funny combo,I will try again with this sidequest XD
It has no benefit to Quest Druid or Token Druid. I’m not seeing this as reviving the Gonk package. (I’m also not seeing Blizzard pushing Hero-Attack Druid cards this set, since they did that so recently in RR).
So what sort of new deck would this go into? Probably none… since Quest and Tokens are already so good. There needs to be some very particular and crazy scenario where this card is an enabler for handsize or miracle or combo shenanigans. Otherwise it’s dust.
2 of this with 2 striker = 24 dmg
Or you can double with Elise
You can also do nice stuff with alextraza
3star I guess but pretty meme
Lol I just realize savage striker can only target minion :p
I guess otk gonna be hard since you need 8claw to otk
Gonk memes? Nah! This will fit nicely in Hand Druid which still has support cards available and i think this could be the correct direction for Dragon Druid.
This looks like a favorite card for say wild or arena in standard it looks nice for small removals. Also will Gonk make a reappearance? This reward does give hero 6 attack and armor if used in one turn.
Puns anybody?
Perfect in heal Druid, can punch and easily restore health, plus can be completely very quickly, good in a lot of Druid to have this value to be completed in nearly any scenario (Hero Power)
Druids would even run this if it just was
“1 mana add 3 claws to your hand.”
Pretty bad
How is that bad.? You just said druids would run this? This is great
I guess the “even” shouldn’t be there.
Or he meant “pretty bad” in the sense that it’s good but not very well designed.
Personally, I’d say it’s an OK card in standard.
Sorry should be “wouldn’t”
Oh ok sorry for being a grammar snob
No it’s fine, that completely changes what I was saying so yeah it matters
Miracle Druid perhaps? Who knows. All that we know is that this Sidequest is very interesting, to say the least. It could also be used for Hand Druid (If that’s still a thing.) Or if they wanted to make their version for a flexible ‘Weapon’ but they just came up with 3 1 mana spells instead. For once, I might think that because of this sidequest, Savage Striker could be a consideration now. Maybe Savage Strike can finally get some praise. Either that, or you just use this side quest just to draw 3 cards and whack someone with 6 and have 6 armor, but it’s still there.
Overall 4 Stars though, becuase I am curious as to see how Druids will think about this card.
Yes! So surprised striker didn’t see play, it was because they didn’t have enough tools to increase attack
Wild likes this! Togwaggle Mill Druid… this is great with gadgetzan auctioneer shenanigans..
