As others pointed out, this won't work out in token that we know, where it would have the most significant impact. Also, extra stats are surely worth extra 1 mana, but the effect is not immediate.
General problem with this card is that you have to put a lot of minions in deck, and Druid strenght lies mostly in its spells.
It will be interesting to see how good it will be in Arena, I guess it should be a strong early play. Mana cost can screw your curve, but you can build hard aggro if you get it early in draft.
With all of these tech cards being introduced it makes me wonder if we'll see something that messes with graveyards in the future. I understand that there are technical difficulties to overcome here as stated by the devs, but I can live in hope. I never thought I'd see an armor destroying golden bullet, after all.
As I said, we don't know anything about this character they just made up. What I can speculate is that she is either a druid who is in a tree form, which has always been a part of druid lore and is a form the player can take. https://www.wowhead.com/spell=114282/treant-form
Other option is that she's an ancient of some sort, a sort of tree demigod that often works with druids. https://wow.gamepedia.com/Ancient
Either option would be perfectly in lore. I'm just disappointed that they didn't pick one that already exists and give it a less-creepy face.
I agree that is bad design, but "it's either unplayable and useless or completely busted", isn't that the definition of a tech card?
Yeah, this is true but I don't think it is as polarizing as this. Most tech cards aren't aimed at only one class with such a strong upside against them, but it does happen.
The best thing about Elise is the ability to say "I feel fortunate to have witnessed this" after your Shaman opponent hare evolves on turn 3, and when a mogu is thrown in "I appreciate your efforts"
I mean this could be a decent arena card, not seeing it's niche use in constructed allowing it to actually make the cut in a deck, but I like that it exists.
Based on everyone else's rating, I think this is the sleeper of the expansion. I don't think this makes a token deck though, I think it makes a zoo deck where you run a very low curve and ultimately plan on playing out on curve with one or both copies of this active. These should basically slot in for whatever few pieces of top end you'd normally run.
Damn, I feel like the black sheep here. I actually like it? Maybe something IS wrong for me. That's what my mom wrote in every birthday card until I was ten.
A 1 mana 2/2 is a good turn 1 play and it has some flexibility with the other effect. It can be followed up with Dendrologist and you can get some extra value with Keeper Stalladris. Seems like a good card for token druid.

The more I look at this hero the more I want a hard cider

When it comes to skins I usually have nothing negative to say, but that is the fucking ugliest thing I have ever seen. It's almost offensive.
Cardback is sweet though.

[Game] Card Treasure Hunt (The Resurrection Attempt)
I'm avoided in-game, as I was in school,
For to play me, is to play the fool.
I was created for E.V.I.L, but equality I seek,
But the opponent wins out, and so I am weak.
New Druid Spell - Embiggen
1 mana for +2/+2 more than a fair trade, almost... Broken.
