Why would you play this on turn one? This is a turn 2 play because you never hero power turn 2 with quest druid. Now you get 3 cheap cards that deal with trash minions and give you a little armor that benefit from something you were already gonna do on turn 3 and 4 half the time anyway. You analysis is nonsense
turn 1 - quest + coin (innervate) (1\4)
turn 2 - sidequest + pounce? (1\2 + 2\4)
turn 3 - hero power (pounce?) if you want to do sidequest (2\2 + 3\4)
turn 4 - repeat (2\2 + 4\4)
So you need 1 extra card space on start and\or exactly pounce for what? Not much value in result but small hand in the end.
Crystal Merchant in starting hand without sidequest is more value. So I think sidequest in questdeck is pretty useless.
If only there was a druid deck that did nothing the first 4-5 turns anyway...
actually this deck need something for 0 mana not for 1, coz these 4-5 turns druid desperately fights for the table and hand with very heavy deck and quest condition. Imagine quest druid playing sidequest with quest (innervate? coin?) on first turn - nonsense.
Mark my words, for the Wild format, this is a secret powerhouse! Basically every Gadgetzan Auctioneer druid will love this card. These decks already play cards just to cycle for their win combo, they don't care much about what the card does, just keep up the chain as long as possible. And for these decks this card is perfect. 3-4* draws in one card, easy condition.
*I think usually you will play this before Auctioneer for tempo reasons. The turn your Auctioneer is up you want to cycle as much as possible and you can't afford your hero power then.

This is basically a delayed Fireball attached to your face, terrible if not in combo decks, whose are also terrible nowadays by design
Yo guys, this card has lot of value. You can use this to just gaining armor while killing a minion or you can use this to cycle through your deck via gadgetzan auctioneer or the soul of raptor. Also you can use this to combo with gonk.
And when we check other quests most of the other cards are dependent on to playing other cards to activate, while this gives you the ability to activate the quest just by hero powering. Just by this quality of the card this will be better than most of the other cards
Worst sidequest, of those that I saw, you need to spend mana on dubious actions and then spend 3 mana on the same dubious cards
Blizzard trying to make a Gonk meta...oh god what IS Druid now? No class identity at all!!
Easy to complete but the reward is weak, it would have been better if it were Pounce
I don't think they would use a card that would rotate out in the next expansion
how am i going to Attack twice?
You can use two turns. But sht, don’t tell anybody.
Blingtron 3000 into doomhammer obviously
Synergy card with Gonk that came a little bit too late. This is also nice for a Hand Druid since it adds cards to your hand which will be helpful for Twilight Drake and Bewitched Guardian. This could be the correct direction for Dragon Druid. We will see.
Seems like a decent turn 2 play in quest druid that you will just naturally finish by just playing the way you play quest druid. Will it be good enough though to see play over other cards in the deck though? We will see.
Attacking twice in quest druid is worse than literally anything else you could do with that mana. Hero powering on turn 3 is worse than casting Worthy Expedition and just floating 2 mana.
Maybe you could've let us have this back in Rastakahn's Rumble to support my boy Gonk? We only get a few months to play around with it in Standard. This is the equivalent of releasing Lackey support for 2020's December expansion.
Potentially broken with decks that want a high draw rate, this with Gadgetzan Auctioneer is incredible.
