Even with Fandral, a 5/5 that heals for 5 and draws a single card is still not worth 7 mana. Ah well, I think Druid will be fine with the new cards... We shall see
Unfair, my ass. Lore was strong, but he was only considered "broken" because of the combo, which of course will no longer be existent (thankfully). I can even agree with Keeper to an extent (should be 2/3 IMO). But Lore was ridiculous.
Hopefully they will be introducing a druid card with a draw mechanic. Then this shenanigans would finally make sense.
This is absolute bullshit. Nerf/delete the combo all you want, Blizzard... But this nerf is completely unnecessary. AoL has been my favorite card since I started playing. Horrible value now. RIP.
its been many people's favorite since beta for the same particular reasons, hence the nerf. The two options need to be situational, not one always prioritized over the other
Hard to say, at this point. Although I'm still sad that they felt the need to touch Ancient of Lore (and by touch, I mean hammer into the ground), we still have hope in the new cards coming out this expansion, including the ones we have yet to see. Fingers crossed for a better Druid legendary!
Still excited to check for Ramp C'thun, should be quite interesting.
Why they nerfed Ancient of Lore, and not this card, is beyond me. Hopefully aggro pally will soon be a thing in the past, making Divine Favor irrelevant... Time will tell.
There is nothing fair about this. Versatility only counts if the choices are actually valueable. Yes, drawing a card is valuable, as is healing. but to draw a single card for 2-2.5 mana? They definitely should have upped the heal to compensate.
Just because it has been a popular card, doesn't mean it should go on the chopping block. Ancient of Lore has great value, but nothing game-breaking (I don't recall seeing posts crying for AoL nerfs). The new Druid legendary better be worth it.

Though the new changes suck for our beloved tree, it has beautiful artwork and animation. I'm keeping mine, as a testament to the glorious past!

This card was not the culprit of Druids "running rampant." Combo was. And versatility is only as good as the choices (which now suck).

so much for balance of power between Lore and War, eh?

Retards at Blizzard needing AoL and leaving broken shit like Savage Roar and Divine Favor untouched... Druid Legendary better be worth it.

With all the hate going around for Paladins/Warriors/Hunters, it's nice to see Druid finally getting some love. Thanks for the refreshing post!

Oh well, just gotta figure out how to make Aviana work. Still a more promising Legendary than Malorne

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. I feel like Wrynn is the card that Druid SHOULD have gotten... but didn't because they already have Ancient of Lore.
