If the card would work like Thing from Below is would be run in beast druid already, but sadly it isnt. And that's the reason it prolly won't see play.
Expect to see this card again now that beast Druid will be absolute bonkers
best deathsound ever
If this were a Hunter card, the combos with Unleash the Hounds would be soooo cute.
For everyone asking whether this requires the card to be in your hand (and others who are just interested in comparing cards) check out the textual difference between these two cards.
"...for each time you summoned a Beast this game..." would (apparently) be the language you are looking for.

I just played a game with Knight of the Wild and he didn't get a reduction until he was in my hand.
Sadness...
while the hand reduction isn't the best atleast it is viable thanks to the TGT release cards for druid as well. beast druid atleast works which makes me happy enough.
yes sadly, it didn't say so on the card, but when i played like 50 beasts and when I drew it, it still cost 7.
Yeah it was a complete disappointment :(
Comparing this to Bolvar Fordragon...
Best case scenario. Knight of the Wild. is a zero mana 6/6. Bolvar is a five mana ~20/7 which can get silenced. Advantage: Knight of the Wild.
Worst case scenario. Knight of the Wild is a seven mana 6/6. Bolvar is a five mana 1/7. Advantage: Knight of the Wild.
Liek Bolvar it's going to be one of those clunky cards you will want in your starter hand despite your inability to actually play them, sacrificing flexibility to gain value.But I wonder if it will be good enough.I mean paladin can force Bolvar to work if you draw him later with recruits and muster.Druid lack beast flooding.But in general the card has better potencial than Bolvar as it can't be BGH'ed or silenced.And you have a better shot at drawing it since you can have two copies of it in your deck.
So will this effect trigger with the choose one druids?
from the stream yes!,yes it definitely do!
Be interesting to see when we actually see a solid druid deck focused around beast synergy. This looks like an interesting card and even without focusing on beast's it still get's a decent discount from other druids cards right? Might see some play.
This card is not bad, essentially what you want to do is to save this card in your hand like you wait with Shade of Naxxramas on board, but you don't want it in your starting hand. So it is late game minion that works well with control style of play. So you want to play it for 0-3 mana in the late game assuming that you have about 8 beasts in the deck.
The idea of turn 4 play is also nice but it requires you to draw three beasts/spells that summons beasts that you will be able to play on previous turns which is unrealistic, you can't count on it in a solid deck. But when it happens it is awesome.
I think Druid of the Fang outclasses this card. You are never going to get the cost down enough where its worth it.
It works as a complement to Druid of the Fang, they do have similar roles but you have double the chance of drawing drawing either this or druid of the fang if you include both of them in your deck.
So Druids of Druids will become a thing, it's nice that they do want us to use class cards more than neutral ones this time.
Blizzard sure is trying to make Druid Beast Decks a thing huh XD?
So stoked this expansion is encouraging new deck archetypes :D
