I had an overthought about it since I like shaman class a lot.
Ill say it will find a spot with Thunderhead together in a deck, 99% of the time.
The overload is just here to boost overload synergy, and if that’s not enough for you, there is also elemental tag that can boost Elementary Reaction and Earthen Might bonus. So...
This card is gonna scale better than Maelstrom because it supports shaman in almost everything except spell damage. Do not run aelstrom anymore in Thunderhead deck.
This feels like a Hagatha nerf. You're never going to run this in a deck, and you don't have totems after you've played Hagatha.
I don’t think it’s a nerf if we got two more good spells like Plague of Murlocs (Best spell to combine with any AoE damage) and Earthquake. But I agree, reall awful spell to get from Hagatha.
This card will be AMAZING imho. You people don't see what kind of deck this card will be played in: this is a Myra's unstable element that has a giant body and that doesn't end your deck, it is the perfect refiller for an aggro deck that is trying the last push to win. If your opponent is low on health but you are low on cards, play this and refuel, or use him to go face.
I think it's a good card after all.
It is kinda good, but the problem is that it won’t be impactful because it doesn’t gain you board control like lich king with taunt and ragnaros with removal. The thing is, it does nothing when you spend a whopping 8 mana. I guess it’s good if you gain advantage board, but by no means, this card is not better than other late game legendaries or even non legendary late game minions.
if I got this, doubt it will result good, but I’m glad they implemented very similar minion to one redditor that made a fan card, will try it if I got it
Honestly pretty great for Shaman. Shaman has a lot of great 4 drops as well as battlecry synergy.
Jeweled Scarab used to be a god gift to shaman because Hex was 3 mana, and by means god gift, I mean it was wonderful to get another hex.
I like your idea, but his guy looks very weak though as 3 mana, I don’t think it’s worth it to add a slower jeweled scarab into your deck. Jeweled scarab in my opinion was way much better back then when shaman had an access to hex, but jeweled scarab wasn’t a super good card too.
This is why I’m always excited for hidden epic cards, they always brought cool cards, they should print an entirely new fresh card like this. I like where Blizzard is going with epic minions.
I was once trying to make a fan made card that does bad thing when your opponent plays a discovery card, but benefitting the discovery card instead sounds like a great idea!
Looks like a fun card, but it needs to stay survive or it will be worthless.
Ah, I remember that I got huge minions on the board when I played Astral Druid very long ago, this card reminds me my faceless behemoth and other big dudes on the board, if I could find this screenshot somewhere.
Oh yes, obviously packfiller. But what a great remind for good old Old gods expansion that has big minions.
I don't play many games because I'm more of an addicted multiplayer game person, so I rarely bought the games (and more into cosmetics, but I'm not into that anymore). The reason I would buy the expansion is that the cards look great. (Just the same way in every expansion)
There are still some epic neutral cards left I'm waiting for, so I really don't care if they gonna suck or not, but I'm hoping they would bring a new way to play like Whirlwind Tempest. Even it's terrible, I had at least fun experimenting with it. But let's not talk about Desert Obelisk... as it looks really tough to build around it that it limits your playstyle.
Also, I don't like cosmetic anymore, I bought someone like Sir annoy-o-tron, which I actually liked him a lot as he has such a cool avatar. But I hope I won't buy another similar one to it.
I really like any big dude, but the 5 Health feels so bad to me. Also, bringing the warrior minion into neutral seems okay though since nobody saws it plays. Still... It's not going to see some play anyways.
I think this card is meant to create a bigger pool of reborn minions. So... there is a better chance not getting Generous Mummy from Pharaoh Cat or some generators for a reborn minion.
Need an actually good reborn minion, for paladin's quest. Maybe a tutor for reborn minions to finish the quest faster.
I'll not complain anything about the taunt guy, except the stat line.
I think there is a better minion, which is Safeguard, who can protect your minions too and your face with double 5-Health taunt instead (If that matters, mech tag).
Who knew the mage gets a stronger board clear on an early turn? Sounds illegal to me. Still, this is how this expansion defines its power level. This will be such a good card for Mage since it's guaranteed to clear out most good two drops, and makes divine shield and reborn minion more useful (or let's say for now, for some specific classes like paladin and nonexistent midrange priest).
Siamet on my first thought: Nice flexible minion as 7-drop, Al'akir will surely get less play now. And speaking of mana cost, 7-Drop may seem like the Dr. doom spot, since it looks really decent. This card is going to see some play, and I predict that many new hidden cards are going to be as powerful as these cards.
I remember back in the Witchwood expansion, I started to think that one card who can deal against high health taunt cards like Witchwood Grizzly, mainly Crazed Alchemist. It's really a great card to try it out during the starting of expansion, because there's obviously a high expectation for anyone to try out high taunt minions, especially against aggro decks. Now this will be my second tryout for Crazed alchemist to step again into the game just for the starting days of expansion, but I think there are better aggro tools nowadays. (this is atleast somewhat BETTER than silence)
The card itself looks really stand out in the game. but... I can't tell much about it when it has an entirely new mechanic, so I can't wait to see the benefits of using this card or dealing with it in the game.
I was hoping paladin would get a big awesome minion with reborn effect in his epic slot. Not what I expected, but it looks playable at best comparing to paladin early game minions like drygulch jailor, meanstreet marshal, primalfin champion, etc. Sometimes paladin got a trash early game minions like those I mentioned, but currently, he has decent early game minions (if not, wild).
Why do I feel the 4/4 stat is better than 3/5? Feels like a huge difference if you take away 1 attack damage. I guess taunt should be legitimately better.

There was a redditor that made 10 mana dragon that has almost identical deathrattle effect. I bet he is so proud right now
Woah, with mediocre stat body and worthy discovery effect. This card looks perfect
Edit: even there is 2 mana guy that shuffles it, I think it still looks neat.

What’s this mystery choice? Sounds interesting to me.

Good card when it gets generated from Pharaoh Cat, instead of Generous Mummy.
Basically, everyone is crying in the corner. Welcome to the new expansions with high powerlevel cards.

Looking forward to more reborn minions.
Yeah probably I'm overthinking.
I think the taunt compared to 4/4 should able to help druids, alot.
