Seems appropriate with the current state of the world.
On a more serious note, this is a better Molten Reflection in a class that just got a ton of combo support and mana cost reductions. Will see play in some wacky combo for sure.
I'll boop you
Sure, whatever, I guess they're going to reprint [Hearthstone Card (Molten Reflections) Not Found] for as many classes as possible. I don't really see which deck would actually use this outside of it being a better Faceless for combos, other than that I see no real point.
Potentially there are some interesting combos with Imprisoned Satyr (especially because you can eliminate the possibility of accidentally hitting Faceless with it) but even then, it's just going to be the same nonsense we've had time and time again: draw entire deck, discount Malygos, melt face. Couldn't they at least print a different OTk for once? Gonk could have worked, but he'S gone now.
I tried having fun once.
It was awful.
Druid uses this better than Warlock does.
Good for replicating Lucentbark.
Unfortunately he is still very weak to Plague of Death, or just any old Silence effect.
Druid's big Minions cost too much to play them and cast this and the small Minions aren't worth copying. Combo seems to be the only way to make this work.
And so far, the Combo looks very unspectacular and slow.

Copying some specific minions like the Prime predecessor (the small shroom guy) or the neutral deathrattle legendary that spits out your minions buffed or your combo enabler will be really nice for a variety of druid decks in my opinion. It is nice to have that option now, when Floop rotates out for example.

This card might be stronger than it looks on first sight. I'm curious for some of the new Druid minions.
This card could replace Flobbidinous Floop in Malygos Druid. It could also fit into some kind of big druid, even though such a deck does not exist in standard at the moment.
One word - that isn't really one : Abusable
Struggle with Heroic Galakrond's Awakening? I got your back :
This will see play for sure. Molten reflection saw lots of play, albeit in a very different type of deck, and this has the added Taunt bonus.

Combo Druid. Replaces Floop, and will probably be used in some kinda Malygos 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.
Seems like it could see play mostly in combo decks, don't see this as a tempo tool..
just like Molten Reflection
Interesting card with potential to be a variety of decks.
Side note: A little disappointed by the golden animation. I feel they could have gone a little further with the art.
Kind of situational but if used at a right time you can setup some nasty wall for opponent to break through.
I don't want to see this as a Combo card, but I can't really think of a reason why a non-Combo player would run it. It's disappointing, but maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised.
This card will rise and fall depending on what there is to copy. It may be used in some combo decks with Malygos, or it may simply be used in a Big Druid deck that wants to make a lot of stats for 4 mana.
I am not sure exactly how this card will be played, but it will be played somewhere.
Carrion, my wayward grub.
This will see play in Malygos Imprisoned Satyr OTK decks, and probably nothing else. Will that deck be good? Probably not.
Good card. Can be used in a big druid to copy big minion, a combo to set up lethal, and midrange/token to threaten the enemy and defend your minion
Druids get Molten Reflection now. Worse than floop nearly always unless you needed the stats. Molten reflection is mostly used to copy giants before a time warp or apprentices to set up antonidas. a lot of druid's combo wincons, currently, either do not benefit from being copied, z.B. Aviana, Kael, or are played to die to set up a floop version, z.B Malygos. Some versions of malygos with dreampetal might use this with swipe + 2 moonfire for lethal, but given that malygos>germination>2moonfire+swipe is the same number of cards as the also lethal malygos>2moonfire+2swipe, they would likely not add more cards that are useless outside of the combo.
This post is discussing the wild format.
First Maly has to survive on board, or have it's cost reduced... or be summoned through the Sidequest being completed. Because you can't play Maly at 9 and this at 4 in the same turn. Unless you Frizz while Maly is in the deck and then later play Maly at 7, Innervate, and this. But then you better have an opponent at 22 or less and have two Moonfire's in hand!
Quick! Someone give me something clever to write here.
Might be played in some wacky wild decks, but standard will be ruled by stats.
We can use it on Embiggen Druid too, right. Value for only 4 mana. Still susceptible to board-clear, though.
I'm having a hard time coming up with what to do with this card.
on the outside it appears to be a combo enabler with say...malygos but then you'd need to discount malygos enough to utilize this and a spell for finish or stabalize...
I really don't like cards that is better version in another class.
There are millions of different posibilities to make interesting spells/effects which you can easily see in any custom card forum but they are still reprinting cards..
Unpopular Opinion Incarnate
A combo card and that’s pretty much it, not too many cards you’d really want to copy with it unless the game was really slow for awhile
Who needs consistency when you could have fun?
Very versatile tool, as it can be used both for defense and offense. Malygos OTK comes to mind.
Seeing as how Druids have a much easier time slapping big boys out than Mage, simply comparing it as another Molten Reflection seems a bit less appropriate. It's much more suited for this class, so if the meta is right, we could just see Druids run two of these as a win more card.
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
WIth so many elusive minions on meta, I don't think this is viable outside some combo deck.
Still, combo decks always worked good even without faceless, don´t think it needs this.
This is a solid card, it is like the mage’s one, just with taunt. This will be good, with possible combos.
Being Molten Reflection plus taunt is okay, but cards like these tend to be win more cards, hence why Molten Reflection only saw competitive play in Exodia Mage.
For glory, honor, and gold!
