Great synergy, great card.
Well i think this can be realy good - of course depending on what kind of Spells will be Nature Spells and what new Nature Spells we will get. But i mostly can see this work in some sort of Token Druid maybe Beast .... defenitely has potential!
I Kinda like it!

good card for the druids, so nice to keep them buffing
I'm not online it's just your imagination
This seems quite good, especially since Druid can easily cast 4 or 5 spells a turn. Love how they are continuing to build on the spell tribes with legendary cards.
Considering the fact that Nature spells seem to be the only spells druid will have as a class, I'm excited to slot this into a token druid deck. Lots of value, even if it only sticks around for a few turns
4 Mana 7/7
I guess treant Druid or something like that could have a couple of nature spells over to use this for. At first look it seems quite weak, but if I open it I will try and make it work.
Super nasty! At only 3 mana, drop this after sticking a board (something Druid excels at) and spam the spells! It won't target itself, so every buff goes to a ready-to-attack minion.

Good card, the buffs can go out of hand really quickly I think.
Good card. Not game breaking or over powered but a good solid card to use in conjunction with developing a board. Will likely see play in multiple decks
Looks pretty strong, not even just in token Druid but in general (depending of course on how many Nature spells there are in total)
My biggest worry is that he might end up a bit too strong due to Innervate and Lightning Bloom.
I mean, combine this with Gibberlinge and shit gets out of hand really fast....and Gibberlings are already really overpowered
I tried having fun once.
It was awful.
I suppose can be good with Gibberling

ooh I like this in a spell focused token deck, could be a great minion, a shame its ANOTHER minion, or this would have been really cool.
Since a lot of spells on the token Druid arsenal will probably become nature spells, when looking at how the deck operates and how useful an effect like Guff Runetotem's effect would be on that deck, the only reason why this card might not see play is the fact that Fungal Fortunes will most likely remain as a priority card for the class and the anti-synergy between these two cards is palpable.
However, if token Druid ends up deviating from Fungal Fortunes and finds another way to refuel his hand, Guff Runetotem will most likely be a staple on that 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)
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
All you need to do is proc this once to get pretty decent value. Worse case scenario, you get a minion that's nearly vanilla and has a soft taunt.
Not sure how many nature spells are support for Token decks but if there are enough this is great.
A balanced legendary for druid
Banned for spamming.
Once again a card that is really hard to evaluate. The fact that cheap ramp spells like Innervate (and probably Lightning Bloom too) are going to be Nature spells allow some crazy shenanigans, but will those be enough to earn Guff a spot.
Or maybe people will just play him as a 2/4 that will soft-force your opponent to use their turn on dealing with him, and the buffs are just a bonus you might occasionally get.
I assume this will be nerfed soon ... too strong with aggro druid
I am 69 years old and still reach Legend
My favorite kind of deck is one that builds a board and then buffs it so it sticks around, so Guff is right up my alley. Hope it'll be the MacGuffin that wins some games for me!
The most obvious observation is that this could fit into a token deck, but we gotta see Nature spells first.
OBLIVION!
This seems lackluster in that it would really require you to be able to dump a spell or two when this is cast in order to benefit from it without it getting silenced or shot down right away. Aren't those newest eclipse cards more Balance related?
This could be really good in token druid .Big druid dont know or maybe a beast druid would come to life ?That said i really love the art of the card.
This guy seems really strong. It sort of depends though. Is lightening bloom going to be a nature spell? What spells will be? If this has the right collection of spells in the nature category then I can see this almost being broken.
See this slotting in great in spell-heavy token druid decks. Druid is normally great at being able to cast lots of cheap spells in a turn, so this offers another way to take your tokens and turn them into a threat or lethal damage.
Good card with good synergy will be a great card for ramp druid
Buff Druid time
Rogue DH
Very good card, especially in a token druid deck. Definetely will see play
So how many Token Druid cards are Nature Spells? He is going to be crazy good.
Hey, you heard about that Mario guy?
Now lets' hope all druid spells are nature spells.
Get ready to be high rolled to death with druid. We lost edwin in rogue, but gain it straight back in druid.
Fortunately, it cant buff itself. Be thankful for small mercies.
If you can stick a board and use this to end the game, it's a clunky Savage Roar, which is fine.
With Twinspell rotating out, it's going to be hard to get a ton of value, and there's no way this guy is sticking at any point in the game when it really matters. Seems like most often you'll do your power turn, get cleared, then have no follow-up because you played all your spells trying to get Guff value.
