The battle cry up front is kinda meh (it only summons 2 2/2 rush). This card would heavily depend on how many treant synergy cards are in Boomsday. This card would be run in hadranox Druid tho, just because it’s a generally good card and it doesn’t summon beasts
Just a quick disclaimer about the intended power level of the card: I tried to make it so that it was a bit like Malfurion the Pestilent, and not like Frost Lich Jaina or Bloodreaver Gul'dan. It isn't something that carries your late game for you, or enables you to do ridiculous things that can win you the game either on the spot or over time. Instead, it is meant to synergise with decks that are simply good with wood. Malfurion the Pestilent is generally stronger, but this card aims for better synergy.
Malfurion the Pestilent wasn't a game winner by having a specific win condition, he was just generally pretty darn strong. I would like to think this is similar but focused on Treants. I made it 8 Mana whereas maybe I should have made it 6 Mana, but I went with the former just so Treant synergy cards that could be printed later on don't have to think "What about this powerful Hero Card"?
I also wanted to avoid it being Odd Mana Cost like Malfurion, just in case Even Druid is ever something someone wants to attempt.
