This card upsets me as someone who reached golden shaman before old gods came out, I was so excited to finally see if Earth Elemental would be viable but then this shit comes out? Costing one less and having one less overload? Shaman still would have been powerful even WITHOUT this card, but instead now every scrub who played secret paladin switched over to aggro shaman. This card is an absolute fucking cancer.
EDIT; What's even the point of fucking fireguard destroyer now?
Aside from Wombo-combos with Brann? Not much at all. I could actually see Blizzard nerfing this card in the future. A 7/7 for 4 mana is too much. Had it been Overload 4, then this kind of statline would be fine, since you can't play Eternal Sentinel (which is actually a balanced card) or Lava Shock the following turn. Either they do that, or they lower it's health. 7 Health is just shy from fireball removal, so you HAVE to use Hard removal on the turn it's played, or else you just flat-out lose the game. I hate this card with a passion in Constructed play, as it turned what used to be my favorite class into a a braindead face class. And unlike Face-hunter, the Face-Shaman's minions have a decent rate of survival, thanks to Overabundant health.
People laughed at my deadly shot
LOOK WHO IS LAUGHING NOW!!!!
Had this played against me back to back turns early. Mulched first one, concede second. Fuck this expansion.
Guess you need to craft BGH. Every Druid normally runs a BGH as it's their best removal.
This minion's name is bugged i guess. His true name should be ''Conceder Faceless''. I just don't bother. Turn 4,5,6 doesn't matter, whenever my oppenent puts him on the board i tell him/her ''well played'' and concede. it's the best counter for this dude...
You need to be running cheap class removals and/or a BGH. Learn to counter a 4+2 mana vanilla minion and you will soar in the ranks.
It's fucking worse than Secret Pally, that shitfest was way easier to play around.
Either run BGH or play a class with good removals. Some classes are stronger than others, play the ones that are good at this time in this meta. Paladins are still strong.
Aggro Shaman is NOT worse than Secret Palladin. People are going as far as saying that hitting legend with Secret Paladin really doesn't count. Mysterious Challenger gets you soooo much good stuff for 6 mana, and his statline is barely touched. If you wanna do the same thing without MC, you'd have to first draw all secrets you have (and card draw is like worth 1 mana, so multiply that by 3-5), then you get to actually play the stuff for free (so that's another 3-5 mana you'd have to pay normally). And finally, as the cherry on top, you also get a 6/6 Minion. That's like what... 12-16 mana worth of stuff for Just 6 Mana? While you get 6.5 Mana worth of stuff on turn 4 with a Drawback (Small one, but it's there nontheless. You do actually pay the cost in full, unless you get Eternal Sentinel or Lava Shock). It's not even a close comparison. lol
I love how this card completely shits on my favourite card of the game Fireguard Destroyer
I tought after the rotating of Shredder it would see some play but...
Why? Fireguard Destroyer would be a perfect four drop even for aggro decks. And it would be more balanced. Then Blizzard created this.. the god of 4 drops..
This is a joke. Im actually triggered.
Blizzard, why did you make this card? No, seriously, why did you make this card? Not only is it overpowered in constructed with how cheap it is, but it's also overpowered in Arena since it's a common!
Let's take a look at another Shaman card, Earth Elemental. A 5 Mana 7/8 with Taunt that Overloads you for 3 mana, and it's an epic. Now let's look at Flamewreathed Faceless. 4 Mana 7/7 that Overloads you for 2, and it's a common. So basically on turn 4, you get a War Golem, and that downside isn't really much of a downside as you only overload for 2, so you can still play a strong 3 cost card, or play one of the cards that unlocks your mana crystals. What were they thinking?!
7/7 for 4 mana? OP as hell of course :)
Why would you not put this in your shaman deck?
You are a complete fucking idiot... Get the fuck off here with your stupid no sense statements...
Broken af please remove
Ridiculous is there even a 6 mana 7/7?? overload even without unlock overload crystals and other overload synergy is a great mechanic
This card alone is a big reason for Shaman's jump in the arena rankings, which feels great but so dirty when you play it yourself.
i have to saw... faced opponents with this in the deck... it's crazy... difficult to remove at such early game.
This card makes me wanna play Shaman again. Simply too OP and hard to remove.
