Meh Power of the Wild does pretty much the same stuff for 1 less mana, doesn't need to stick on board (pretty much everything can deal 2 damage), have a better body (3/2 for 2 instead of 2/2 for 3) and it actually combo with the new legendary, unlike this card. Playable, but nothing exceptional.

This card is a weaker Sword of Justice which rarely saw play, Paladin had/has more token generators and pretty much never played it. This card is potentially infinite, but with a body on the board it can be interacted with and removed unlike SoJ.

Druid now has tons of token generators, and the fact that this bear is 1 mana cheaper than the sword makes a huge difference.

 Other than Wisps of the Old gods what token generators does Druid have? Force of Nature and Living Roots. Force and Wisps are unplayable on their own and so is Addler

 Violet Teacher, Dragon Egg, Mire Keeper, several neutral cards that summon two minions simultaneously, (Dark Wispers in Wild). That's more than enough to build a deck.

Paladin is bad at token decks because it lacks the druid's AOE buffs. Sword of Justice is just not a great card for the class. Druids would use the hell out of that thing.

What you compared is synergy not card power levels.

 In both cases, the only power in the card comes from synergy. Without it, they are both terrible.

 That's not true. imagine an Addled Grizzly being 4/4 for 3 mana and another 1/1 for the same mana cost.

While the difference between those cards isnt that huge, one is stronger than the other and those 0.2 or 0.3 or whatever mana value differences add up in the long run.

 Yes, your imaginary card is powerful on its own. And it has nothing to do with the real cards we were comparing, which are both terrible without synergies.

 You dont get it? every card has its own value and you calculate that by adding all its benefits not just the synergy it provides, lol. its basic deckbuilding and so simple concept like i dont know what to say lol? u new in card games?

The cards i made up and compared have the same exact mana cost+effect/synergy in druid as the original Addled Grizzly but as you can see stats matter too aside the effect. My imaginary cards had a lot to do with Addled Grizzly. I made the difference in power so big so you could see the difference and reevaluate.

In case of Addled Grizzly vs Sword of Justice the difference isnt big but it exists and while both cards are pretty much terrible without synergies it doesnt mean one isnt stronger than the other. duh.

Playing cards that are even 5-10% stronger than other similar cards can add up in the long run of the game and those differences can even make up tier 1 decks from tier 2.

 My original comment was about synergy, though. I never said anything about overall power level. We weren't even talking about that before you butted in.

Why/how would a Grizzly give stats to other minions, much less a "addled" one? I don't get the lore concept.

It works very well with Echoing Ooze because the copied Ooze gets buffed again and you end up with a 2/3 and a 3/4 Ooze. The card is strong when you have a lot of deathrattles on the board ready to trade like a board buffed by Soul of the Forest. I'm running it with Egg Druid atm and it seems to fit in well.

Bringing this to the top. Combos well with Warden, but I admit my ignorance in deck building. What do better minds think about this is the possible future?
