I predict a Murloc Druid emerging from this card. You've heard it from me first!
Jungle Giants
Or cards like Umbral Owl
Good point. Cards whose cost you can reduce are going to be best with this. I think the best card to combo with this will be strong man.
Do we know if this works with discounted cards? Say with Aviana in wild?
It doesnt specify that the original cost has to be lower than two.
Had this card existed in any other class it would have been one of the most OP cards in this expansion. But it exist in druid, where the general idea is not to play small stuff but to ramp the shit off and cheat incredible amounts of mana.
That said, this card easily slots into the current taunt/menagerie druid that its guaranteed to see play at some point. Put simply, you can just play this and Razormane Battleguard on 5 into another 4 mana taunt. And if it works as I think it would, the oracle will summon another copy of that 4 mana taunt too.
Outside of that, there's is a small potential for combo with Elwynn Boar, but druid's card draw isn't what it used to be and couple that with the fact that druid cant maintain tempo too well its nearly never going to work, needing 5 cards for the combo to succeed, and even if you can assemble the sword out you're still not necessarily going to roll out a win, since the sword doesnt deal with the board at all. And if your opponent started with the coin, its only an ooze away from destroying your win condition.
Living Seed (Rank 2)
Im not sure what you're suggesting but if the idea is for living seed to tutor out the boars, then that's fine, but you still need to draw out the oracles and the broom or pray hard there's no silence or ooze.
Druid doesn't really maintain tempo all that well, and to use living seed to draw a card that can't be used for tempo isn't really going to help. Im not saying that the combo is impossible, but even a midrange deck is more than capable of taking down a druid that doesn't do anything for 4 turns or more.
I ought to also mention in my original post that there is another problem with this combo; the boars have to die, and die on your turn or your weapon won't be swinging most of the time. So an effective counter is to simply not have a minion with more than 6 health on board and the combo gets effectively countered.
Ooze is only a problem if the last boar dies on your opponent's turn since everytime you swing the Sword, it destroys their Mana Crystals. But I agree with you that Druid will be one of the harder classes to pull this off in standard.
Anyway... this has huge potential as a reload in swarm decks. My first idea was Enchanted Raven but we could even see a Murloc Druid emerging :D
If they have a coin they'd be able to ooze it. But of course, no one keeps a coin just to anticipate this kind of stuff.
Oracle of Elune + Oracle of Elune + Elwynn Boar + Animated Broomstick
Kill all the boars assuming the enemy has enough stats on board to do so.
Then play the next Elwynn Boar to summon Sword of a Thousand Truths
Which would be a 9 mana 5 card combo not too bad. Okay it's pretty bad.
This is probably the not so good version of this combo but it is possible.
That seems like only 6 boars being summoned. Where are you getting the 7th?
It would be 8...you play both oracles then play the boar then broom stick then you play the 2nd board and hope they don't get silenced.
Nope. Still six. Both oracle only summons 1 copy of boar. (2+1) *2 times.
You could however add Shando Wildclaw to play the 7th.
Here's a better one.
Discount both Elwynn Boar to 0. (Living Seed or Fangborn Druid)
On turn 10, play both Oracle, play 1 Boar, then Broom. (trade 3x Boar with enemy)
then play another Boar, then coins/innervate Wildclaw into Boar, then Broom. (trade 4x boar with enemy).
Total 11 mana.
Any suggestion is welcomed
Oh yeah it six idk what I was thinking
Welp Rogue and Priest it is. Definitely possible with Druid but takes way too much.
Maybe there will be some more cards to help do the combo in druid or other classes
My first thought was razormane battle guard as well.
or the new boar haha
Turn 2 (with Coin) - Oracle of Elune
Turn 3 - Razormane Battleguard (+ 2nd summoned copy) + SOME Taunt...
f.e. Teacher's Pet or Greybough or Thickhide Kodo or Groundskeeper (btw. those discounted Taunts get copied too? If so, then it can get really insane)
Profit :)
