    not impressed, Big Druid doesn't really have a build right now and Dragon Druid seems to be battlecry focussed.

    I tried having fun once.

    It was awful.

    This is super niche, and while it can be very powerful, its not always powerful. A 1 mana recruit effect is interesting, but the way you have to build your deck and the requirement for the effect make it less exciting to me.

    To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of the women.

    Good card for a big Druid variant.

    Obviously want to use this with cards that do not require being played from hand to get their full effect. Could offer a massive tempo swing if you pull out a big taunt or rush minion from this. I can see this being experimented with, but whether the archetype will have enough support is hard to see.

    Pretty easy to activate, but you get a random minion from your deck and lose out on any battlecry. Probably not worth it in a lot of cases, but maybe you could build a deck around something like this (e.g. include mostly rush minions and high value deathrattles).

    Works with embiggen but messes up like every other card we've seen from druid maybe it could be used in a Malygos otk of some kind but I don't see too much use other than big druid.

    Not bad, play 2-3 minoins and summon a big minion. This will help big druid, and druid has a enough draw that you wouldn't mind drawing this on the later turns. This will probably be a pretty consistent card, and with the new ramp card as well as all of the big dragons, and all of the 'evasive' cards, big druid will probably be a force to reckon with.

    Bad if you’re running a decent amount of early game, but if you run a lot of late game it gets really inconsistent. Doubt this’ll see that much play

    Dragon druid? most dragons are midrangy, and you could run mostly spells early game in druid so big dragon druid could use such card, just that recruiting a random card.. make it quite restrictive to run this card you probably don't want choose one or situational minions.. and then you have to spend 10 mana on minions..

    People here mentioned Embiggen ye, maybe that..

    Works well with Embiggen, but outside of that I don't feel it. You want to Recruit with a purpose; otherwise you're rolling the dice every time you use this Sidequest, hoping that it's not going to pull out a Battlecry.

    There are so much minions that Druid can summon with spells so only big and slow minions(I meant non-battlecry ones) can be used for this deck and hope that 2 minions will be enough to complete this side-quest but well this strategy might not work if you draw all of the big minions at early and couldn't draw this.

    Well, there are still good big minions in Druid's range. So I can't be sure that it might work or not. So meta dependent.

    I don't see this gaining much traction. Obvious synergy with Big Druid, but aside from Embiggen there's no other support for that archetype right now. Perhaps gets play in Wild?

    I don't think it'll see many play. Maybe you play it with Embiggen in a kind of big Druid deck? But I don't think it'll be played. It's a good arena card though.

    The card seems good in paper but in reality not so, it has anti-synergy with itself since it seems to be oriented for some kind of tempo Druid, but again when quest completed in a tempo build you can get extremely lowrolled

    I don't think Spells that summon minions count. But Big Druid is indeed a very interesting concept. Summon a 10 mana minion, get another 10 mana minion for free because of the sidequest. This might be viable with some sort of Dragon core and cards like Breath of Dreams which ramps.

    This card fits into big Druid, but the big archetype was never viable for Druid.

    Since most dragons have battlecries, you rather don't want to use this card in Dragon Druid.

    I like this one! A good tool for some kind of big druid which might see play if there will be such deck on ladder. This quest is pretty easy to complete if there is enough time.  Will definitely try this in Wild.

    It looks like an easy to complete quest, but it requires you to play "big druid". I don't see many support cards for that archetype after nerfs to wild growth and nourish. The Breath of Dreams cards can help, but more support may be needed.

    It seems a card that wants to be played in a big druid.

    The problem with this sidequest is that if you want to complete it early you have to play small minions in your deck too, but they can be recruited instead of a big minion and make the pay off not worth it.

    In an only big minions deck is hard to complete the quest early, and will be complete in a point of the game where you are already playing those big minions.

    I don't believe it will see much play

    Will this also trigger the battlecry of the minion (if any)? If so, this is a pretty nice card. If not, it could really mass up with your game.

    The rng makes this awful for me. Even if you get a big guy out from your deck, you have to build the deck around this card. And full of big minions, you cant activate the sidequest soon enough.

    Never netdeck, craft Whizbang instead!

    Potentially huge upside, letting you summon a big thing early by playing a few medium sized minions in the midgame. Or in the lategame it lets you double up on big guys by playing a 10-cost minion and yanking out another huge minion onto the board.

    It's not that big druid wasn't a good deck, but Yasha'rash and other big guys were key for the deck. We dont have enough big minions worth of this deck right now.

    This needs dedicated deck, filled with big minions. You can't get early mana cheat, because you need to summon those expensive minions in the first place. With that in mind, it's useless if you get it early, when you have to defend yourself. Also wastes battlecry of a minion it summons.

    I think it's really bad.

    Pretty meh, honestly. Even if you play it early, the reward shouldn't come until turn 6-7, making it very answerable.

    I don't think this is so bad, you can have a big minion druid deck and use this a recruit, even if you don't get a dragon battlecry, dragons that will be in this deck will be really big.

    There is an inherent counter-synergy between this card's condition and payoff which sinks the card for me. At the earliest, you can get this card online by turn 4 (Coin 3-drop, 3-drop, 4-drop), which would be fine, but that requires you to stuff your deck full of inexpensive minions in order to curve out... netting you a statistically mediocre minion summoned from your deck.

     

    Meanwhile, if you go for big minions, there's no way you can complete the quest before you could feasibly play whatever it you're summoning from the deck anyway. At best you get to summon two big dudes for the price of one somewhere in the later stages of the game, when that tempo advantage is a lot more likely to get dealt with by mass removal.

     

    If this worked with spells, you could easily build a deck with mostly spells and a handful of big dudes to capitalise on Strength in Numbers, but as it stands the card is its own worst enemy.

    Actually have to reevaluate this. Could be very useful in an Embiggen-big Beast/Dragon type of deck where you want to cheat out your big minions as to not get punished by the mana increase.

    Summonin an 11/11 Oondasta from your deck that then summons another big beater from your hand doesn't sound so bad

    I tried having fun once.

    It was awful.

    Looks interesting, but it's probably too messy to be usable. The bast way to trigger it early is to play many cheaper minions, but that means the reward is worse.

    A very interesting card. The condition is pretty easy to fulflil, especially if you're playing a midrange or control deck. But the fact that the reward is summoning a minion from your deck creates a challenge for deck-building. What minion would it benefit you to be 'cheated out'? And how could you build your deck/adapt your play-style to ensure that the minion you want to be summoned from your deck is picked?

    Only deck that can think about this is big druid, and even in here is it very unreliable. Highroll in its true form.

    If this is in your opening hand, and you curve out maximum mana spent per turn, the earliest this could activate is turn 5 after spending 1 mana. But if you play so many 1 and 2 mana minions to get the mana effectively, how good is another random minion?

    I could see it being absolutely killer in a Malygos deck, though.

    One of the weak sidequests, it may fit some combo deck but in my opinion there is no great minions to summon in this way at the moment
