this is less good than everyone believes. Sure it is a decent minion. But when do you want to play a 3-2 minion? on turn 2, but then this minion has no effect at all and is best played on turn 4 with 2 mana overload. Its good , but lessgoodthan for example Darnassus Aspirant which is actually best on turn 2
You're not wrong, but it's not like it's not like every 2-drop in your deck should be played on turn 2 anyway. Shaman already has Totem Golem and maybe Flame Juggler. As for Darnassus Aspirant, it ends up becoming more and more vanilla as the game goes on, so the 2 cards are kind of opposite in function, making them hard to compare.
NOOOOOO!!!
Why did this have to be an epic!? I want to play shamans overload cards but the only other Unlock your Overloaded Mana Crystals is Lava shock and that's deep in black rock and i will be spending my dust on a Twilight hammer and a charged hammer......
its only 400 dust, just play a little bit of arena..
umm, git rich?
Way better than Lava Shock. 2 mana 3/2 is good tempo on it's own, but it unlocks Mana Crystals, which is a really nice bonus!
This + flamewreathed faceless= 6 mana 10/9... why...
this card is good but not better than lava shock.
it is more for insurance for when lava shock gets removed next rotation.
This is better than lava shock in most cases. Lava shock doing something siginifcant on an overload turn is fairly situational. You can easily drop this card anytime when overloaded or on curve if you need a 2 drop. This card is useful more often than lavashock.
deal 2 dmg is 1 mana, a 3/2 is 2 mana, so this is strikt better. also you can run both for an heavy overload deck.
Yes I asked Hearthstone team for a card like this in twitter
They made it real :)) .......... Now I can make my desired overload deck
I believe a step in the right direction. Although we need a card that negates overload completely(ie, does not apply)
Finally a minion that unlocks overload... midrange/control shaman is officially back
This card is insane! :o it's scary good
I wonder why this is an epic tho... I mean, epics usually do some weird/gimmicky thing. But this is just Lava Shock 2.0
It's not correct to just call this lava shock 2.0. Lava shock is a reactionary card that requires your opponent to have something to target to get value, and even then 2 damage is a sub-par effect for 2 mana, where as a 3/2 for 2 is both standard for the cost and not situational at all. I don't know why the hearthstone community is so uninterested in old effects being applied to new cards. Like that effect may have just become playable and something that was only available to joke decks might now be in a T1 deck. To me that's exciting.
This card is simply great! Will see a lot of play :)
Finally, an answer to overload for the non malygos shamans!
Probably one of my top 10 OP cards in this set
Really does rival Totem Golem as one of the best 2 drops, for shaman at least. I cant imagine one shaman deck that wouldn't want this card.
Blizzard Realizing playing Lava shock feels awkward.
Example: Elemental Destruction + Eternal sentinal
