Great card. Definitely the second card I will craft upon expansion release. One thing, I'm not sure I understand his flavor text. Is there a joke in it?
Well for one his background lore shows that he is the bodyguard of Aya Blackpaw, who is the leader of the Jade Lotus.
It is also a joke or reference to Protoss zealots in SC who say "My life for Aiur!" When they are summoned. I'm pretty sure Aiur was their home planet which was overrun by Zerg but I could be wrong, just remember that line haha.
Ah. Thanks. I didn't get the reference.
How about this?
Mark my words. Ancestral Spirit is going to be huge. Not only usable on this guy but also usable on Jade Golems, which when resummoned will be +1 higher. Not to mention is still works on high priority targets now like Earth Elemental, Emperor Thaurissan & 7m4/4.
I welcome my Shaman Control overlords. They are the only ones that can spite the Shaman Mid-Range.
saddly for some stupid reason it doesnt work on the jades
He kinda reminds me of Kato (Green Hornet) or Kano (Venture Bros) but as a Pandarean! I guess it's the whole mysterious and silent bodyguard vibe with (seemingly) badass martial art skill. Sorry if those comparisons are too vague, anyone who's into Venture Bros probably gets it haha I just really like how Aya gets her own badass bodyguard like people in the show tend to.
I also really enjoy how, from a lore standpoint, they made each gang feel really unique from eachother. All the little details they added in the papers and each gangs lore pages just makes it so much for fun :D at least to me haha. I'm really glad this was the shaman legendary though, definitely gonna try and make a N'zoth deck with both White Eyes and Aya :)
Perfect for MIdrange Shaman.
Hoping this will make control shaman
I dont want to be this guy, but since everyone discussed the card already I want to talk about the artwork.
1 word. Amazing!
Hes gear is on fucking point. The turquoise/green/gold colors matched together...
Damn I want to dress like this everyday.. not to mention the epic green sword.
i want to see it in gold i bet is going to be stunning
What do you give the class that already has a 4 mana 7/7?
Amazing!
Equal 20/15 body huh... why did i decide to craft Raza instead of this again?
I actually like this card a lot in terms of design.
I think after tunnel trogg/totem golem rotate out, control shaman is gonna be the new thing alongside midrange shaman. I hope control shaman will be good
No no, Don't get me wrong...
fk aggro shaman (will probably die with the loss of Tunnel Trogg/Totem Golem)
fk spirit claws
go control shaman
go evolve shaman
At my first glance, this card looks very good. But, we must remember that shaman is already broken as hell. It has so many great cards to start with, it's difficult to squeeze this anti aggro card into a deck such as midrange shaman. It can probably take al-akir's place in midrange, but it mostly boosts control shaman, reno shaman and ancestral spirit shaman. Just imagine getting that combo to work. Gimmiky value decks will be ever so much more fun.
So all in all, it's a great card, but shaman already has so many great cards. Does not belong in every shaman deck, but will be a staple in every slower shaman deck for sure. Also, with all the priests we will see running around after gadgetzan w/ entomb, and shamans w/ hex, it may not be as effective and broken as predicted by so many people.
I think Blizzard printed this card to try and push out other shaman decks like N'zoth, anzestral, and Reno. Even though it's a great card, it won't see too much play in current shaman decks, which is good.
Just my initial thoughts. :P
