Card Review & Interactions

This. Card. Is. Insane. It seriously is. I mean, it will honestly be bad in lots of the Druid builds, but the combo potential behind it is just massive. What is important and I think some people aren't reading into correctly is "last minion you played". It's not "you played this turn" or anything - if you play a minion one turn, then it sticks as its copy for the next turn. It takes what would be an okay card to another level, assuring its place in any deck built around some kind of combo.

Let's start with the most obvious case - Malygos Druid. In your average game, it can act as an extra, 4 mana Faceless Manipulator. You play Maly, hit with your Twig of the World Tree to regain all of the mana, drop this, maybe another Faceless and shoot those Swipes and Moonfires. But, things rarely look so perfect. Let's say that your Twig is destroyed, or you didn't draw it, or you just drew it and have no time to go through all of the charges, because you will die before that. With this card in your hand, you can just drop your Malygos. If it sticks, that's great, you probably win the game. But if it dies (more common scenario), next turn you can drop a 4 mana copy of it and either Faceless it + shoot 2x 11 damage Moonfire, or just drop Swipe (9 damage + 6 AoE) and 2x 6 damage Moonfire. Either way, you have 20+ damage combo even after BOTH your Twig and your Malygos get countered. That's one of the best backup plans you can have.

Maybe another deck, then? Taunt Druid. When you drop Hadronox and it turns out that your opponent has Hex, Polymorph or even Silence to answer it, it sucks, slows you down a lot or even means that you've lost the game. Not with Floop. Hadronox was the last minion you played? You just drop it next turn and immediately Carnivorous Cube it. Heck, for maximum absurdness, if you played on-curve Master Oakheart, you can use it to play it again the next turn if somehow it was answered and you still have at least that second Dragonhatcher in your deck. That said, he also has some anti-synergy with Oakheart, since he can get recruited. It's still not that bad, because when you drop Oakheart you pretty much win the game anyway, and it would only be 1 in 4 in the current list.

You can even use it in Big Druid to just get another copy of your big guy. A 4 mana 3/4 The Lich King ain't bad at all. In the ideal scenario, you can even try using Carnivorous Cube - I'd assume that the two guys you will get back will have full stats and not 3/4. And I won't even start talking about its potential in the Wild format.

So, not onto the downsides. Since it's a 4-drop, it messes up with your Oaken Summons. The truth is, it's still not a terrible pull - 4 mana 3/4 + 6 Armor would be see lots of play. However, the thing is that you DON'T want to pull it onto the board, since you want to use it for your combos. I mean, Malygos Druid builds have already dropped Oaken Summons, so it's not that big of a deal in that deck, but in Taunt Druid, having to get rid of one of the better cards in your deck does suck.

It's not a card that will universally fit into every deck, but it's basically nuts in the right deck. I really think that it might lead to lots of broken combos and some of the cards around it, or itself, will be nerfed/hall of famed. Druid is already in a great position, with a few different viable decks, and this will just push some of the strategies even further. It WILL break something. It's the first card I'm rating 10/10 in a long while.

Card rating: 10/10

    This is just a cheaper faceless for druid that copies Battlecries. Insane.

    1. peak

      The big upside compared to Faceless Manipulator is that you can play it when the minion you want to copy got removed already. This will almost certainly enable some great Malygos Combos.

      1. Back to Malygos

        Yepp this seems lile a good Malygos, so bye bye Togwaggle Druid. :P

  2. TurtleHermit

    Insane combo with a Malygos the turn before (and if that lives somehow, you have spell damage +10), and soft combo with any charge minions or strong deathrattles. Insane card.

  3. caramel cookie

    Looks like a cheaper faceless manipulator. I could see this being used as a combo piece to copy hadronox, malygos, lich king, or even keleseth.

    1. DIE, INSECT!

      Fire was ment to spread, no other.

  4. RinMathews

    Just a great card. Now you can have a second hadronox go off even if your opponent polymorphs something into a beast to mess with witching hour. Maybe you don’t even need witching hour because 2 hadronox + cubing the 4 mana hadronox is enough.

  5. Wikator

    Please just nerf it already.

    1. Dark_Boi

      I can already visualize the patch notes of this getting nerfed to 5 Mana or worse.

