Keeper Stalladris

Keeper Stalladris is a legendary druid minion card, from the Rise of Shadows set.

Strategy
Keeper Stalladris has superb stats for his low cost. With this in mind, in addition to comboing a powerful Choose One spell with him the turn he's summoned, you can potentially keep him alive for prolonged periods of time to continuously use his effect. Even if your deck doesn't use that many Choose One cards, Stalladris can still provide lots of value, since you can save him specifically for one of the few Choose One spells you do have. While not overly powerful in any one specific deck, he's flexible enough that he should be considered a high priority to include in any deck that utilizes multiple Choose One spells.

As Keeper Stalladris can rapidly fill your hand with bonus cards, he synergizes well with cards that benefit from large hands, such as Ferocious Howl, Bewitched Guardian or Mountain Giant.
