If the 'elemental curvestone' deck can be a thing, this'll be a great card for it. Not as broken as Drakonid Operative, but 4/5 pseudo-draw for 5 is at least as good as Azure Drake. And of course, elemental tag allows the curvestone to keep going the turn after.
If there's a tier elemental deck, I have to imagine it'll be running 2 copies of this.
This card single-handedly makes Tol'vir Stoneshaper unplayable. Nobody will break the elemental chain as long as the rewards for chaining are more powerful than the rewards for breaking. The only question is what Elemental you fit on 4, since even Fireguard Destroyer in Wild does not fit due to overload. Maybe people will just drop a 3 drop and Flame Elemental or an Unbound Elemental.
As of now, Shaman has the best "Discover" for Elementals for this card imo. But we still have a good bit of cards to be shown off. So my opinion could change
I'm glad it's just slower than Netherspite Historian and that it's 4 mana worth of stats for 5. Still, strong card that will undoubtedly see some amount of play.
Elementals are the new dragons. Obviously not pushing any creative boarders here.
Elementals are the next forced archetype. We have dragons., C'thun then the 3 tri classes now this.
Are you guys upset that some elementals/dragons/mechs are good enough to see play in every elemental/dragon/mech deck? Would you be less upset if the new card were a 3/5, and you weren't "forced" to play it? Among all the things which shit-posters pretend to be upset about, this seems like one of the silliest. Tribal decks exist in every CCG. It isn't exactly a big deal. HS has a very small card pool, and releases very small expansions, so there is less variation in every single deck archetype - Reno decks use thirty different cards, and all but a handful are identical in every Standard deck. No need to dream up a conspiracy that the devs are "forcing" anything.

What makes you think that you can't discover any elemental from any class?
Edit: well I just read the discover tooltip on my own message. That sucks for mage then.

I said it wasn't creative, not that it was forced. Nice strawman.
This is really good, cuz it keeps the Elemental-chain running. If it wasn't an Elemental itself, it would be too weak I guess. But as it is, should be auto-include in Elemental decks (like netherspite historian in dragon priest).
Besides Water Elemental, there aren't any 4 drop Elementals that will (1) be in standard or (2) don't suck.
... yet. 81 cards to go!
Thanks for the reminder. With every card being revealed, the hype building for Un'Goro and the resentment over previous Aggro decks hegemony tend to obscure our global vision of the new upcoming set. Let's just hope they aren't keeping the dreadful pack filler for last ... Have an upvote

So in Shaman you have a great chance to discover Dust Devil, Unbound Elemental, Earth Elemental, Fire Elemental, Stone Sentinel, Al'Akir the Windlord and Kalimos, Primal Lord.
Curve Stone with Elemental is real.

this card is insane. even in mage, that, until now, don't have that good elementals, it curves with water elemental.
I'm glad it's just slower than Netherspite Historian and that it's 4 mana worth of stats for 5. Still, strong card that will undoubtedly see some amount of play.
Really decent cant wait to Try it out
interesting, but with the current elementals revealed, this is terrible for constructed.

Hello Ragnaros
I said it wasn't creative, not that it was forced. Nice strawman.
Greetings traveler.
Now we know why Ragnaros went to wild ... damn
not bad, could be infinite amount of value.

"What have you got there,
PinocchioMalygos?"This is basically the new Azure Drake for elementals tribe .
It will be very good unless you are in topdeck mode or you care about spell damage .
