Get Call since it's only epic.  Princess can prob be replaced with a 5 mana minion like Ram Wrangler even tho it's kind of random

edit to above: Forlorn can be really good or no effect, depends on your hand.  But it's pretty cool when it works.

You still do not get it . You are only calculating the draw option. There is a healing option as well. You are drawing a card which is 1 mana usually plus a 5 mana cost 5/5 + 1 mana for the versatility of choose effect. 

Ps. I love seeing druids cry about this , in my eyes alwasy was a very overpowered card.

For all you guys comparing this to Azure Drake, seriously, you purposely forgot that it has a choose one option, which itself is around 1 mana . Well done Blizzard ,well done .

Agree here, changed from must-have to "can fit in some decks". I like it

This thread sort of tells the story of how nerfing one card will immediately make another one seem op. Azure Drake is probably pushing against the edge of OP and they just put Ancient of Lore right in the middle of power level. This means that you run AoL when you think you may want heal, but not in a typical Druid list which is fine.

Wow, what a pity. From Hero to Zero.

5/5 Body for 5 mana (just acceptable) and 2 Cards for 2 mana (pretty good)

5/5 Body for 5 mana (still acceptable) and 1 Card for 2 mana (overpriced).

Not a staple any more. And a bad decision in my opinion.

Good riddance. I always thought of lore as one of the most overpowered druid cards, it just goes under the radar of most players because it's effect doesn't win games. Try playing aggro druid(a deck that doesn't run lore) and see how much of a difference the card does to your consistency.

Thing is this card is supposed to be versatile . If you want to draw cards go nourish or Azure but in its current state was insane value and auto include. You should not be able to both be versatile to fit situations, for example healing vs aggro, and still be that insane value when you draw. Just my opinion

People are saying "7 mana 5/5 draw a card, its garbage". Wrong.

Design wise it is an OK card because of the flexibility implied on Choose One. Which represents around 0.5 to 1 mana of the value. It may not see as much play as before but that's what a nerf is about, the card is not dead as Blade Flurry though.

This is absolute bullshit.  Nerf/delete the combo all you want, Blizzard... But this nerf is completely unnecessary.  AoL has been my favorite card since I started playing.  Horrible value now.  RIP.
