Spiritsinger Umbra + Innervate X2 + Living Mana on turn 5 = Astral Communion that fills your board with 2/2s
This card can be really funny played on wild decks!!
I'm using Umbra in a ramp druid deck with Giant Anaconda and a bunch of high cost minions such as Ragnaros, Chromaggus and Arcane Giants. Might not be the best card in the expansion but it's sure as hell the most fun :D.
If she survives turn 4 turn 5 I play innervate/Giant Anaconda and whatever big ass minion is in my hand. So much fun...
What Dreadsteed decks needed to remain competitively viable a year ago, sad this card is best in Wild but it's sooo much fun in the right deck.

Combos with dreadsteed:)
Seriously though, Umbra might be my favorite card from this expansion. Just playing her on turn 5 with a Crystalline Oracle is already pretty good.
I immediately fell in love with this card and crafted it, simply because of her entrance music..
terrorscale stalker better than this
I hate to say but I think that's incorrect. Terrorscale Stalker has negative synergy with most hunter decks because it's not a beast.
ArielAtom must not know about the turn 2 kindly grandmother into turn 3 terrorscale for a 3 mana 3/3 summon a 3/2
I am liking this guy quite a bit in Deathrattle Priest Quest. Typically I play him into an empty board and hope for no hard removal, or - perhaps more wisely - I'll drop him on the same turn as a deathrattle guy so I have some instant value even if he's removed. Great card, especially if you manage to keep it alive for a bit.
Just a few things I wish were different: I wish he cost 3 instead of 4, and then he'd be a 2/4 instead of a 3/4, and I wish he triggered Battlecry effects instead of Deathrattle, and that he was a dwarf instead of a turtle. With those minor tweaks, this would be a perfect card - but it's still pretty good as-is. :-D
I crafted a Golden Umbra, to get the extra value you know..
But apparently, his effect doesn't work. The deathrattles he triggers AREN'T golden. I really don't get why, is this a bug, a glitch or just a stupid decision Blizzard took? It is retarded. The deathrattles he triggers should also be golden - not regular. N'Zoth provides golden minions, so why shouldn't he? Blizzard, fix this, please. Or at least give me my 3200 dust back.
Because a golden Loot Hoarder wouldn't draw a none golden card as golden.
To clarify, golden cards work as follows:
Golden cards created or added to your hand are golden, but cards DRAWN by golden cards are not made golden.
Similarly, cards that are summoned by golden cards, like N'Zoth, the Corruptor are golden, but not cards that have already been played. As a rule of thumb, cards cannot be "made" golden.
Interestingly enough, targetting a golden minion with a card like Silvermoon Portal, Firelands Portal, and Moonglade Portal will make the minion summoned by that card also be golden. Note that Firelands Portal and Moonglade Portal will summon golden minions if used on a golden hero.
Hope this clarifies things a bit.
Or if you're unfamiliar with the way Hearthstone's mechanics are put together you can wait and do some research on whether Umbra actually works that way. Crafting right away is a dumb mistake tbh.
Spiritsinger Umbra may activate other cards effects e.g. Cairne Bloodhoof but the effect still belongs to another card. In this example if Cairne Bloodhoof is gold it will have a gold deathrattle, otherwise Umbra activates the effect of a non-gold card.
Put this card in a Wild N'Zoth Shaman, and it's been pretty incredible. Played it with Sylvanas Windrunner and an Emperor Thaurissan tick to steal one minion, then played Reincarnate to get another steal and resummon her, which triggered Umbra again for three steals in one turn.
