After reading it a couple more times and thinking about it.
I think it does the following, as it's the best of both worlds: 6 mana summon 4 2/2 treants with rush.
You could be right there. Didn't think about it that way. Honestly, with Blizzard, you never know.
With Ossirian Tear active, does this summon 4 treants?
Based on my understanding of the card and hearthstone's mechanics, I would say that with Ossirian Tear, you would have to spend 8 mana; summon the first 4 treants without rush, then summon another 3 (maxing your board space) with rush. The wording isn't perfectly clear, but that's my best guess for how it will work. Cannot confirm.
I think you would have to be right. If you played this with Keeper Stalladris, surely it would give you one card that reads "Summon 4 2/2 Treant Totems." And another card that would read "Overload: (2) Summon 4 2/2 Treant Totems with Rush."
Turn 1 - Coin, Lightning Bloom x 2, Runic Carvings, Totemic Might or Totemic Surge or both = Creature on board 3 times 2/2 or 4/2 or 6/2 or 4/4 or 2/4 or 2/6 depend on what you drew.
Turn 2 - Nothing, you are overload for 6 mana. Yet you can attack for 6/12/18 damage.
and it is totems for shaman extra spice. it is a problematic card.
This is incredible tempo for treant druids in wild, and like a TON more synergistic Rain of Toads in totem shaman. 14/10 card.
