Maly in hand, play electra stormsurge, play Eureka and get double maly on board + lightning bolt = 13 damage to face. And you have 2 malys on the board + a 3/3. Not even that hard to pull off I think. Could even bounce Electra with Grumble during the game to get it to 1 mana and have more room for spells and do an otk.
Whether this works better than Shudderwock is another thing...
You mean undercosted right? Or you really want a card can put a LK or Ysera for less than 6 manas without any downside putting a free random minion from opponent hand?
Do you realize you need to have only that one minion in your hand to be sure you will not waste it? This card is at least one mana too much considering the limited situations in which you can safely use it.
It is not that hard to control the minions in your hand, play the cheaper ones in turns 1 to 5 before the turn of this spells or in very worst scenario delay the spell, in turn 8 a totem + 2 attack + Al'Akir is far from bad.
Shudderwock takes too long to setup and requires far more minions to play. I actually think this is a doable combo. You play a spell focused Shaman deck with a few big bombs. Removal and Healing.
This is a copy of the minion, meaning you still can play it later and dealing with multiple minions that are powerful is hard enough.
think you have far sigh in your hand you draw this card and now this card cost 3 mana.. in turn 6 you use the new legendary and this spell and you can put 2 earth elementals in board or inclusive if you have the snow fury giant 2 snow fury haha
"The flow of time is always cruel... its speed seems different for each person, but no one can change it... A thing that does not change with time is a memory of younger days..."
Underwhelmed... ya its got upside but its also super situational, except in the late by, at which point, you've already lost or could have just played your Malygos combo, LK or whatever... pass
Only way I can see this being any good is if you're playing a big shaman deck with lots of big value minions (ysera/lich king etc) or a maly deck with maly being the only minion in your deck since the effect is random as you won't want it summoning something useless. xD

Rumors are carried by haters, spread by fools, and accepted by idiots.
Something else people don't mention yet, you don't summon the minion, you summon a copy of the minion, in a value perspective this is awesome, you have another copy of a powerful minion for less mana and if opponent hard remove your minion you still have the card advantage.
Put a Ysera copy for 6 manas, get the dream card, opponent transform or destroy your Ysera, you still have the Ysera in hand, the dream card and the opponent spend a resource to answer your treat.
Really people think this is a bad card? It is in the edge to be broken as hell, well, probably are the same people said 5 manas lackey don't will see any play...
You have to make sure that you have no weak minion in your hand when you play this card. This means you would have to play a spell heavy deck or a atleast mainly big minions. Shaman lacks the spells to do that atm. No good card draw, no ramp, iffy removal with overload. Shaman would need like another good removal and a card draw spell as well as maybe a controlish weapon. For now this seems unplayable outside of some meme decks that work 1 or 2 times out of 10.

Shudderwock Shaman wouldn't want to play this spell and Overload Shaman outside of Wild Aggro featuring Tunnel Trogg and the like hasn't been a competitively viable archetype since when, 2015?
Interesting card. Has a major benefit over standard big/recruit decks in that you can still put lower cost minions in your deck to help contest the board early on; you just have to dump them before you play this.
Better than Warrior recruit card in a lot of cases, you have more control over what you summon. Also Shaman is a stronger class as whole than Warrior atm so I think this card will be at least good.

Lmao at people saying 6 mana is too much for this. It gives a full stated minion for 6. Its obviously for a big persistent effect minion
wat

This is a more consistent combo deck.

4 cards 20 damage: Eureka, Cahrged Devilsaur, Windury and Rockbitter Weapon

If they add a Radiant Elemental in Shaman, this creates a broken combo
Radiant Elemental look alike + Electra Stormsurge + Eureka! (double Malygos ) = free big Frost Shock and Lightning Bolt

I'll just leave this here.

any card named eureka should include the discover mechanic
Anger is the punishment we give ourselves for someone else's mistake.
Was wondering this. Thanks.
Ideas on how to get more variety in the meta and card pool.
Agreed. Looking forward to Dane's crazy decks with this set.
