So, with the release of WotOG, I've been playing Midrange Shaman, and I'm wondering if people think that it's a good idea to play Eternal Sentinel on Turn 2 with no overloaded mana crystals if you have no other play to make. I'm honestly not sure. It has a wonderful battlecry that it seems a shame to waste, but it also has a good body. Right now, I'm waiting until I can get value off the battlecry. Your thoughts?
That's got a lot of variables to it. If you have a turn 3 overload card in hand, I'd say keep it and totem up, then you can do the t3 play and t4 clear the overload. If no overload in hand and you wanna smorc, play it, if you wanna control, totem.
Yeah this is complicated to answer. Against some matchups you would want to play it if you have no other 2 drop, but you certainly lose value for tempo
Really depends on the matchup and your hand. Against slower decks and with something like feral spirit in hand, I wouldn't play it probably. Against decks where you need the body on the board I'd play it on turn 2 usually unless I have a better 2-drop.

Body is Body i guess?
if your opponent has nothing on board, just think twice if you want to play it on T2 or not.
It depends i think, so yeah not much to say, just try it i would say :)
