   Incoming Kripp rant on how this card is broken in Arena

   1. alsozatch August 5, 2016

      Commons are the most influential in arena, rares not so much. I wouldn't expect such a thing unless a card is a broken common

      Also, Firelands Portal is so strong because it combines REMOVAL with summoning a minion. Heal + minion is not nearly as strong in Arena.

   There are a lot of bad 6-drops here. You could get corrupted seer (2/3), neurubian prophet (4/4) Reno or Priestess of Elune (5/4) black knight (4/5) or even volcanic drake ( 6/4) or ancient harbinger (4/6). Then again, there are some really good ones too. There like 15 relevant legendaries, the best being Emp. Thurassian, Cairne BH, Hogger, Illidan Stormrage, Maexxa, and Sylvannes. There are about 42 6-drop cards in hearthstone, about 1/6 are below average, About 1/5 slightly below average, and about 1/4 way above average (like the autoincludes we have).

   So, this card seems to be very RNG based. Worst case you get a 2/3 corrupted seer. Best case, it wins you the game with a Sylvannes, and a flashheal .

   In standard (I would never play it), the only good sixdrops would be Cairne, Sylvannes, Scaled Nightmare and maybe sun walker. All the rest (to be blunt) kind of suck. Basically every card mentioned earlier is there (except volcano drake). So, I think this would probably be never used in standard, except maybe just to activate the new Medhiv.

   I would also like to say that I'm no professional at this game, just a person with too much time and a liking for Hearthstone. I could be completely wrong about how good (or bad) thighs card is.

      There are also the possibilities of getting savanna highmane and Dark arakkoa! Wich are fricking insane to get with a that heal on top of it.
      There are also a few 6/6 and 6/7 stats cards (coldarra drake, mysterius chellanger, temple enforcer, dread infernal,drakonid crusher, skeram cultist, gelbin, sea reaver and boulderfist ogre) wich you wouldn't really play in your deck but getting them with an addition to a heal might just be good enough to consider putting this in your deck.

      about 70% of the cards you can get have an OK/good statline/effect for it's cost, while only about 20% of the cards you can get have shit stats. (the last 10% are mediocre 5/5 stats with no effects i count 5/5 as mediocre as you do get 6 health with it and it's created with a spell)

      I see this card as auto include but only really in yogg decks.

         I wouldn't call it an auto include, since yogg druid wants multiple small minions rather than one small one. The heal is useful, but I don't see it being great. However, if you are running Medivh, you would want at least one of these. If you are not, this is a fringe card, and a possible one of.

      only good sixdrops are Cairne, Sylvannes, Scaled Nightmare ? What about Dark Arakko,Savannah,Emperor?

   3. MemyselfandI August 5, 2016

      I think you're exactly right. Druid can't afford to have subpar board control capabilities, even with the 6 heal. They don't have any comeback mechanics, and this card is too swingy to risk losing the board. Good analysis.

   4. Phoenix August 5, 2016

      Ummm emperor gets cycled out, dark arroka I think is pretty big creeperlike, and I forgot about Savannah. I was looking at neutral cards only. Sorry.

      Just don't get corrupted seer. Please.

   I'm glad they gave this card to druid. Restoring 6 health isn't that OP most of the time so it's OK if the card gives you a 6-cost minion

   Don't forget you can also heal a minion after trading.
