people are so narrow minded.. this can easily be a card that can quickly go out of control.
turn 5 oaken into fandral into coin double jade idol or power of the wild and you now have a field that needs to be answered.
why not just turn 5 fandral into coin double jade idol instead of oaken? whats the purpose of oaken here? just 6 armor? you cant even guarantee fandral in jade because of jade spirit and eventually mire keeper, mc tech, golakkam doomsayer
wow, turn3 ironwood golem, turn4 this into violet teacher which then probably summon a token. it's gonna hard to get rid of her behind big taunt
Druid recruit so far is not that great.
It actually doesn't hurt most Druid decks that wouls use this too much to not include 1,2 or 3 mana cards, so it could easily see play.
You can use this to fetch your Fandral or get a Ironwood Golem (4 mana: Gain 6 armor and summon a 3/6 with Taunt from your deck is a pretty good anti-aggro card - The Ironwood Golem would even be able to attack if it survives a turn due to you gaining 6 armor)
You could in theory even use it to pull minions like Injured Blademaster and the new 4 mana dragon, but that's probably too meme-y.
I don't know why by this does't feel like a real card.
I am not a real fan of this card. There are so few good 4 cost minions that are 'good' without their battlecry and then you're just looking at vanilla stats. Might be seen as a one of to fetch Fandral Staghelm.
This gets me thinking. Seeing as you would obviously want your curve to start at 4 in terms of minions, and seeing as we already got that Grizzled Guardian for 8 with the same effect, this might actually make Hadronox N'Zoth Druid a thing. Normally the issue is getting Hadronox down without taking quarter of a million damage to the face. If you drop Grizzled Guardian and have Shieldmastas and Infested Taurens in the deck, it's highly likely they can't punch through all of it in one turn, leaving you with defense for your Hadronox turn. Then, if you want to be really cheeky, you can just Moat Lurker your Hadronox to pop it on turn 10. If they AoE the board, you get your Hardonox back from Moat Lurker and can go again, reviving your Grizzled Guardian, Shieldmastas, and Taurens. After all that shit is done, you can N'Zoth to get your Grizzled Guardian, Taurens and potentially one or two Hadronoxes for another round. At one point or another, your taunts are bound to stick. Then you just play Strongshell Scavenger and punch them in the face for most of their health. Also worth noting is that one of the Taunts you'd play in your deck would be Lich King, so you are going to be getting quite a few Lich King cards to mess with them. Might be clunky, but I have faith for some spectacular memery.
Why Moat Lurker when there is Carnivorous Cube around ?
I guess Tempo/Taunt Druid will be a thing? The newly revealed Ironwood Golem and a Crypt Lord would benefit from this; moreover, this card can proc Lesser Jasper Spellstone (twice maybe?)
won't proc twice because it does not count as two instances just like taking 3 damage from flame imp won't upgrade the warlock spell stone to max.
Gain 6 armor + get a minion. I will replace my 2x Moonglade Portal with this because i find 6 mana alot!
Actually a pretty good arena card. Considering that the portals from karazhan was good, this is going to be an OP arena card.
you will get a fire fly with it !
Have you ever played Arena?
I'm sure as hell going to make a meme deck with this, Injured Blademasters, King Mukla, Ancient Shades and Hungry Dragons.
Could actually work with the Grizzled Guardian as well. Fill the early game with ramp and removal.
Wild Growth, Jasper Spellstone, Jade Blossom, Feral Rage, Wrath, etc.
The real problem with the whole recruit thing is drawing your 4 and 3-drops before the synergy cards.
Ironforge Portal, but this time for druids.
