Don't know why people are trashing it so hard, "Gonk" is the best card name in history of Hearthstone 🤔
Druid gonna get rotated out of standard on April,LUL
Another Druid weapon inc?
Impossible. Would be broken with Twig of the World Tree.
You're right, I forgot about that. Thanks for the hint
I'm glad this is bad.
To be usable, it should say something like your hero is immune or like the mage card Animated Armor 1 damage at a time
Odd Druid Kappa
for this to be wortwhile, druid needs to get something to mitigate dealing damage to itself. Even if you're using armor, there is a limit of how many times you can bash your face into minions.
Obviously this requires set-up on the turn you play it. Malfurion the Pestilent and play this on 9, or Feral Rage and play this on 10. Combined with the Spirit of the Raptor a turn before, this can be pretty devastating. However, similar to the Pirate legendary, it requires you to run some otherwise pretty bad cards to make this good, and for that reason alone, powerful as this is, it won't see play without some more heavy support. It does give midrange Beast Druid some identity at the very least, as before it was just drop beasts, then maybe copy beasts with Menagerie Warden and...that's it. Now we may have something a little bit more interesting to try, but the attack-granting cards just aren't there in terms of power level.
Yay druid gets the dick I like it
They need to make give your hero power WINDFURY effect so it can go face twice with hero attack buffs and it will be cool new mechanic, this is a bad designed card.
boy I just love to smash my face into my opponent's board over and over again am I right gamers
A lot of the Druid cards in the last two sets have really pushed archetypes that don't exist - in Boomsday it was mostly Token Treant Druid, and now it's Attack Druid. Maybe these archetypes will see play after rotation, but it's hard to imagine them unseating current Druid decks. Still, if Odd Attack Druid becomes a playable, Gonk, the Raptor will be a great card in that deck.
i‘m just happy that druid gets a shit legendary
Yeah, the text is kinda' bad, but if you think about it a lot, you can understand what it means.
If this card had the Rush/Charge tag, then yeah, it makes sense that you can attack with the minion again, but it doesn't write that, so it's the hero that can attack again.
So, how can you attack with the hero again? There are a few cards like Bite, Gnash, Claw, maybe Savage Roar and you can also attack with the weapon or the hero itself. Now, is it worth it? I think not, it gives druid the potential to have some board clear but you remain with no board presence and the armour wears off if you trade..so i think this card is meh, not gonna see any plays.
This is seriously anemic.
So druid and mage are both supposed to prop up a PING archetype of playing? Interesting idea, but no one will be playing this. This card IS awful, you can't even use it's AOE the round you play it. Unless you save Innervates for minion pings. I take it. this is the best you are supposed to want to double it's HP? This card is extremely passive in a meta that really doesn't care for passivity in it's deck styles.
Is this supposed to be control? I'm a little ticked, because I always end up getting all Druid legendaries. Buff this card!
Man this card is bad AND boring expected something more exciting from a big boy dino, oh well next time I guess...
Their will be no next time for beast dinosaur druid. Druid is getting joke beasts to hype the new Beast Hunter meta.
I'm actually pretty hyped for hunter they got the sweetest cards of the expansion IMHO, the firs day of the expansion I'm gonna try spell hunter with the new hero, big recruit hunter with Oondasta and quest/midrange hunter with the lynx. Hunter is finally in a good spot with many archetypes that don't revolve around just Smorcing the opponent
