yeah, let’s be real. this is going to be Deal 4 damage a lot of times. many of those times, Boomkin might as well say “Destroy a minion” because most of the early and some of the mid-game cards have around 4 health anyways. Restoring 8 is nice, too. that’s having a free ice barrier for Druid. so you can kinda see this as valuable is just a plain “2 mana 4/5” for druid.
I’d even agree to give it 5 stars. If you are not there to have a free Ice barrier and you’re there for a free worse version of assassinate which is still good enough to have.
Could be great if Fandral Staghelm makes it into core set 2022.
Nailed it. More Choose One card. Unfortunately not a spell one.
