    It doesn'T really fit into any current archetypes....at least not easily.

    Quest Druid could use it with Nourish to get 3 cards and be left with 2-mana to cast 2 more spells, but in order to even get there you probably used your first Nourish already, and even then the spells you actually get to play are at best HIdden Oasis and Starfall, which are, at best, situational.

    MAybe we'll get some more big spells, but even then...Quest Druid already has enough lategame bombs, what they'd really need is better early game tools, which of course they won'T receive because then they'D have no weaknesses  otherwise.

     

     

    I tried having fun once.

    It was awful.

    In Wild, this thing is the nuts.

    Right not, there's really only overflow that has a painful casting cost.

    But "spell" druid looks to be a thing we are heading towards with fungal fortunes, so I wouldn't be surprised if we see a big spell or two coming for Druid.

    Well, you can't combo it with Innervate, which limits its Potential a lot. You can, however, make it cheaper through Imprisoned Satyr.

    But even if, what would the Combo be? And would it be better than just playing Maly-Druid?

    Whether or not this works in Standard, this feels like yet another BS enabler in Wild. I'd be less mad if those decks didn't cost so much. The price of power is steep

    Powerful card but i'm not sure it has synergies right now.  It can do some super powerful things in quest druid but very much a win more card.  We'll have to see what else they drop for duird.

    Perfect for some kind of wacky OTK druid, but that could only possibly be good in a really slow meta. Still, with cards like Malygos, Kael'thas Sunstrider and Jepetto Joybuzz, you could possibly pump out a huuuuuge amount of damage while cycling through your entire deck.

    Those type of cards are making sure that deckbrewers have some fun as well. The potential of this one is not that obvious, but never underestimate mana cheating in any way possible - someone will make something work with this card. Not sure what exactly right now - or it may have to even wait 1-2 expansions to get there.

    I like it. I've liked Aviana too in the past.

    I can't see this card yet (in Standard), but maybe after some more cards are revealed for Druid

    Great card for wild. Probably not so strong in standard, because Druid doesn't have enough expensive spells at the moment. There is potential for some whacky combos, but i doubt that this card will find it's spot in a tier 1 deck.

    Quite probably, but also likely that in time, someone will find a way to abuse this.
    One Imprisoned Satyr tic on Ysiel Windsinger followed by Nourish could free up enough mana for something interesting.... but Maly may still be superior, depending on what else gets printed

    Seems like a weak card considering we already got Kael'thas Sunstrider But i do see some combo potential.

    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.

    This probably won't see play right now but one day they will print a spell kun for some reason.. maybe.. IDK I think it's a meme for now.

    Will find a home in a OTK that will break the game. Maybe not right away, but eventually this will end up getting nerfed just like Aviana.

    This was probably planned for some Exodia type deck for druid..but from past experience aggro will crush the crap out of this.

    Druid has only a few damage-spells, which almost always have to be combo'd with Malygos. So this must work as a tempo or value generation tool? It might make a broken combo oneday, but today won't be this day.

    There will be that one Trolden clip where someone tries to combo this card with Malygos and tries to use 2 Moonfire cards on zero mana

    The Druid didn't receive a single spell that they'd want to combo Ysiel Windsinger with in this expansion, so I'm really confused as-to why she exists right now. For Wild purposes only? *shrugs*

    I don't think this card will be as bad as Aviana because unlike Aviana, there is no spell that says "spell damage +5" or anything like that to make a combo deck happen. You could play this card alongside things like Nourish or Biology Project to easily ramp up extra mana, and then you may be able to combo that with some series of spells to deal a lot of damage, but there is no way you could assemble a combo with only spells that would be as bad as some previous Druid combos were.

    Carrion, my wayward grub.

    It's fun for some weird Malygos Kael'thas Sunstrider OTK shenanigans, but I don't see it becoming a viable card unless druid gets some really strong high-cost spells like Ultimate Infestation.

    Nice card that might enable some combos, especially in wild where things are just... wild!

    I hope this card will not enable some OTK

    The only way this could really work is if you use Nourish and Biology Project to get some more mana, then you throw out some UIs and Overflows. Very likely worse than Kael'thas, but maybe as your second (and third with the potentially super strong following floop) Kael this could lend lategame to Kael burst decks that fail in the first wave of spells.

    This post is discussing the wild format.

    This is a much stronger card in wild.  Either she was a mistake to print, or they have some strong Druid spells coming in the next couple of expansion.  As is, not a great Standard card come April 7, 2020.

    Quick!  Someone give me something clever to write here.

    There's going to be a decklist that lets you discount this lady, and then you go off with big spells like Starfire, starfall and hidden oasis to clear and stabilize the board. 

    Heck in wild you can use Aviana, Kun, Malygos and Ysiel to use Swipes, Starfire and moon fire for an OTK

    I believe some cards related to this card will see nerf in future and then they unnerf them when it goes to wild.

    Typical Blizzard card tho.

    Doesn’t look that good, doubt it’ll see play until it eventually becomes part of some OTK and then gets nerfed.

    Who needs consistency when you could have fun?

    OTK memes in wild aside, doesn't Kael'tas to this card's job better?

    This legendary has literally antisynergy with other cards from the same set (Bogbeam and Ironbark). No support coming with it means it's another tool for wild memes and combo decks for now. Probably is gonna be a part of a future combo in standard too.

    Until the expansion where it becomes good.

    Too good.

    Hmmmm another Aviana? Hmmmm. Play aviana down. Gain one mana crystal for the turn. Play kun the king down to refresh your mana crystals. Play down this card. Get more mana and play malygos and kaelthalas and big spells that draw you cards. GAME OVER!!

    Anyone else thinks Ysiel should read "Your spells cannot cost more than (1)" ?

    Because as it is it looks very difficult to get value out of it.

    I think it is fine as it is; it just had the misfortune of being in the same set as Kael'thas Sunstrider, which is easier to use in a class that has lots of expensive and super cheap spells. I guess Ysiel doesn't require cheap spells in your deck so it has a place in different decks that way, but I admit I have struggled to find a place for her.

    As it stands, she's a lot like Aviana was back in TGT before MSoG gave us Kun: she's fine as long as you get 1 big spell with her as she's basically a cheap 5/5 who's scary to leave up, but not enough to make a high tier deck out of.
