I just thought of something if this dies when you're already at 10 crystals do you get excess mana? If not this is a pretty dam awful top deck.
Probably. It'd be a pretty bad card otherwise.
yea, we were really missing some ramp stuff...
super disappointed blizzard...
In April Druid will be. They'll be back down to Wild Growth and Nourish. If this 'big deck' thing actually takes off in even a modest number of decks, druid is going to be in huge trouble when that happens without ramp.
Jade Blossom seems better because it lines up with Nourish. But it's ramp, and ramp will be broken for as long as Ultimate Infestation exists.
The thing about this card is it's kinda win win when you play it on 3. They can either kill it and u'll be at 5 mana or they can leave it and you can send the 3 damage where ever you please (except taunt).
jokes aside people have mentioned the art. My favorite was someone saying he looks so happy with that mana crystal I'm not sure if I wana take it from him.
I responded "me druid, me take all crystal me can get *whacks the sprite and takes the crystal*"
Makes ramp even slower. Opponent can choose to ignore it to slow your ramp = very bad. I play only ramp druid now, and eve getting a perfect ramp hand is too slow vs rouge/warlock most of the time. This card is OK, but I remember so many druid ramp cards that never made the cut.

I also think it is too slow, although it has the advantage of being recruitable ramp. And after the rotation in Spring 2018 Druid is left with only Wild Growth and Nourish in Standard. Then I guess Greedy Sprite will see regular play.
I think ramp druid might die for awhile. Its not the best deck right now, and without jades I think it will be even worse. Also, ramp lost innervate. That was a pretty big hit.
This card, alongside the Duskbreaker , Leyline Manipulator and Carnivorous Cube may be the strongest card in the set. A minion, which can be ignored at a cost of losing a board control, or killed giving an additional ramp, which is insane for a class that can already ramp up to 10 mana as early as turn 5. This card may make a consistently ramping class more consistent. The drawback is possibility of silencing this card, which would waste a silence on this small guy, instead of a big one, like The Lich King
As someone who tried desperately to make Shallow Gravedigger work in Quest Priest, I can tell you that 3-mana 3/1s are hot garbage. This likely won't even see play after Jades rotate to Wild.
Nevermind that you sometimes can go right into Nourish....yes the body is sometimes better than the one you get from Jade Blossom, but I don't expect this to see play at all.

3 mana 3/1's that ramp you if the opponent removes them are in fact not garbage... Either it's easily removed and you get to ramp into Nourish, or they leave it and you can dictate a trade if needed.

I thought that a 3-mana 3/1 that has synergy with your Quest and gives you card advantage would be good too. The tempo loss is just too big.
Right now, I don't think this card is better than a guaranteed 3-mana ramp via Jade Blossom, both in Jade Druid (in which Jade Blossom is pretty much better in all ways) and in Big Druid (in which the guarantee of playing Nourish on the follow up turn probably puts Jade Blossom much ahead of this).

Maybe replace the Jade Blossoms in a deck in which you're not playing Jade?
More ramp? Why not
