Token Druid players get a new option for theirFrozen Throne decks withCrypt Lord, a Druid common minion. This card has a symbiotic relationship with the numerous minions a Token Druid player summons and buffs, protecting them withTaunt while each summoned minion adds health back to Crypt Lord.

This card can replaceTar Creeper in Token Druid decks.It has stronger synergy with the low-mana minions that players put on the boardwith the healing factor, while Tar Creeper's plus-two attack during the enemy turn is self-contained.The downside is that Crypt Lord's return attacks kill fewer minions than Tar Creeper.

The new Druid Legendary Hadronoxhas a late-game synergy with Crypt Lord. Playing Crypt Lord on one turn, then Hadronox the next, can summon back enough minions to give Crypt Lord a significant health boost, especially for Beast Druid players. If other Taunt minions with greater health are on the board, they canconvince opponents to go after them, leaving Crypt Lord to stay on the board and get healing for several turns.

Another synergy exists with Spreading Plague, which summons a one-attack/five-healthScarab with Taunt, and repeats until the player has as many minions as their opponent. If the opponent on turn eight has more minions, the player can drop Crypt Lord then Spreading Plague to create a wall of Taunt minions. The one attack base stat for this wall means they won't kill anything but the weakest minions that hit them, but they will protect a Druid's non-Taunt cards.

Crypt Lord may see use with theLiving Manaspell. On turn 10 or later, this floods the board with 10 two-attack/two-health Mana Treants while protecting them with an at least 16-health Crypt Lord. This is going all in with a flood of minions in a late-game scenario. The risk at any time is that the Taunt prevents the Mana Treants from dying and returning the mana crystals to the player.However it's used, the synergy discouragesthe opponent from using AoE spellsto return those empty mana crystals.

Players are sure to find other synergies, as any card that summons extra minions helps Crypt Lord give Token Druid players more control of the board. The common rarity means that Druids opening packs should earn this card from packs quickly, giving them plenty of reason to experiment whenKnights of the Frozen Throne hitsHearthstone in August.
