was gonna dissmiss it kind of but quest shaman.. or evolve shaman.. has potential.
Yes, yes Blizz, we get it, Shaman's a duelist class now ... geez, stop insisting already ... just give us some time to adjust
Struggle with Heroic Galakrond's Awakening? I got your back :
This generally seems like an overwhelmingly mediocre card, if you know what I mean. At it's base, it is about as powerful as Razorfen Hunter. When corrupted, it is pretty good, but not terribly good, and you won't be able to play the corrupted version on curve to take advantage of the tempo. So all in all it is just okay.
Carrion, my wayward grub.
really nice card its essentially 7/8 in stats when corrupted
TOTAL CORRUPTION
TOTAL POWAAAAAAA
Could be nice in a Quest Shaman, and potentially nutty in an Evolve Quest Shaman.
I am just imaging this set helping a lot with evolve shaman. The idea of dropping 3, 3 cost minions and then attacking with Boggspine Knuckles makes me happy to see the potential combined with Desert Hare
Duelist shaman? I mean sure there are some "synergies" with evolve type effects. But it is not like very strong

At least it is good even if you don't play it corrupted, too bad the duelist is not a totem knight or something like that.
This has big potential. Partly depends on how well Corrupt works. Might be too slow.

What exactly is that 4 mana card that we're looking at corrupting this card with? At present, I just can't see it.
Most aggro decks in shaman would play bloodlust as the most expensive card. Goes without saying that if this card is only corrupted by that, then its complete trash.
So for now, I'm not optimistic. Even if you get that pay off, it still doesn't look good, since even the most feeble AoE by any serious player will deal with this card. So paradoxically its slower than something comparable like Hyena Alpha, while also being weaker, with also a harder condition to play at its fullest potential.
Seemed pretty weak to me until people mentioned Evolve. Desert Hare is far superior for pure evolve purposes, but this is significantly stronger as a standalone. Still not expecting much play for this one.
This just comes out way too late, your opponent can probably just clear a couple of 2 cost minions easily.
This ain't no place for a hero
This card in quest shaman with Revolve should be fun
TREMBLE before.... the most legendary dragon that ever existed!
Great card for evolve, and battlecry shaman. But that's it. Who knows how good that deck is going to be though... at least it's a cheap card.
Standard: Evolve and battlecry shaman will use it.
Wild: Probably will be in evolve shaman, BUT Battlecry shaman doesn't want it. Battlecry shaman prefers card that work well with Shudderwock, and Pit Master is doesn't work that well with it.
RNG is only fun as long as there is a 50/50 chance of getting something really good or trash level of bad. If RNG always results in something good, then it's not fun.
I'm going to say probably not. By the time you can Corrupt the card and play it, it's probably not that hard for your opponent to deal with it efficiently.
Eh seems nice but a bit expensive to corrupt but hey 6/4 in two minions is pretty good right?
Self proclaimed good at battlegrounds
The issue this is that it only gains stat benefits when corrupted, and those extra stats start to matter less and less as the game goes on if you can't play Pit Master corrupted on turn 5. Even in Quest Shaman, there are better battlecries that advance your gameplan better than this as well as the fact that Pit Master is extremely vulnerable to 2 damage AoE. Also, the Revolve potential with this seems inconsistent and more of a meme play.
For glory, honor, and gold!
Looks bad, but with quest can be a 3 mana summon 4 3/2 and 1 1/2 on t4-5.
Then Bloodlust and gg.
By The Holy Light!
This is just the lackey but better and for a fair cost.. I still don't know why people think it's in flavor for shamans to be duelists.
Living like that.
Could be a good Revolve target, but otherwise not to great. Maybe quest shaman, but I feel like there might be better cards to run than some extra 3-2's

This card has a huge impact played on quest shaman battlecry along with evolution or deathrattle tokenize. If played properly can be insane and even better when corrupted.

Seems like one of the better Corrupt cards worth adding to standard Shaman decks. Not sure how what theme to it suits to build a deck around it though.
Battlecry Shaman will love this card. A ton of value, and can be revolved to make up the subpar stats.
Seems too slow.
2 3/2 are nice but the card itself is still meh
All hail the banshee queen.
At least it's kind of cheap to Corrupt, might see some Midrange Battlecry Shaman make use of this.
Hey, you heard about that Mario guy?
This isn't terrible and might only get better with the next few expansions.
Very uninteresting at first glance, but you can't really ignore any Battlecry or Evolve shenanigans that might be possible in Shaman right now. Even then, I don't really like this card for that deck.
Welcome to the site!
Lots of stats after being corrupted, might actually see some play
This is pretty decent. Summoning extra tokens will always have upsides especially in an evolve scenario.
Unfortunately, common sense isn't as common as it should be.
It's good for Evolve Shaman decks, especially to come down the turn after Boggspine Knuckles. Otherwise, it's probably not going to see play.
I have spoken.
Corrupted 7/6 on 3 bodies for 3 mana, very strong card
