This looks like a minion that may get added to the Battleground pool at some point.
Very likely, since they said they were planning to add quillboars as a tribe for BG. (If I remember right)
Yes, but minions still need to be dying the turn you play this. Minions with taunt, no less, usually the first to die (on your opponent's turn)
Good to be positive, but if minions tended to stick around, Cult Master would have seen a lot more play.
Combo it with a taunt minion on the same turn, and there is STILL a huge chance this is dealt with first.
(I'm not going into the litteral meaning of orders of magnitude, I get your point regardless)
This could have been a great card if only they didn't make Sigil of Silience or Sunfury pretty much a hit the conceed button Vs demon hunter now they have 3 cheap cards that allow them to ignore Taunt.
Imagine DH doing something without twin slice....i cant
well, the otk is kinda something without twinslice
Yes but for the otk deck taunts are irrelevant
Looking at the other 4 cost cards for Druid, this might actually be the class you play Kazakus in instead of this guy, even in the taunt Druid deck.
Not convinced this is any good.
It's a lot like Kel'Thuzad and High Inquisitor Whitemane. Maybe Cult Master or Necrotic Geist
Now what do those cards have in common? They didn't see much play.
Both Kel'Thuzard and Whitemane are also several orders of magnitude more expansive than this card is. Might still not be strong enough to see play but there's a huge difference with it costing 4 mana instead of 8 or 6.
Kel'Thuzad saw immense play.
Also this costs half as much so it doesn't take your whole turn.
Kel'Thuzad saw tons of play
This will be interesting in battlegrounds
I'm 100% going to try and make Taunt Druid work. So far that is the first thing I'll try when I have opened my packs I think. Looks to have fun cards to experiment with.
There's no way it won't work. Clown druid was only being held back this meta due to some of the faster, more aggro decks. Almost all that stuff is rotating, and the new power level appears to be pretty low.
Trash win more card
Blizzard be like well we tried taunt warrior how about taunt druid :)
More taunt support. Clown druid is going to be cancer.
New archetype druid taunt, looks good
This + Greybough looks promising
