How do you guys feel about this card as tech in a druid deck? It combos nicely with Keeper of the Grove, Ancient of Lore, Black Knight, Azure Drake, etc. I just don't know what to drop in my deck for one. What do you think?

IMO its not a good deal to draw a card for 5 or 2 for 7. Its ok with Keeper of the Grove, sometimes it can be good with Black Knight. But the general idea is to use it with cheap minions, only for the battlecry, like BGH or owl. I dont think its good in druid, maybe in handlock its better.
EDIT: It would be better if you could change the Druid of the Claw buff after using Brewmaster on it, but sadly thats not how Heartstone works :(
Yeah it is good in handlock also. I used it on a BGH and killed a rag and a super combo frothing
I think it is a fine card. Dunno if I'd be more incline to run it over, say, a Crazed Alchemist these days though. But I don't think it's a bad move to run a youthful brew, especially in slow decks.
ive never been a fan of boomeranging my own stuff, seems more use full as an offensive ability. That being said im sure it works, just not worth my Ancient Watchers or Harvest Golems and thats the slot its filling
In a decent scenario, think of it as having the youthful brewmaster draw a card for you! Except you know exactly what the card is going to be. And you lose said card (Preferably heavily damaged and with a notable battlecry). And there you have it, awesomeness.
I'd run Youthful Brewmaster 1/deck as a staple. It's a situational drop, one per deck. You don't necessarily use it on that 4-drop 2/4 to get Battlecry again. No, you use the 2/4 in combat so it's messed up first, *then* you bounce. I've bounced so many fatties and medium fatties in Druid decks.
I don't think I would ever bounce an Azure Drake though. Just let it die.
This is my 2nd week playing Hearthstone. Is my advice any good? =3 decide for yourself!

If you find that funny, well and good. If you find that sad, that's even better.
@Sutty101: Don't recall if this is right or not, but aren't you making a point of running non-legend decks or something? (peers at signature) Is that a fairly regular thing, or just for your blog?

Oh, I started the non-legendary thing initially just as a reason to start playing constructed again... and I found it so much fun that I started to blog about it after the fact. So yeah, it was a regular thing, I did/would do it anyways without a blog.
@Sutty101: Would you say run Crazed Alchemist in *addition* to Nat Pagle if you had all the cards, or would you say run Alchemist *instead* of Pagle (again assuming you have the choice), or would you say Alchemist is part of a solid low-budget deck composition, but that it is not part of a high-budget composition?
And going back to the OP, where would you see Youthful Brewmaster in that mix of running low budget decks versus high budget decks?

It's an interesting card, but I wouldn't really play it in druid. At least not in the traditional midrange version.

I'm so glad there is prejudice against playing hunter/zoo/[insert FotM deck here]. People like that make the life so much easier for those of us who play to win.

It works well in charge heavy decks, or in battle cry heavy decks - i can see it working late game for you to silence a minion, or get 2 dmg - but i think it really works well within alot of the agro builds out there.
I Love this Card I stole the idea to make a paladin based bounce deck aka Bounadin and it was the most fun i have ever had with a deck.This seems to be a similar idea. The biggest issue I had with that deck is the huge loss of tempo you end up with after you play a Brew Master. It gains great card advantage being able to reuse battle cries but your essentially sapping your own minions and at higher ranks that just hurts. it would be better if it reduced the cost of the returned minion even by 1.

I'd run both Nat Pagle and Crazed Alchemist in the current meta. But that's just me, not sure if I recommend it. :P
In terms of Youthful Brew, it's not so much about budget, it's more about the style of deck. It allows you to re-use charge minions, like at 10 mana you could get x2 Leeroy attacks, or you could get to reuse a Keeper of the Grove battlecry. So it goes either way, really. Just really based on the quality/amount of battlecry minions that you run.
Actually it's a great card if you know how to play it. I made a budget Shaman deck with Youthfulx2 and Ancientx2 and Crazed Alchemistx2, and have had some great fun with it.
The important aspect is to have early board control, then you can attack with minions to clear the opponent minions, bounce, and replay the minion, gaining card advantage for 2 mana. Then you use the ancient ones for a better minion and recovering your youthful, if it survived, for another combo. It makes for a very confusing and unexpected playstyle, with tons of decision making.

Youthful Brewmaster

I have been looking at the same thing actually
Yeah it is good in handlock also. I used it on a BGH and killed a rag and a super combo frothing
Tink, BGH combos work great.
Would it be used more if it had 2/3?
Not really druid specific, however it's great to return a silenced card, (such as nat pagle or taunt, or the 4/1 yeti, etc. Gives you a second chance.
Not sure if hyped yet.

You mean token druid / Roar? Er, what that card is, gives things +2 attack. If that's what you mean, I think I'd agree.
