Oaken Elder

History
Created following the footsteps of Awakened Guardian, Oaken Elder got elected as the 5th winner of the Vanilla Design Competition. It was first submitted as a neutral 4-mana 2/6 unit, but it didn't turned out to be an interesting statline and it was defined as an underpowered card by some players. Like some other cards submitted for the Vanilla Competition, this originated some controversies about the balance and helped defining the right power level that any user-created card shoud respect, even outside of the competition. By this way, Oaken Elder was redesigned and resubmitted as the current version and surely resulted to be more appealing to players overall.
