I'm giving any card with "discover a dragon" an automatic 4 stars. There are so many good dragons that will be available to choose from that you won't get many duds out of playing them. Having life steal on an early game minion will help against aggro as well. Good solid card.
I rated this card only 3 stars, but that is because not all classes will use it equally. Most people have already pointed out that this benefits Mage in trying to get the cyclone archetype going. Priest, Warrior, and Shaman might all get some decent use out of this. There are too many secrets and situational cards for Paladin to get consistent results from it. I wonder if the development of this card is what pushed Naturalize into the Hall of Fame.
Lackey cards are always going to be good and this one is extra fun. A solid body for the mana, some armor, and a lackey. Not a bad card. I see this one being a warrior staple in anything non-aggro for a while.
This is a card that everyone has been waiting for but now that we have it I don't know how much we need it. Maybe some wild decks will tech it in against the bees druid deck. Heal paladin isn't a big enough thing that we want to put it in all our decks. At least we will have it if any big armor decks come about in the future.
Because the "+1 attack" comes first, you need a valid target first before you play the card. If there's no target, there's no Invoke. Notice that Warlock's Fiendish Rites has them in the opposite order.
I don't think they do. But I think a team like this deserves the publicity boost that can come with a reveal. This team puts so much hard work into this site, and everything they do is in spirit of making the community a better place. I would think Blizzard giving a reveal could be an ultimate "thank you" and acknowledgement of how important Outof.cards is to the health of the hearthstone community.
Of course, Flux and Co. could very well want nothing to do with everything that would be required for a reveal. So maybe they're glad Blizz hasn't given them one?
Good if treant druid is viable, if not, this has great potential at some point in the future
It better hurry. Looking at the expansions that currently push treants....and are rotating out in March/April, Boomsday cards are going to be the biggest losses. From what I can see:
This has the possibility of being a niche tech card. As others have pointed out, bombs or Hakkar decks can be countered with this. Other than that, I only see this as having meme possibilities. I hope I open at least one just to goof around with it.
Quest druid approves of this card give a minion health and taunt and summon a 2/2 for 1 Mana. This is pullable from the new dragon since it’s a 1 cost you could use with the new taunt but that’s less important and this has best value with quest.
I don't see this in a token druid deck. The token summoner and generator cards won't benefit from this buff. I see it being used in some kind of big druid deck. If you are already running big cards adding one more mana for +2/+2 isn't too much of a drawback. Early ramp and spells to get to your big minions is the way to go with this deck style.
I like the concept of this card, but I just don't see it happening on a regular basis. It feels like it comes too late in the game to make enough treants benefit from the effect. It has a difficult body to deal with but I don't know if it brings enough to the table.
It seems to be a decent card, but I don't know if it is good enough to find a place in the current druid decks. It has decent options to choose both, but I don't know what it would replace. So many of the current choose cards curve out so well that doesn't seem to be much space for a one mana play.
Really excited for this news since I don't have her. I got super lucky since T5 somehow managed to re-release her.
But maybe a lot of players would feel cheated because they believed that this was an exclusive deal. I think that they should have only given the chance to those who actually were unable to claim her back in the day due to geographical reasons.
Relying on a single card to make a deck good is a bit unreliable, they’d probably have to print some more stuff that liked treants for it to be any good
New Druid Minion - Goru the Mightree
I would add a few pandas to the deck with this just in case.
For example against a reactive control deck you may not need the body to be left on the field.
New Paladin Minion - Bronze Explorer
I'm giving any card with "discover a dragon" an automatic 4 stars. There are so many good dragons that will be available to choose from that you won't get many duds out of playing them. Having life steal on an early game minion will help against aggro as well. Good solid card.
Hearthstone's Winter Veil 2019! Returning Card Back + Card Pack Bundle w/ New Druid Hero - Dame Hazelbark
Insightful indeed but only to those who know the game very well, for the others: well they are just the others...
New Druid Spell - Treenforcements
and with the new legendary it can easily be a 3/3

New Priest Spell - Time Rip
I should have given an example.
I have a friend who played Archmage Vargoth in his rogue deck and one of the things he could do is double an Assassinate, here you can't.
But It is very especific so yeah, it is mostly an upside.
New Rogue Spell - Seal Fate
This cards can be compared to the Chtun cards, where they had a common effect and then its own effect and stats.
Within this cards there are those whom their own effect or stat is so good that they don't need Chtun or Galakron to be played.
An example of this was C'Thun's Chosen which was played in divine shield paladdin decks.
New Warrior Minion - EVIL Quartermaster
Lackey cards are always going to be good and this one is extra fun. A solid body for the mana, some armor, and a lackey. Not a bad card. I see this one being a warrior staple in anything non-aggro for a while.
They do, just hasn't been revealed yet. All 5 of the "E.V.I.L." classes have a Galakrond.
New Neutral Minion - Platebreaker (Armor Destruction)
This is a card that everyone has been waiting for but now that we have it I don't know how much we need it. Maybe some wild decks will tech it in against the bees druid deck. Heal paladin isn't a big enough thing that we want to put it in all our decks. At least we will have it if any big armor decks come about in the future.
New Rogue Spell - Praise Galakrond!
True, didn't think about that.

Witchwood:
Witchwood Apple
Boomsday:
Dendrologist
Landscaping
Tending Tauren
Mulchmuncher
Rumble:
Treespeaker
I hope Blizz pushes out more treant support the following year. Rise of Shadows and Uldum only had 1 card each:
Garden Gnome
The Forest's Aid

Oh God you just game me PTSD

This card? Cobalt Spellkin
What do you cut from the current iteration of quest druid though?

Emerald Explorer
Really good card for dragon druid. Seems like this deck will be a thing
Treenforcements
Dont know what deck will use this. This card is okay but it's just fine, not amazing

Tales of the Deck - Alpha Testing
Looks interesting and very retro! I'll send you a DM on Discord to get a key so I can check it out.
New Druid Spell - Treenforcements
Looks decent enough, always nice to have a card do multiple things as well
