Holy shit why?
That literally draws the entire wild togwaggle combo. What the ever loving fuck.
I guess run dirty rat in every deck and it'll be ok.

Blizzard seem to value tutoring different that basic draw, and the fact you can only play one card drawn the subsequent turn makes the cost kinda make some sense.
If you compare it to Sprint (7 Mana), a Rogue player could get four minions of any cost and possibly play all four next turn.
Of course with Twig, and a few other cards, Druid could cheat out a lot in one turn, but it is not as easy as spamming the board as a Rogue.
Regardless, I still think the card is a problem, and right now I feel Blizzard have gone mad (they probably tested it enough to get the cost correct though, right?....)
I dunno, I don't see it as being quite as strong as some of you seem to think. Maybe in wild but wild is a dumpster fire.
7 and 10 are pretty weak slots, look at what's in them. What 7 drop do you want to play from hand? Blazecaller? are we playing elemental druid?.
The only way you have a 7-drop that is anywhere near relevant (from the cards we've seen) is if you're running some azalina combo and at that point you're bordering on meme territory. 8 and 9 can definitely be good. Lich King, Alex, maly, etc but I'm not sure drawing those two cards is enough to make this card game-breaking.
Likewise what are you going to play for 10? Maybe you can make a mulchmuncher deck work I guess? Is anyone really going to run deathwing?
I suppose if you put anacondas in your deck this gives you an anaconda and something high value for it to pull but I think between casting this and playing the snake you're losing too much tempo.

Jesus Blizzard, come on...
So druid got 3 widely believed S-tier cards between floop, psychmelon, and Biology Project.
I personally believe Biology Project to be way overhyped, but even then Druid's making bank.
Seriously, a 4 mana sprint that's also a tutor?
Oh, and I take back Ixlid being better than Gloop Spreader in Aviana/Kun, since Ixlid doesn't get tutored by that stupid card. At least you need two 9 mana cards for any of the Aviana/Kun combos?

As much as people loved Brode, his did not signal handedly create every good card in HS. Sure, due to his position, all ideas were funneled through him, but many of those ideas originated elsewhere. Even if he chose to do something else, there is still many good developers at the company. Unless something goes VERY wrong, the game is not going to fall apart became one man steps aside. Sure it loses some charm and personality, but it will be okay. The likes of Dean Ayala, Mike Donais, and Peter Whalen are all very talented at what they do.
What is the exact same way it is broken? This seems to be a potential new way to break it.
*edit* I also just went back for a random Data Reaper report and the first one I checked had only one druid deck in tier 2, and none in tier 1. I don't think it's always broken unless you mean something very specific by "broken".
Ramp -> draw entire deck faster than you can get to 8 mana -> kill you,
every iteration of druid has been same shit. From combo druid, to jade to what we have now. I guess now they have absurd healing on top of the triangle of death as well. The face of their finishers has changed but that's irrelevant, that's just the surface.

I'm pretty sure that is an exaggeration. I would challenge you to draw all 30 cards before I reach 8 mana even if I used a basic deck, let alone play them without burning them. I can understand disliking ramp but it still isn't always top tier.

I'm one of these people who end up coming back to the game semi-regualry at the very least, despite the game's various problems and shortcomings, but then I see this and I know, this time I'm gonna stay the hell away.
I was so happy when shortly after the expansion I'd opened two regular UIs and a golden copy from relatively few packs (no more than 20), all that dust that was about to come my way after the inevitable nerf, I'm never that lucky.
I'm still waiting.
A class card that is worse than faceless manipulator in most situations... underwhelming. I knew when they showed the legendary yesterday we'd be getting at least one more targeted spell for priest but combining the two of those is a lot of effort for very little payoff.
That's just going to be too slow most of the time for a 10 mana two card play.
The fact that you can ALWAYS have Oakheart on turn 9 is a fucking problem. Then you can guaranteed drop Tyrantus the next turn. Shit is busted as fuck in big druid. Yeah there's nothing on turn 7 but you just thinned your deck and increased your chances of drawing DK.
Exaggeration of course on my part, but you just increased your chances by a ton.
I think the leg spell seems like it might be fun to use in a Reno deck.
Huge letdown. This would have been amazing as a mech. Considering the Hunter and Warrior legendaries, this is surprising.
This card murders aggro. Can also give insane health swings late game against fatigue.
If no one's taken you up on the offer, I'm down, assuming you are NA. TAH4145#1974
If you were looking to trade friendly quests though, I don't have one to trade.
Control paladin needs a win condition still.
Better control tools are good and that legendary plus the 5 mana equality are decent additions but it needs to be working towards something.
Is exodia even remotely practical in standard? It would have to be some zola brewmaster bounce crap at this point right?

sorry, someone already took it
also i wasn't looking to trade but somehow i found an uder that has a friendly too :P
I think flobby floop might prove a little clunky to see tons of play but it can be an insane follow-up in big druid.
I guess I don't understand what oakheart really pulls if you get him reliably off this card. dragonhatcher is 9 at the very least and even if you're not running taunts like sleepy dragon maybe you're running ysera,
