It's a slow jade blossom for a bit better body (unless ur running jade druid then it's much worse body)
This is clearly worse than Mire Keeper. A 3/3 is definitely more than 1 mana better than a 3/1 and mire keeper is a battle cry and this is a death rattle. That said Mire keeper is a staple in every non-aggro druid. If this card is almost as good it might just be good enough.
When jade blossom rotates out this will take it's place, might already be in every druid deck cause ramp is so good.
Is better than Mire Keeper, you can play this in turn 3 and don't is a terrible outcome from the 6 armor recruit spell.
Yes, that is an upside I didn't think of. You can pull them out and ramp up pretty consistently. I gotta change my vote to playable (since I think/hope the recruit mechanic will work in Druid).
Edit: Then again, pulling a 3/1 on turn 4 might not be good enough if you run recruit minions/spells as the tempo you get is pretty low. I am torn between playable and bad...

I think mire keepers 3/3 body is worth the extra mana and they essentially ramp on the same turn. However if your opponent kills it then it ramps on the same turn as jade blossom. The more I think about this card the more I think it'll be ran in every druid that currently runs ramp.
I just thought of something if this dies when you're already at 10 crystals do you get excess mana? If not this is a pretty dam awful top deck.
Probably. It'd be a pretty bad card otherwise.
yea, we were really missing some ramp stuff...
super disappointed blizzard...
In April Druid will be. They'll be back down to Wild Growth and Nourish. If this 'big deck' thing actually takes off in even a modest number of decks, druid is going to be in huge trouble when that happens without ramp.

Okay, the card is obviously good, nearly every ramping card in the game is. My question is, do Druids really need any more ramp and my followup question being, do Druids even want more ramp? Seriously, there's so many ramping tools for Druids now that it's actually pretty damn stale at this point. It's worse than evolve with shaman. I mean, we get it, it's a good mechanic but holy crap the unoriginality is getting old. I mean, these cards don't have to blow your mind or anything but something new and/or unique would be appreciated.

Is it though? If your opponent decides not to kill this after you play it on 3...
In this case the 1 health is not a weakness anymore, you trade for a opponent minion, get your ramp and have 4 manas free, what you will spend any way if playing with Mire Keeper instead.
Opponent always will kill this with hero power or 1 mana minions like Babling Book, it is too much tempo/card advantage for you if he allow you to trade with a 3 or 4 mana minion.
Oh more ramp for druid... greaaaat. This will see play, especially when Jade Blossom and Mire Keeper rotate. But even now as it increased ramp potential. Big Druid will run this, Jade Druid will run this, token Druid will run this... its not a great card, rather a very serviceable card... very playable.
Druid mana ramp is basically guaranteed with all these gain a mana crystal cards, you can have 10 in your deck now (including Nourish). I think this will make the old school Ramp Druid potentially viable since it might actually become faster than Jades.
cmon guys, they need to add some kind of a ramp card every year so that druids can play ramp decks at all.
and since druids are going to lose both and mire keeper and jade blosso this spring, it only makes sense for them to add 1 ramp card this and 1 next year.
It's not a "better" or "worse" anything. It gets the job done (ramp), and it forces a ping if opponent has a minion worth protecting. If it baits a silence, all the better; they'll probably wish they had it later.
Darnassus Aspirant saw lots of play even with a down side. This will absolutely see play. However, comparing it to Jade blossom and mire keeper just doesn't make sense. It's just another tool to help ramp early on.

which btw. is another ramp card that will be in standard for another yearno it wont, it's from MSoG).Okay, the card is obviously good, nearly every ramping card in the game is.

In ramp druid its actually a better jade blossom

Is anyone else disappointed this isn't a 5/1 mana rager, I really wanted to make an all rager deck one day.
Seems playable once Jade Blossom rotates out.

well timed imho
Can call this card Meta defining when Jade Blossom and Mire Keeper rotate out.
Even more consistent ramp to get faster to Ultimate BrokeBack.Good card.

I see this being big after Mire Keeper rotates out in the Spring
This is better than Jade Blossom with the new card that recruit minions.

The go-to ramp option for when mire keeper and jade blossom rotates out. Boring, but needed.
