Earthen Ring Farseer

Earthen Ring Farseer is a common neutral minion card, inducted into the Legacy set, formerly from the Classic set.

Strategy
Earthen Ring Farseer is worth its cost only if its Battlecry is not wasted, so players should generally make sure that there is a friendly character to heal on the board before playing this card. You may use it to heal your hero (especially if they are already low on Health), but in most cases, healing a valuable but injured minion is a better option. For example, playing this card immediately after playing Injured Blademaster would be an excellent combo. The ability to direct this minion's healing provides good versatility and helps to ensure its Battlecry does not go to waste.

In some cases it can be worth saving this card until a particularly useful opportunity for its healing presents itself. However, as long as its Battlecry is not wasted altogether, the minion can be considered efficient.

Earthen Ring Farseer is one of the most popular neutral healing effects in the game, alongside the heftier but less flexible Antique Healbot. Its powerful Battlecry makes it an excellent target for return effects such as Shadowstep.
