I voted "very good" because the card is very strong in a bubble. But I think in order for this card to be played Ooze will need to be nerfed to a 2/2. Weapon destruction is such a powerful effect that ooze needs to take a stat penalty for it the same way harrison does. Yes I know Harrison's effect is more powerful than ooze, but Harrison is much less convenient because he eats your turn at his mana cost which makes his effect fair.

I see it as a third Violet Teacher teacher for token Druid, one that provides bigger minions. This card is the best one we've seen yet from Kara. It requires Tirion levels of removal (a minimum of two cards).

Moroes looks 10x more appealing to me.  

Ah, so you're just not good at evaluating cards. Got it!

 No, just because I can see a spot for Moroes in way more decks then Medivh. So far all my predictions regarding Old Gods were right, Twilight Summoner for instance, people kept telling me how crazy good it was and I kept telling them it's just too slow and overall a bad card. Look now, no one is playing it. Even Pro players missevaluate cards because for some reason shiny new things always look OP. We are not even close to the legendaries from LoE quality wise.
Anyway I might be wrong but I'm pretty sure I'm not and If you can't accept people thinking differently than you and you flame them, just don't post please.

If this becomes popular, ooze/harrison will be must tech card.

Unless you SMOrc your opponent down before turn 8.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY THIS HAS A COMMA??!!! Shouldn't it be, "Medivh, Guardian" or "Medivh the Guardian"? Consistency, please! How about "Medivh, Guardian Medivh - License to Spell" or "Medivh a.k.a The Guardian" or "medivh... THE guardian"

Holy schmolly that's good.

This card will be huge in Control Priest.  This will allow Priest to swap some late game cards it would typical use into early game to sustain focused on getting to that turn 10 Mind Control win condition.  Also could be pretty sick in Freeze Mage.

Very cool.  Love the precedent it sets for wands/staffs.  But..

The way I see the game right now is that it is extremely hard to win with value.  You win with either Tempo and/or Burst.  Value is generally too slow to survive vs. either.  And this is a value card.

So, unless they load us up with Sludge Belchers and Healbots, I don't see this card getting play outside of the occasional copycat burst after a Streamer plays one online.

 hmmm. except your wrong.. twilight summoner is a win condition for the paly N'zoth deck vs brawl or other board clears. 

 

 Except I'm not, I think I've seen one player playing Twilight Summoner in over a month, even in N'Zoth Pally. I've just checked the 3 first most popular N'Zoth pally lists, none is playing it.
Instead of trying to prove me I'm wrong, prove me you're right about Medivh and give me concrete situations where you could use him, I'm curious.

Wow! Look at all these people evaluating the card exactly the same! If only I had a penny for every time the word 'slow' or 'Rafaam' was posted in this thread.

Playable, but pretty slow. I'm pretty sure the weapon procs after Call of the Wild/Soul of the Forest, which makes makes me quite a bit less excited to play it. Reno Mage seems cool, and it seems pretty good with Enter the Collesium. Priest could get value out of Medivh, but it still doesn't fix their early game/4 attack problems. Can't think of many combos, but maybe Medivh is fine as just pure value.

It's mana cost is pretty steep but I still think it's going to see a lot of play.

@davidwizard : If you see Moroes just like that then you're missing a huge part. There is a thing called Divine Shield for example. Except Warrior that has a lot of small board clears (not even all of them), I can protect him easily. Or simply in token druid, I can buff him. Anyways, enough off-topic. Let's agree to disagree.

@Nicholasjh : I see your point but can the yogg and load deck can afford to spend 8 mana to get random value the following turn? Even moreso if you Thaurissan your spells, you'll get smaller minions which turn out to be completely irrelevant. My problem with Medivh is that he's counterintuitive, the classes that might play him like Priest or Mage usually need to use their spells before turn 8 to just survive. It's a bit less true for Mage but Priest can't afford to keep spells like Entomb or Holy Nova in hand for instance. The only case Medivh would be relevant imo is if you play a heavy fatigue match up, you play Medivh and then you play Mind Control but then you have to take out another card to add Mind Control.
He's too slow against aggro and probably inconsistent against control imo. I'll make a deck with him for sure at least to see for myself plus we haven't seen all the cards yet.

Well, we got 4 shit legendaries, it was about damn time that we got a super powerful one :D

 We got one shit legendary and another that's only bad because Ravaging Ghoul is everywhere.

 And whirlwind, swipe, wild pyro, arcane explosion, explosive trap,  fan of knives, lightning storm, tentacle of n'zoth and this is only cheap removals.

I can't be the only one who thinks this is not as good as it appears. It's debatable whether or not the staff is better or worse than summoning stone, alongside being weak to weapon removal. Sure it has good value, but it's a bit too slow and clunky. We'll see.

 It is true that it's weak to weapon removal.... the thing is weapon removal could leave Medivh up, which helps to maintain the board... I'm still not sure about the value trade, but if weapon removal plus removing Medivh uses most of your turn than the Medivh player might end up ahead. or at least as an even trade... 2 cards to remove 1 card.... etc... though obviously you're left with the acidic swamp ooze or harrison and extra cards... so maybe you're correct.

 Medivh is as much a value card as it is a tempo card dude, can't you see it ?

Tirion is a value+tempo card as well and look it's the best legendary in the game. (i'm not saying Medivh is as good as tirion, it generates slightly less tempo and slightly more value and it's fine because it's a neutral card)

And as far as I know tirion hasn't been destroyed by the existence of Ooze/Harisson.
