As a Legend player, yes I can say I'm pretty good at the game. Honestly, it makes me sad to see people going crazy over 1 mana cheaper Mogu'shan Warden.
Time sink = experience. Experience = skill. Yes, I specifically logged in to tell you that. Jesus Christ, you'd think it was obvious.
For the card itself: as a Pirate Warrior player (cry me a river, it's a good, consistent, powerful deck) I can say that this card is not a problem. Not a bigger problem than a Tar Creeper, for example.
It's harder to remove specifically with Rusty Hook + Heroic Strike (it'll live, so I have to also invest, like, Patches the Pirate) on turn 3. But my non-one-drops will have a really easy time busting through it.
And it's obviously pretty worthless against... not even Control-decks, but rather any other deck. Even murlocs (the ones that matter) have more than 1 health.
Tar Creeper is simply better. That is all.
P.S. That is, unless there's a crazy synergy incoming. Druid might recieve a card that says "Whenever you summon a minion with 1 attack, make smth happen", since Druids already received that one card that summons several 1\5 taunt minions.
There is definitely an element of time-sink involved with getting Legend, especially in ranks 5-1 because of the lack of win-streaks, but saying there's no skill is a dis-service to players who get that far. It's not quite monkeys with typewriters: you'll likely have some free wins but also some auto-losses, it's the inbetween where you actually need to think.
I've done it twice, and unless they change the end-of-month chest to have a Golden Legendary in it for Legend players, I doubt I'll ever bother doing it again. It's a pretty messy, and usually unfun, grind.
So... they're really trying to make taunt Druid happen, huh?
3 mana 1/6? Uugh, OK...
.
Oh, it has Taunt? A bit overwhelming I suppose.
.
Wait, it also has a positive effect? Kill me plz.
An insane anti-aggro tool!
I am surprised this is a Druid card ... they have so many taunts already and I think this will just make Jade more powerful
Finally, good anti aggro tech in token druid. This card is gamebreaking.
