This is pretty conditional. You need to spend 2 mana on a wisp and then play a powerful battlecry. And then that's it. Brann was significantly more powerful, you could tempo him out against aggro and then have the threat of some crazy battlecry. I'd probably prefer running Loot Hoarder over this, just draw another battlecry card.
See! I said when the legendary was released that they were trying to give battlecry shaman a go again! I'm really happy to see this, can't wait to use Rumbling Elemental in a wild elemental battlecry deck!
Even in standard you have the potential to do 20 damage in one turn with two of these and two Blazecaller.
How in the world are you planning on casting 2blazecaller and 2 of these in a single turn? That's 18 mana total!

Brann Bronzebeard lite version! Nice I like it! I used to love Brann Bronzebeard until it got too OP because of Jade Druid. Potential bonkers Combos are now possible with this card... Play Bonemare after this or Blazecaller or Kalimos = INSANE VALUE
how could anyone think this is bad? yeah it's weaker than brann overall, but it's cheaper and you can run two. the added flexibility is major. i could definitley see some kind of jade/elemental deck that has strong board presence but also a back pocket OTK plan.
It’s a way to get a free 6 mana minion and some bunch of other +4 mana minions with DK. Maybe is good with synergies ( obviously ) but only in constructed

One drawback (in view of Brann) is that it only counts for the next deathrattle. With brann, sometimes you did Brann, Jade Claws and Jade Spirit . That was 1 card (Brann) for 2 extra trigger (Body and Jade growth). Now you can only have 1 extra trigger for 1 card. Same with Stonehill Defender . In the lategame, you usually got 2 trigger off of Brann. That's not possible any more.

yeah, like i said - it's not as strong as brann. but brann was also semi-broken, a legendary, and is no longer in standard.
i mostly play wild, and i could imagine this seeing play there, possibly even in addition to brann. it's a strong effect, one that you probably want more than once a game if you're building around it.

Being two mana is also an advantage as you can combo it with 8 mana cards or with lower cost cards earlier.
It isn’t as good as Brann but it has a couple advantages and in wild I can certainly see decks running both Brann and this. There a tons of battlecries that are easily worth two mana to double up. The body itself is irrelevant unless combined with a buff battlecry, such as this into bonemare or DK, and the card would see use without it.
Honestly believe this is the most broken card of the set, purely because the deck types it support destroy psychic scream by getting more battlecrys and doesn't rely on board presence, which helps against all the OP AoEs released.
That and there's some seriously good battlecrys since Brann rotated out. 9 mana 8/8 buff from bonemare. 24 healing, 12 face damage or 6 AoE from kalimos. 12 heal from Jinyu. 10 damage face from blaze caller. Double jades. Double thrall evolve and 10 armour. Can combo it for card draw or with gorgon Zola for triple world breaker. 5 dopple gangsters for 7 mana. Double Marin Fox! :p Shaman is officially competitive. Most likely tier 1.
For jade this is better than the excelent Brann.
You can use x2 and Brann die almost 100% of the time after one doubled battlecry.

good card that work work with it well @shiang2017
thrall+ when having any board (quadruple evolve)
any jade card (3 cards aya, spirit and claws) very good!
kalimos
fire elemental
that guy that heals 3
This is a better Youthful Brewmaster for combo decks, would be insanely broken if it was neutral.
Love this card. Round 1 on Yogg was not enough. Now we can have round 2.
Seriously though, I hope this card is as good as I think. We need a fast battlecry deck and class to counter Psychic Scream.

Lol ifyou play two back to back the next battkecry trigger four times
Take a look at my most recent deck, Watch post, totem, menagerie shaman.

And i don’t even play Paladins
This is pretty good and I think it will see play.
4 totems + 1 murmuring elemental + 1 windshear stormcaller + 2x battlecry = 8 minions.
The 2nd battlecry wouldnt trigger.
Kalimos primal Lord best friend in elemental shaman.
They were not joking when they said Hearthstone was insanely addictive!
Shamental next tier 1 deck?
