Will I play this is my Shaman deck? No.
Will I we happy every time this comes out of Witch's Caludron? ABSOLUTELY.
Every time ? It can be useless in many situations.
You'll eat your own words when you'll need to get an hex or a heal and you get this instead.
Half of the time, you can use these 1/1 rush to trade with your opponent, getting 2 more spells. I think this has more chance to get spell you want, unless you are 1 mana short, of course
I love when I come back to a dumbass reply and the site has already spoken.
It gives you that little swing you need against your opponent to make the best board clear overall.
I expect to get most of these as the rare in my boomsday packs
If you play wild, that might not be too bad.
Spark is a non-collectable 1/1 Neutral Minion with Rush, and the Elemental tag
Oh wow...glad it's elemental! Has some extra synergy with the 2+2 ability on turn 3/3.
Not great but solid. Would work well in a shaman zoo deck.
Play two of these with a bloodlust! Board clear-ish. ISH. lol
So... agressive decks can't really run this because early overload kills aggro (and the effect doesn't justify it), 1 mana deal 2 is pretty bad, and acting like 1/1s will survive lategame to be buffed by Earthen Might is way too optimisitc.
The only way I see this being good is if you drop this next to a wolf or fire totem, its pretty decent there. But its not like Midrange/Token Shaman has been a thing in a year.
You've seen aggro shaman right? Or midrange shaman?
They overload one their first 3-4 turns unless they draw trogg
this is very very good in a lot of decks, It's just not enough oomf for control to run and haha aggro shaman
I started playing in KOFT, and the only remotely aggressive shaman deck I've ever seen in standard is Even Shaman. Which can't run this.
I also only just started playing wild and haven't come across any overload/midrange shamans yet.
the decks been nerfed and it's not as good anymore. Too much healing in the meta at the moment.
But in standard it would still be utterly insane beyond all reason.
It was the strongest deck for nearing the longest time
It's... ok?
Lost in the Jungle or Alleycat, with Rush and Overload. Worse on turn 1, better at any later point.
Unlike the other two cases, Shaman has not too many ways to profit from 1/1s on the board, but a few. With Flametongue Totem or Bloodlust, it is a pretty decent removal. The tokens might be Elementals, and can be played with Earthen Might. In a Token-oriented deck, it can draw two cards with Cult Master.
It's sort of a mini Unleash the Hounds, that can't deal face damage.
I think it's alright. Maybe some Shaman deck will find use for it. But given how the class performs outside of Shudderwock right now, it's not too promising either.
I can see it being used. Shaman could use some good turn one plays besides Fire fly.
Can also be added to a Bloodlust turn if you need to push through some taunt.
Tunnel Trogg's ex-girlfriends before he went and had a hot affair with Totem Golem. This is such a beautiful love story.
We all know that love affair ended in a 7 on 7 party on turn 4
@Rimousqui
That is Totem Golem's dad. :^)
