    This has a lot of potential. Expendable Performers was never a bad card, it was just lacking support. Druid has a lot more support for wide boards than DH. However, this is very expensive, and I don't think the current Token Beast Druid needs a 7-mana reload. There was that one 8-mana Twinspell from Rise of Shadows that saw play, but the meta is very different right now.

    I'm the only one who stops to see if he's dead.

    Hmm. Turns out he's dead.

    This sounds exceptionally strong in Ramp Druid. It'S 14-damage split and a massive comeback tool after ramping.

    Then again, I thought the same about Best in Shell and that card sees no play for some reason

    I tried having fun once.

    It was awful.

    Very strong card for ramp druid, this is basicly one of the best ways for druid to deal with a large board of smaller minions. Also druid has plenty of ramp thanks to Wildheart Guff, however after rotation i'm not sure how good that deck will be considering it's losing a lot of cards such as Overgrowth.

    Still it seems like a great defensive tool for ramp druid, and it also is a nice reload for token druid decks. (Could work in a similar way as The Forest's Aid but with less reloads and less synergy.)

    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.

    Its strong, but you'll never see this outside of a discover effect. Druid has only ever cared about removal insofar as the early game is concerned because they let their minions do the talking in the late game. And in the late game druid wants initiative, not reacting to opponents gameplan.

    Still, even if its only ever out from a discover effect, the card is fundamentally strong on its own so there's that.

    I really hate this card.  In a class where ramping is all too easy in Standard and almost assumed in Wild, this can fire off with buffs incredibly fast .

    This will be dangerous - druid can ramp pretty quick and not only play this but also buff it up etc ... 

    Good Card.

    Well, Arbor Up is leaving soon. This will probably still be scary with a Power of the Wild or 2, assuming that's still around.
