You completely missed his point. He's saying Jade Druid already dominates the control meta, and with this card it can dominate aggro as well.
Nevermind, Skulking Geist will change everything.
Does the boy crack you up right now????
Edit: Misread it / wording got me
This card doesn't summon only 2 1/5 if your opponent has 7 minions on board, you will get 7 of these nice guys.
i think they are just trying to disencourage aggro decks from being played, if its an aggro meta this might slow it down
so Protect the King! on steroids.. very good card against aggro.
then you're burning down your own minions fool (unless you use mostly dragons), just for bunch of 1/5 taunts you probably could have handled without dragonfire, being priest and not zoo deck user like warlock or hunter. :/
Hmmm. They forgot to add "...oh yeah and summon a Jadegolem and shuffle a billion more of these into your deck."
Yeah, I'm still mad about Jade Idol. Deal with it.
Where was this during the pirate warrior meta?....
This is a really good card! It synergizes well with the new legendary Hadronox and since druids like to use all of thier mana to play really big minions this could help if you find yourself falling behind to faster decks with more AOE's and removal. I can;t wait to play this card.
There are far better taunt minions to summon with Hadronox than a bunch of measly 1/5s.
But there isn't a way to summon taunt minions this easy. Heck, these guys are good fillers in cause you are missing few taunts from getting full board.
This is a great anti aggro tool. I imagine jade druids might run at least one of these. Curious how this interacts with Yogg and Arcane Giant
Ah maybe blizzard finaly wants to see aggro decks crying in corner
The way it's worded, I initially thought it would summon a maximum of 2 scarabs too. I see the problem though, it's hard to come up with a better wording without putting too much text on the card. Best I can come up with is 'Summon 1/5 scarabs with taunt until you have the same number of minions as your opponent. A minimum of one scarab is summoned'.
"Summon a 1/5 scarab with taunt. Repeat for each enemy minion"
They had to word it that way because they want the spell to be cast multiple times as part of the effect. Otherwise they could simply word it like Unleash the Hounds.
This is functionally different than Unleash the Hounds.
Unleash will always summon one minion for each enemy.
Spreading plague could end up summoning less than that if you already have minions on the board.
Protect the King!
+2 Mana cost
+4 Health per token
+Beast tag
+Works once on empty board or equal number of minions on both sides (worst case scenario)
+Druid class loves tokens
-However, if your side of the board isn't empty it will summon less tokens.
I'd put it in the "excellent but weak archetype" category.
