Not saying this is bad, but it's not plain better than loot hoarder. Loot hoarder doesn't require a beast on the board, which is not likely on turn 2, and this forces you to put more stats into one card which is risky.
Best beast matters druid card. Its definitely good. Pretty stoked. Druid just needs another good beast or beast matters card and the deck might be a thing.
And btw is it just or me, or is the art in this set just by far the best?
Turn 1, Young Dragonhawk, no one ever removes that Turn 2, Mark of Y'Shaarj, Innervate, Mark of Y'Shaarj, Innervate, Mark of the Wild, attack twice for 14 damage Turn 3, ???? Win.
Turn 3, ???? Win.
or lose.
But seriously this card is among the best 2 mana value cards ever.
A cycling buff? Damn that's really good and cheap too! I would usually consider a card like this 3 mana but I guess with the limitation of just beasts it comes back down to 2. This might be the tipping point for beast druid in standard!
You've probably been stuck at Rank 20 for a while if you think a 2 mana 2/2 'draw a card' is 'garbage'.
Except it's not that. It has to be played on a beast. Beast druid has never been a thing and I never think it will.
wow how does that make any sense? they are pushing it with good cards. also the classic set gets revised cards with the new expansion.There is no way in the world you can be sure if beast druid will be a thing or not and it most likely will be.
You saying "it most likely will be" and me saying :I never think it will" is pretty much the same thing, so i could say the exact same thing to you "there is no way in the world you could be sure if beast druid will be a thing or not"
Also, i distinctly remember people saying similar things back when TGT came out, and the beast cards from that seem better than this card.
Except he has logic and the fact that Blizzard is clearly pushing Beast Druid on his side. You have...nothing.
I have the fact that beast druid has never worked in the past even though it has gotten decent support and this card sure has hell won't make it a thing. If beast druid isn't played, this card isn't played.
Why are people getting salty over my damn opinion?

I returned to this game much like how a recovering alcoholic can relapse.
Historically, it really seems to only take 4 really good cards to push a deck from bleh to viable.
The best example is Mech Mage, which dominated the ladder for a few months during GvG. Why was it good and not all the other classes? Snow Chugger and Goblin Blastmage were just sufficiently better than the synergy mech class cards the other classes got.
So ... will this card push beast druid over the edge...? Maybe? It's certainly in the high synergy power zone.
The fact that this can target enemy minions is a nice touch. It could allow you to cycle for lethal if you're in a pinch (provided your opponent has a beast).

Damn good card. I have no idea how people are saying it's not great. You need something on the board (not hard at all with druid right now) but it's better than shiv if you run beasts.
No you don't need something, you need a beast. While it's not that hard, it's still conditional.
Conditional, perhaps, but only in a trivial way.
If you have only beasts in your deck, the condition is always met.

Blizzard has been pushing beast druid hard for the last couple expansions and continues to do so but they dont give druid an anti aggro beast with taunt to make it viable...they need to give beast druid a card like they did for dragon priest. The 2 drop 2/4 with taunt...
Druid of the fang is leaving, and beast druid has never been a thing. Just a weak deck. This can help it...however not enough to make a competitive beast deck.
If Druid gets a 1-drop thats a beast then this card becomes 10 times better. Otherwise, right now its just mediocre. Its impossible to tell how good this card will be without seeing what other beasts they give them this set but if it does end up decent then obviously you would put this card in there.
Power Word: Shield is already one of the best cards in the game but a part of that is because its only 1-mana. This card is a conditional Power Word: Shield for one more for a better buff. When you get it off this card is amazing. If you don't, it's a slightly worse Mark of the Wild.

????Win.Is this worth playing outside of beast druid? There are a number of beasts in ramp and even mid range.

high priest of shenanigans!

Good, I want Beast druid to be viable. I still hope for more pirates. Let's make pirate rogue great again!
This is super good. If beast druid becomes a thing it will definitely be played.

I'm always open for cards pushing new deck types.

Very nice! Druid needs more card draw!
