A 1 mana 2/2 is great. The other option is iffy, but who cares in Quest druid. "Why not both?"

Tremendous card.

I don't know if it's going to go in a Quest Druid deck; do they have the space for this? That being said, it's a Titanic Lackey for Druids: being a 1-Mana spell means it's pretty flexible, and the 2/2 body is perfectly fine.

Nice early game tool for Druid, similar to Enchanted Raven but with more flexibility.

The combination of the two choose effects is not overly powerful, but would likely still see play in quest Druid for the sake of summoning a 2/2 for 1 mana for early board presence. 

A nice card that will fit into many decks due to being a 1 mana spell in a class which can utilise them efficiently.

A freaking shame that I see this as too slow... But if I get it, I will try to make it work, just for the art of the card.

a turn 1 2/2 seems decent

Treant early game, taunt later on.

Quite flexible.

But not good enough for Quest Druid, unless more choose one support for treant is provided.

Nice one drop for quest Druid... and people were saying Depth Charge is good for quest Druid... this is better because 2/2 is ok on turn 2...

5/5 on the name.

I like this card, a cheap buff or a nice 1 drop. This will be a very helpful tool for any druid deck that cares about the early game.

It is basically a combination of Power Word: Shield and Enchanted Raven. 

It also curves very nicely into Dendrologist

YESSSS! gimme gimme 

Congratulations to everyone who can get her now. She's definitely worth it and much better than potato nose Lazul and that soyboy Anduin

looks like a really fun card

Curves into The Forest's Aid, but it's still too slow for a real token deck.

The spell is fair enough.

YES. I missed the previous chance to get her, and I am very excited to finally get a chance to obtain her.

A big taunt that buffs all treants. This will probably see play in all token druid decks from now on. Though I am not sure if it is enough to make token druid viable. 

It does curve very well into The Forest's Aid though.

Legendary Ancient of War with a bonus of improving treant Druid decks.

Curves right into The Forest's Aid, so could be helpful for a more late game based token treant Druid. Comes down too late for a traditional early game token/swarm druid, but it could potentially make a slower treant focused deck more viable.

In the right deck, this card is great. However, aren't we losing a fair amount of Treant-producing cards soon? Seems like a weird time to print a Treant-based Legendary with The Boomsday Project on the verge of rotation.

At least it's not Ancharrr-weird.

SLima finally posts what I was thinking the second I saw this card, after more than a page of comments thinking this card will be busted...

This card is not particularly powerful if you're playing anywhere above rank 10 with decks that actually have a game plan beyond 'put stuff on the board I guess'. The keys to a HS deck are, in almost all cases, a) synergy, b) combinations, and c) game plan. If all your cards cost (1) more, suddenly all three of those get a whole lot harder. Synergy is more difficult to exploit when it's harder to get minions out quickly. Combinations become prohibitively expensive or stop working entirely. And it's much more difficult to have a game plan when you have to build your deck entirely around cards which only affect targets in the deck and you have no real way of tutoring them.

Now, never say never. It's theoretically possible for a deck built around this card to be strong. But it would have to be carefully built so as to prioritise mana timings and curve expectations when you draw one copy of this card, vs when you draw two copies, while also retaining enough game to survive and find an alternate win condition when they happen to be buried in the bottom half of your deck (which, incidentally, will happen somewhere in the region of 35% of the time assuming you hard mulligan for them and there are no tutors). It will be very hard to pull off.

My expectation is that we'll see a little of this card in opening week. Those decks will lose a lot to mana inefficiency. Playrate will drop off hard for a while. Then, when the meta starts to settle, we'll start to see moderately successful variants of the deck released which have been tuned to allow for the difficulties above. Those decks will get to around tier 2-3, but no higher, then drop off again as people get used to encountering them. 

TL;DR - not very strong, stop complaining.

There are some cards like Oasis Surger where this effect is very worth it, but can you make a deck full of minions which are good with this effect?

Bigger Minions → need more Mana → Ramp like Innervate or Wild Growth.

I mean you could play it without ramp, but that means you'll be behind cause your Minions can't be played on curve.

The wordplay is real. Also seems a little late for Treant-synergy when some of it is on the verge of rotation, but maybe we'll see more in the future to compensate.

Knight of the Wild?

From the forests of the wild, (he is called knight of the wild)

I care not for the trees, (Knights don't protect trees)

But I feel like a child, 

Around the beetles and bees. (if you play enough beasts he costs 0. I guess "like a child" could imply a small mana cost?)

Or is it The Voraxx?

it is a plant so it comes from the wild. And it cares about the weeds, not the trees. Thought I am not sure about the "I feel like a child" part.
