Why is this epic? I mean, other than the obvious reason (everyone wants two now). Typically I was under the impression that rarity meant something beyond "we assign these at random", and that epic cards typically had some interesting, unique, impactful thing going on. This is more like Arcane Blast - epic for no good reason, really. This should be a rare.
The same cost of Lava Shock? Can't say this is better then Lava Shock. Lava shock deals 2 damage to whatever... can even be lethal,
Lava Shock => Control
This guy => Board presence
Eternal Sentinel is better than Lava Shock in many control situations. Most Shaman overload cards are attached to spells that deal damage and after clearing a board you want something on the board to trade into your opponents next minon. Most of the time lava shock goes face because you couldn't afford to start your next turn with 5+ overloaded mana. This guy can go face or trade the next turn, something lava shock could never do. In overload shaman decks this is a must have, and you can even drop lava shock to make space for it. In face shaman they are* possibly* interchangeable since Whirling Zap-o-matic just opened up a 2 mana minion slot.
Incredible card. Shaman needed this card since beta.

But seriously? This card is hella good.
Watching the stream on turn 10 against a full board there was Hallazeal + elemental destruction + this : result: board clear, full hp, no overload.
JUST
SICK.
The end is coming!
Incredible card art. Tempted to play Shaman just for this card and evolve mechanics.
Close to broken.
now we have 4 cards in a deck to unlock overload mana, wow, Shaman would be top tier after this expansion
very nice card, good synergy as well
9.5/10
good stats, great art, amazing ability
If evolution is outlawed, only outlaws will evolve.
