Amazing! Can't wait!
Huhu...
Overload - Reload Deck I am coming ! Let's you spam overload cards (Earth Elemental, Doomhammer, Crackle... you name it). I guess this card will change Shaman decks quite a bit ! Just imagine 2 Earth Elementals in turn 6 (with coin). Nice! Will give a lot of options and will make it harder to counter Shaman.
Like it!
cant do that and also play this the next round because you dont have 2 mana to cast this...
turn 5: Earth Elemental.
Turn 6: Coin, Lava Shock, another Earth Elemental.
That's why I said with Coin. So you do have the mana to pull that of.
I think that Mr JR jr was thinking that you'd play both of them on turn 6
From a purely analytic view, this is an excellent card. We can compare this to Holy Smite/Arcane Shot. Each of those deal 2 damage for 1 mana. Surely, unlocking all of your overloaded crystals is worth more than 1 mana? Plus, Shaman has fairly decent access to Spell Power, potentially boosting this into a Darkbomb.
Props to the guy who said Earth Elemental. New age Crusher Shaman. XD
This will be tricky to use for sure.
Easily a shaman staple card.
2dmg is sufficient for most pesky aggro 1-2mana minions.
Plus a gamechanger at turn 3-5 with lightning bolt/crackle/feral spirit/lightning storm.
Lets face it - how many spells can you put into your shaman deck? 2 damage for 2 mana is kinda meh. Maybe burn shaman deck?
Yeah burn was the first thing I thought of. I want to finally see a good burn deck in this game...we will see if it can happen.

Here is one I tried: it's about burn for early to late game along with heavy minions for the later game.
OMG, Shamans coming back ya'll!!!!!!!!!

Looks like Shaman is back on the menu boys! The turn 5 tempo plays are insane with this in combination worth Storm and Spirits. The main downside of this card I feel is that early game it can't deal with the myriad of 2/3s that are running rampant, but this card is definitely worth testing out. I'm so pumped!
True, but there are easily more 3/2s than 2/3s, and for the few lucky 2/3s, Shaman has plenty more easy removal to take care of them.
Earth Elemental All I have to say. NEW META
Assuming you run 2x Earth Ele + at least 1 other 7+ attack guy like Dr. Boom/Rag/Etc. I don't think you'd be upset about a BGH on your Earth Elemental at all.
Ancestor's Call your Earth Elemental and their BGH. True value.
I don't think BGH necessarily makes Earth Elemental unplayable, I just think you have to commit to the big guys if you are going to run it...so a BGH doesn't make as much of a difference. Neptulon would work well in such a deck (and further synergize with Lava Shock). Ancestor's call also be a nice addition if you focused on heavy minions.
There might be some cool new deck to come out of this. I hope so at least. Here is one I tried to make:

Shaman definitely needed this. Alot of his overload cards are amazing but sometimes could really add up and slow your tempo down. I think we may see the resurrection of Unbound Elemental.
Omfg!!! THIS CARD!!! Now, I got some hope for my Golden (old school) Shammy <3
