This just seems like a 5 star card all around.  The fact that if you get this early game, you get a deathrattle minion that could help you and if you do it mid-late game you get a double dose of the deathrattle, is just awesome.  Not broken, but definitely amazing

Its more consequential than you think. Will you wait a turn, or go for a 6/6 and a 10 drop on 8? If you do go for PP then you potentially lose that free +4+4 to all minions.

Also, you're basically playing an 8 mana 5/5 do nothing on turn 8 instead of something that can put two minions, big minions, immediately.

Looking forward to the crazy combos people use this for in wild. Can't wait.

If this card is ever in the meta it will be insane. Even if it isn't good it will be very fun to play.

This makes my delicate sensibilities hurt

Yay more op highroll...

An 8 mana 5/5 that draws/plays 3 spells. I’m not sure what you would want to run this in. The only cards that really benefit from this are Cenarian Ward and the C’thun pieces, which will probably help to be an alternative for Gadgetzan Auctioneer in the meme Miracle Druid build.

In a Survival Druid, there are probably too many minions to reliably play this and you want to control when you play Survival of the Fittest so to corrupt your clowns.

I’m waiting for the quest, so these are my initial impressions based on the current decklists.

For 6 mana you want to do more to the board then summon some 1/1s.

The +4/+4 buff is nice, but your board will be full when you play this making it awkward to fit them in. And even then you might spend 8 mana on a pair of 5/5s which isn't spectacular. 

The only way this works is if you either really really want swarm, or you play it on an already full board so that you can afford to spend 6 mana on minimal impact this turn, so that you have access to a legion of 5/5s on later turns. The second scenario likely won't happen. But the first one might if blizzard pushes the swarm thing hunter has going on with all of the hyenas in the forged in the barrens set.

damn you float 1 mana... too bad you get an 8 mana 10/10 +a 10 drop for just 8 mana, but floating 1 mana is such big downside

Great design, good to see somethign different like this for Hunter. As stated b4 me, this could fill the board, but really you'd want to try get some value out of it and get a few 5/5s in hand. Hopefully something comes up to help counter agro hunter, and hunter can get a viable midrange build.

Giving rush feels a bit weird since you will have to summon the minion and still have 4 mana left over, which means you will be playing a 1-drop on turn 5, or a 3 drop on turn 8. But the reward is very powerful. Instant impact with multiple target removal.

I so like the rush though since it fixes a big problem with buff cards which is that they help you reinforce your board, but aren't useful if you don't have a board established. Since this gives rush it is always going to be impactful.

Oh look, its yet another mana cheating card for druid. How nice.

Fairly obvious you'd want this to cast big spells like Survival of the Fittest, but since druid typically run plenty of cheap spells as well, it won't be easy getting this one to actually do what its supposed to do. Oh well, at very worst it'll draw you three cards, once for every spell it casts for free.

You can guarantee survival of the fittest with Primordial Protector, but mercifully this card doesn't curve into that.

First you have to play 7 cards in a specific order, which is a lot and will take some time. Then you get to shuffle a card into your deck which must then bed drawn again, which will take even more time. Then you just win.

It seems too slow to work, and really unfun when it does. People don't generally like solitaire combo decks, but this really takes the cake.

That is a cool battlecry. 

yeah I thought about it... you probably still run ramp... and sometimes your ramp just turns into 0 mana draw 2 with this guy, which isn't the end of the world

Primordial protector can be super good with this card.  Actually makes me shudder thinking about this into primordial protector into survival into strongman strongman.

Not really. I would rather put this guy as soon as possible rather than wait for the long game so it can be a guaranteed value since this card is pretty much 8 mana do nothing the turn you play it.

Interesting card that will probably only see play as a discovered option from Wandmaker or as a card that is shoved into shadow Priest to make it work. The effect, while strong, is very inconsistent and requires you to reach turns 9-10 to get maximum value. 

The variance is just way too large in the deathrattle minion pool to warrant running this card, and Priest doesn’t necessarily need more late game value to win, considering they have that abominable quest. Against aggro, this will mostly be a dead card and maybe you could do something cheeky with it like discovering a Deathsworn Cultist and restoring 4 health

Yes that is a drawback for sure but most of the time you are using your mulligan to look for Wild Growth and Overgrowth. 

Seems like Greedy Grinner is not that far from reality after all.

you want to cheat out something like Survival of the Fittest with it. Guardian Animals and Cenarion Ward are fine too

A very useful card. Giving a minion rush which also summons another rush minion is incredibly good removal.
