn you can maly for 24 damage to the face, or you can maly and then the turn after THAT, you double floop maly for like 40+ damage.
something like that, you get the idea. certainly a way to optimize it better but i haven't thought about it too much. this challenge will be making a druid highlander deck that can live long enough to draw 4 specific cards.
Seems not worth to me.. if you want duplicates of stuff why run a highlander deck?
How is this very good in wild?
A deck "existing" doesn't mean it's good. Technically all reno decks already "exist" in wild. It's just that none of them are even close to competitive besides three.
Oops.

Duplicate legendaries.
worst community ever
At first glance this seems pretty exciting until you realise that most of the value gained from hand-duplication is lost in the highlander requirement. For the moment the only reason I see to play this would be floop into floop into ????, but that seems veeery slow.
Not trying to defend this card or anything but a lot of people seem to think that you need to build a highlander deck to make this work. This is not true, you just need no duplicates in your deck.
People seem to forget, that a deck with duplicates can still include this card. Just all of them need to be drawn before she is played.
There are some crazy combos to be made with it:
Aviana + Kun the Forgotten King + Elise the Enlightened + 2xMalygos + Gloop Sprayer gives +20 spellpower (doable already with Faceless Manipulator) and doubles all the spells on top of that.
So basically build a deck without duplicates and play this to get them anyway. Hard to rate this card without knowing the rest of the set.

To me the powerful part of this card is being able to duplicate legendaries which druid does have a fair bit of strong ones. I have been getting rank 5 plus each season with a Lucentbark already and I really like her for that deck for duping lucentbark and floop against control shaman and priest. It sucks to lose some of the healing but you can still run multiples of those and just hope they aren't on the bottom of your deck. Also her combo potential is through the roof.
I think you are looking at this backwards.
In a highlander pay off deck aren't there cards you want two of?
When I build highlander decks I often run Zola the Gorgon or Baleful Banker or the like to get multiple Reno Jackson or Kazakus (for Kabal classes) minions into my hand/deck. So This I can see this card being quite useful. However this card is less of a build around than Reno. This is a card you definitely add to your Reno deck but I don't see decks being built as highlander just for this. I'd want to see another strong build around card, hopefully in neutral, to bring all these cards together in standard.
All that said I do love this card. Simple design with a fun effect.

Except that you're just making any Aviana, Kun the Forgotten King combo significantly worse by adding in Elise the Enlightened. You can't draw her off Juicy Psychmelon and you're adding way more cards than necessary for a game winning combo.
To be fair, she was a 5/5 in Un'goro.
I guess she won some muscle when she was in the crater and hasn't lost it :)
I think this is very powerful and not only usable in Highlander Decks - i kinda think that this is gonna be a sleeper card - not that good at the beginning of the Expansion but will wreak Havoc a little after that :)

Probably best explorer of all 4.
The pleasure is mine.
My last standard decks: nothing special right now.
To me, the biggest issue with this card is druid's inherent lack of removal. Combining that with Highlanders natural inconsistency, we end up with a deck that is way too dependant on not losing the board so we can dictate all trades on the board.
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
This goes infinite with Floop, Floops Gloup, Bees! and Moonfire:
have only those 5 cards in hand, then play elise
your hand is 2x Floop (set to copy elise) 2x Gloup, 2x Bees! and 2x Moonfire
Cast one Moonfire on Elise, then double Gloup and cast Bees! on her.
as a result all 4 bees + elise die, giving you 10 mana back.
from here on out you can cast floop into bees killing floop infinite times, giving you infinite copies of moonfire along the way!
How am I adding cards to this combo? Without Elise or Faceless Manipulator, we need 3 spells to do 30 damage and we have no chance to kill high armor opponents. With Elise one Moonfire is enough so effectively we need one less card for OTK. Also we complete the combo by Juicy Psychmelon + Jepetto Joybuzz. Although now I see we only get 15 spell power with Gloop Sprayer, while still 20 with Faceless Manipulator due to board space. I am not saying it will be tier one, but it will be stronger than the current version.
Not to mention, that since my original comment a lot of other Elise combos were discovered, so I am excited to try her out.