  6. BoooZee

    Malygos (probably dies), next turn maylgos 4/5, Talderam, inervate, swipe, moonfire moonfire = 14+11+11= 36. A lot easier condition than the twig. Great card for malygos combo, will be a staple.

    1. BoooZee

      This card for sure is broken i see druid getting nerfed hard, its already the strongest class now but I will for sure have fun playing this while it lasts.

  7. MockRock

    I HATE this design, it's clearly going to be used as a cheap follow up to Malygos with no possible counterplay. Unless we get a Dirty Rat-style tech card in this expansion, this guy is going to be infuriating.

    1. Bananana

      There is possible counterplay, but it's class specific at this point, you can play cards like Potion of Polymorph or Explosive Runes and GUARANTEE that the opponent can't play a second Malygos with this card, since they can't use another minion to trigger the secret (because that would change Flobbidinous into said minion)Then there's cards like Rebuke that also negate Floop's effectiveness considerably, and those two are just off the top of my head, I could almost certainly come up with more by looking at the collection.

  8. RDUNeil

    So I have a quick question... it says "... a 3/4 copy of the last minion you played."

    That implies to me that the cost of the card will change as well. Sure, it is a copy of Malygos, but that means it is a 3/4 version that still costs 9. Cost is part of the card, so...

    In that case it isn't remotely as broken. If it was a 4 cost Malygos, then yes, but...

    1. Zeefarguteen

      No, it keep the cost of a Floop, so he'd become a 3 mana 3/4 Malygos

      1. BoooZee

        4 mana

        1. Zeefarguteen

          Ah, yes, misscliked

      2. hpboy111

        Can I get a source on this?

        1. hpboy111

          Nevermind, just saw the video.

  9. Jed

    Could be cool in combo druids as said. But this card could be good in just card text heavy druid decks, I think he’s just solid.

    1. TNTOutburst

      It would even be good with something like chain gang, tho that would be a waste

  10. TheEyeszlader

    Good card , but people are overrating it due to the opressivness of malygoss druid

    1. Jirwin

      how is it overrating if its going to make it oppressive :/

  11. SupHypUlt

    With all these malygos talk, I take the advice to craft Malygos. Thanks!

  12. Orasha

    This card is so flexible that even if we ignore the obvious Malygos shenanigans it should still see play. The biggest drawback is that you can't run an Oaken Summons package, but that's fine. Cube combos, copying useful battlecries, copying value generators like Ysera or the Lich king...

  13. Soup And Salad

    I am glad any sort of Malygos Druid won't be able to play this and Oaken Summons and the design team are really pushing some of the designs as far as powerlevel goes, but a cheaper Faceless Manipulator that doesn't require the minion you want to copy to be on the board does seem like its pushing it at least a little.

    Hopefully, the Midrange/Aggro tools in this set will make it difficult for super slow control-combo decks to succeed if the Malygos combos become prevalent.

    1. Stonekeep

      The thing is, Malygos Druid does not play Oaken Summons already. It has cut the card quite a long time ago, actually.

  14. Declan423

    I think this could actually bring back spiteful Druid as it can be used for multiple useful cards within that deck and might bring back a small revival of it

  15. crapcrack

    Wow the combo potential

  16. Jirwin

    well, this makes the best deck in hearthstone (maly druid alooot better)

  17. GlosuuLang

    I love Malygos Druid, one of my favorite decks right now. But come on. This is insane. Now we don't even need Twig any more. Just nerf it already.

  18. Idrismur

    Oh no...no..NO NO!*Crashing sound* I AM THE ESSENCE OF MAGIC!!!!

  19. RAGNAROS

    seriously? DRUID? As if it doesn't need to be nerfed ALREADY
    THIS CARD IS SO GUDDAMN OP
    Oh
    Wait a minute
    THE COST DOESN"T CHANGE!
    THE COST DOESN"T CHANGE!!!!
    YSSSSSSSSS
    still - blizzard please - just make malygos a minion that can be used by every single class - except druid
    PLEASE druid just needs to be NERFED
    sigh

    1. PPAP

      The cost DOES change. it was proven in the video where it was revealed.

      1. GameDJJD

        No, it's always a 4 Drop. Watch the Video again.

        1. PPAP

          The cost of the minion changes to 4

    Other than all of the Maly hype this card is insane with hadronx. The only deck I don’t se it being playable in really is token Druid.

