I thought Druidstone with jades in KFT was bad. I can't wait to play Druidstone with Malygos and get hit for 50 plus damage.
No, this is not even close to KFT. This card is broken, but nothing close to the original spreading plague and Innervate was the best card in all of HS. Plus, as long as you run weapon removal, maximum Maly damage if the maly is reduced is Maly (2)+ Taldaram (3) + Floop (4) + Moonfire+ Moonfire for 32. This means you don't run Oaken or Ferocious Howl in all likelyhood, so I bet you aren't getting OTKed to often
Seriously though, while the effect is obviously really good I think people are kneejerk overrating the card. You can't consistently pick the card you want to reduce in cost and it's also really bad for tempo. Even with ramp it's still a measly 4/4 and probably won't survive a single turn.
Edit: OH FUCK IT SAYS MINION. CHANGED MY MIND, THIS IS REALLY GOOD FOR COMBO DECKS *SWEATS*

It reduces the cost of minions. Not spells. So you do get to pick the card you want to reduce by playing that new melon spell.

It says "minion" if your only minion in hand is malygos ( o whoever minion is key in your estrategy) you can pick it.
Strong, but Tempo loss and RNG dependant. Surely combo Druid got great tools here.
But Combo decks cannot just equip combo cards: if they do so, they succumb to Aggro. Combo decks must optimise and choose their combo cards.
This means that this card will probably see play, but it will simply be an adjustment to current Combo and maybe Big Druid (eg making Twig obsolete). It won't warp the meta to Druidstone.
Even if that is the case, you can be sure Warlocks will rise with Demonic Project, and possibly some others with (new) techs (Wild is already equipped for it).
Absolutely broken in Malygos deck, and even if you use it in big druid: 3 mana Tyrantus, 2 mana Oakheart etc - seems balanced. And imagine if you’re used biology project-wild growth , into nourish next turn, into this, then next turn play reduced cost super big minion-removal on enemy board. Man, druids will be pure cancer..
Playing stuff for free/heavily usually causes serious balance challenges. I would be very suprised should this card become the exception. Potential wise it is definitly meta defining.
"We dont like OTK combos"
Really? F U Blizzard.
Bring back Splintergraft 2018

I hope you know what you're doing Team 5
100 Dust. You just die next few turns if start play card like this. Work only on rank 25-15
Hypnotized by the druids.
Wth. The melon draws you this card + malygos... I guess blizzard really loves druid...

Aaaaand here is the perfect 7 drop for all people who thought Druid wouldn’t have something good for their Melon!
ok,now this is inexcusable,i demand an explanation from Blizzard
i mean druid is combo class,give it a card can discount 2-3 mana already very dangerous but this 7 mana ,what the actual fuck ???

Taking back my words. Nobody will play floop in malygos druid.

But this limits design space !!!!
Take a look at my card creations here in vojza's mini expansion topic.
More cards to support combo druid, yay....
