I can't get over how bad and uninspired this is. It's worse than a Flesh Giant, you can only run one copy in your deck, and it's only got 6 health which is just too low in Hearthstone's rush era even if you cheat it out early. It also dies to an outcasted Kurtrus, so I guess what it's got going for it is its flavor...
Its like Mogu Cultist, except conceivably worse, not merely because of the inferior reward compared to Highkeeper Ra but also because there is the chance of a coin ooze coming out. And since combo decks are wholly reliant on the combo to win, even with 2 mana its likely the opponent can still scrap a win out.
The problem with this card ranges from actually manufacturing more boars out, the boars getting silenced, and the fact that your opponent can activate the combo for you and subsequently destroying the weapon before you even get a swing out. The only way this card gets overpowered (and subsequently nerfed because team5 have stated before they prefer stuff like this to be available but low powered) is that you can consistently get it done early enough with tutor cards before your opponent builds a huge board.
But of course Im wasting everyone's time with this review. Its a fun card. Fact of the matter is that its going to be played regardless of its viability anyway and much like mogu cultist, its not really going to get anywhere.
Hi im kinda new to LoR so maybe Im missing something. I just played a match against a Freljord/Shadow Isle deck that was running The Howling abyss card. Now my understanding is it only summons level 2 champs? Whicch would explain the Teemo and Elise. However he also put an Aurilion Sol and Nautilus on the board. I went through every card from Freljord and Shadowisle but i cant figure out how he did that.
Im not sure what you're suggesting but if the idea is for living seed to tutor out the boars, then that's fine, but you still need to draw out the oracles and the broom or pray hard there's no silence or ooze.
Druid doesn't really maintain tempo all that well, and to use living seed to draw a card that can't be used for tempo isn't really going to help. Im not saying that the combo is impossible, but even a midrange deck is more than capable of taking down a druid that doesn't do anything for 4 turns or more.
I ought to also mention in my original post that there is another problem with this combo; the boars have to die, and die on your turn or your weapon won't be swinging most of the time. So an effective counter is to simply not have a minion with more than 6 health on board and the combo gets effectively countered.
Nope. Still six. Both oracle only summons 1 copy of boar. (2+1) *2 times. You could however add Shando Wildclaw to play the 7th.
Here's a better one.
Discount both Elwynn Boar to 0. (Living Seed or Fangborn Druid) On turn 10, play both Oracle, play 1 Boar, then Broom. (trade 3x Boar with enemy) then play another Boar, then coins/innervate Wildclaw into Boar, then Broom. (trade 4x boar with enemy).
I don't know how important card commenting is right now, but here goes. This looks like amazing support for token druid. If this sticks past turn two, it will be game over with a gibblerling in play. I guess it remains to be seen if that play can hold out.
Hmmm... I don't think this fits in the existing token druid builds. This triggers on minions which token druid only has 2 of (Gibberlings). In addition, this will get discarded by fungal fortunes.
This needs a new token deck or maybe as a support card for ramp druid. It can double small taunts after ramping.
Had this card existed in any other class it would have been one of the most OP cards in this expansion. But it exist in druid, where the general idea is not to play small stuff but to ramp the shit off and cheat incredible amounts of mana.
That said, this card easily slots into the current taunt/menagerie druid that its guaranteed to see play at some point. Put simply, you can just play this and Razormane Battleguard on 5 into another 4 mana taunt. And if it works as I think it would, the oracle will summon another copy of that 4 mana taunt too.
Outside of that, there's is a small potential for combo with Elwynn Boar, but druid's card draw isn't what it used to be and couple that with the fact that druid cant maintain tempo too well its nearly never going to work, needing 5 cards for the combo to succeed, and even if you can assemble the sword out you're still not necessarily going to roll out a win, since the sword doesnt deal with the board at all. And if your opponent started with the coin, its only an ooze away from destroying your win condition.

Good point. Cards whose cost you can reduce are going to be best with this. I think the best card to combo with this will be strong man.

Jungle Giants
Or cards like Umbral Owl

New Druid Card Revealed for United in Stormwind by Tesdey - Oracle of Elune
Oh yeah it six idk what I was thinking
Welp Rogue and Priest it is. Definitely possible with Druid but takes way too much.
Maybe there will be some more cards to help do the combo in druid or other classes
New Neutral Minion - Elwynn Boar
Just to be certain, this does not work with Mok'Nathal Lion or Vectus, right?
Copying the DR does not work, that specific minion needs to die 7 times, right?
Bug with howling abyss?

Total 11 mana.
Any suggestion is welcomed
New Druid Spell - Kodo Mount
Very good for a token deck with very cheap minions, it grant a kill and leave a 4/2. Can be easily a board clear.
New Druid Minion - Oracle of Elune
A delayed token sinergy but very powerful on turn 5 and Murloc Tinyfin, Desk Imp, Wisp with Power of the Wild
New Druid Card Revealed for United in Stormwind by Tesdey - Oracle of Elune
Do we know if this works with discounted cards? Say with Aviana in wild?
New Druid Card Revealed for United in Stormwind by Tesdey - Oracle of Elune
Living Seed (Rank 2)
New Druid Minion - Sheldras Moontree
A very insane combo if you manage to play with Survival of the Fittest and Primordial Protector
New Druid Card Revealed for United in Stormwind by Tesdey - Oracle of Elune
It would be 8...you play both oracles then play the boar then broom stick then you play the 2nd board and hope they don't get silenced.
New Demon Hunter Minion - Jace Darkweaver
Wow, that's very strong, can give you like 6 attack, but the best outcome is casting Metamorphosis again

New Druid Card Revealed for United in Stormwind by Tesdey - Oracle of Elune
That seems like only 6 boars being summoned. Where are you getting the 7th?
New Druid Minion - Oracle of Elune
Its good, and will see play.
Why wouldn't it be? It doubles minions out, which can range from the scary Razormane Battleguard to the annoying Annoy-o-Tron
Oracle of Elune
Hopefully Tidus doesn't barge in on her.
Anetheron
Why can't I hold all these cards?!?

New Druid Card Revealed for United in Stormwind by Tesdey - Oracle of Elune
Oracle of Elune + Oracle of Elune + Elwynn Boar + Animated Broomstick
Kill all the boars assuming the enemy has enough stats on board to do so.
Then play the next Elwynn Boar to summon Sword of a Thousand Truths
Which would be a 9 mana 5 card combo not too bad. Okay it's pretty bad.
This is probably the not so good version of this combo but it is possible.
New Druid Minion - Oracle of Elune
Elwynn Boar shenanigans. Not sure if this sees play elsewhere. It might in Celestial Druid if it's mana spent, not card cost.
New Druid Card Revealed for United in Stormwind by Tesdey - Oracle of Elune
My first thought was razormane battle guard as well.
or the new boar haha