  22. CocoAsticot

    A new archetype is born... brainless malygos druid..

  23. fernana083

    this cards going to broken in wild, just imagine an extra Nzoth the corrupter, Ragnoros, sylvanas, any of the high cost dragons with good effects, the list can go on and on. High combo potential too. Strongest card released so far. In fact any other neutral or druid minion that is good just makes this card even better.

  24. Stef

    Instant craft

  25. Greg

    9 mana triple Ixlid, most classes would have a hard time clearing that and if you are alive and maybe two Ixlid survive turn 10 can be a BIG one

  26. Killy

    The best deck right now gets a double ramp for 1 mana and a 4 mana maly? What is wrong with you blizzard?

    1. Grenga23

      odd rogue and even warlock are getting ramp and 4 mana malygos?!? Jesus god no

  27. Flashlight

    Not a real solid use in taunt druid, because I think this will only transform once and taking over the other card its text. Malygos could be a possibility because they only play 5, or so, minions and, combined with their superb draw cycle, can use this easier to combine with Malygos. Once this is in your hand and you drop an Arcane Tyrant you are stuck with the 3/4 for 4 Arcane Tyrant. Not sure if all this can be confirmed, but the card text doesn't state "every turn this is in your hand", like Chameleon, neither is it a battlecry, like Faceless.

    1. Killy

      It is always a 3/4 copy of the latest played minion. It is worded like Shifter Zerus.

  28. Mandrew

    I see it so clearly now; "Flob-Saron, Hope's End"

  29. Vaq

    Is this card good? Yes. Unfortunately this copy effect is something we've seen over and over and is honestly quite boring. Gotta deal with it since this is gonna pop up a lot I guess.

  30. Mech C'thun

    This is going to be great with Mech C'thun, first round a large Mech C'thun that has gained all the magnetic boost from earlier minions.
    Enemy hero just survived and kills it. Then on your next you play this mini Mech C'thun that gains the same boost.

    1. Jirwin

      well how can you say that if you dont know what mech cthun does yet?

  31. Wikator

    Because I loose to Druid every single time, buffing it will not make any difference...

    1. vuka94

      What are u playing? Add Geist and u won.. Just be sure to disable his spider before it dies... Best options are Hex and Polymorph since he can't revive him if he never die :D

      1. Wikator

        As I play with Miracle Rogue, there is now way to kill a full table of big minions.

        1. Jirwin

          try another deck then

        2. Kenjingua

          This deadass said he had bad matchups vs taunt druid as MIRACLE Rogue, thats a 70-30% favourable matchup LMAO

    2. Grenga23

      You playing a deck that has an auto-loss match up is your fault, not blizzards..... its like playing a burn deck and calling for a nerf to healing.

  32. 1194Ching

    Blizzard! Job well done! This my friends, is what I call an awesome legendary!

    This card simply has no downsides on its own! Even in the worse case scenario (like dropping a vanila minion beforehand), this card's stats is passable.

    Of course, in a deck building standpoint, Oaken Summon would be a detrimental piece when they're together, Master Oakheart can mess up your gameplan, but sheesh, even if I get to recruit this card, it won't really matter cause it's still a 3/4 minion in play, and once the situation and draw RNG is in my favor, this is nuts!

    Malygos has enough support to still want floop, but it could be boosted some more. The fact of the matter is, this card is far more rewarding than a detriment. If it were, let's say, a 4 mana 2/2 or the likes, then this would be horrid in the worst case scenario.

    The fact that this card is still good at the worst case scenario further solidifies its place as a perfect compensation to the once great Fandral Staghelm!

    Feels good man!

  33. LUL

    only good card ive seen yet

    1. Jirwin

      well your delusional

      1. Aeon

        @jirwin I second that.

  34. illneso2004

    soo...
    Blizzard likes to release cards and then instantly nerf them because
    this card is a 6/5

  35. Sammy

    seems like a pretty good card druid should beable to mold itself to its surroundings at any time so this is a well thought of card Blizzard 4/5.

  36. Jed

    Welcome to druid is fairstone

    1. TheCancerLord

      choose one:
      +5 spell damage

      Deathrattle:summon all your taunt minions that died this game

      or
      Taunt
      At the end of your turn add a random death knight card into your hand

  37. DeadlyBlinke

    Man I’m gonna miss this card;(
