I dont find this card that impressive myself.  I guess 3/2 with stealth is nice though.  But, I've never thought Druid had buff cards worth using like a Velens, so I am not sure it's ever going to be anything but a 3/2 with some survivability.  If you just want that Fairy Dragon gets you there and doesn't see much play.

I don't see myself using this card unless they give Beast Druid a reason for being.  (Druid of the Fang isn't enough)

... why not a 2/4 for 2..?

3/2 stealth has the same point distribution... but is less useful

*Sigh*

3/2 stealth trades up since it's not easily removed.  I like it.

Trading up was never Druid's problem.
It was stopping a heap of 1/1s and 2/1 and 3/2s after spending one swipe.

2/4 covers Druid's weaknesses far better than yet another 3/2.

in the current decks it's not a druids issue because we play a lot of fatties currently.  In a more aggro beast set up this is better.

This is pretty much true at the moment, hopefully we'll get more.  Hopefully the next Legendary has some sweet beast interaction!  Though the dream currently for me is turn 2 this guy as a stealther, turn three innervate Druid of the Fang.  7/7 on turn three is pretty decent, and previously difficult to do.

This new Druid druid allows the player to choose between two different keywords and statlines, which is what made Druid of the Claw so good in the first place.  This flexibility allows the Druid of the Sabre to work as quickly or as slowly as you want it to, which is very important for the class as a whole.

In context, however, what do we want this card for?  We already have Wild Growth and Darnassus Aspirant for turn 2 plays, so why are we putting it in our decks?  Well, it has charge, so it's a way to help Combo Druid end the game if they've drawn Savage Roar but not Force of Nature, and it can also have stealth, so you can store it away as yet another Savage Roar target to use in the future.  However, because it can't be played on curve, it's not quite as good as Druid of the Claw.

The hierarchy of the Druid druids is now as follows:

Druid of the Claw
Druid of the Saber
Druid of the Flame
Druid of the Fang

Ugg.  you've got a 3 card dream (that also prevents Wild Growth on turn 2) that turns nightmare when your opp drops a BGH on curve.

That's not much of a plan of attack if you ask me.

I hate this name

I'm pretty sure that this minion Transforms. Are you sure this is the way the card is worded?

MORE Druids

Snakes, it has to be Snakes ;3

ugggh I am not saying it's good, I am saying it's fun uggggh

Also yeah that BGH would suck, like it sucks whenever I get BGHed.  (good news most people mulligan him out of their opening hands, in general I shouldn't see him on curve).

Also I wouldn't even put wildgrowth in the deck I am thinking of so that point is particularly moot.

Also I am not asking you.

Also Leornard Nimoy is dead.

::sniff sniff cries::

Why did you have to remind me?!

Still waiting on good cards...feel like there won't be any in this expansion.

Maybe its on purpose, to make Tavern Brawl look like a success in comparison.

The 2/1 with charge won't be played.  The 3/2 with Stealth seems interesting, but what do you take out of Druid to play that card?  Wild Growth?  Wrath? Shade? BGH?

Good news that this will indeed be a beast. Beastdruid may still not be top tier, but it feels like it will be viable, especially for players who lack some key cards for other types of druid.

I hope that it will be feasible to build druid decks that do not depend on drawing wild growth by turn 2.

You play a different deck?

I am sorry I was, angry and I just...he just hurt me and I couldn't deal...I just....so sorry.

druid is getting beastly

(get it?)

This card has great options.  Definitely an insta-pick in arena.

Early game ok 2-drop if needed. Later both forms have synergy with savage roar stealth/charge.

A 2-drop for Druid's with powerful early-game flexibility?

Help for druid against aggro but enough versatility to be strong at any game stage?

How are people not signing up?!?!?!

I'd say take out The banes as they don't really fit the theme of 'beast aggro deck'  and in their place put in 2x Druid of the Fang

Adds another win condition for combo that can be played as a decent card otherwise. Seems awesome.
