I think the underhypers are forgetting just how strong would be the trade potential.

Tokens and sticky minions are what a Shaman would need for this deck imo. You trade, evolve, repeat. His hero power is the most conditional of the 3 revealed so far.

Kind of ironic that a seer (somebody who sees the future), has an effect which summons completely random minions which could possibly work against your favour, haha.

Now I see why they added Ticking Abomination to the game.

I think this is one of the more underwhelming hero cards.  If you actually play evolve and devolve you'll understand why devolve is so much better than evolve.  "Trade and heal" is not very realistic in constructed as can be seen but the lack of play master of evolution sees (4 mana 4/5 evolve a minion).  The only time the hero power will be good is if it's used on special battle cry minions such as doplegangster and big-time rackateer.

Keep in mind your esentially paying 5 mana to play evolve twice the first time then you have to pay 2 mana to evolve an individual minion after that and you lose the ability to totem.

Maybe you can build a good deck around this card if there's better battle cry special minions that come out but this isn't any good if you just jamed it into any of the current meta shamans.

This seems pretty weak to me. Five mana do nothing on its own (which means it's terrible when you're behind) is bad for constructed aspirations and unlike Evolve this card is hard to combine with Doppelgangster for instant army.

A lot of people saying the initial ability is good, but it really isn't that much better than evolve is it? Evolving twice isn't actually twice as good as evolve to me. The reason evolve is so good is because for 1 mana you can take something like doppel gangster (3 2 mana cards in terms of stats if were generous), and change them into three 6 mana stats. So you're getting theoretically 12 extra mana in stats for 1 mana. Doing that twice only gives you three more mana in stats than before when you did it once. Basically I see this battlecry with the armor as being worth about 2 mana. Which means your paying 3 mana to get this hero power. I don't think current token shammans want that kind of card.

 Exactly. I was excited to see the new Hero card reveals because the others have been so cool thematically and have broken new ground in terms of potential deck-types, but this is uninspired and probably just a poor card to begin with. 

Edit: At the time of posting this we've only seen DK heros for Mage, Hunter and Shaman.

I agree that the Battlecry is not any better than Evolve but the Hero Power seems good. You don't have to make any significant changes to your current Evolve Shaman deck to include this card. It only improves the current deck. But I won't be playing this deck cause I am not a fan of inconsistent RNG Fiesta decks.

Because they are not equally powerful? What kind of question is that?

Seriously people this card is nuts yes it is not flexible as much as Evolve but even if you evolve only 2 card you get value from this 

effect : seems boring but pretty strong

power : garbage .This is tyoe of win more card,if you have good board with battlecry effect  you already win,no need to mess around but if you fall behind hero power cant help you comeback,at least taunt totem can save you

Pff just use this with a normal elemental shaman and see how powerful it is seriously people think evolve shaman or token shaman all the time but this card can be used in many kind of deck hero power is fkn is like restore all health of your minion + increase stats most of the time seriously minions with bad stats are less than minions with good stats also you can choose whatever you want to evolve so you can always consider your other options while using this unlike Evolve

Originally when we didn't have enough token generation in shaman people overvalued Evolve a lot.  Everyone called it to be a meta-defining card  but it ended up being almost-playable at best. People will test out this card for sure and it might find home in the Token Shaman as a finisher.

 Is miles away from nuts. Evolve sees play because it's 1 mana. No one ever needs evolving for 5 mana. Will see play in the first two weeks and then it'll be dropped.

Because people are bad at predicting cards' powerlevel.

I would probably be aiming for turn 7, after the Doppelgangster + Evolve turn. Boost your survivors to 8s, and then use your hero power to get rid of Anomalus.

Why win when you can win more?

This card is bad.

Sometimes I'm shocked at how wrong the community predictions are. The card does nothing when it comes out on an empty board which means that you need to develop your board a bit before playing it and the hero power is also completely useless on an empty board. Looks good on paper but in practice it is bad. I would strongly advise against crafting it.

So, if you have any 10 mana Minions, does it evolve them into Clockwork/Mountain Giants?

Pretty boring, we already have evolve, this is not at all interesting compared to vampiric elementals and zombeasts.