So I guess I'm not as impressed as everyone else seems to be.
In Paladin, for example, spells that summon minions have no school.
If Druid follows that pattern (and I believe it will), everyone's Token dreams for Guff are shattered.
I think this is strong especially in Token Druid. You do what you usually do: cheat mana, buff your board, summon tokens - and receive additional buffs on top. I'm assuming that nearly every Druid spell will have the Nature type.
Gibberlings are really happy right now.
Papa Nurgle wants to share his gifts.
Potentially very good with Gibberling, we already know that Innervate is a nature spell. Depends greatly on which other Nature spells we get and which old spells become Nature spells (Adorable Infestation)?
Pretty strong in token spell Druid, I'm just kinda disappointed that the effect is boring :/
good buff synergies if cheap druid spells are nature spells... which they will be... right?
I like this card, but not too sure this will be powerfull enough to see play this expansion... Maybe next one
Lemushki - The one and only since the 2006 rebranding.
Stonetusk Boar changed for this. Seems good if you can use the stats immediately on something like Charge minions.
solid body and a huge free buffs i take it
Looks strong, if you can play on 3 and hopefully survive
I quite like this card as a board buff support.
At this point I have spent too much money on these games to quit.
Now pass me another pack, and lets see what I pull.
Great for token Druid I guess. Love the card art, could be awesome in golden :)

Hmm not this is a VERY interesting card. Almost all druid spells are Nature Spells, considering their nature spell specialists. I think this will see play in some kind of minion base token druid deck, and i think that deck will be decent with cards like Enchanted Raven in the core set. I think Guff Runetotem has a LOT of potential.
Also in b4 druid gets a Book of Specters reprint, even though it wouldn't synergise that well. (Maybe that deck will run Venomous Scorpid to get spells?)
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 looks very powerful, broken. but still, we need to know all the nature spells tho.
Depends on the number of nature spells, but seems pretty decent at first sight
English is not my native language, so please excuse occasional mistakes
With treant summoning spells this card will be a very strong addition
Makes aggro broken IMHO...
That's the Tauren from the trailer, isn't he?
these buff decks were traditionaly not good enough to be played
What a cute and happy tauren!
I'm all up in this card, great for the typical druid archetypes.
Druid buffs are back, baybay!
Token druid!
Wait, is Mark of the Lotus a Nature spell? ... oh no.
Anyway, this and other cards will make it very fun to evaluate cards from older sets and make new decks in Wild ^^
Better call Thrall!
Uper duper boring
Rock over London, rock on Chicago: Gruff Runetotem; the buffs are getting around!
Chumbawumba is the worst band name.
This is very strong. Depending on what spells are Nature spells, you could get a very big turn with this
With the taunt support it appears druids will have, this could spiral out of control quickly.
Historically, Token Druid is the Druid archetype that cares about buffing its minions, and with cheap nature spells like Innervate, Lightning Bloom, and maybe Nature Studies(?), Guff Runetotem can be a great way to follow up a token board in the loss of Savage Roar. You only really need two nature spells to get more than enough stats for Guff's cost, not to mention how much burst this can provide when buffing a board that can attack face. Depending on what new nature spells are printed as well as what existing spells become nature spells, I see Guff being a serious consideration for Token Druid.
For glory, honor, and gold!
I think this will be a great support for token druid cause probably most of druid spells should be nature
Too bad it can't buff itself, but otherwise seems strong if there are cheap Nature spells. Kinda like permanent spellburst
This looks scary. The burst potential is enormous if this goes uncontested. Wouldn't be surprised if the nerf hammer strikes this one eventually.
Arena > Wild > Standard
Decent stat + a good buff effect.
Ribbit
Underwhelming legendary... Blizzard you have lost your imagination?
Oh wow, this card will launch token druid right up to tier 1, guaranteed. We can assume the majority of druid spells will be of the nature variety so this card will be an auto include in every aggro/token druid
TREMBLE before.... the most legendary dragon that ever existed!
I think this one will work out nicely as it is a must kill pretty quickly, as if you let it live, it can really get out of hand. More fun spell druid stuff makes me smile.
since savage roars is gone this might be a good replacement for token druid
Should be pretty useful in a token druid deck. I am a little disappointed though that we didn't get a beast synergy druid legendary.
