This card isn't going to be good because of Aviana, because Aviana is a shitty fucking card and havig synergy with one card doesn't magically make Aviana worth running.
This card however is good because of the armor option/flexibility, mostly. It's either an Ancient Shieldbearer for Ramp Druid when it needs to outlast an opponent and/or drop a fatty, or it allows them to play an additional 7/7 when dropping their Ysera or Alexstrasza or whatever, which can be huge.
I see this as comboing WAY better with Alexstrasza than Aviana, because Alex is a good card you can actually run and it sets up immediate lethal the following turn (opponent's life to 15, 8/8 from Alex, 7/7 from Kun, 1 attack from hero power makes 15.
Uhh I hate to be that guy but
Not to mention it's pretty much a more consistent arcane giant that doesn't need you to build your deck around it; just get to turn 10.
I don't think you can play Alex and still hero power.
This card is going to be very good. It's a big body that doesn't affect the board, which is usually a death wish, but the ability to then get another 10 mana to affect the board with OR get yourself out of lethal range in an emergency makes this very versatile and will probably become a feature in a lot of Druid decks.
If meta slows down maybe but it probably wont so it will be to slow
if you were at 10 mana to begin with and had lethal what does this minion actually do? like if you wanted a huge 0 mana stated body you play arcane giant. would you play this and 2x arcane giant? no you won't. the only way to make use out of this is if you give it taunt. like like if you play it for armor you literally have a slightly more efficient feral rage + 7/7 body but druids have no direct synergy with armor so it's a lot less valuable compared to warrior. This card has no place in constructed. could be a game swinging card in arena though.
what about arcane giants though? They're 2 of in every maly/token druid deck and are 0 mana 8/8's in the late game, which is when they shine, this card also has the added flexibility of the armor.
how many vanilla creatures can a constructed deck carry though? like at the end of the day this card is just extra tempo which 2 arcane giants already do for you, like do you really want more is the questionl
Will see play in Aviana Trolden and a few variants of Ramp and Astral Communion Druid, aka big, burly, slow decks. I think that's about it.
I think the choose one gives it flexibility...your almost always going to refresh the mana crystals if you have cards to play in hand...but a lot of times in the late game...you don't have cards to play in hand and so the extra 10 armor is great....it really can mess up a deck that is saving the burst to finish you off.
Aviana Innervate Fandral Staghelm+Kun the Forgotten King + dump hand full of choose one cards = GG
Avians will be rotated out btw
Yup, the next year tho
so we still have reno with Karakus for a little bit? I don't think so
Forget the 4 mana 7/7, there's a 0 mana 7/7 now!
Refreshing the mana crystals itself is a powerful tool. It's a flexible but weaker arcane giant in a spell heavy deck, but could be a powerhouse in a ramp druid deck
AVIANA COMBO !
The Fandral dream.
