Easily killed by what? You guys are joking? The only "EASILY" things that can kill him is Hellfire / Shadowflame and Lightning Storm with Highroll or SP totem.
Just came here to say this card is really underrated imo and you explained why quite well :D
3 dmg board clear are rare enough and you're pretty happy when it's used to deal with this single minion.
Excavated Evil too...a lot of priests use that to get rid of Shaku
I got this guy from Lotus Agents, and I picked it just to see what its card sounds would be. I didn't get to hear what his attacking or death quote was but his summoning quote was "Succumb to darkness" and his voice was simply badass.
For a rather average Legendary, he has a really awesome summoning quote.
I got this guy in golden and his attacking quote is also pretty great. I think he says "Give in" (I may be wrong).
His sounds are probably the main reason he hasn't been disenchanted yet.
I like to think of this card as the Sha of Greed.
trash card
This does not deserve to be a legendary. The card is decent but it may as well be a common or rare. Why do Shamans and Priests get INSANE powerful legendaries and Rogues get a slightly better Undercity Huckster?
A slightly better? I can say that it's worse. 2 mana 2/2 is decent, but 3 mana 2/3 is terrible and in most cases it'll give you only 1 card anyway. I'd rather play Huckster
Shaku would be a good card if he had discover or steal spells only. 1/5 would be fine too.
With the unveiling of Jade Wanderer we are 3 for 3 in Rogue minions with stealth, one of them even with the ability to get it back, so I am predicting 1 or 2 cards for Rogue that specifically synergise with stealthed minions!
Not sure what but it would definitely make sense, and if it's good, it might prove a reason to use this instead of Undercity Huckster
That Gadgetzan Ferryman synergy! pogchamp
It just arrived with the on curve 'Shadow sensei' (name subject to change. 4 mana 4/4 buff stealth minion anyway). It is definitely powerful when it hits. perhaps play Silent Knight to increase the odds?

I found out how to make this card good, you only need to get it golden from and pack or get 4 of it then dust it and craft something else if you really want it you can get 2 with 200 dust.
Wait wait wait wait. So Blizz actually couldn't make this LEGENDARY minion 2/4 for 3 mana, but they made a powerful card like Flamewaker, 2/4 for 3 mana?
Ye that seems about right!
Legendary rarity doesn't have inherent meaning in relation to the stats of a minion. Flamewaker's power isn't its own. It relies on spells to activate its power, in this sense Flamewaker is weaker.
When you top deck Flamewaker on empty hand it will be slightly weaker than Shaku on an empty hand. Shaku would be able to draw a card on its next turn.
You don't want to play Flamewaker on curve or with no cheap spells on your hand. Shaku can be played almost anytime except when you expect AoE.
Lastly, these are 2 different cards of 2 classes that play differently. Comparing these cards together makes no sense.
at least nice artwork
Other class gets insane value cards,while rogue? Invest a few mana and you will maybe get a good card from your opponent.
Anyone considered using Darkspeaker?
