I'm really excited for druid to have another new archetype with the new seemingly easy to complete quest. The deck will consist of most of the existing choose one cards and hopefully that card type will have some new additions in the upcoming reveal schedule. with the new hero power activated most of the minions and spells will be the best mana value minions and spells in the game on average. Simply put War Druid Loti will be the best 3 drop that the game has ever seen...maybe. I really do believe the dev team has hit a home run with these new quests turning into immediate passive hero powers. I didn't think we would be seeing quests again this soon, also i didn't think i would be as excited for a new expansion as i was for RoS and i was initially bummed out at seeing the saviors of uldum expansion because it looked like a recycle. But after the first few card reviews and the fact that league explorers only had like 45 cards i think this expansion will be great.
Out of all the cards only Bees seems like it could lead to some unexpected decks. The rest seem very shoe-horned into specific decks and not strong enough to make a difference.
Choose-one quest will need a lot of support from the remaining cards to make a viable deck.

Yes, bees is the only good druid card this expansion so far
The quest is a joke. Even disregarding the power level of the reward (which is very low), there's no druid deck in the world that can get away with skipping their first 5 turns without even hero powering. People typically don't kill you by turn 5, at least not in standard, but if you don't do anything until then, it's very likely
It's not hard to test just how bad the quest is really. Just queue a game, skip your first 5 turns and see how far you get. Bonus points for using druid, which has no board clears or efficient removal in standard. You can even imagine yourself making a 6 mana 5/5 and heal for 12 at the end. It won't save you when the opponent likely has over 5+12 damage on board
Frankly, as a druid main I'm upset this quest exists at all because it means we're unlikely to get a ramp card in the same set due to early cards being negative synergy with the quest. Ramp won't save the slow druid archetype from being dumpster tier by itself but at least it's a better start than these freeze shaman-esque shenanigans

Not a fan of the quest as I said, but you don't skip 5 turns, you play 5 turns with 1 mana less.
I'm fully confident that quest druid is gonna be great. the ability to create big boards or big minions turn after turn. Who knows though maybe token druid is just too good right now to need to try anything else.
