This looks OP. For only 6 mana, you get the triple trigger, and you don't even need to play it that turn. Then you get the 1 mana version too. I don't love the "can't damage the enemy hero" part, because it feels really clumsy. Obviously, this is a good restriction to put in place, given what we've seen Shudderwock do in the past, but it lacks finesse. I'm also curious to see where it applies and where it doesn't. For example, minions that cast spells as a Battlecry (like Nagaling or the Slimes from the new Hagatha card), can the spells they cast damage the enemy hero?

This is amazing! I am really happy about the "No face damage" part, but it does not stop it from getting some stupid OTKs going. It would be great even without a mini.
This expansion is shaping to be one of my favourites.
Also you could play this in wild with some Highlander cards for some sweet payoffs like alextrazza. But hey, it is probably too slow for something like that.

This is very strong. Repeating Battlecries is usually a winning formula even if it comes with a slightly tricky stipulation. However, I'm not sure how much I'll care about hurting the opponent with all the cool Battlecries I'll be repeating. 10/10 for fun, 9/10 for power.
I have spoken.
That's one of these cards that have extremely high potential, but I'm actually struggling to find any battlecry you really want to trigger thrice.
Maybe I can't see beyond my regular Shudderwock trauma but I already hate it. Even if it isn't bonkers off the bat, chances are high Shaman will get an insane Battlecry during the next 2 years that somehow works despite the damage restriction. Also note that it doesn't say "this turn" so there's no Mana cap on a combo with another card.
I notice I am confused. Something I believe isn't true. How do I know what I think I know?

The cost keeps me from thinking this OP. But it pains me to know only Objection can MAYBE stop one half of this.
If it's not strong now, it'll definitely be strong later. Copying Battlecries that many times is pretty nuts. Who cares about the lack of face damage when there's other really strong Battlecries to copy that can put you in just as good of a position to win the game.
Strongest legendary in this year for sure, will broke the game sooner or later
This will breake the game at some point. Thats for sure.
There are definitely ways to work around this restriction and I'm all for it when that happens!
I'm not sure if this will see much play in this meta, probably just as a value card, but in the future this is an otk maker. Either that or it's one of those cards that everyone thinks it's good but it actually sees no play
If not now, then at least at some point in its existsence, this card will break something.
That's a ton of Battlecries. Very fun card!
Yeah, this looks nut. Especially since it's Miniaturize, so you can do it again. Good thing it has that restriction, otherwise it would be insanely easy to do an OTK.
Even ignoring the Miniaturize Keyword, if Shudderblock isn't broken this expansion, he's almost certain to break the next one. The fact that you also get a (1) 1/1 that does the exact same tripler effect is similarly crazy. I'm just glad that the balance team had the forethought to add that "can't damage enemy heroes" as the only drawback, and force people to be more creative.
Hey, you heard about that Mario guy?
Can't wait to see the n00bs wasting the Battlecry on the mini. (Spoiler: It won't do anything.)
