Raven Idol is a Druid card and you can only get class-specific and neutral cards from it.
What a plan!
Do that with a violet teacher on board, generate full board of 1/1s, savage roar next turn
Drawing Dr. Boom on turn 1 makes you sad because for 6 turns of the game, it's chewing a hole right through your hand.
Drawing Zombie Chow on turn 10 makes you sad because it'll just die to the large minions usually on the board by then.
Drawing this will never make you sad that you drew it on the wrong turn - you can choose either the minion that best fits your curve or the minion that's the best value. (That said, being offered, say, Wisp, Target Dummy, and Angry Chicken probably would make you sad.)
Interesting, but I'm not really a fan of the Discover mechanic.
T6 for druids: Idol into Innervate into Dr.Seven. Who needs coin anyway?
Spell when you need a spell, minion when you need a minion. Seems playable but not great.
Does it count as a spell itself?
Indeed it does. Might help to bring back miracle druid
the RNG the RNG!
one RNG to rule them all
paying 1 mana for a card that u can manipulate the outcome slightly isnt that great of a deal. turn 1 though u usually dont do anything so its a nice curve filler.
it doesnt even combo well with the druids playstyle and cards. I think its fun card and i love it but i wouldnt run this in my deck if i wanted to play srsly. Maybe another deck cn take advantage of it but i doubt it.
you are right, with just a bit of luck, it would actually be good
It's actually pretty good. More on the spell side though. Discovering a minion chooses from all neutral and druid minions. Discovering a spell chooses only from the druid spells. So spell wise this is pretty awesome since it can act as a pseudo 3rd copy of say, swipe. (Which is actually pretty possible since it chooses 3 spells from the druid's spells. There's only like 15 or 16) Creature wise though requires a whole lot more luck to get something useful.
Edit: My bad. About 25-26 spells. I forgot to include spells from adventures and forgot about a few others. Still decent odds. About 4% for any specific spell
4% for each of the 3 cards to be the one you like, yes
Plus it's technically a bit higher than 4% since it looks for 3 DIFFERENT cards. Basically each subsequent search has a smaller pool and a slightly higher chance. Totaled together I'd say you have ABOUT an 8 or 9% chance to get the card you actually want. In a game where 1% is a really high chance, that's an amazing chance.
Auctioneer -> Raven Idol -> Wild Growth -> Excess Mana -> draw profit :D
Miracle Druid shall return. Stronger than ever.
raven idol into tree of life :D
EDIT: could be nice with maly, another coin(innervate) or moonfire
Or living roots.
