Clever girl!
Mounted Raptor is a common druid minion card, from the League of Explorers set.

As a Wild-format card, both regular and golden versions of Mounted Raptor can also be crafted for the following amounts:

|---|---|---|
| Mounted Raptor | 40 | 5 |
| Golden Mounted Raptor | 400 | 50 |
Strategy
Like 
Harvest Golem this is a "sticky" minion that retains some field presence after it dies. Can be fairly strong in a Beast, combo, or token druid deck.
It can be considered a more aggressive version of Harvest Golem, being a 3/2 instead of a 2/3. Its main problem is the unpredictability of the minion it summons with its Deathrattle, which can be any collectible 1-cost minion from any class. In the best case, you can get an 
Injured Kvaldir at full health, or a Flame Imp without receiving damage to your hero. In the worst case, you can get an undercosted 1/1 that is nearly useless without its Battlecry or in-hand effect, such as Elven Archer, 
Forbidden Ancient, or Shifter Zerus.
Possible summons
The below table lists all 1-cost collectible minions in Wild format, representing the range of possible minions summoned by Mounted Raptor's Deathrattle.
Lore
The concept of this card is that the Raptor is ridden by a 1-cost minion, who upon the Raptor's defeat will leap off and join the battle.[1]
Trivia
