Is it just me or did anyone else hope that Brode would say Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker?
So essentially play this in Evolutionary Shaman and pray for Evolve?
Unbelievably bad card.
But can't complain after all the love shaman got the last 2 expansions.
Unite the Murlocs... Kalimos (kind of)... Moorabi... "love", sure
Spear of Yogg-Saron
The Tortollan Primalist you can actually hold in your hand!
Omg this is so bad :C Moroes level bad, if not worse...
If your hero was a Mage. Shamans do not have Fireball. If anything, they would Lava Burst themselves and overload 2 mana next turn.
8 mana 0/0 weapon
When you unpack this, disenchant-it for 400 dust
i mean seriously, how the hell are we going to play this?
Concede shaman new meta
Well... At least this weapon being soooo shitty makes the others a tiny bit more viable since this lowers the need for putting Swap Ooze in every single deck.
You damn right sir.
So shaman will be deleted as a class? I see...
Obviously Blizzard isn't done retiliating against Shamans for Tunnel Trogg's dominance the past few years. But this pay back hurts...
Ah the Gadgetzan Shamanstone meta! You remember pre-nerf STB and Spirit Claws, Trogg, Golem, 4 mana 7/7, Sir Finley HP swaps, some serious burn, even Jades and your boy Patches all rolled into the beast that was Aggro Shaman? The only decks that could beat it were Control Warrior and Reno Mage/Warlock. Yeah, I loved every coin flip game where I either drew my clears or Reno--hell, even got to turn 4 or 5. The mental damage that I have suffered over the past seasons because of that 1 drop truly cannot be understated lol...makes me kinda glad that every garbage Shaman card, like Runespear, Blizz reveals feels like retribution for Trogg + Coin + Trogg into Totem Golem and the SMOrc that followed
The power level of this is certainly questionable, and I would have preferred...just about anything else, but it compares rather interestingly to vinecleaver. -1 attack and +1 mana, but the effect will usually be much more powerful than two recruits. Vinecleaver may not see play, but it certainly isn't a trash tier card either.
Food for thought.
Vinecleaver is a playable card in wild pala recruits deck.
And will see play with that KnK buff spell in standard soon.
The only place I can see this being used is in control shaman, and even then it's probably not that good. We'll have to wait and see.
