That is pretty much Moonglade Portal just a bit weaker since it comes two turns later. It is a bit more flexible since it gives armor rather than health.  I don't think it will see much play

Edit: This becomes much stronger with Solar Eclipse. That might see some play

This thing is just pure evil.

Not really sold as yet on this card. Its just a big card with a big effect, but druid usually want to either play Guardian Animals or Exotic Mountseller with a bunch of cheap spells.

Don't think this card will change that, but there may yet be more support for a big spell druid down the line.

Looks like Kael'thas Sunstrider fuel, but Survival of the Fittest is sightly better target.

Even so, it's a good card, 8 armor + 8 drop for 8 mana is "okish".

Inconsistent Libram of Hope for Druids. Even if it doesn't generate a good minion consistently, it's still a pretty decent card.

Dr. 8.

Moonglade Portal

Its basically Libram of Hope in druid.

Can't wait to see those Solar Eclipses that gains 16 health and 2 massive minions. Oh, and it will happen around turn 6.

Might be more support for big spell druid later down the line, cause' the current broken play is a bunch of small spells along with cards like Exotic Mountseller and Ysera, Unleashed for the extra value

Good offensive and defensive card. Will see play for sure.

Solid card for Totem Shaman. Copying this with Totemic Reflection could be a major headache for opponents. The effect isn't that overpowered because it's not a blanket effect for the rest of the game, but having this survive for one turn and give all totems you have with +1/+1 will be huge nonetheless. 

Armor Druid is back Pog

I'm very glad that it's 3 mana, and thus cannot be included into even shaman decks in Wild.

Finally a legendary totem! This card will also be great in duels as the current HP for shaman wouldn't suck anymore (after blizz nerfed the shizz out of it).

I'm keen to see the impact this would have in the current totem shaman archetype, might push the deck into Tier 2 if we lucky. Bare in mind this is only the 2nd Shaman card we've seen for this expansion, so we might get more support. Here's hoping

Only after the game is 6 years old. Better late than never

EVIL Totem and Totem Goliath, together with Splitting Axe and Totemic Reflection though.

ANOTHER GNOLL TO MY COLLECTION

Totemic reflection on it would be +2/+2 per tick plus making 2 3/7 totems

If that's the case this could be a huge roll if you manage to get a few totems in your hand/deck

Thank you for this exchange of opinions. It is interesting that players have different views on lore/gameplay etc. and we can talk about our views :)

No problem. That's what these forums are for more than anything else. I kind of wish everyone who disagreed with me left a comment rather than (just) a down-vote. There's a lot both sides can learn from discussion that simply doesn't exist with an anonymous and unexplained down-vote.

As a final note on recycled characters, I completely agree that it leads to a bit of a disconnect from the fantasy of commanding a little army of characters. In practice however that fantasy is nearly always thrown out the window in favour for win rates anyway. Take something as simple as using SI:7 Agent in Lackey rogue. It makes good sense mechanically but why would the SI:7 be helping the League of EVIL? They wouldn't, and that's surely just as wrong as having the same character appear twice.

Totem Goliath,  EVIL Totem and Trick Totem

Well, at least this is randomness that won't power Quest Mage even higher than it already is. Hopefully. Stranger things have happened.

Thank you for such a useful clarification about something that was not the point of my argument!
