Card Text: Battlecry: Summon ANY random Totem Golem.
Well you got your wish.
lol nice
"Did you bring some Totem Golems?"
I wouldn't hate this card if it wasn't for the fact that Shamans have become the new aggro cancer.
Now im hating this card, it seems like after the old gods update the rng got skewed and for whatever reason it is dropping out the collectible totems more often than not.
I was playing against a shaman who coined out Totem Golem on turn 1. I flipped when I saw it, and it took my turn 2 and 3 to kill it.
Then he played this, and it summoned another Totem Golem. I was about ready to pass out.
I really tried to like this card, but it's just an "okay" card. You might be fooled into thinking that this card is great because even the worst totems it can summon make this a 4/3 or 3/4 for 3 mana, which seems fine especially since it has a chance to make possibly game winning totems like totem golem and mana tide. In reality, it's too unreliable and the worst case scenarios are actually quite bad because those 4/3 or 3/4 stats are split across two bodies one of which will most likely die for free. It plays into lot of board clears too. Maybe if they release more powerful totems, but I'd pass right now.
tuskar is one of the top 3 drops in the game lol. 50% of the time it is *Slightly* below average, half the time it's WAY better than curve. Totem golem, mana tide, and flametongue can win games by them selves early on.
Even when I only get a searing totem, it still feels good.
Much like the old Warsong Commander did for minions with 3 or less attack, this guy limits the design space for totems. Getting Totem Golem out of this is already worth almost 5 mana, so a bigger totem is out of the question, and they'll have to be careful about which effects they put on new totems. But unlike the Commander, Tuskarr Totemic is far from broken — it's a well-balanced card, and it may very well be a pivotal 3-drop in Shaman decks of the future... assuming that people actually play Shaman.
There's no reason why this couldn't have been a 3/3, especially considering it's a Shaman card.
This card has huge value regardless of the totem you recieve.
The reason why, summoning any random totem is 2 mana (hero power) making this a 1 mana 3/2 that can trade into all any minion with 3 or less health including Piloted Shredder
Getting a more valuable totem only increases the value.
However as mentioned sometimes this card can only be as good as a Razorfen Hunter if you don't have any other cards that synergies with totems.
holy cow, his golden animation it's awesome. I got him, totem golem and a crappy epic out of my ranked chest. I almost cried
Those guys seem to be giving me Mana Tide Totems all the time. I love those guys)
I've played 4 games against this dude an all he has summoned was Totem Golem
What are the drop rates? Geeeeeeze
The RNG on this card can be very punishing for the opponent. I know I lost a couple of times because of it.
