this might be what Treant Druid needed to finally be good enough. Mulchmuncher has been buffed already and now we get even more treants early to discount it faster.
This turn one, Landscaping on 3, Force of Nature on 5, that's a Mulchmuncher down to 3, which is good enough.
Meh. I don't see it working - treant decks have consistently failed to perform since they were first posited, and a single legendary (albeit a great one for the archetype) isn't going to change that. Even dropped on curve it's coming in later than a treant deck wants to spike (they really want to be at a positive or neutral boardstate going into their turn 8, which this card really doesn't push for).
I'm not counting the additional spell in the above analysis, primarily because it doesn't look good for a treant deck to me (amusingly). I -guess- it's a 1-drop that has some form of value to you later on, but... Eh. I suppose if I'm trying to find a reason to like it with that archetype, I'd note that an extra-cheap Treant is a good activator for other Treant synergy cards.
Note, however, that both these cards also have synergy with the Token Druid variant that died out about halfway through last expansion. You skip a lot of the Treant synergy, but when you've got a longer-term board-centric game plan I guess having your Forest's Aid arrive with a POTW already on it is worth a lot on its own.
P.S. I actually started doubting myself halfway through writing this. Maybe the legendary IS enough to salvage a functional archetype. I... really don't think it will, but I guess we'll see.
Honestly, I think this is better than people think. We're seeing crazy class cards being added to the already-strong Highlander pool, and this will tech against Highlander tech. Also gives you a last-ditch switch-up to spells in a bad spot (looking at you, Mage). Downside is you have to play it way late to get the right return.
We run all the RR big beast stuff like Stampeding Roar and Oondasta, then we buff a bunch of normally not as impressive beasts (Silverback meta hype) and summon them with those. MAybe even run Sathrovarr to get some additional value.
Aside from that we also have great interactions with Anubisath Sentinel, which will always cost (0), Zilliax is always fun with stat buffs, and just generally any taunt minion with high Heath benefits from this.
It's clunky, but at least Druid has enough draw to give this consistency.
Great card for Treant Decks. It curves into The Forest's Aid. It seems they want to make Token Druid good again. Let's hope treant decks get more support in future expansions.

The only question I have is: why on earth is this not a treant itself? I like experimenting with treant decks and will most definitely include this one to all my treant decks.

Dendrologist support finally.

Druid Card Reveals - Goru the Mightree & Treenforcements
These Puns are not that Treemendous. They're Oakay at Best.
Goru the Mightree
I like big tree man, I feel like he might be a little slow for token decks, but with some of the removal available he might be useful for late games.
10 health at 7 mana's not terrible, either.
Druid Card Reveals - Goru the Mightree & Treenforcements
could work with Flobbidinous Floop and make your treants 4/4 and Elise the Enlightened works too if you go late with treants.
Not sure if the legendary is strong enough though
Treenforcements
2/2 doesn’t have taunt... the other half of choose one doe
Druid Card Reveals - Goru the Mightree & Treenforcements
Well maybe quest token druid can be an option, adding the newly revealed embiggen

YES! Finally on curve Dendrologist is possible. The game is saved.
Goru the Mightree
They push treant Druid even more... will it finally work eventually???
Treenforcements
Nice card for token druid. A 2/2 with taunt for one mana is pretty good.
Epic Druid Card Reveal - Embiggen
Don't get upset, embrace the madness instead!
Goru the Mightree
Slow but effective, will se play for sure.

Now I have a proposition for you:
Biig Beast Druid....but you make the beasts big.

Not the best, but with the non-dragon legendary, miiiiiiiiiiiiiiight work...
Treenforcements
turn 2 because turn 1 you pla quest
New Druid Spell - Treenforcements
I doubt that this will find a place in the druid deck. At least until the raptor spell from Rastakhan rotates out in april.

i would love if treant became a key word. i mean, tribal (?, like murloc

Goodbye Control Warrior, I think this card should be legendary, playing against rogues with shadowstep will hurt too much…

Too slow for a serious token deck.
