Ancients, they are sentient as the treants but are older, more intelligent and considered by night-elves to be godlike or demigods, making them a pillar of their society/religion.

Treants, on the other hand are primitive forms of the Ancients, smaller, weaker, and not as intelligent.

Apart from that, there isn't much lore in respect of the Ancients/Treants, but most likely they are like Ents and Huorns from Tolkien's mythology.

It's simple. Treants (in Hearthstone at least) are 2/2s (that may or may not carry an additional keyword) much like Silver Hand Recruits.

Ancients, while similar, are not the same, and in terms of gameplay mechanics don't count as Treant tokens.

I've never played WoW past the Lyadrin Driop, so I don't have any knowledge about the lore. But it seems to me that Treants essentially are meant to be living trees. As are Ancients.

So my question is: Is there any reason lorewise that cards like Ancient of Lore, Ancient of War, Forbidden Ancient, Ironwood Golem, the spawn from Hidden Oasis, Lucentbark, Splintergraft and Goru the Mightree are not considered as treants? (maybe even Volcanic Lumberer)

It just seems odd that these aren't effected by treant buffs. Especially as this might be the tipping point for Lucentbark Druid or Treant Druid to be viable... :/

[Salty Part] WHY THE HELL IS TREESPEAKER A TRANSFORM EFFECT???????? [/Salty Part]

Very meh tier expansion, at least for wild

Personally I've been playing Ramp Dragon Druid + Embiggen...

Lost 2/12 games! If you manage to get Embiggen a dragon and get early Breath of Dreams x2, you're set.

Strength in Numbers is crazy, pulling a 8/16 Ysera on turn 7-8 normally wins the game, plus Evasive Drakonid and Emerald Explorer are the perfect anti-smorc cards.

Of course none of it would be possible without and early Frizz Kindleroost, but with the rate of card drawing thanks to Breath and Big Ol' Whelp, it's curve city.

The only decks that represented a problem was Galakrond "Reborn" Priest and, funny enough, Big Hand Warlock.

But man it is awesome the ramping and embiggening on druid right now.

I tried my goofy meme Transmogrifier + Plot Twist Warlock deck and - hold onto your hats - a handful of random, unrelated Legendaries is not in fact actually good. The "combo" isn't all that hard to pull off though and definitely faster than just using Arch-Villain Rafaam. 

Galakrond Rogue has been okay - I've had some tough matches with really bad draws so a little early to really say. the ability to get multiple uses from Kronx Dragonhoof with all the bounce/double battlecry stuff in Rogue is definitely a strong play.

Dragon Paladin (Highlander or otherwise) is, as many expected, incredibly strong. 

I honestly thought Dragon Pally was going to be weak tbh. Does it have a win condition or does it just beat you to death with big bodies?

Beat you to death with big bodies combined with even more self-heals. There's just too many stats, especially if you get off even a single Dragon Speaker

Miracle Rogue looks threatening. Fought against one who emptied their deck with Myra's Unstable Element, refilled it with like 20 Malygos, drew four 0-cost Malygos via Galakrond's battlecry then proceeded to play Sinister Strike and Eviscerate for a total of 50+ face damage.

I have always been surprised this isn't explicitly said anywhere in the shop. Double clicking it has never been intuitive beyond something you inevitably try when you get frustrated at only getting 1 at a time.

I also felt that I had good drop rate for legendaries, but ended on seven legendaries in 117 packs...and I'm happy with that.

Also had to buy Sylvanas as well. :D

Hello,

I would love to have an option to select which game articles to be shown for me. Honestly I do not want to read something else besides Hearthstone. I would love to see the same function like on the the battlenet.app - to be able to chose which games I want to follow. It bothers me more than I would have expected.

Ditto, I share the same sentiment. Will be happy when it gets implemented.

I would really appreciate some comments, about the card choices, because I'm not so sure about fiendish rites and Dragonmaw Poacher.

I've been impressed by this card in wild. The weakness of midrange Hunter had traditionaly been coming back after losing the board. Not anymore. 

I run 2x spring paw, 2x diving gryphon, 2x desert spear and 2x faceless corrupter as my rush cards, along with 2x dire frenzy. Seems to be enough to reliably complete the Quest. 

Have been fiddling around with Quest Hunter by now.

Diving Gryphon is extremely valuable (as expected) and Veranus puts in some decent work as well (even if she is a bit clunky to get value from consistently)

Just to point out that he will expire come the next rotation of cards in the spring.  As he's very popular Blizzard might move him to standard permananlty, or they may just print a replacement.  

Had this one this morning, it was a lot of fun!

Whizbang has never been "good" on ladder but this time around I was just getting *demolished*.

I am in love with Treant Druid (Aggro Wild version): micro-synergies and anti-synergies with Garden Gnome, Aeroponics and Living Mana make it extremely exciting to play. And fairly good. 

Even Hunter feels meta-viable. I might include double Rat Trap.

Quest Mage improved, and might finally rise as anti-Control, having a slightly better Aggro matchup now.

Ancharrr may be better than i thought in Wild PW: maybe slower start, but literally explosive onslaught. It could seriously revive the deck, and i am tempted to craft it. 

These two things could actually weaken Secret Mage: they will be forced to choose between anti-Aggro and anti-Control builds. Players will still play it alot, until they find out it's not so straightforward anymore, and eventually drop in numbers towards a more varied meta... Or maybe not.

I am still trying to figure out a smart build for Embiggen and/or Breath of Dreams Druid, but i feel these archetypes are still too raw, and lack some serious support (ie consistency and/or some clear wincondition), especially in Wild. Delaying board development for raw stats just doesn't feel good enough. I can't even get past the theorycraft process.

Thank you for your reply. Glad that it is on the list, makes me really happy.

concept sketches for Sky Raider, or as I like to call it, "Babbling Pirate".

Feel like a missed opportunity here - I'd go with.. Babbling Hook! :)

I don't know what happened last night... last expansion I hit the pitty timer twice with 85 packs. Yesterday was just insane.

Ah ok, then I guess Wyrmrest Purifier is an interesting arena pick for everybody - yeah, no synergy, but overall power level of class cards is bit higher, so you can highroll like my opponent?

The Highlander Mage deck recipe is actually pretty good. Farms many slow decks and can survive faster decks as well.
