In the worst case you can turn your totems into 2 mana? minions. Otherwise it seems pretty good to get most things on 6+ mana (ideally after they have been damaged or got off a useful battlecry).
Pretty good card! Obvious upsides include it being a good play to drop it as a Yeti on turn 4, but you can also play something on turn 3, trade, and if it survives, get two four drops. Imagine playing Shade turn 3, and then turn 4 getting a 4/5 and another 4/5 or a 5/6. Sounds preeeety good.
I would see this as a 4/4 for 4, battlecry give a friendly minion +1/1 (on average ofc). It seems strong at a glance but when you look at the numbers it's not too overwhelming. Some other things worth noting:
- There are some targets that are better than others, Using this on a Totem Golem is a pretty bad move since 9/10 times you'll lower it's stats, But a Tuskarr Totemic has the body of a 2-drop, but it will be upgraded into a 4-drop. There's also Thing from Below which gets upgraded into a 7-drop.
- Shaman always has Totems, so it's one of the easier classes to get the bonus, Turn 6, Hero power into this, you get a 2-drop and a 4/4, Not bad.
- And of course there lies the issue that Shaman has always had: RNG cards have Loser results.
Shaman ramp incoming x). More seriously, this is a card ! More useful than a Recombulator and act like a heal / counter-silence and technically a high chance to have a better minion.
Awesome when you have a severely damaged minion in play! The best mana costs for random minions is 1,3,4 and 8 (Source) which makes this kind of awkward for shaman as a class specifically, however I am seeing some really good value with Thing from Below.

4/5* 4 mana 4/5 is an excellent stat line and this cards ability is just the icing on top of the cake. You are right when you mention RNG, but more often then not this card won't be put in the ranks of Unstable portal, Crackle, and Implosion as far as bad RNG cards go. This is "good" RNG believe it or not (hoping you don't get a doomsayer of a totem), this card can also be pretty situational too so you shouldn't really think of it as giving a minion 1/1 because it can be used as a healing effect for a damaged minion when it transforms it. Plus there are many minions with above average stats in mana spots so you could potentially be giving minions +2/2 or +2/1.
Holy moly,another yeti with an upside. Sick minion in a battlecry deck.In Wild you could transform a healbot into a 6 mana minion...the value.
Verry good card. I guess control shaman would play this as a 4 drop.

You win this one, friend.
- Nah, this Exp is actually looking good for shaman!

I hope this card never see play at all. The most RNG class doesn't need even more RNG in my opinion.
It is strong and I guess will see play. Looks like every brawl will become a card eventually.

4 mana 4/5 with a very good effect? That's a card.
another good mid range shaman card

Your comment made me think of this meme. lol
i can see a decent control Shaman. I see this card more like a healer, use somebody to trade and then recombulate him.
Good body btw
This one is good. Crazy good.
"Infinite" doen't mean "big" - it can be small and have no end.
