Druid will bet Tier 1 next meta. it can now deal with all the archetypes - Aggro,(coz Druid has Taunts), Midrange(coz Druid now has Board Clears and Taunts), Control(coz Druid always had Big Dudes), Combo(bcoz Druid has lots of way to gain Armor). I think the only deck type Druid will have a hard time against is tempo decks like Miracle Rogue, tempo Rogue and Tempo Mage
I think control priest may edge it out. the 1/2 poisionous is pretty good but it gives a lot of targets for priest shenanigans. But Druid is looking good. So is Paladin.
Druid seems to be getting quite a lot of Poison. While it's slow; it is a workaround to the fact that Druid has awful single-target removal for large minions.
1/5 taunt poisonous. Pretty good at protecting your Fandral. I see Fandral + Innervate + druid of the swarm on turn 4 and following up with nourish being a really strong turn 4 into 5. Not many classes will be able to plow through a 1/5 poisonous taunt AND kill Fandral on turn 4. And hell, druid can probably pull this off on turn 3 a lot of the time thanks to wild growth.
Having 8 mana on turn 5 with 3 cards in hand and a Fandral on board is a pretty explosive start to the game.
2 mana 1-5 taunt is super strong for Aggro/token Druid. It protects the board and has a low attack high HP body. If the forms also count as beasts, it would also have synergy with Mark of Y'Shaarj for draw. This won't see play in the decks that run fandral, because those decks are looking for more value and ramp, so they don't run 2 cost minions, but it will very likely replace Tar Creeper in aggro druid because of the lower mana cost and beast synergy.
What are you talking about. This card will shut down anything once buffed with 1 or 2 mana spells and tokens behind it. Plus there is the 3 mana taunt minion which is buffing its own health as well.
Wooow this is so nuts, new druid will be harder matchup for aggro than old patron warri lol.
This card is so bonkers, shuts aggro down on turn 2.
10/10
It stops aggro. Gives you time to ramp up into your Primordial Drake. it's game over for aggro when i put down my Primordial Drake.
Check out my entry for this week's Card Design Competition. Vote for it if you like it.
Will it be a beast?

Current Deck -http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/240420-army-paladin - Token Paladin
Even blizzard agrees that 5 mana summon 2 poisons 1/2s is stupid

This will see play, solid card. A 1/5 is good for token decks and snail for defensive options.
Top tier in Arena - Stubborn Gastropod is considered to be one of the best 2 drops so this will be even better with the Taunt option.
no its only a 1/5 taunt poisonous with fandral
Wild Malygos Freeze Mage
I don't think it's a beast. I believe they are supposed to be undead.
Goodbye aggro.
Disgusting card. Now you are never able to kill any tokens again. The best named card, I guess.
Do the transformed minions get a beast tag? If yes, then good night Hearthstone..
Hobgoblin Token druid looking pretty good with this thing and Crypt Lord!
No, probably just a 1/5 poison taunt, since things like Druid of the claw doesn't add its attack and defense to become an 8/10 charge taunt.
So lets be honest... a 2 mana 1/5 Taunt... meh
gastropod powercreep
very good on its own, insane with Fandral.
