Cool anti aggro

Still second fiddle to Jade decks.

 4-mana 3/5

"Battlecry: If you played an Elemental last turn, gain Divine Shield and Taunt."

I can dig it!!

Oh baby!  Sen'jin on crack (if you plan ahead)!

That Flame Geyser is looking a little bit better now, hmm?

Non-pingers get rekt.

i love anti-aggro tools

Since the OP seems to not be displaying correctly, here's the card.

The obvious comparisons for this card are Sen'jin Shieldmasta and Sludge Belcher.  I find this to be at a power level very similar to Sludge Belcher in that it's a 3/5 taunt that cannot be killed in one hit, BUT it is conditional.  Against ping classes, the divine shield will be weaker than the 1/2 Sludge, but against some other classes like Warrior (hint, hint) it may well be stronger despite costing 1 mana less.

The fact that this relies on Elemental synergy means that despite its high power level, it will not be a meta staple across all deck lists, and will most likely be seen in Elemental Mage and Elemental Shaman.  As a late-game topdeck, it provides a decent body for its cost even if you don't get the Battlecry (compare to Stone Sentinel which is a horrifically bad topdeck if you can't trigger the Battlecry).

I like the fact that we are getting more Tol'vir. Since Un'Goro is neighboring Uldum, their homeland.

Turn 3 Tar Ranger turn 4 this guy = gg aggro.

oh wait what about Jade :D

Thank you for brighten-up my day with this card against aggro. *Kreygasm

 this card is straight up incredible. Elemental decks are now pretty good.

Even for classes who might run just 2-3 elementals, it's still better than Sen'jin Shieldmasta that people are still using. And comparing its statlines with Sunwalker who is 6 mana minion, it's going to be sick in elemental based decks. Also can work in a handbuff deck with a little elemental synergy.

Love the artwork, also helps elemental shaman a bit against aggro. Hope to see at least 1 more anti-aggro card though

Elemental curvestone.

Nice detail he is not an elemental itself, enough broken mechanics like Draconik being a dragon.

 Jades won't be that big in the first 4 turns, so this card will be a big problem for them awell.

That is a fairly fearsome anti-aggro tool; the fact that it naturally follows Tar Creeper seems like you could almost auto-win the game against aggro decks if you pulled them in a row.  My only concern is that unlike the Tar Creeper this card is good in every matchup (slightly less beneficial in some) and as people have already commented I don't want to replace Dragon curve-based decks with Elemental curve-based decks.

 Absolutely value card. fair to say this card largely enables elemental decks. But once I realize that shaman will use it...

Blizzard: "I heard you wanted more Taunts"

How is jade suppose to break those taunts on turn 4? Maybe ramp but still not gonna happen since they're so slow

Insane card......Will be a auto include in all Elemental decks....It's a better Sunwalker...The problem with Sunwalker before was that turn 6 was usually to late but the fact you can get this out 2 turns earlier is a huge deal and for -2 mana you only lose -1 in stats which once again is better value than Sunwalker because 2 mana for +1 is overpriced. This is defiantly power creep.
