A relly interesting concept.. I thought it would have seen much more play, especially for the 3 damage effect.. but a imba card like Spreading Plague proved itself to be far superior against any aggro deck.

Fandral's deathrattle gives +2/-1 to all minions.

I feel this card text is too confusing and complicated for new players. How did Ben ever approve this.

I like this! More for the Druid AoE when you're behind than anything else but is an absolute killer if you play this while ahead on the board and pick the +2/+2 option! And then of course the mindgames where the boards are close.

hard poker games

I want to see a Legendary that discovers 3 Deathrattles. I think that would be so cool.  

I don't care if this card ends up never getting played, the new concept is awesome!

Blizzard finally decided to add a fidget spinner to Hearthstone.

easy to predict with Fandral lol

ASSUMING this works with N'Zoth, the Corruptor(which it probably won't but fingers crossed) and it brings back the Fatespinner with the originally chosen deathrattle, it could be insane with the give all minions +2/+2 option. This is even assuming that choosing the +2/+2 option won't backfire on you went you choose it at first without reviving it, but I can already see a Trolden or Daily Hearthstone highlight moment with it, Wild or Standard.

Do any of you have any opinions on how it would affect arena? I know it is too early to tell with cards still unreleased and an undefined meta for the expansion, but I'd imagine it would have a pretty big impact because of it's ability to change the tide because an arena deck may not have a good answer in the way that a perfect constructed net-deck might.

Do you get both with Fandral? Would be awkward if so.

I think this is too risky to play the +2/+2 option as a deathrattle. Can't remember the names, but there are two cards from WotOG that give your minions buffs on dathrattle, and neither are played in constructed. The 3 damage option likely will be the popular option, but too slow as a deathrattle at 5 mana. Lotus Agents is barely played, and I think this new card isn't as good as Agents.

I agree with everything except that the 3 damage deathrattle is too slow. It's basically a Hellfire that either your opponent has to activate  themselves or you can use like a swipe (deal 8 damage to a minion and 3 to all others). That's a lot of value for 5 mana. I also think that the +2/+2 option would be the preferred option in control match-ups, since the 3 damage AoE would be pretty insignificant there.

My question is will the secret effect ever come into play. If your opponent has a big board you choose 3 damage to all. If you have a big board you choose +2/+2 to all. If anything I can see a lot of craziness happening from the +2/+2 in favor of the opponents side that it just might now be worth it to play that deathrattle effect. It's very rare I say that both sides would have even boards for both to be active and you would decide to give your opponent the high end of the stick by getting the ability to react to what it is.

 It would almost undoubtedly come into play. Sure, you're right when you say that there are obvious scenarios for a person to choose the Hellfire option or +2/+2 all option. The secret is what makes it hard to play around in even match-up scenarios. Since this is a 5 mana cost card as well, the opponent has alot of pressure put on them as well; Most games are defined around turn 4, 5, and 6 so if they play around the Fatespinner incorrectly (either flooding the board with their minions only to get them Hellfired or killing the Fatespinner only to accidentally buff a few of the opponent's minions), they get punished and could possibly lose the game.

The stat distrubution isn't bad at all with this card because of the deathrattle. At any higher mana cost, it would probably see little play because games may have already been decided by then and (although the Hellfire option is FUCKING SICK for little druid anti-aggro moves) Fatespinner wouldn't have enough impact.

But then again, lets just see how it goes when the expansion is released and the meta comes into play. Druid should have gotten a card like this along time ago. Not a must craft but I can definitely see it getting some play.

You can play it on an empty field, I guess. It would be a waste of the AOE, which is probably the most common use, though. But against a control deck you can try to buff your own minions. I suppose it's often guess-able which one it is, but the same goes for secrets, yet, we can sometimes get surprised. Just yesterday I lost a game vs a priest who discovered a secret and I missed lethal by playing around iceblock and then died to his Eater of Secrets. I added him and it ended up being spellbender.

you were dead with the spellbender too

can someone help me? I do not understand choose a deathrattle? 

is it choose a deathrattle from the board, deck or hand?

its choose one of the deathrattles mentioned on the card, namely: do 3 damage to all minions OR buff all minions with +2+2
