Shift Lava Shock to Lava Beam

Lava Beam 1 Mana Either summon a Lava Totem (2attack/3 health) or Deal 2 damage and unlock your overloaded crystals

New Unbound Elemental Battlecray gain +1/+1 for each overload crystal you have.

Problem is solved.

1 mana 2/3? or 1 mana deal 2 damage,AND UNLOCK OVERLOADED MANA CRYSTALS?

OP much?

objectively better living roots much?

I have said this before and I will say it again:

The thing that I think cripples Shaman isn't so much the Overload itself so much as the lack of interaction with it. Warlocks used to be the same with discarding cards and now they are starting to get cards to synergize it with. Shaman needs Overload synergy, and so far there has only been 2 cards in a total that do it; Unbound Elemental and Lava Shock. Give Shamans more cards to work around or with the Overload and you might just get the class back on its feet. I theorycrafted a couple for my Dragon concepts, which I will post below.

 

What in the world are you talking about? Discard was always viable. Doomguard and soulfire were played immensely. The only exception was succubus. That's 66.66% of the cards. Soulfire was nerfed because it was op. Also, I don't believe the discard deck will ever be a thing unless they make something extremely op. The issue with shaman is overload, which can be solved by EITHER adding good overload synergy cards or buffing them. Giving shaman more overload synergy cards is the same thing as buffing the class.

the only reason doomgaurd is played is because the effect can be nullified with void caller and having an empty hand.

overload doesnt have that going for it.
