In my opinion, Juicy Psychmelon is overrated. See, while yes, the card can draw you your combo pieces, tech is a thing - and a strong one in this case. In fact, the only decks I can think of that it's good in are Hadronox and Togwaggle Druid - in which case, only one is a Combo deck. Malygos Druid doesn't run enough cards that fit the criteria to be worth running this in, which is often overlooked.
Togwaggle Druid is something I'm not too familiar with, though. Last I heard it wasn't that strong, yet apparently others think it is. It just doesn't seem good enough to me, to be honest.
What do you guys think? Oh, also....
inb4 i get flamed for having an opinion
Also - it's one of those cards that I feel is like the Hunter Quest or Countess Ashmore or the Uther DK. It just doesn't look too strong to me.
It's ok in standard, but too strong in wild. Togwaggle Druid is tier 1/2 in wild and the combo uses Azalina, Togwaggle, Aviana and Kun, so this card literally draws your entire combo.
Well, I don't think you just throw this card in the current Maly Druid decks and call it a day. It's going to take some playing to find the exact right spot. What makes the card so powerful in my opinion is how well it curves, you can play Wild Growth on 2, Juicy Psychmelon on your next turn, Nourish for mana after that, then start dropping the bombs you drew with your melon.
We need to see the card in action. Since druid has basically everything it needs to survive against aggro, and enough draw engine, maybe Juicy Psychmelon will not find a home on druid decks besides Togwaggle, which can be countered by Brann + Dirty Rat in wild.
It's 4 mana draw 4 SPECIFIC cards!What is there to argue?Just look Arcane Intellect one of the most played cards in mage. Then compare it to this for one more mana.
It is slightly overrated, I mean it is a really strong card, but it just won't find any place in standard meta.
Why?
1. There is no viable deck atm as far as I know that can make it draw 4 cards.
2. Bad against aggro. You are spending 4 mana to draw cards that you won't be able to use for 2-3-4 turns or so. By that time you might be dead already. Yeah the deck thickens, but still you spent 4 mana to basically do nothing against aggro. Branching Paths is more versatile in this way, since it draws cards and also can give you armor against aggro.
3. Pretty much dead/low value card later in the game.
4. Card draw is not something druid lacks right now, druid can cycle the deck really fast if he wants to.
5. Druid 4 mana slot is already really crowded and there are better/more versatile options.
The poll is stupidly senseless. Two options for the question whether it is overrated and three whether it is an op card or balanced. I think the card is slightly overrated, but also think it is slightly overpowered. Simply because the card is rated as meta defining and i think it is "merely" very strong (not call to arms for 4 or orifinal corridor creeper level). To give these options in one poll renders the poll useless

Broken for togg druid in wild. Meh card in other decks.
4 mana draw 4... it will be great at one point without question.
Imo it's good but not as good as people say it is
Don't mind me just passing by
Don’t think it’ll be playable in standard when the Boomsday hits.
Insane in wild though

Standard = yes
Wild = no

Ramp with druid in dorian and this.. run dragon hatchers, hadronox, lich king, a load of dragons and taunt druid has just gone mental...
If u dont draw dorian, u might have oakheart.. if u dont have oakheart u should by this stage have a dragon hatcher at least...
Think it will be a game changer for taunt druid giving multiple hadronox options
Yeah it’s overrated... if you have a brain damage.
