A decent Druid card? There hasn’t been one yet. The best class cards are mediocre and the worst ungodly people bad. None of the strong neutrals really seems to mesh either.
Horrible card. You play it. Your opponent plays their best card for free, then Spellbreaker or Hex or Deadly Shot or Polymorph or Siphon Soul or by other removal.
As it stands this is one of the worst legendaries ever.
Why would you play this? It would totally backfire and cost you the game half the time, when your opponent plunked down 8-10 cost card and then hex/poly/deadlyshot/SWP/silence/etcetcetc.
The correct card to compare this to is Fire Elemental.
Advantages: Darius costs one less, gets bigger each turn if the opponent cannot play around it or kill it, can deal up to four damage, and synergizes with both Rush-related and Damage-related cards
Disadvantages: Fire Elemental’s three damage has no target restriction, it has a bigger body (6/5 vs 6/3 to 6/6 for Darius), and synergizes with elemental cards.
Here is how my family will spend our $121 per month cut
1: $50 each into the Roth, HSA and 529 to offset future cuts to Social Security, Medicare and higher education
2: $50 each to anti-poverty and environmental charities, to offset cuts to relevant programs
3: The rest will be saved to cover increased fees and interest rates, repairs after we hit an unfilled pothole, or whatever other crap comes from the spending cuts and ballooning deficits these tax cuts will cause.
If you go f2p, you can still afford around two T1/2 decks. But you kind of have to stick to the same few classes for multiple cycles because you won’t have the dust to change over a class more than once a year or so.
Or you can continue to spend $50-$150 per expansion and increase the number of decks you can access. Beyond $150, you are buying gold cards.

Replace “these cards” with “everything released so far” and your post is spot on.
We are caught between the Call to Arms and Cube/Gul’dan vice, and I see no escape.

Fun, balanced cards, good art. Probably not T1 but playable. This is good design.

Current meta: (priest warlock paladin) > (rogue mage druid hunter) > (shaman warrior)
Obviously the solution is to give all the good cards to priest, paladins, hunters and warlocks.

Worse. Way worse.

That’s pretty balanced.

Dear Blizzard:
Please reveal the neutral STEAL A DEATHRATTLE card sooner rather than later.
Thanks,

I always save all my gold for the next expansion, so at about 5750 now, 7500 at expansion. 5k dust plus 8k incoming for Hall of Fame.

100% real numbers on our part, btw.

And give Force of Nature rush while you are at it. That card was killed deader than dead as well.
Ancient of Lore should be buffed to a 5/6 and the heal bumped to 7 as well.

If you have a kid, you shouldn’t be wasting a couple hours a day to play video games.
