Reminds me of the beast support druid got earlier on. Cards that buffed beasts, cards that copied beasts, cards that got cheaper the more beasts you summoned, etc. Didn't work, because it was midrange, and midrange doesn't work unless it's aggressive midrange (even shaman, prenerf even paladin) or insane tempo midrange (spiteful). Treant druid looks too plain old midrange to work. That's my impression.
Initially I thought this card was meh, but the simple fact that it is a mech makes it kinda scary. If there are some serious magnetic neutrals printed--e.g. Mulchmuncher + Zilliax = 11/10 lifesteal, taunt, divine shield, rush--and enough viable treant cards to make a token deck, this could do some serious damage.
If you can reduce it to 0-mana (living mana + soul of the forest), you can play Mulchmuncher + Zilliax + Faceless Manipulator to put a truly unreasonable number of stats on the board while healing for 22, killing two threats with no self-damage, then ending the turn with two 10-health taunts.
This, Splintergraft, and a late game turn Where you drop an 8/8 with RUSH, another 8/8, and then a 10/10 ALSO with RUSH. That seems like a pretty nice little package you get from adding one card to a Treant deck for a pretty nice late game swing turn. Now we just gotta see how good a Treant deck actually is.

You wanna be a sage, you gotta grow a beard. I don't make the rules.
well I dont know... maybe the full treant deck is great with this card. But what combo could be? 3-4 minions 8/8 with rush? Zola the Gorgon will have new friends :)
This card is good, but will it be played over the other strong Druid decks out there?
10 mana minion for Spiteful decks, with Rush is really good for board control where Spiteful decks don't normally have good board clears.
Mech for any synergies that pop up with Discovers and such.
Rush for immediate board impact.
I think if the token treant deck is good, this is the Sea Giant replacement. This is far better because it stays cheap regardless if your board gets cleared. It could be that the token decks run 2 types of Giants instead? That would be crazy.
So, it doesn't even have to in your hand to get discounted. Definitely super good in any deck that's based around Treants. It can very well be 0-Mana 8/8 Rush around turn 6-7.

This is how totemcruncher should have been
Those who are given more in life, must not cling to it, but risk it all at every moment!
Easily the new corridor creeper if treant druid ever becomes playable.
It's not rng if you call - Amaz
idk,look very scary but you need build around it. Probably will see play in token deck in first week

Why play this when you can Play Maly Druid which is clearly going to be Tier 1.
This and zillion replaces arcane tyrants in token Druid. The deck has very little wiggle room for tech choices...
I've been putting living mana in my token druid decks anyway, this guy is just gravy.
Those 3 receive mech synergy. The others can receive mech tag but that have nothing to do with mech synergy, it's only for the RP.
Love the tribes.
Spiteful summoning intensifies*
its pizdeyshen
Could be alright even in a deck with only Living Mana, since it will be at minimum a 5 mana 8/8 rush.
Hand treant druid?
Hey, at least he upgrades the 10-mana pool for spiteful decks.
Unpopular opinion: Rogue is OP

In wild i'm sure you could pull off another interesting otk with this card.
How exactly? It has rush, not charge.
