Offscreen are trained Alliance sharpshooters aiming for Guff's skull.
I like it. Not quite sure where it fits best deck-wise, but buff + rush and leaving a body behind seems pretty solid.
4 mana 4/2 buff? The deathrattle is nice but the idea behind this is almost certainly as a removal option because what's the use of the rushing 4/2 if its out during your opponent's turn?
At very least it does grant rush so its not completely useless but I suspect more likely druid will only ever be playing this out of a discover, because this is not a card you ever want to see in your hand.
Lake Thresher is the most obvious target but this can easily work with Twilight Runner as well, or 0 mana Strongman. Or perhaps in some weird world druids can start running Blademaster Samuro as a surprise board clear.
just realized how good this is combined with Lake Thresher.
Maybe Midrange Beast Druid will be a thing, since you can discount the thresher with the Snake guy from Wailing Caverns
Good to see the Horde characters will also get mounts. In the preview, we only saw Alliance ones.
Tamsin was confirmed quite a bit ago on some podcast that she'll get the Warlock mount, the Felsteed. Rokara is the next card that is going to be shown, hers is the Worg Mount. Varden might not get a mount due to being captured by the Alliance in Kurtrus' story and locked in the Stockades, so no Hawkstrider. Bru'kan's Raptor is left up in the air.
Scabbs Mechanostrider is also deconfirmed because Rogue's don't do buffs.
I guess that means they only unconfirmed ones left is Paladin and maaaaybe Kurtrus, although I don't think Demon hunter do buffs either. Does Shaman? I could definitely see something small like a 3-mana +2/+1 Windfury, or maybe even something like a 1-mana +1/+1 with Spell Damage +1. (or a bigger one with +2)
Kurtrus hasn't been unconfirmed, but the reveal on July 21st at 8am is a Saber's paw. When I looked over at the Felsaber in WoW, it closely resembles what was shown, so it is likely that the Felsaber is coming. Even if Demon Hunter never did general buffs since it is suppose to be their weakness. Bru'kan's raptor could do Windfury. That was part of their identity, initially. Since Paladin's mount is the class mount(Warhorse), I assume it is likely that they'll do theirs since that completes the Classic lv 40 class mounts(Warhorse and Felsteed) and completes the overall trio of class mounts so far(Felsaber included).
I mean I want to see this played, but it really depends on Druids direction. At the moment nothing midrange or tempo focused has really been played because all that Druid does is either Tokens or Survival of the Fittest. Neither of those decks want this I think. If we see a compelling reason to push in a new direction this might see use though.
I think you hit the nail on the head: this doesn't fit into existing decks. If it was part of the Nature school, it would at least be chosen once in a while with Nature Studies (and it would synergize with Guff, which would be nice thematically since it is his mount!).
I suspect this was created as a follow-up to midrange taunt druid that never really got off the ground.
So, bottom line: excellent value, great for midrange decks, but doesn't replace existing cards in the current environment.
Nature Studies isn't limited to Nature spells so you will see it occasionally
I guess this is what removal for Druid looks like now.
Great card with good vale for the cost
Reminds me Restless Mummy
No tomb can hold me! Yahahaha!

I like that you can't go face right after buffing since you give it rush that balances this a bit.
This is cost efficient clear for 5 mana you put this on a 1 mana minion and get a 4/2 rush good clear.
I think this card will see a lot of play
if the minion could attack face, giving it rush wont take that ability away. it could be 4 damage burn if you needed it to be
Oh downvoted for a mistake...anyways then the card will definitely see play its even better then.
