Aside from the power level, can we talk about the art of Dreampetal Florist? She's freaking adorable! And the art is super high quality.

I'm not sure this one is that great. It sounds like one of those cards that has a cool or really powerful effect but won't quite make it into the archetype. 7 mana 4/4 body is really weak, and will almost always be removed next turn, and if it doesnt hit your combo piece (which is what I assume people will try to use this on) then its probably going to be a very bad card to play. 

I know druid has ways to get to 7 mana faster than other classes, but I don't know, we already got good combo synergy cards in this expansion, and I dont see this one making the cut. Therefore I'm giving my rating to Bad

So what I am getting from this expansion is this. Rogue and Druid are going to be heavy on the otk combos. Shudderwock will get ran over by them and revert to a token based bloodlust list. Warlock will run over token based lists and go hard in with the combo disruption. Warrior and hunter will be locked in an eternal battle for which hero card offers better value while simultaneously feasting on warlock. Little changes in mage and paladin but they hold a spot in the meta anyways. Priest is a wild card. 

Should be an interesting meta. 

wwwwwwwhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaAAAAAATTTT?!?!?!?!

 And we are not even done with all the card reveals yet.  Though your analysis seems on point.  Unless they pull a fast one and Hall of Fame Malygos.  I have a bad feeling that they might.  That would change everything.

Dreampetal Florist + Drakkari Enchanter = double discount for 10-mana (e.g. Malygos costs 2 and Ixlid, fungal lord/faceless manipulator cost zero). This is less meta-defining than it is absolutely cancerous.

This is what is gonna put Togwaggle druid in standard.

I’m not normally one to make Doomsday style predictions but.... so many tier 1 Druid decks.   Add combo to taunt, token, and ramp.  They have lots of control tools, draw, and survival cards to make this happen.

Team 5 stahp plz 

I hate playing the Flavor of the month decks......BUT, i do have a GOLDEN MALYGOS(the only golden leg i never disenchanted)

One thing to consider is that this card gets obliterated by Demonic Project, you will likely only have one minion in hand when you play this so Demonic Project is guaranteed to hit. I really don't like the idea that only one class has a fair counter to Druid but there is one that does

Lady in White was a totally different case because she couldn't be tutored and any deck centered around her just doesn't work if you don't draw her. You may even check the comments in that thread, I made a point about that before the WW release.

This card is different because it's possible to tutor it out of your deck along with the minion(s) that you want its effect to land on. It's going to be super consistent.

 How do you tutor her?

She's not 1,2,3 attack (Oakhearth), nor a 4-cost mana (Oaken summons), nor a 8-mana (7-mana 3-3 recruit a minion).

Am I missing something?

 He refers to Juicy Psychmelon I guess. But you have to have it in hand before turn 4 as well, and it's not guaranteed.

As for Ilfirinor's post:

Yes, Lady in White is weaker than Dreampetal Florist, it's obvious. But if Lady in White saw hardly any play at all, Dreampetal Florist will see play, it might be T1 deck for sure, but not that OMGOPOPOP as most of people here scream.

 Maly is ALREADY a tier one deck, what are you talking about.  These cards not only make Maly stronger, but they also completely enable Tazalina Druid in standard.  

Oh and druids getting two cards with ramp isn't "ideal" situations it's super super common.  It's going to be MORE common since they got a new ramp card to go along with the rest of this ridiculousness.

But I do agree, we should't completely lose our shit yet.  The way to beat these combo decks is through out right super aggression.  The question is whether or not we get the tools needed to do that.  At this point I am not seeing it.  I am seeing some slower aggressive cards, but nothing too fast. Actually I am seeing some straight up anti aggro cards.  But we have more cards to go.  So it's still possible.  But if you don't think Druid is looking incredibly strong at the moment I have to question how much you have played it.

Looks like an aggro meta...

This card is so absurdly Strong, its rediculous. Only question is if there is a Dirty Rat Card thats not warlock only in this set. But than Druids can just play Big druid, maybe with Mech Cthun, still stomping everything else.

OK Blizzard! We all get the joke!  Yes the expansion is about Dr. Boom.  Not every other card has to have all 7s on it!  Dr. Boom, Mad Genius and Star Aligner are enough.  Stop throwing random 7s on these cards especially when it comes to mana reduction and OP classes!

Looks like ramp will be Real

 And it’s about Lasers! 

Dont forget Lasers ! When Ben Brode asked for Lasers, they gave him! 

Underpowered Mechs and useless Healcards..... at least there is a Laser in the art of some cards I guess....
