This card is amazing and makes midrange/control Shaman viable. Turn 8 Hallazeal + Lightning Storm is extremely strong and one that I will try out on release day.
Everyone comments about how face Shaman is a cancer so Blizzard releases a control card for Shaman and everyone comments how it's horrible..Go figure...
Sounds cool. Could create some crazy gameflipping turns with this and elemental destruction when the opponent has a huge board and you're at low HP. Maybe could see play in midrange/control? The body isn't bad either.
Nice stats, no overload.Still a bit skeptical people tend to overvalue healing personally I would prefer something to come back from a losing board or a way to activate totems (like a greater quartermaster) or a good standalone legendary like Tirion.
Cant believe people not thinking this card is good. The effect is amazingly versatile and could definitely open up a strong midrange or control Shaman. It just needs a few more support cards.
Why would anyone think this is mediocre? Sure with single target it's meh. But with AOE, this card is really strong.
A single lightning storm can easily give you 10+ HP.
A single elemental destruction can easily give you 20+ HP.
Example:
Turn 8. You have 1 minion on board, they have 4. You summon hallazeal + cast elemental destruction. 6*4-5 = 24-30HP heal. Basically a full board clear + full heal + you're still left with this legendary on board.
Looks like Blizzard really wants control Shaman to work. This card will definitely help a bit.

This card is amazing for an upcoming Midrange Shaman list.
The synergy with:
Lightning Bolt
Lightning Storm
Forked Lightning
Crackle
Lava Shock
Lava Burst
and Elemental Destruction is insane.
Pretty bad ass I think. Best card released so far...

i wouldn't say this is bad yet, but i had lots of expectations for shammy's legend this expansion. Seems decent but also very disappointing. =/
Looks playable.

Finally Shaman got something really nice. 8/8.
Much better than the The Mistcaller.

Very interesting. I'm very curious to see what new Shaman spells we get to compliment this.
