This would be a great reason to introduce a Treant tag. I get it - Blizzard is afraid of confusing new players, but holy tapdancing Christ, I think adding tribe-labels to cards isn't going to be some brain melting shit here. Give us Treants. Give us Goblins, Gnomes, Kobolds, Humans, Undead, etc.
I know we like to joke about "new players lul" but part of Hearthstone's appeal is in its "easy to learn, hard to master" ability. Adding tons of keywords, tags, and mechanics would be fun for the few people who can afford to sit and memorize the interactions and complexities, but would alienate people unwilling to do so. I personally think those tags are unnecessary and would clog up the game. It isn't a big enough issue to warrant action.
So looks like Treant Druid is gonna be a thing.
Most of the cards revealed so far don't even have anything to do with the Netherstorm. What the hell Blizzard?
well these ones kinda look like things you'd see in the eco domes in netherstorm but idk
almost like the expansion is about a laboratory that just happens to be in the netherstorm, not the netherstorm itself.
Yeah, which sucks. Maybe every now and then they can base a few cards (or heck, an entire expansion!) on World of Warcraft. You know, the game this game is supposed to share a universe with?
There is certainly demand for it. People loved Knights of the Frozen Throne and Old Gods.
Great to maybe see Cenarius become good.
Not as great to see this deck ignored because Biology Project steals the spotlight.
Some treant buffs would be cool.
Is this a burning treant?
Splintergraft is a "haunted treant"[1] that is unique to Hearthstone.
Or are you telling me this guy ain't a treant?
You're telling me this Sapling isn't a treant?

Treant - A fictional anthropomorphic organism having many characteristics of a tree.
So, technically speaking, this should also apply to all the other treants that exist in Hearthstone. Rotten Applebaum, Ancient of War, Ancient of Lore, Ironwood Golem, and Ironbark Protector (for a good amount of examples) are technically treants since they all resemble trees. IF THEY ARE NOT treants, I feel that this new "treant" interaction will be little bit inconsistent. Probably not, because they don't have the word treant in their names, but that's just me.
Edit - I just looked up WoW Wiki, Ancients are demi-god trees.
Hmm might be worth putting these in the current iteration of token druid in standard, the deck does play Soul of the Forest and could accommodate Witchwood Apple for the token and treant synergy. The Dendrologist is a nice early game minion that can give you hopefully a cheap spell for Violet Teacher or even more spells that give you treants. The Mulchmuncher could be a nice card to just play as a threat or bypass a large taunt.
good idea for synergy but its for a class which is really powerful still now, i trust blizzard with the balancing technques and i look forward to playing a treant deck!
We already have totem tribe which its almost exclusive to chaman i dont see the problem to include treants tribe
The totem tribe is relevant to Shaman's class identity, and isn't a one-off tribal gimmick from a couple of cards in one expansion
Those are ancients; not treants.
or even more simply, treants are a token tribe not a standard tribe. Which solves the "it's not a real tribe" problem too.
