I'm having a hard time coming up with what to do with this card.
on the outside it appears to be a combo enabler with say...malygos but then you'd need to discount malygos enough to utilize this and a spell for finish or stabalize...
a different take on poisonous effect..a 1 mana kind of sheep but keep in mind..once you turn your opponent's minion into one they can do the same to you..so double edged sword
Artifact had a lot of problems and Valve agreed. The game did become unplayable for $20 since no one was playing the game. Investing time into games that don't have any players makes for poor value.
I'm looking forward to their future announcements on the game to see if it is worth a shot at again. Unique gameplay was good, accessibility to the game itself not so much. If you want to succeed in the space, you've already got the titans you have to match or exceed.
People not playing a game doesnt make it unplayable.... people didnt play battleborn on release not because it was a bad game, not. because it was broken in release but because people circle jerked about it being an overwatch clone, the same thing happened to artifact. Twitch streamers said it was bad because their hearthstone audience didnt want to see it so their viewers dropped and when they asked why they stopped playing it they said it was bad instead of saying they wouldn't make as much money playing it as hearthstone or other games...
What is the win condition of spell druid? Or maybe it should be spell-heavy druid? Idk about this card. Solid for its purpose, but the deck might be not exist yet.
sick card that supports board clear or when you are at disadvantage in damage. But keeping a copy or 2 of this in your deck just for the purpose of countering a disadvantageous board seems a little meme
Quite decent card, especially since its body is big enough even without the effect. Not strong enough to carry a secret rogue archetype by itself, but it will see play because Blackjack Stunner is just extremely busted.
Wyrmrest Agent is slightly outdone by this, I think. A good tempo play against decks like pirate warrior, and the lifesteal lends it some value in the late game. Likely sees play in midrange priest decks that run dragon synergy. Control decks would probably prefer cards that can wipe the board like Spirit Lash.
at a glance this card doesn't seem all that great, but thinking back on token druid lists this spell may have a home since most of the token generation from druid comes from spells.
If you generate more than 3 glowflies this becomes a better Force of Nature, although they'll miss the treant tribal tag.
New Demon Hunter Minion - Kayn Sunfury
5/5 this card is soooo powerful, it is just insane. Charge is op, and not caring about taunts is too!
New Druid Spell - Ironbark
a free mana spell will always see play if you need to cycle something.
even then it's 2 mana cost isn't terrible
New Druid Spell - Overgrowth
If aggro doesn't run us over, this will be a good card.
New Druid Spell - Bogbeam
Spell-heavy deck maybe? I think we need more expansion.
New Druid Spell - Fungal Fortunes
This is just the book of specters but opposite.
Is a spell only druid viable? perhaps, but it'd have to be an untapped potential deck....
New Neutral Minion - Dragonmaw Sky Stalker
another decent card for arena..but for standard there are better cards with better deathrattle effects that can out play this
New Druid Minion - Imprisoned Satyr
As long as druid can survive the early game, this card will often makes the cut.
New Druid Spell - Germination
I'm having a hard time coming up with what to do with this card.
on the outside it appears to be a combo enabler with say...malygos but then you'd need to discount malygos enough to utilize this and a spell for finish or stabalize...
New Rogue Spell - Ambush
The weakest out of all the rogue secrets, it will probably see play at the beginning of the expansion but will then be phased out for better cards.
New Neutral Minion - Bonechewer Vanguard
feels like an arena card that will never see day light in standard. too costly for a counteractive effect..
New Rogue Spell - Bamboozle
Strong secret that is very hard to play around. Not worth playing on its own, but definitely worth playing for Blackjack Stunner.
New Neutral Minion - Supreme Abyssal
filler card seems like you can only taunt it up and act like a wall..otherwise you have to play silence priest to make this work
New Druid Spell - Ironbark
If you want to ramp, wont you be playing a high cost card? Idk man, i still dont see a deck for this. Maybe nomi druid..?
New Neutral Minion - Infectious Sporeling
a different take on poisonous effect..a 1 mana kind of sheep but keep in mind..once you turn your opponent's minion into one they can do the same to you..so double edged sword

New Neutral Minion - Blistering Rot
buff pally kind of card which can potentially be really deadly when buffed right
New Rogue Minion - Greyheart Sage
You really see that Blizzard wants to push the Stealth Rogue archetype. Ashtongue Slayer gives it tempo, this gives it value. Very good card.
New Neutral Minion - Scrapyard Colossus
this is a good card in embi druid but other than that its a bit clunky to play in most decks.
New Neutral Minion - Mo'arg Artificer
sick card that supports board clear or when you are at disadvantage in damage. But keeping a copy or 2 of this in your deck just for the purpose of countering a disadvantageous board seems a little meme
New Druid Spell - Germination
We can use it on Embiggen Druid too, right. Value for only 4 mana. Still susceptible to board-clear, though.
New Rogue Minion - Shadowjeweler Hanar
Quite decent card, especially since its body is big enough even without the effect. Not strong enough to carry a secret rogue archetype by itself, but it will see play because Blackjack Stunner is just extremely busted.
New Priest Minion - Dragonmaw Sentinel
Wyrmrest Agent is slightly outdone by this, I think. A good tempo play against decks like pirate warrior, and the lifesteal lends it some value in the late game. Likely sees play in midrange priest decks that run dragon synergy. Control decks would probably prefer cards that can wipe the board like Spirit Lash.
New Neutral Minion - Replicat-o-tron
would be good in a buff pally deck when you turn a 1/1 into a buffed robot of death..hope to see some play in this card
