No words for this card
Kenny's little poet. 😇
Best card of the set.
I don't know how or why... but I feel that this is just a bad idea. Gladly, Druid doesn't have any mass clears or this would be extremely scary
dont know what to say about this.... can be a good card to destroy aggro if you have the right mana ramp in hand but lets see
Seems like a meme card on first glance, but most of the time you will reach 7 mana around turn 3-4 as druid, so it's playable. And you can use this to play BIG Druid, which is pretty cool. In wild it will probably be in Astral Communion druid.
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.
Don't know what to say, so looks like a romantic painting of a star wars scene?
Almost a double Pocket Galaxy
4 Mana 7/7
Play this card and then play Mojomaster Zihi. Very good card in wild Druid thnx to all their draw cards and especially Ultimate Infestation.
Ribbit
Very weird card
-=alfi=-
Weird card, I think too slow, but hard to tell.
This is like a better Astral Communion to me. It'll reduce all your big things to 1, and mana and card draw are something druid does super well. You don't have to worry about accidentally drawing strong minions and having to discard them, and your opponent probably can't make as much use as you can
Seems like a good card, even better meme
Astral Communion 2: Electric Boogaloo.
"You better have some 10-costs in hand fucko"
I tried having fun once.
It was awful.
I love this one. I am looking forward playing this
Such an amazing meme. Can't wait to see this in play, or randomly generated :D
This is very slow, but maybe it has some potential? It basically says you can play 1 card per turn, then 2 cards per turn, then 3 cards per turn etc. So if your cards have a higher base cost and are more impactful, then this will benefit you way more than your opponent. It is very hard to play though since it is 7 mana and it doesn't effect the board. One of the big things though is that you are dropped to 0 mana when you play it, which means you won't be able to play any more cards that turn and your opponent will get to play their cards before you play yours.
Carrion, my wayward grub.
Fittest and Infestation?
Nothing but 10-mana meta from here on out!
5 Star, brilliant, I want to play this right now.
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.
very interesting card. to benefit from this, you need a high cost deck. can you survive tho?
interesting card ... I don't see how, but somebody will find a way to abuse it :)
I am 69 years old and still reach Legend
Really weird card dunno
Such a crazy card. Really don't know what to make of it so far.
This looks so meme, I love it.
Nature Studies + Wild Growth + Overgrowth + this is the dream. After that, I dunno, play big minions.
OBLIVION!
Is it broken? I'm not sure, but I actually could see this being played. It allows Druid to force the game to slow down for a turn or two, at least so long as your opponent doesn't have an endless supply of huge plays to respond with.
It's not that weird. You use it in a top-heavy ramp/control deck with lots of draw.
You will definitely win after playing this if you time it right.
OMG I love this. Similar to Nozdormu the Timeless. Let the shenanigans begin!

latest combo card
Crazy design. Surely some crazy shenanigans will pop out of this card
Value for its effect

