Hmm, Feels like it want's to be played in the Jade deck as an on curve play, or a later play for extra value. May be actually needed to keep a curve against aggro. Hard to evaluate.
Not a bad card for Druid as innervating out a minion the turn before that has 5 attack is something that CAN happen, obviously it doesn't really happen that much but I can see this card maybe seeing some kind of play for experimentation. In Arena it could be really really good however. On curve 3/3 in Arena isn't bad at all and if you get the battlecry off this card will get get great value.
Really really hard to get this effect on curve and because of that, I don't think I can rate this any higher than playable. In fact, because it's so hard to utilize on curve, it can be argued as worse (or as bad) as Second-Rate Bruiser. Of course, later in the game when you can more reliably get the effect to trigger, it becomes much better. So it's more like a 3 mana 5/5 that you likely can't play until at least turn 6+. So yeah, I'll stick with playable.
I'm going to playtest a bit with this card for sure - you'll very rarely activate this effect on turn 3 (and a turn 3 3/3 isn't great but in a pinch not the end of the world) but in the mid-game the tempo gain of dropping this and something else feels powerful - reminds me marginally of thing from below (like a fixed version imo)
I think this is a pretty well-designed carded pushing ramp druid. If you miss your ramp and need a body on the board, a 3/3 for 3 is decent. But, if you ramp up, this card will allow you to cheaply regain your lost tempo. Ramp up, play Ancient of War, then next turn play this card and a spell which will allow you to both play a threat and deal with the board. Cool idea for a card.

I didn't have a signature so Flux added one for me.

Very weak when played in curve. And on the late game you will rather play something else than a 5/5. Won't see alot of play.
Turn 2 => coin + Druid of the Flame
Turn 3 => this card... its the best scenario i could imagine for this
But yeah i don't think its solid enough
Solid arena pick.
this plus Magma Rager combo
♥ ¡hola mundo! ♥ hello world! ♥ привет мир! ♥ こにちわ せかい! ♥
I think this might work in aggro rogue. With Mark (and maybe Roar), your minions are easily reaching 5 attack.
Coin+Druid of the Saber into turn 2 Mark of Y'Shaarj happens a lot in that deck.

Wrong class to make this happen, but should be decent in Arena.
might see some play
I think this card and Fight Promoter are meant to be used with the new jade golem mechanic.
They really need to release more cards that are not intended to be played on curve. I like them.

Magma Rager buff.
Right class. Druid can innervate big minions early.
Kun + this? 7/7 and a 5/5 for 3 mana

i really like the artwork on this card, this could be used in some jade golem decks
