Oy, where's the Fandral art?
Also, I think this is the first time the two forms just look the same.
This is because the main form of Druids of the Scythe it's wolf
I believe the first transform... The rush version is supposed to be a cat.
That would be a 4/4 with rush and taunt right?
Yes, but I want to see the art.
still better than Silverback Patriarch
That's good design, there's a "bad option", that you actually have to consider everytime, which might be better
Bewitched Guardian better be the best card ever to make up for this garbage.
This looks like a better Crypt Lord for Token and maybe for some odd Taunt Druid
decent enough and Druid lacks good 3-drops anyways.
Oooh which one?^^
I'm guessing they meant Druid of the Flame but I'm not sure. Similar... ish. The Rush version is much more useful than the old 5/2, trading 1 attack for immediate value, but the Taunt version is worse than a vanilla 2/5 Beast.
Oh, I see. When i read "copied" I thought he/she actually meant "copied" - as in identical. Those cards are still completely different.^^
Is it just me, or did blizzard give make a better version of pumpkin farmer for at least hunter and Druid?
I totally forgot about that, thanks.
The old taunt druid with mana ramp and cheap taunt minions playing Strongshell Scavenger really needed a decent 3 mana taunt beast to play on curve. And being able to use it as a removel in case is also nice. Was a nice deck, but just outshined by jade druid, but it was nice how it could play both the aggressive and control roles. If the meta is going to be good for it, this minions will be a sure addition to the deck.
Worst choose one card yet? Druid of the Flame never really saw play, and this is completely outclassed by Tar Creeper and Crypt Lord.
I think comparing it to druid of the flame is just wrong as this card has a rush effect so the only think you could compare it to is to druid of the claw which saw play in some decks and cost 5 mana while this only cost 3 mana.
Sure you can say tar creeper is better but remember that shadow word horror, pint-size potion and potion of madness all rotate out so having a 2/4 taunt on turn 3 is not that bad.
At turn 3 you want board control and not face damage so rush is perfect to get back board control or take out some minion that pose a threat to the rest of your board.
Rush minions seems better then charge minions so think it will see play in quite some decks.
Druid of the Flame actually saw quite a bit of play. It was a staple in aggro and beast druid lists for quite some time.
