At first I thought this card on its own was rather weak, but surprisingly I found this card to synergize well in a jade deck with auctioneer. The extra armor gained from the spell works wonders when played against a taunt warrior.
It’s for beast Druid which may actually be viable this set
Did we really need and want this card? it is consistently strong against maky machups, and synergizes extremely well with Jade, can be played as a 1-mana spell in Maly, token, or whatever broken archetype Druid will throw at us this expansion.
Druid cards usually do 1 thing out of 2. This, however, strengthens your board presence, increases your surrvivability and possibly cycles with auctioneer WHILE making the auctioneer harder to remove at the same time for 1 mana. Insane card.
Mark of the Lotus didn’t see play and I think it fits Jade better. Why would you play this, when you can play another Jade card which improves all your Jades and giving you a new body with the buff?
I think this card is just good.
But with Maly? Why should it be good there?
You are just totally right – I apologize, what I wrote did not really make any sense. I guess I just became a little bit paranoid about any new Druid/Shaman cards that can fit into jade archetypes.
And of course Maly will not run it, I have absolutely no idea why I wrote that 😀
Hey jade druid, want cheap effective defensive card to go along that auctioneer card draw?
Yeah I would like that a lot.
