You can't build a deck around this right now, it's way too weak at 7 mana with games being as fast as they are. Maybe in like 3 expansions from now this'll be relevant.
So much for the Recruit keyword.
Wow! You did it! You found the one card that summons minions from your deck that's been printed over the past 3 years! Thank god we have geniuses like you around! I'm sure blizzard will be bringing back the recruit keyword for this card, even though they've said multiple times after being asked over and over by drooling troglodytes that they don't keep unique keywords consistent between expansions! I kiss the ground you walk on! Truly our savior!
Damn bro....have a Snickers.
Hunters can cheat out Tundra Rhino with this alongside something else. Interesting.
So for Druid we have 29 possible minions (right now)

Of those, Emperor Cobra and Evasive Chimaera look like interesting removal options where as Bad Luck Albatross would be a good way to mess over some decks. Overall though I am not that impressed with it from a Druid viewpoint. Hoping that the set as some decent beasts with board effects.
Dread raven meta incoming!
Jokes aside I really hope they print some more support in the form of some negative battlecry beasts (à la Injured Blade master) for druid/hunter, otherwise this card will be completely unplayable.
Its pretty dumb on their part because it makes their card text real-estate clunky.
They have the hover-over tooltips made, I dunno why they don't just use um if they are going to semi-evergreen some of these effects (recruit has been used in several expansions again). The "players not knowing what they do" excuse was only valid for basic and classic set.
I like the flavor of the card, but the last Druid and Hunter/Druid cards need to have some good beasts.
Hail Bittertide Hydra!
volcanic idea! :D
Witchwood Grizzly for wild beast deck. Interesting card for sure, and any time beasts come out that are 5 or lower in the future, this will have to be kept in mind.
A horned, white haired hottie flanked by two scary looking good bois? hmm...
What is this degeneracy
Really like it if the synergy is there. Even something like Augmented Porcupine is all right here.
The deck thinning in hunter is also pretty nice.
Yeah. And I'll always be drawing it on turn 6.
druid is getting many beasts im sure, this is almost empty rn, at least 2
Fellow Golden Mukla-owners, REJOICE. The world is OURS!
Recruit keyword. Where are you?
I think they've previously said that they'll try to keep expansion-specific keywords (ie. recruit for Kobolds, reborn for Uldum) for that expansion only. Although I'm sure there are exceptions.