I don't see it now, but this will enable some broken stuff!
yes YES YEEEEEAAASSSSSS ty blizz <3
Super cool card, probly my favourite of the set.
What is it with Druids and Mana memes? I've never been a good deckbuilder so I definitely can't see how to make it work, but I still daresay it won't be competitively viable.
Interesting concept I can't wait to see played... Is the card good? No idea... But it does impress me
Lemushki - The one and only since the 2006 rebranding.
let the memes begin
This is just straight up insane...or its literally as unplayable as Astral Communion. My opinion is on the former.
Druids draw better than others and ramp better than others, so effectively you're saying the opponent can only play 1 card while I play more than 1 card, and my cards are bigger and more impactful than my opponent's. Against some classes like rogue, its basically lights out.
Feels like the 2021 version of Astral Communion, same high meme level, same low power level.
I wonder if this is used for cheating big cards out or if it is used more to setup a big board and then make it hard to clear by limiting mana.
I've been thinking about this again, and honestly, it's not even that much of a meme.
All you really need for it to work is not be completely overwhelmed on board. By playing this you can essentially limit your opponent's next 3 turns to potentially play far below their potential.
Like, imagine a Rogue being able to only play 2 cards while you casually fart out massive taunts.
Honestly, the biggest problem is getting there without losing on board (at which point, haven't you basically won already anyways?)
I tried having fun once.
It was awful.
Nice
Not sure if it is really strong, but certainly a dangerous card
English is not my native language, so please excuse occasional mistakes
Why didn't Blizzard let Trolden reveal this card since Celestial Alignment should give him enough content for at least 5 videos on its own?
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
Meme of the year.
Can't wait to see it being played out of Yogg.
Uhhhhhhhhhhh...
Let's just say I hope this isn't meta.
I want to compare this card to crazy effects like Deck of Lunacy or Deck of Chaos but, nope this doesn't compare. This has to be a meme card, right?
TREMBLE before.... the most legendary dragon that ever existed!
Nice card to play meme games. Some kind like Aviana but much more funnier.
Astral Communion but way better! A deck divining card that I hope will introduce a new archetype in Wild, but maybe even in Standard as well. A real treat for all deck builders.
Arena > Wild > Standard
5 stars, very stupid. Love everything about this card. Gonna put three copies in my deck and concede every match.
I don't want to cure cancer; I want to turn people into dinosaurs.
Hi trolden .
could be quite fun
Now this is the most insane card I've ever seen in my life.
Not necessarily good mind you, but insane.
A really bizarre card, 100% flavorfull and will get a hell of a combo OTK potential.
I support it.
Papa Nurgle wants to share his gifts.
This is the trickiest card to come out. Unless you have the mana ramp right after to take advantage, you are handing the game to your opponent. On the other hand if you can utilize the card first, you'll blow them out of the water
I tried coming up with my own comment, but, "you better have some 10-costs in hand fucko," took care of it for me.
Chumbawumba is the worst band name.
This card is warlock levels of risky.
Looks fun, meme but fun!
Casual Dragon Cardgame enthusiast.
This is a weird one I think. I'd assume it will require a lot of build-around to make it work.
I hope, we will come up with some crazy OTK deck that using this card.
That is some very imaginative design, threading the line between meme and oppressive. I think this will be a meme card in standard, but I dunno in Wild...there are just lots of ways for Druid to abuse this in Wild. We'll see.
super memey card - 7 mana to do absolutely nothing seems way too slow even for a deck that is geared towards this (with big minions and ramp presumably to benefit)
I can't go pass the meme here .. it seem so weird.
I read someone mentioning Astral Communion, and even that - as better as it was - barely saw any play ...
Fun concept on paper, but little to no use for it
Struggle with Heroic Galakrond's Awakening? I got your back :
Agreed !Agreed !
I'm really excited to play this one. Hopefully it's not just a meme
Interesting, awaiting how it works out, could be bad or very good
I'm not online it's just your imagination
Destroying all the mana cristal from enemy is not "nothing".
Enemy will just play 1 card and druid can innervate and play some crazy combo. Yes, sounds like a meme card works, but don't subestimate it!
By The Holy Light!
This card sounds annoying to play against. But does really Druid need this?

Big Druid Tier 1
Deck defining card. Gives the for me as Astral Communion.
Feels like a feast or famine card. You will have to build around this and fill your deck with a lot mana cheats and big minions. The problem is if you don't draw this and be stuck with clunky hand. Or since the effect is mirrored, you meet another ultra greedy deck that can benefit from the insane mana reduction. However, if this works, it really works.
Looks more like a meme Card but defenitely has potential to be Bonkers!
Interesting, and for sure will mess around with that one.
Challenge me ... when you're ready to duel a god!
Very unique, not for Constructed though.
What am I looking at ? This card might just break the game ?
Cool effect, I guess this is for a deck where you want to play big cards cheaply. But you have to draw this and survive long enough to play it.
That's a trolden card. If you play big minions it can be in your favor but dont you want to ramp instead?