Carrion, my wayward grub.
It's okay i guess, maybe there's some kind of otk but they took out most charge minion
All druid spells will be nature? But nice win more card
-=alfi=-
This could be really deadly with the right hand/board. Definitely takes some set up but I can see this being strong.
Casual Dragon Cardgame enthusiast.
Don't know, looks too fair to me. Kinda like it, but it's not too exciting.
This seems very likely to see play in token druid decks if they are running mostly Nature spells anyway, since most of those decks contain 20+ spells and the effect is "after", so you can play this, play a Nature spell that summons a minion, and this can give one of the minions you just summoned +2/+2.
It seems fairly strong, should be a perfect fit for Token Druids. Thankfully it can't target itself or we'd have a Questing Adventurer situation again.
Yeah token and aggro druid card. Cant say for sure that I like it though.
This seems balanced.
Innervate is a nature spell, so that's a good start. We'll just have to see what other cheap nature spells druid gets, in order to know how good it is.
Hm, can see some play in token druid.
So I guess if he's alone it doesn't buff.
Nature Druid spellslinging! That actually sounds kinda fun. I anticipate that most Druid spells with be Nature spells anyway, so this card will likely have a lot of targets.
The 'nature' tag was retro-fitted to most (if not all) druid's magical arsenal. Have a look at the new core set
Struggle with Heroic Galakrond's Awakening? I got your back :
Token druids love this card
Could be good, depends on what the nature spells are.
Token dudu might make good use of this
good card
Kenny's little poet. 😇
I guess its a card made to up yours minions in one big turn. If there is possibilities to copy this minion or cast nature spell for a low cost it can create new otk decks
Murlocs <3
Cutest card of the set! This will see a lot of play i am certain. Can be played in multiple decks very flexible!
So many cheap Nature spells... So little Mana... - except you get more with Lightning Bloom and Innervate. I can't not see this working at least at some point in the next 2 years. Hell, even in wild it could be pretty good.
Pretty good stats. If stuff like lightning bloom are nature, then it’ll be even better
Good card...maybe too much? If you get a minion to stick in the late game, this card can be a "finisher". Easily buffing a minion by 8-10 attack in one turn with Mark of the Spikeshell, Innervate and Lightning Bloom
Has some potential but now sure how good this will be.
I think this works best with big taunts.
Great card too bad it doesn't buff itself
Now I'm pretty sure innervate will be a nature spell lol
For The HORDE!
That card can work as finnisher like Savage Roar, so you don't want to buff a minion that can't attack yet.
By The Holy Light!
Innervate, Lightning Bloom, token will like this
Could get nutty in a token deck
quite good - a token deck with buff spells will probably find this quite insane
for druid token
Cool tool to get extra stats in a Token Druid deck. I like it. It might be a little out of the way for most Token decks, but I definitely think its worth a shot.
I don't want to cure cancer; I want to turn people into dinosaurs.
Cool
Since Druid has so many cheap (or free, rather) Nature spells like Innervate, this could be quite a strong card
Nature combo decks incoming. Propably we will see quick nerf
A perfectly fine card. It doesn’t have to be a legendary, but it is a good solid (and abusable?) card that can easily be associated with a named character. I look forward to learning more about him.
You're probably not dropping this turn 3, and you're going to need a reasonable amount of minions. The 3 mana 2/2 in priest is pretty good, so this could be quite decent.
You need a lot of pieces to line up to get the benefit. I don't think it's worth it.
I like the spell class synergy. I hope this really pushes decks to be a little more differentiated from one another.
Unfortunately, common sense isn't as common as it should be.
Druid has a bunch of auto-include Nature spells and this can get out of control easily. Very good card.
Seems like a good card for an Aggro Druid archetype with a bunch of cheap spells that you can combo out to build a bigger board.
Can develop big minions fast , look forward to trying this out
efficient in token deck
This will get nerfed
Druid might be the new Small Spell Mage.
Good card for token druid and just regular tempo plays.
I can see this being good in a token druid just because of Innervate and Lightning Bloom. If you can get a Gibberling down as well, it could be insane.
~ An expertly disguised dinosaur
Seems like an easy inclusion to a token Druid deck, where hopefully plenty of your generation spells and buffs will be Nature spells.
Welcome to the site!
Little Guff all grown up. I really hope that there are a decent number of low cost nature spells to proc his effect a while bunch.
