Important tool for token decks. Better than the 5 drop totem.
A rather useful card for quest druid 2 overload doesn’t mean much to quest since your ideal cards are about mid range at 4-6 for choose one. As quest it technically wouldn’t be a choose one since doing both is same as doing just the overload version.
It probably would have been better if it was worded to summon a separate set that had rush. That would make it a real choose one under quest druid and wouldn’t seem like a nerfed card for quest.
How does it work in Quest Druid? Does it summon 4 tokens with rush, or 7 mixed tokens?
I just think it auto activates the overload and rush as the choose one option is rush just like the Druid prime with choose one taunt or rush it gets both on 1.
pretty ok lots of better versions of this kind of card in other classes like scion of ruin for warrior but with more requirements. 4 stars, maybe less but seems playable at least in my book
Token Druid and Totem Shaman will LOVE this! It gives Shaman the refill they need (They can follow up with Totemic Might and Totemic Surge!) and Druid can use this as “second” Glowfly Swarm to eat up enemy removal and on 10 they can even buff it with Soul of the Forest, which is a big upside compared to Forest’s Aid!
The Rush thing is also nice in some situations!
Shaman is happy to have a Board-in-a-can, since normally he has to build his token boards piece by piece using cards he struggles to draw in the first place.
Druid probably doesn’t care, he has better board-spam options at the moment. If you use this you’re going in on the Treant synergy cards that are still in standard.
The overload option is a bit harsh but it could come in handy in emergencies.
Not confident this’ll see play, but good to have after the rotation.
I honestly can’t tell if this card is good or not, and at this point I am getting tired of both treat and basic totem tokens. 2/5 from me due to tired flavour.
I guess the card reads : Choose One – Summon four 2/2 Treant or Totem; Overload: (2) and give them Rush.
No, it summons 4 minions that are both totems and treants. The choose one refers to the overload and the rush -> you can give them rush but you’ll get overloaded by 2
Ohh, i got confused by the wording. Thanks BTW.
good in shaman because we have many totem buff cards . treants has no support
I miss Mulchmuncher… Token Druid could have a lot of board fills, but will it be enough?
It’s a better Force of nature. I don’t think anyone would almost ever choose to overload with this unless they absolutely must remove something but it’s a nice possibility to have. Unless totems somehow magically make a return I don’t think this will see play simply because there’s other better cards to fill this role atm. Maybe later?
3 stars.
I find the word “or” odd. It probably just reads: “Overload (2): and…” (in addition)
It says “or” because when you play this card, you can choose whether you want to just summon 4 treant totems OR also give them rush and take the 2 overload. It should be:
Choose one: Summon 4 2/2 Treant Totems; or Summon 4 2/2 Treant Totems with rush and Overload (2)
But this way the spell would summon 7 tokens (3 of them having rush) with a completed druid quest, and that’s not what they wanted it to do.
Also, all choose one cards have had the word “or” in their text, why would this card be a exception.
The card text has changed since my comment. It read “or Overload: (2) and give them rush”.
give them Charge or RIOT
