Failfish isn't big enough. We need: FailWhale.

This minion can also be good against Sylvannas and counter pretty much any form of Priest mind control.

By any I assume you mean just Cabal? Because that's all it "counters" and even then by turn 6 they won't care anyway.

I alsoo thought about things like Midngames and Shadow Madness. You don't want to Shadow Madness this minion, because suiciding it would destroy your mana crystal, and mindgames would A) Put a minion on your board that is 2 mana less in value then the actual spell, and B) also likely destroy your mana crystal.

This minion can also be good against Sylvannas and counter pretty much any form of Priest mind control.

Quote from Wraith421 jump

If there was a spell that said "(0) draw a card" then almost every deck would play it.  Having a smaller deck is really good for most decks as it makes them more consistent.

LOL. I assume this is sarcasm.

Actually that statement is 100% true.  A spell that costs 0 and draws a card would be played in almost every deck.  

I see where you're going. But the problem I was originally referring to is that, in super-late-game, Wild Growth actual becomes 2 mana draw a card. 

Is that worth running in a deck? Assuming most 2 mana draw effects have an extra effect, I'd argue.

Instead of trying to fight this battle, I'll just say this:

Wild and Darnassus both become worse late game.  So talking about which is better late game seems illogical.

Quote from Firebolts jump

Because it only draws one card in exchange or one card. That's just waste of a space. Arcane Intellect atleast draws 2, which maks it worth. Drawing one and not leaving a body is just waste of a spot.

So Wild Growth is a waste of a spot and River Crocolisk is a good late game play now LOL?

Seriously this thread has it all.

Let me explain my point.

If there was a card in the game that read: Draw a card and it was a spell, would it see play? No, because that just reduced your deck to 28 cards.

Playing Wild Growth in the beginning is good, because you gain the mana crystal, but becomes a waste of 2 mana and a card when you gt to 10 mana.

Meanwhile, Aspirant gives you a body, even if it's small. You're not getting great value, but you're not wasting a deckslot late game. 

So a body for 2/3 is better then wasting a deckslot in the late game.

Quote from Abolitionist jump

Also Wild Growth is a horrid late game card as no one would put a zero mana Card in their deck that simply said "Draw a different card".

How is a vanilla 2/3 better than drawing a card late game?

Because it only draws one card in exchange or one card. That's just waste of a space. Arcane Intellect atleast draws 2, which maks it worth. Drawing one and not leaving a body is just waste of a spot.

Trump said that it might be worth using 2 copies of this card in conjunction with Innervate and Wild Growth in order to ramp up more consistently.

What's your take on this?

Why do I see Trump talking about how this card won't see play in his next review?

Someone please remove that part of my brain, please. I actually see a future for this card.

G4merguy predicted this!

Quote from EtherEnd jump

First card with both a deathrattle and battlecry effect.  

Toshley

Also Recombobulator.

Also counters:

Sylvannes.

Shredder.

Mass Dispel.

Quote from Fedes94 jump

I am pretty sure that this will give you an Excess Mana, she has the exact same text of a wild growth

Maybe. Maybe not. Arcane Golem and Nourish dont give you Excess Mana either.

But those two give FULL mana crystals. And the battlecry is worded exactly like Wild Growth.

Quote from blake0392 jump

The best thing this card does is be early tempo and late game draw a card once you have 10 mana that is a good flexible 2 drop that Druid doesn't have.

 

Can someone ask to the developers whether this minion generates an Excess Mana?

Quote from HiMyNameIsSander jump

Quote from tictactucroc jump

Since you're never going to silence your own minion, this is actually.. a Crocolisk ? Not interested. Why play this card when I can play Wild growth ?

Because if your opponent can't deal with it on turn 2, you'll get to play a 4-drop on turn 3. Even if it gets killed the turn after, you already gained an advantage by getting to play a 4-drop on turn 3.

The dream: turn 2 this guy, turn 3 Savage Combatant, now your opponent can't coin his shredder.
