If it were an Elemental it would totally make it into my Elemental Shaman. But now he doesn't fit. :-(
The day has come!
This card should totally be a Elemental!
It should! He is an elemental ascendant.
"When asked in a ticket, a Blizzard representative stated that elemental ascendants are considered fully elementals." -wowwiki
http://wow.gamepedia.com/Elemental_ascendant - "Elemental ascendants, or twilight ascendants , are a new type of elementals introduced in World of Warcraft: Cataclysm"
EDIT: Finally Hallazeal the Ascended is an Elemental! We did it boyz
Blizzard didn't want to make Shaman the dominant class again, would easily make control shaman upper tier 2, if not tier 1. Personally, I'd be fine with that, because I think control shaman is really cool and loads of fun to play, but yeah enough of shaman on ladder for a while.
But they did made Al'akir, Ragnaros and some others into Elementals ...
Fair point. And now that Elemental Shaman has not proven to be a dominant force in the meta, I think my previous comment is most likely incorrect. It seems to have fallen out of favor at least in Standard, as it's effect is not that strong without Elemental Destruction, but still, a very fun card indeed. You really don't need Reno when cards like this exist.

Hello, Patrick!

Hallazeal the Ascended: U mad bro?
This was the first Legendary I opened from my Old Gods preorder and I was so disappointed. I HATE SHAMAN, I said.
Months later, I'm considering crafting a golden one.
Shaman is an amazing class that's woefully overshadowed by the handful of cards that enable it to be so aggressive. I've never had more fun in Hearthstone than playing control Shaman. It's versatile, it's challenging, it's swingy, and it's relatively powerful, but nowhere near the point of being overpowered. I'm just crossing my fingers that cards like Tunnel Trogg and Totem Golem rotating will tone things down a bit so Blizzard don't get too heavy-handed and nerf bat anything prematurely.
Yeah I've been running him in my hybrid shaman & Control/Ancestal Shaman
You're forgetting you can pop just the Elemental Destruction on turn 3, or wait until turn 4 / 5 (4 if you save the coin) and Lava Shock along with it. You can later use Hallazeal with smaller stuff like Lightning Storm or maybe even just Lightning Bolt
