I really don't see this being any good unless we get something else this expansion that will support playing this which is quite possible seeing as we've only seen a fraction of the set so far, we'll have to wait and see, but with cards like defile and duskbreaker still around and even the new warrior echo card it's hard to see.
How are you going to have 7 cards in hand on Turn 3 (after you've burned the coin and this card)?
3 trash cards for Druids so far. Great.
Not with coin, but with wild growth. And maybe a 5/5 or 6/6 worth of stats is still good.
5 1/1's is substantially worse at that point than a 5/5 is. And it's not going to be a 5/5, it's going to be a 3/3 or something. This does not work in the early game, actually sit down and look at how big your hand would be. This is a combo card with other buffs (MotW etc.)
Ya this seems like 100 dust to me... its a weaker Living Mana that has limitations. I'm not a token Druid player so I really don't see the upside to this card comparatively.
This seems pretty okay. If you can consistently get 7 Wisps on turn 4, then that's probably going to wreck a lot of aggro decks. Might have some application, we'll see if the new archetype can compete with the ramp package though.
This can easily be equivalent to Stand Against Darkness, which sees tons of play right now in Dude Paladin decks. The only question is whether or not Druid will be able to get the cheap buffs they need to make this valuable after Mark of the Lotus rotates.

Stand Against Darkness is still a bad card. It works because paladin got an overpowered legendary in Sunkeeper Tarim two expansions and an adventure after its printing in Old Gods, and then an absolutely broken epic in Call to Arms two more expansions after that! Add in some decent synergy cards and you get a deck that's almost as good as murloc paladin which also uses the aforementioned cheese cards. I bet people who called SAD a trash card are the sad ones now. /s
So at the end of the year following the year of the raven, after druid gets some otherwise universally powerful cards and some good wisp synergy, people can feel vindicated in defending this. :)

First of all this looks like they ripped some artwork of that Fox-Tribe in HEX.
Second this card will be great in a Genn Greymane tempo druid deck that has late game transitioning potential but wants to consistently finish turn 5-7.
Third the Legendaries will support this new tempo hand druid.
Did he get re-hired after getting a disguise, a name change and a new identity?
Blizzard isn't Tolkien or Martin - they aren't known for their seriousness. Or, rather, they marry the cheese with "high epic fantasy" of the world always being in dire danger of ending.
It's like putting Jar Jar Binks in Game of Thrones. Blizzard's ideology is to provide the seriousness of high epic fantasy, with it's outrageously dramatic cut scenes, but cutting that seriousness to the bone with high camp cheese goofiness. So the goofiness of Medivh in One Night in Karazhan is followed by the dire tragedy of The Lich King in The Frozen Throne.
It's having your cake and eating it too. It's moderating emotion - making sure the serious never gets too serious and the campy never gets too campy. You might call that cowardice - never committing to one vision, or one direction. It's like a see-saw, back and forth, back and forth, or like a circle, going round and round and never going anywhere.

Goes well with Savage Roar if they stay on board for a turn
I think I might have hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia.
Bad. Even in Token Druid as your hand is usually empty and you're hoping to top deck Living Mana. Especially bad with the loss of Mark of the Lotus.
Turn 4: this, Turn 5: Innervate x2 savage roar lethal! OPOP
why 4 mana ?
if this card cost 3 mana at least you can play on curve after witchwood apple,4 mana for full 1/1 board isn't something amazing

I will crush you!
Token Druid was a legitimate deck a few years ago. Oaken Summons and Violet Teacher play well together.
The incentive to go more "aggro" is lessened because Mark of the Lotus is rotating, so the deck is necessarily slower.
I think there's potential here.

great with mark of lotu... wait.
pathetic card
The cards this works best with are rotating out (Mark of the Lotus, Addled Grizzly, Pilfered Power, Wisps of the Old Gods). But it also works with Power of the Wild, Branching Paths, Evolving Spores, Soul of the Forest, Fatespinner, Cenarius and Sea Giant. So unless there are new hand size cards incoming, I'm meh on this card.
Kaladin's RoS Set Review
Join me at Out of Cards!
So the druid set has been revealed. Sadly they didn't get a board buffing spell, meaning that the druids won't have good ways to utilize this spell/
