  • I'm not totally sold on these "upgrade by Trading" cards because you can never know when you'll draw it again. That said, this one looks very promising, as it's cheap and a big refresh can be really impactful.

  • Now that we know about the new chance to mana, going above 10. This seems like a great way to bank a good Big mana turn. Maybe not that Big, But Getting maybe 4 or 5 extra mana banked could work... Really slow though

  • This will surely lead into some crazy combos, but is once again extremely slow and slow decks probably have better ways to win anyways.

  • The wind-up mechanism looks cool from a flavor point of view, but I'm not sure if it holds up in the actual game. At the very least, this will be used for some very funny meme combos.

  • You trade this once, and you get a free 2/1 so if you play a long enough game you can turn this into a ridiculous combo enabler. If Druid has the juice to go the distance this might be an enabler of shenanigans.

  • Druid can be really good at drawing, so it can probably redraw this pretty reliably. It can set up combos, but you'd need to Trade it a lot of times to do that and then it becomes a bit unwieldy.

    I think it's probably best at just being a free or -1 mana 2/1 rather than trying to Trade it a lot for a crazy combo.

    Friendly Staff

  • Very slow, but steady. Potential combo enabler and will see play in those decks

  • Doesn't seem worth it imo.

  • Not great, as you'd need to trade it at least 2 times before you get a coins value out of it and even then, it's not crazy

    Could be wrong though

  • A mini Inner Bloom that you can instead Trade,

    Druid has tons of draw so it will readily have this back,

    but the refresh also makes this good in token swarms,

    Beast of Both Worlds ;D

  • Even if its slow, the mana cheat will become relevant at some point in the card's lifetime.

  • Seems a little too slow to be amazing, but I see the potential there. Maybe it'll see play.

  • Best of the Wind-Up cards, since this one costs 2, while the others cost 6, and after 1 Trade it pays for itself. Probably still not going to be wonderful.

  • Really needs a Miracle (hah) Druid to cycle through their deck fast to upgrade this enough... When they already have Contaminated Lasher available with a much easier requirement?
