Good nerf. I find it funny that people are saying this will bring back aggro shaman as if this card wasn't run in some aggro shaman decks and as if rockbiter and abusive didn't also get nerfed. This is still a 3 mana 3/4 or 4/3 which usually has an effect when it's played and has totem synergy. It is now a very strong card vs a very strong card with the chance to immediately win the game.
It's definitely not as good as a 3 mana 3/4 because an opponent can trade away 2 health from that without taking any damage. Maybe if you're trading against a 4/3 it's about as good, but who plays 4/3s? The totem synergy is still valuable but as a tempo play it's really weak now.
Now only playable as a midrange card and even then, you're probably only running the card to gain an extra mana cost decrease on your Thing From Below. You will never see this card in aggro shaman again. I have a love/ hate congruence on this nerf.

Oh no, a card got removed from aggro shaman!?! :'( lol seirously though how do you see this as something negative.

I didn't say it was negative, I didn't even have a bias on the archetype this nerf applies to. Are you just assuming my comment is favored to aggro shaman? Lol
Maybe too strong a nerf, but still might work good with those Thunder Bluff Valiants, Things from Below, Evolves, Masters of Evolution, Primal Fusions, and any other totem synergy cardsin the future. Plus, better chances to roll a spell damage totem for face burst/AoE clear, or a much needed taunt.
This is an okay decision. My only question is whether or not it takes into account hero power totems, and whether or not it will spawn dupes. If it spawns dupes like Witch Doctor, I think the card is still okay. If it doesn't I think it might be a little bit better, as it gives you another chance to control totem rng. I imagine it will be similar to Witch Doctor given wording.
ultimately, i think this was a necessary change. it wasn't as bad pre-standard because vitality totem was usually a bad result. this card now purely belongs in wicked witchdoctor decks. its no longer really viable in aggro and possibly not midrange. its still useful to discount Thing From Below, but i dont think its a 2x auto-include anymore.
This card is unplayable in anything other than totem decks. And by totem decks, I don't mean decks that run TfB and/or TBV. I mean decks that run wicked witchdoctor, primal fusion, and totemic might.
Complete bullshit decision, just like with rockbitter, blizzard once again showing that they care more to make stupid players happy than actually developing a good game.
Tuskarr was just fine, now is a no go in every deck except for witchdoctor+totemic might decks, wich are..... meh. The real problem was totem golem and will still be.
just like with changing sergeant, "let's make minions weaker instead of making good multi-target (or boardwipe) removal.
LOL They didn't nerf Tunnel Trogg and Totem Golem because they're TGT cards and will leave Standard soon. I guess Tuskarr Totemic is more broken then either of them
Still will be played at Midrange, because still put two bodies and lower Tfb cost.
Rockbitter will hurt most because it was the best removal at disposal.
I crafted TBV yesterday at my f2p account, because bought last wing of Karazhan and got Thalnos from last week brawl ... Rip my f2p account :( (have 3 legends: Thalnos, Malygos and Yogg)

Fuck cubelock
Thank you Jesus for this nerf. Amen.
Reasonable. Good Job.

did you bring some fish?.... owwwwwwwwwwwwww yay totem golem
R.I.P shaman :(
3.2.1 kill shot
They could change it to be 2 mana 2/2
Card is garbage now. Maybe in heavy totem decks it will see some play but i doubt it.
Should also make it a 3/3 so it could still see play in non-totem shaman decks.

One full year, and some days on top, to fix the most broken RNG in the game. I'm happy but can't say I'm impressed.
Life is OP.
Please Blizzard nerf Life.
Life banned from standard format confirmed. Indirect Death buff.
Thank you Blizzard.

This is the nerf people asked for this card this is very much deserved nerf.
This card will still be played BTW on totem heavy decks or every shaman deck using spirit claws.
