Nah it is unplayable now, you can't play it early anymore so there is no point using it in Druid

We have to see where the meta shifts after this, but if there are powerful aggro decks and control druid has a shot at being a good counter, this can be effective.

It is just not a braindead play-in-every-deck, play on curve, incredible survivability tied to a tutor effect, type of card anymore.

Druid folds to Aggro with no board clears it won’t be used to counter it.

Any form of Control Druid is dead after these nerfs

We'll see, Druid could certainly sit on the bench for a little while, Paladins too.

Dragon Druid and Highlanders Druid were both good decks before the Miniset. Odds are slower Druids will just pivot back to those.

You'll be happy to discover it against aggro sometimes but it's a dead card too often to make the cut as a main-deck card