5/10, but meme potential 10/10
This card is completely broken and will probably be in every GA and Clown Druid. Corrupting the clowns might look impossible at first sight, but Razormane Battleguard can be used to temporarily reduce their cost to zero.
YIKES!
Brilliant card. Lets see what whacky combos those genius deck builders come up with!
Cool meme, but that is about it

Like everyone here I'm really unsure of how to assess this card, but I will say that the artwork is beautiful and I hope it looks nice in gold :)
Started playing HS in May, 2015. The bad news: I missed the excitement of 'Naxx out?' and GvG. The good news: I never met an Undertaker.
Really hard to judge this. The dream is that you ramp into this, and then play something like Nourish the very next turn so you can start dumping your hand full of (presumably) huge minions.
Maybe that dream is doable, but I don't see it.
Hardest card to rate it might make some insane combos but i can't see any yet.
big druid
In most case this seems like a meme card. The main problem of this card is the fact that your opponent will be the first to be able to play theri card at 1 mana. So the only spot where you are glad to play Celestial Alignment is in a sorta of Big Druid against not Big Deck
Good card to set up for OTK decks. Love it and can't wait to try it!
...why did they print that? In a meme deck for sure
Meme potential is over 9000!
Thank goodness scrapyard isn't leaving
Can be used for a combo with Star Aligner, well if stars.... align (wild)
I don't know if it's any good, but people will build interesting decks around it, and I look forward to seeing them.
I'm getting some scary Ramp Paladin vibes off of this. The fact that the opponent will have less to do than you and Celestial Alignment allows you to get Druid of the Plains off of Guardian Animals, this allows for some non-interactive blowout games from one card.
For glory, honor, and gold!
Insane card, can't wait to see what kind of crazy combos it'll enable
Time to turn games into Tavern Brawls again. Super fun!
I hope there will be a meme deck with this card
I don't even know if this is bad or good.
This is a high tier meme card, and a potentially dangerous card down the line, but it's hard to tell if this will actually be viable.
In any other class, this would be idiotic. But in Druid, which can cycle like Lance Armstrong and has gigantic spells, that 7 mana drain is worth it. You don't need a super expensive deck - those gigantic spells can boost all your minions into big ole minions. Just use the traditional Spell Druid shell and it'll be fine, frankly.
Second point, though - it's worth it... for you and your opponent. As the Druid, you can only make one board of Clowns (i.e.) a turn. As the opponent, they can clear that and THEN develop themselves. Usually they aren't left with enough mana to do so. That hamstrings the Druid somewhat. Not to mention, classes like Demon Hunter or OTK classes, provided they're holding draw, will have an absolute field day.
My initial assessment is that this will have a deck, but will be far too unstable to be competitive.
Better call Thrall!
One of the strongest cards in the set, couple this with guardians package and some mana growth and you can dominate. 5/5
the meme is so strong. big druid came to play
in a weird way, it reminds me of astral communion
I'm looking forward to seeing the deck creations coming out from this.
I've been here a while; just hanging out in the background.
Way stronger than expected, it more or less dominated the theorycrafting streams
good card
This card will require a well tuned deck to utilize properly. I suppose you would need some ramp to get there and then some card draw to make sure you draw enough of your now discounted cards to make them useful. Do you include early game removal as well or just go with the ramp package?
Unfortunately, common sense isn't as common as it should be.
I think this will be a great F/U card to screw with your opponent. It can really slow down the game, and if you are prepared, you can easily outpace them. Or you can just screw yourself over by giving your opponent an advantage to play before you.
Incredibly fun meme card. Or maybe even more than that. Ramp, Giants, Survival of the Fittest. You can always make sure you get more out of the effect than your opponent.
Reminds me of Nozdormu the Timeless (before cheese shenanigans), where even though it changes the way the game goes, the opponent gets the benefit earlier which often screws you over. Now, this doesn't come with an 8/8 body and it costs 3 more, BUT this literally changes the game.
I just hope Team5 did rigorous testing on this one, it would surely be extremely polarizing if it were a big part of the meta.
I gave 3 stars from what I've seen so far. Still a great combo potential.
This will be a new druid archetype. Cheat out strong beasts with guardian. Cheat out mama with nourish and bloom. Also mana lock your opponents.
Is this an April's fool?
For The HORDE!
I'm having flashbacks to Astral Communion. I can't wait to see the Trolden video where the player's Yog casts this and the opponent immediately bursts them down with 1-cost cards.

I thought this would be a fun card, and watching some of Regis's matches yesterday, it did not disappoint! It's obnoxious, but in an entertaining way (at least, I think so). Time to find a way to build around this, so as to get the most value.
I mean... what? I don't have the brains to figure out if this card is good or bad or just plain silly. I think if you build your deck right it almost always benefits you more than the opponent... but I honestly don't know.
Welcome to the site!
This is THE meme card of the set.
