    This card has potential to be fairly cancerous, but for the time being its likely not as good as it seem.

    Mostly because it disrupts the Jerry Rig Carpenter into Nourish gameplan, which nearly all druids bar aggro rely on. And I dont see a world where having two 8 mana cost cards that only ever does one thing win the game for you.

    But it does add some consistency into celestial alignment druid so perhaps its worth it. And cards like these almost always tend to work because it adds to druid's consistency, just about the only weakness the class has or ever will have apparently.

    Looks weak to me but maybe getting Neptulon or Onyxia  2-turns early is strong enough for it to matter.

    I tried having fun once.

    It was awful.

    Well, unless the minion or spell you pick costs 8 or more, playing this will suck. You also have to pick something that doesn't rely on a battlecry, and I expect any spell will be cast with a random target. Maybe the right deck can make this work.

    Not sure you'd want Onyxia since she would just be an 8/8 with rush

    What I am curious on this is how it will Discover.  Will it give you 2 random cards and you select one?  Or will you be given two different Discovery 3-cards to choose from for Minion or Spell?  

    If it is the latter, this cards has a LOT of potential to give you lots of stuff.  If it's the first, not so good.

    The new Legendary Dragon makes whelps on nature spells. These should trigger her immunity. So it may still be worth.

     

    I assume how this will work is "choose minion or spell" then trigger the discover. 

     

    Looking forward to this, seems like a fun build around spell.

    This has potential to become very dangerous - right now im not so sure but i still think it is decent!

    Pretty great spell for Big Druid and it's also Choose one, so Jerry Rig Carpenter and Raid Negotiator will be great but it'll also muck up the Discover minion pool

    You know what, I just sort of forgot that Onyxia isn't a Colossal

    This feels like a very strong card, especially in Celestial Alignment decks. Lets look out for this one.

    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.

    The ultimate tutor card, but it's too expensive. The obvious synergy with Celestial Alignment is disgusting, obviously, but I cannot believe they will ever allow that card to become good and stay good for any length of time. This card gets 2 stars from me, but I'm sure we'll see plenty of people trying to make it work.

    I feel like we can never underestimate mana cheat, especially in class notorious for ramping up those mana crystals, but I know what you mean.

    You are either building towards Big Minions or Big Spells. There is no in between.

    Quite expensive, but I'm sure it can work in the right deck. Another tool for Big Druid, I suppose.

    In duels this card will be one of the new nightmares if getting discovered with Marvelous Mycelium for both effects with 9 mana, if you already played Guff, this can be just a finisher
