Choose One - Transform into a 2/1 with Charge; or a 3/2 with Stealth.
That's saberTEETH, not like curved pirate blades. That's a different kind of druid. Druid of the Curved Pirate Blades.
Druid of the Saber is a common druid minion card, from the Grand Tournament set. Its Choose One effect transforms it into one of two possible Beast minions when played.

Choose One[edit | edit source]
- Resulting minions
Fandral Staghelm[edit | edit source]
If played while in control of Fandral Staghelm, both Choose One options will be chosen, resulting in the below minion.
Notes[edit | edit source]
- As with all transformations, this minion's change into either Lion or Panther Form is permanent and cannot be undone by Silences or being returned to the hand.[1]
Strategy[edit | edit source]
A versatile low cost minion - a 3/2 with Stealth can often trade into higher cost minions, and the 2/1 with Charge (similar to Bluegill Warrior) can deal burst damage as required.
As both forms are Beasts, this has good synergy with other Druid cards such as Wildwalker and Druid of the Fang.
Quotes[edit | edit source]
- Summon
- Another night on the prowl.
- Attack
- Hear me ROAR!
- Death
- Meow...
Lore[edit | edit source]
While Warcraft features many druid sects, such as the Druids of the Claw, Druids of the Flame and Druids of the Fang, the Druids of the Saber are original to Hearthstone.
Little is therefore known about these druids, although they clearly appear to be centred upon transforming into saber-toothed cats, specifically lions and panthers.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Since this minion's Choose One effect normally replaces it with one of the two Beast forms, its regular attack and death sounds are only heard if the minion enters play through a summon or put into battlefield effect (such as Alarm-o-Bot), causing it to skip the transformation.
- This is the only transforming Druid card where the two forms have different names than the original card.
