Why doesn't this appear when I search for overload?

i like golden animation

How about now? =D

Hallazeal the Ascended

This is better than double Hellfire for multiple reasons.

• This is one card. Double Hellfire is two.
• Having 5 overload is better than paying 5 mana up front. You can play a minion right away to take command of the board.
• Double Hellfire does 6 damage to both heroes. If your opponent has a board where a global board clear gets value, you're behind enough that 6 damage to your face could kill you or put you in range of a direct damage lethal.
• Double Hellfire does 1-2 more damage to minions, but that actually doesn't mean much. If your opponent is playing 6 health minions, why not use Shaman's arsenal of single target removal instead? (Hex, Crackle, and the like)

Also, it's a Shaman card, not a Warlock card. Shaman doesn't have as many AOE options as Warlock, so having a second AOE might enable some new play. Not to mention they can play around overload as well, while being more likely to boost spell power.

Lava Shockcombines great to clear any survivors.

- No you didn't.

So if played on T3, do you go into -5 negative mana on T4, and normal mana on T5?

Or overload for 4 on T4, and 1 remaining in T5?

Assuming it works like double Dust Devil on turn one, you'd be overloaded for 5 on turn 4.

It only overloads the next turn. 

So I assume the play with this card is THIS and Earth Elemental and two mana left, then lava shock to unlock 8 mana crystals on the next turn.......
But seriously......killing your own minions really isn't a good deal......yes Shaman has the fireguard destroyers......and you can use ancestral healing.....but then that seems too many cards for a simple board stabilisation....

This looks best as a Malygos Shaman tool, for two reasons.

• Malygos Shaman already is very, very light on minions to avoid Ancestor's Call bringing out anything but Malygos, so this will hit only your opponent's minions a majority of the time.
• This card combos with Lava Shock. In Malygos Shaman, Lava Shock can also be used for 7 burst damage, so it can either be used with this card to cancel the overload or with Malygos to kill the opponent.

why cant shaman have a board clear that you can know HOW MUCH DAMAGE YOU DO

You know you will always deal the minimum, you don't know whether you will deal the maximum.

your wish has been granted, Maelstrom Portal (powercreep too, because shaman is the *worst class* right now

this is a nightmare in arena... hahaha

5 mana board clear since you will most likely play this with Lava Shock

Surprisingly accurate flavor text. Might see play in Malygos shaman, if that's viable.

Don't let the overload scare you!!!!!! You can play this turn 5 and lava shock for a turn 6 thaurisson!!!!!!
OTK shaman (malygos or windfury combo) is coming back!!!!!!!!
