    It's flexible, but im not sure about it. Seems like a "buff a beast" kinda card. Not sure if it's good enough to actually be slotted into a deck.

    Easy payoff for a secret hunter deck, and with good cards like Titanforged Traps, Hidden Meaning and Costumed Singer i feel like a bigger secret package might be pretty good.

    Just a great TITAN. Nothing flashy or anything, just overal solid and will see play for quite some time.

    Hmm this is a pretty slow hunter card, however i think there is 1 certain deck which can just use this card immediately: Big Beast Hunter. Thanks to Hollow Hound Big Beast Hunter can afford to play a 8 mana do nothing, and once played you can buff up Hollow Hound into an 8/8 in order to regain the lost HP from the previous turn, or just remove some big treaths. Also this can help Hydralodon by making it harder to remove Hydralodons main body. The only bad thing is obviously turning King Krush from an 8/8 into a 8/8 or downgrading Mister Mukla. But outside of that, Hunter has plenty of good smaller minions which might enjoy being buffed into an 8/8.

    Also in Wild there might be some shenanigans with this card, but those shenanigans won't be good because Wild is way too fast for this card.

    Cards like these have always seen play, so yeah this will be a very good card for aggresive Druid decks. Altough Treant druid might not run this, because i don't think they want to wait 3 turns until this blossoms and actually summons treants.

    5 star card. Why? *Ahem* M A N A  C H E A T . Also this seems nice with a forged Embrace of Nature.

    Cheap wincon as long as you summon a bunch of treants. I'll give it a 4 star rating, just because it's a finisher and those have to be respected.

    Edit: Also this gives the buff to ALL minions, not only treants! So that makes it a bit more flexible.

    Tutors out Nourish. And yes, spending 2 mana to forge it IS worth it. Nourish gives you the 2 mana crystals back as well. So yeah this seems really good.

    Eh, this could see play. But it really needs a treant on board or else it's just a spider tank.

    Seems better than Chitinous Plating because this lets you draw a card. This will see play.

    Cards similar to this have NOT seen any play... But thats because cards like [Hearthstone Card (pathfinder) Not Found] only gave you the not-picked option. This actually combines the effect and makes it so you get both halves immediately which is very good. I think this will see play, if only because Nourish is such a good card and you want both effects.

    Eh seems bad. Treant druid has always prefered killing your opponent as fast as possible. I dont think this sees play, UNLESS Treant druid is DESPERATE for a board refill.

    Seems decent, considering Elise the Enlightened did see play. And hey maybe you can play your TITAN + pick refresh mana option and then duplicate the TITAN and Ancient with the other choose one option?

    0 mana 10/12 at worst. Yeah this is a 5/5 star card. Especially with all of druids ramp stuff.

    So this is pretty much always a 3 mana 2/5 at worst, and i remember that Lion's Frenzy actually saw a little bit of play back in the day. Of course the best thing about Argunite Golem is that it has 1 more guaranteed attack than Lion's Frenzy, but it's easier to remove than a weapon. At least it has 5 health which is a lot for turn 3. So i guess this will see play in some kinda aggro DH deck.

    In wild this can be pretty scary, especially in questline DH. Altough that deck probably prefers slamming down a big almost impossible to clear board of minions.

    Too slow for DH. Maybe an arena card?

    Hmm, i'm not sure if this is good enough to see play in DH. But i do admit that there are some interesting implications with this card and Halveria Darkraven

    Hmm idunno about this card. This has some pretty good stats, and DH does have good draw. BUT is DH gonna like playing a dormant minion? Seems pretty slow to me, and DH really likes being proactive and going FACE. Which is why i feel like this probably only sees play in a slightly slower DH deck. (Aka Relic DH might experiment with it.)

    Divine Favor AND you get 2 additional cards on top of that?!? Typical DH with their "Powercreep hated old cards" identity. It does take a total of 5 mana to do this however... Which is why i think this might not be that good? DH probably doesn't want to spend mana to forge a card, and has better draw than 3 mana draw 2.

    Seems strong, but DH does rely a lot currently on Glaivetar for draw. However with Weight of the World it might be procced quite easely.

    One thing is for certain though, DH might break wild with this card + some other ones from this expansion. RIP anyone who has to play against questline DH in wild.
