Can we make a celebration that we're finally going to get this card in-game right now? Let's turn all our comments in this thread into "Baaaa!" only from now lol...
Anyways, it's super cool to see this card going in action now as many of us been waiting so long for it. Definitely a worthy card for a control/value mage.
Not here for disagreeing with you, but as a Hearthstone custom designer, I'm tired of seeing the same boring 8/8 giants with just different conditions.
Wake me up when there's something cool about the new giant, which I'll probably won't come back alive.
This card is just not busted, but also flexible. It destroys a minion, deal AoE damage, and if you want to, you can summon a minion too.
I can't predict whether it will be okay or busted. The real problem is the hero power though, that 5 damage makes me want to quickly kill myself before priest does it to me lol! It's a strong burst hero power with having one turn cooldown, still nuts though.
I know you all don't care about me since I'm very absent from this forum. But this made me smile since I have a minion with an exact effect like that, it just cost 1 less mana and it's Elemental. It's from September 2018.
It's something for myself to be proud of... and it's 2nd time I got it correct. My first one was an EVIL totem with everything exact except it was a neutral card. It is a mechanical parrot that copies lackey's voice every time it gets added to your hand. Can't wait to get another similar card for the 3rd time!
For this card review, it is a decent card... but we just need one more good frost spells, especially one more frost AoE spell!
Okaay, just lost my bet in one of reddit’s questionnaire...I just predicted “no” for that card getting the Honorable Kill. Felt like a moron lel.
For the card, would rather have defensive options like divine shield, etc. But the battlecry will do some good job I guess.
I wish this card was 3 mana so we can have more flexible stats/effects. Or a new card with more random effect like this one? I hope so, just not another Puzzle Box.
This is good analysis. The overload spells requirement has kinda ruined the hype for this quest. Without overload though, it might be too broken. The quest still looks good though, so that balances it out. The card draw is what I worry though. No Primal Dungeoneer will actually hurt us.
Best expansion for shaman so far. Lots of strong and fun tools. This new quest will prevent shaman having more card generation until it rotates, and it may live for a long time in wild format… if it’s easy to complete the quest of course.
All other shaman cards seem ridiculously strong. This feels like a shaman expansion since there are many good tools are given to the class.
When I look at this card though, it seems pretty… terrible to me. I haven’t touched standard format these days, but if the class is lacking healing at the moment, then it’s a good card. More healing cards outside of standard can do better than this card though.
Think it will see zero play in wild, but still better than many old elementals atleast. We need more powerful elementals! This one is acceptable.
I dont think this mechanic is even a good idea. You can just ping out enemy health or restore your health little bit and you gain strong effect. I would prefer to keep it as below or above 15 health, but that would sorta take away warlock and warrior identity/style if used for all classes. Probably the identity or style is not that important nowadays.
II've disenchanted the legendary pheonix (5 mana 7/3 elemental bird) and another golden one. However, I can't wait to disenchant 3200 dust of Golden Kayn Sunfury if the nerf demands it.
EDIT: Pre-ordered 90 packs, I got many legenaries now (9 legendaries from 1 big pre-order packs), I deserve this for having last 2 horrible pre-order packs, had way too low amount of legendaries.
As old main shaman, I personally like this set more than 3 previous sets, it’s not competitive but more fun and gimmicks. Vashj and Shattered Rumbler are the most meh cards. Vashj is very hard to pull it off, and Rumbler needs some gameplay test to prove its usefulness.
It wrecks nobody. Maybe slightly annoys res priest but not much more. I once played as a control shaman against a res priest. I transformed two of his minions into frogs, three minions into murlocs. He resurrected only his good minions anyway, mass res gave him 2\3 normal minions and only one frog. It's useless. Thank god they didn't print any new res cards for priest. Maybe this archetype will finally die.
You can give 1x Zul'Drak Ritualist a try in your deck if you have a space for it! But it's pretty bad against every other decks though. It is very effective one against Resurrection Priest.
Turn 1 with 3 attack is pretty interesting. Definitely as powerful as the good old Tunnel Trogg. I welcome these high powerlevel cards, I don't think they will break the game.
Ngl, this post caught me real hard. But it still entertained me alot. Nice article!
Gotta be more cautious for april fool jokes next time 👀
Loved this card design a lot! Kudos to one who made this
Hagatha the Witch support
Other than that, seems really nice value with Flametongue Totem and other AoE buffs.
Pirahna shaman when?
Oh, zero mana draw a card? Wow, time flies too quickly huh.
Of course, Rastakhan's rumble should be an honorable mention in terms of a rework, why haven't he thought about that lol.
Speaking of honorable, I really like Honorable kills mechanic, but it's not enough for the empowered meta nowadays..

Its just a visual bug, but it can confuse players who are not aware for nerfs. I had to recheck if the nerf is live or not.

Thrall, did you teach Illidan how to use far sight? Because you made him broken now.
