this card is nuts and stupidly broken with the coin.  it needs some build around because you won't be playing targeted removal, but I think both classes are capable of doing that even if it's not the optimal deck.

Buff paladin should be a thing and thats where I expect this to shine.  you can even highroll Libram of Hope if you're playing a deck with it and you might have cheap activators with the reduced libram buff.  

People are saying you can't run AOE but I don't see why.  A 'free' consecration/holy nova is still good.

Buff/Cube priest can also be a thing.  Priest will suffer much more than paladin from lack of targeted removal but they can run more removal on a stick (the new card and maybe even the 4/4 dragon)

Kun 2: electric boogaloo.

on a more serious note, Druid doesn’t need help for combos in wild. This just makes the deck more consistent

wow, what the hell. Well, bye bye Kun the Forgotten King . (khe khe, you will never be forgotten Kappa)

Cool card.  Not just for a big combo style deck but any deck that is playing cheap spells can run this.  if you're going to play a cheap spell then you can basically just play this for free.  

I remember that one time I made a 26-attack 7-health Bolvar Fordragon and played Faceless Manipulator on it to get a second one ... only to lose a couple of turns later.  Well now I can have 3 of them instead of 2 and still lose!  Playing this alongside Lynessa Sunsorrow will be fun for the memes. 

The only deck I see this being run in is one that includes Dark Conviction, Subdue, or Humility plus their minion equivalents.  All other Paladin removal spells have negative synergy with Argent Braggart.

wtf?

1-Mana-Druids in Wild will probably try this for a Week or so, only to find out that they don't really need this Card. Like, You have full Mana, and all of your Stuff costs 1, why would you need this Guy? This seems like a win more Card for this Kind of Deck to me.

Standard looks a bit different. Maybe some midrange-y Style of Deck? T6, this Guy, then Innervate into someting. Alternatively: t7, this and Bogbeam/Ironbark. 

Brrrrrrroken!

for it's cost this minions stats are pretty modest. 

HOWEVER - REFRESHING YOUR MANA CRYSTALS IS PRETTY STRONG.

Druid historically loves to utilize their spells for either combos or to buff their minions.

In AoO Spell Druid adopted Exotic Mount Seller and Kael'Thas Sunstrider as their only minions, despite having  Ysiel who makes spells cost (1) mana as one of their class legendaries from the set. Ysiel saw no play as she was incredibly expensive, and Spell druid was using the reduced cost bogbeam and Ironbark spells to help Kael'Thas cast an expensive spell for free or Exotic Mount Seller to flood the board. Ysiel, despite her cost reduction was actually anti-synergy with the current plan for druids.

Omu however is a different story - while his stats are modest for his cost, being able to refresh your mana crystals to give you essentially an extra turn is a massive play. The World Twig from KaC was often used as this, and there's been times when an adventure was won with the Druid class because you refreshed your mana crystals in one form or another.

For Druids this means another way to pull off combos with Malygos. Forum member Trimutius has mentioned a combo with placing this minion on the board, refreshing your mana crystals, using Maiev Shadowsong on him so he's dormant and can't be interacted with, and once he's available you can slap Malygos down and use the standard moonfire, swipe, swipe, moonfire combo for lethal. Although you could also probably use germination in that combo if you had to use a swipe for board clear 

Ysiel may also see play with Omu, since they have a very, very soft synergy. You can play Omu, play say innervate, then play Ysiel, and then you can play high cost cards like Survivial of the fittest, making the two minions 9/8 and 9/9 respectively. But you'll probably want to discount them with Imprisoned Satyr or Jepetto Joybuzz to get the most of that combo 

if you target an 8/8 rattlegore, then the 1/1 version will summon a 7/7

Quote From SLima

I'm not that much of a Druid or Combo player so i struggle to see the potential combo implications of this. Without taking combos in consideration, this is pretty much a 0 mana 5/4 as it will refund its cost as long as you play a spell on the same turn. It will probably see play. It's probably mind blowing for combo players but i don't feel the excitement.

It not only refunds the cost of this minion but also of the spell that you play on the same turn to activate it. Could be 0 mana 5/4 + 0 mana swipe on turn 10.

MALYGODDDDDDD DRUID HERE WE COME!

Yeah imagine trying to make a deck that isn´t hard control

Not actually sure how much better this is than kun, given that aviana is usually a component of druid combos. Maybe this gives those decks a hit of consistency that they were needing. This is obviously good somewhere, but I don't exactly know where.

I mean...that's a card. Seems really easy to have a combo deck with this discounted with Imprisoned Satyr. 

Discount Forest Warden Omu to 1 mana or Malygos to 4 mana.

Turn 10, play Omu + Malygos + Moonfire x2 + Swipe x2 + for 30 damage. 

Not like Druids lack card draw. Seems like this could be a 5 star card for combo Druid.

Not sure if you run this in other versions of Druid. Big Druid doesn't want to play a 6 mana 5/4 (would be great to get off Strength in Numbers to reset your mana but that seems to be niche use). Spell Druid could use it to reset mana with Exotic Mountseller but that deck already has enough mana due to the 0 cost spells to fill your board.

If you play this at t6 and cast the new [old] Innervate, you will get 8 extra mana or just 6?

By the way, a really good card.

Ysiel Windsinger exists. Imprisoned Satyr twice can discount either of the two. and you can basically play at least 11 spells (of any cost) in a single turn, which, while not necessarily giving you lethal can at least create a board so large that only Plague of Death can get rid of it.

I find it frustratingly amusing that people constantly ask for more attention in wild, and Blizzard basically does the polar opposite and gives up on wild more with every set.

Another combo card for Druid that’s probably gonna get nerfed somewhere down the line. 

Satyr is better because you're not required to play them both at the same time. Just play Satyr and make sure no other minions are in hand two turns later.

I don't know why they would print something like this, but screw it, it's combo time I guess.

I'd like to point out the very VERY concerning potential with Ysiel Windsinger. Basically all you need to do is have both in hand and playing two Invalid Deck ID. No matter how they land you are now able to get out both Ysiel at the same time, then play any spell and have 10-mana to cycle through your deck and play every high cost spell under the sun.

Now maybe that's not too scary right now but it basically improves every single high-cost spell they print until this year rotates from standard.

Sure, we don'T have a real OTK with this, but just think something as silly as The Forest's Aid + Soul of the Forest, + the 10-mana buff spell (or any other permanent buffs) while also cycling through your deck via Overflow.

We're talking about a 4-card base combo that allows you to get through your entire deck while being able to set it up throughout the game without too much of a tempo loss.

It’s hard to see this seeing that much play, given that Paladin already struggles enough against a big board, so having to go without the only real board clears they have is kind of a big deal

Shadow Word: Death can target It?

Can be played in an hypothecally tempo/Buff priest, but i don't have high hopes on that card.

I mean they have plenty of other 0 mana stuff like Bogbeam and Ironbark
