People are getting way too excited about this card.
You need a board for this to do anything and a lot of times getting "rid" of your own board is not a good thing. Not to mention that a lot of those fancy combos only works in a class with good and reliable card draw, and so far that's not shaman.
So much this. As long as Shaman doesn't get any sort of reliable card draw (please don't come up with Mana Tide Totem or, god forbid, Far Sight) plus viable 1-2 drops to make up for the loss of the strong early game presence back in the TGT/MSoG era, any kind of slow Shaman deck is literally unplayable. This is because Midrange is very much reliant on a good curve while being unable to put up a substantial amount of pressure due to the Elementals and Control variants are simply getting outvalued in the late game. My fear is that Shaman - my favourite class next to Druid - will be dead after Evolve (bah) has gone to Wild.
Good synergy with Thing from Below, elementals, and jade. Not sure this is good enough to nudge crusher or midrange into a more competitive tier, but as usual it seems now with Shaman, this adds to the "kitchen sink" feel of the class and certainly makes you think there might be a nice mixture of strategies available that can be successful. Interesting card for sure.
It's very interesting to see Blizzard moving Elementals and Dragons back into play after KofT. I'm willing to bet we're going to see a few more Shaman elementals before we're done with the card reveals.
As for this card, it's potentially extremely powerful depending on what and how many minions you have on the board. Imagine if you have the high end Shaman elementals on the board, you could trade them, play Grumble, and then unleash their battlecries again. Imagine the combo where you hit your opponent in the face with your elementals, recall them with Grumble, and then with 2 Blazecallers, 1 Fire Elemental, and finishing off with Kalimos' 6 hit to the face. That's a nice chunk of damage that could win you the game.
Another one is if you've evolved all your minions to 6+, and some of them have some pretty sweet battlecries. You recall them and then put 4 of them back on the board.
I'm instant-crafting this card. Such a nice surprise after the disappointing Shaman weapon, and the legendary minion from the last expansion (that I kept getting for some reason... )
Guys. This card is shit. It only seems good in malygos version. U never play naked doppleganster in evolve version. U never wanna remove ur board to ur hand. So it's surely unplayable for 7 mana in tempo versions. This is like 10 mana value trade efficiently ur battlecry minions replay 3 of them. If u are allready ahead, u would never do this. This card is at least too situational to be good. Upvote if agree,
I'm kind of reminded of how everyone drooled over The Mistcaller when it was first shown. How'd that work out for y'all?
The Mistcaller stats suck on it's own. Even if you get nothing from Grumble, Worldshaker's ability, he's still above curve. This card is auto-include in almost every Shaman deck. No comparison.
I'm not sure about this one. You first need a board to make this worth it. The problem Shaman has had over the last couple of expansions is they couldn't get on the board in the first place with anything except Tokens. These are completely useless to get back into your hand.
The obvious deck for this to work with is Jade/Elemental but if that can't stick to the board this is just a 6 mana 7/7. Is that good enough? Unlikely. So perhaps this will see play after Patches rotates and aggression dies out a little. Even then Keleseth will be around.

Well, I wouldn’t call it above curve. The stats are just average. Boulderfist Ogre
golden version = golden minions?
Let me bounce my Blazecaller and my Fire Elemental , save them from swipe and win the game. Hugs...
I think not because you dont create or generate a copy of them. Is the same card that you played.
This card could be really really really good. I'm hyped to see how it does.
6 mana shaman legendary not a 4/4 does not compute monkaS

It has an interesting application for evolve shaman:
After evolving you get several minions with a good battlecry but horrible stats- return them to hand and play them again for 1 each!

So much combo potential smh you can go infinite for 10 with the new Zola Gorgon.
I think it can not only push ele shaman, it slots right into evolve shaman as it is. This card should see A LOT of play.
Mmm
I don't think this will push ele shaman to meta. Ele shaman's real problems are card draw and clunky win condition. This card solves nothing of it

Mmm
This card is for some evolve shenanigans.
You play this with some 6, 7, 8 mana drops - even 5 drops.
Bounce them back, play them again (now costing only 1 mana), and play evolve.
Especially good with a jade deck with Jade Chieftain
