I don't think its that OP, you have to draw it out of your deck so you probably won't get it for a while. Does it look scary, yes but we have lots of answers for it. Silence, Big Game Hunter, The Black Knight, etc. People had the same reaction to Elise Starseeker but she was never OP and she doesn't even get played that much anymore
"You know, we really believe in class identity so we're going to keep Rogue the combo class. Shaman? Shaman is the value.. weapon.. taunt.. AOE... single target removal.. minion..burst class. It's only the SECOND best heal class so balance!!!"
Playable at best but if you think that people will make decks around and with this card instead of sticking to the already proven quite OP midrange shaman then you're delusional.
Amazed of how idiotic can Team 5 be. How the hell is this is a thing? At least make like Elise and put another condition you have to get to release the 10/10!
And of course, buffing both brokeback shaman and Firelands Portal (maybe the two most cancerous shits this meta has), while also making sure rogue dies out because jade rogue by far only has some average early game, miracle rogue gets a coin, and rogue in general gets a lot of crap and "cards that would be good if two expansion focused on making them work"...
I'm out. I'm sorry for this, because rogue was my favorite class, but having this situation, I'm going or Renolock and Jade Druid.
P.D.: Did some guy said Jade rogue was going to be fearsome? Hah, with cards like these, how exactly? Or maybe even better, in what universe?
Just an FYI to people saying it's slow.. it's really not Elise is slow because it's a 4 step process. Elise, Map, Monkey, play expensive legendaries and you freaking lose your deck.
This is on curve with taunt and then play a 5 mana card that will often auto win.. AND KEEP YOUR HAND AND DECK AND PLAY OTHER THINGS SAME TURN.
Elise is like a fifth of the power level of this card. I don't think there is a deck in the game that wouldn't play this card. Hell even Freeze Mage would think about it (quasi serious )
Love it, had my golden shaman from playing control shaman way before shaman became cancer. Glad to see Control Shaman might be back on the menu. Now, where's HSCrusher to come up with a fantastic new deck <3
Seriously though, I'd love to see any iteration that guy has. My crafted Earth Elemental's are getting dusty.

Yup, completely agree.
5 mana 5/5 Taunt is fine on curve and then you get a 5 mana 10/10 taunt in your deck when it dies. If I'm playing as Druid and I top deck an Ancient of War I'm like YES! top decking a 5 mana 10/10 taunt will be amazing.
The funny thing to control shaman players is this card makes Mid Shaman even more favored in the match up. They're going to sit their hex on it while you waste hex on more pressing threats. Then they out value you with it
Why would you not put this in mid Shaman? It's not like you lose many races so why not add an on curve taunt to really fuck over control decks.
Well, it doesn't take a genius to realize White Eyes is a very good card. I'm just curious if this can actually fits into current mid-range shaman or if this will bring rise to a new control shaman we haven't seen.
My only issue with this legendary is that, in spite of it being quite good, it's also quite generic. *Wow, a lot of stats and taunt!? How innovative! -end sarcasm* I mean sure, you can argue that the deathrattle that shuffles a non-collectible card into the deck is unique, but let's be honest, that's the real legendary and even then it's just a lot of stats with taunt. I mean sure, it's cheap but that's it. *shrug* oh well, grats shaman on a good legendary I guess, even if it just is a bit basic.

Other card don't see play right now because the power level of midface is over 9000.
But will see a lot of play after rotation.
Every rogue player is just sitting in a corner crying right now.
Like me.
What is this I don't even....
Faceless behemoth is very sad today.

Looks really good for Control Shaman.

I was hoping for a good deathrattle card for Shaman. N'Zoth/Barnes Shaman incoming.
