The artwork for this card comes from the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game 'Fires of Outland' series, for the card Force of Nature.

For example, Restoration druids' treants will heal allies, while Balance druids' treants will attack and root enemies. It summons three treant guardians to assist the druid for 15 seconds, with the capabilities of the treants determined by the druid's specialization. Given its common use as a win condition, the question of whether to use Force of Nature for removal was often a gamble as to which player would reach lethal first.įorce of Nature is a talented druid ability from World of Warcraft. This could allow the druid to avoid defeat, or simply allow them to turn the tide and begin to dominate the battlefield. Players were unable to prevent the basic 14 damage combo except through Taunts, with it necessary to keep an especially keen eye on their Health and Armor totals whenever playing against a druid.Īside from its use to directly win games, Force of Nature was very effective for clearing the board. The lack of interactiveness in its one turn kills may also have contributed to its being changed. Additionally, the effectiveness of the Force of Nature/Savage Roar combo was such that other deck types were less appealing and competitive, with many considering combo druid a monotonous and unchanging mainstay. This was widely used as a druid finisher, by first reducing the opponent to within lethal, then playing the combo the next turn for a large burst of damage.īlizzard had for a long time acknowledged the overinfluence of the druid's core cards, but it was not until the introduction of game formats that they decided to make changes to reduce druid decks' dependence on cards from the Basic and Classic sets - this change was one of them.

The combination cost 9 mana and could deal 14 damage directly from the hand (4 from each Treant and 2 from the hero), plus another 2 damage for each other minion on the druid's board. The card cost 6 mana, and the Treants summoned died at the end of the turn, but they also had Charge, allowing them to make immediate use of the extra Attack from Savage Roar. Prior to Patch 5.4, this card was commonly seen in combination with Savage Roar. Force of Nature works similarly well with Soul of the Forest.ĭopplegangster is functionally equivalent to Force of Nature, the only difference (for Druids) being that Dopplegangster is a minion while Force of Nature is a spell and that Force of Nature provides Treant synergy. The relatively weak Treants summoned by Force of Nature provides good synergy with Cult Master. It also synergizes with Goru the Mightree to provide far more stats in the lategame. Force of Nature reduces Aeroponics to 0 mana by itself, letting you refuel as well.

Players can defend against this play by keeping the druid's board as empty as possible, preventing them from capitalizing on extra damage from Savage Roar.įorce of Nature works well in Aggro Druid decks using Garden Gnome and Anubisath Defender, providing a midgame deck-positive way for both of these cards to activate. This strategy benefits the presence of a number of minions on the druid's board, regardless of their Attack sticky minions like Piloted Shredder and Haunted Creeper are often chosen for this synergy, preventing the opponent from clearing the druid's board.

This card works well in decks with area of effect buffs, and in slightly slower Savage Roar decks that focus on building a board of multiple sticky minions.
