The ancient of war health can be silenced because the +5 health and taunt is a battlecry
DOTC isn't a battlecry it's an actual minion spawned that way, otherwise you would be able to silence it into a 4/4.

Both free arena runs had 0 legendaries in draft

Except it doesn't say battle cry on the card. Does ancient of war become a 5/15 with brann? I'm asking because I don't know, but I don't think so because it isn't an explicit trait in the card.

Therefore, your rationale would be incorrect. Literally the only reason is because it changes card art and becomes one of 3 uncollectables, and therefore a new card as a whole, which is bullshit imo

It's "choose one" not "battlecry" so Brann doesn't work. When you play Druid of the Claw and transform it into 4/6 taunt you get new minion. You can check it by returning it to your hand. If you try to play it again you don't get to choose transformation. Ancient of War works differently. If you return it to your hand and replay it you get to choose bonus again.

I believe wtk is right. the unintuitive differences between the cards are known.




The free arenas are bringing out the noobs. I love it.

See, this I know. I was merely contesting the point of froggy. My issue though is with the idea of transformation vs non transformation. There should be a transform keyword instead of a choose one if they're going to lack continuity through the set.

Druid of the claw, Druid of the flame - transform

Ancients of war/lore, robo cub, cenarius - choose

I'm sure there are plenty of examples for both categories, it's just a nuance that fucks with the mechanics of the game.

Currently 4-0 with this arena draft
edit: 6-0
