hero power: Discover a Shaman spell

Quote from CVision1 >>

Hey people,

So, I'm not really that well read on the whole lore and stuff, but I do think there was a hint in that video towards the end. So, when they get to that boiling thingy, Dave says ''Ooh, look! Somebody's cooking something!''. This leads me to think the Hero Card might have something to do with custom spells? It's a long shot, but, the way she laughed and the way they hyped it is really fun in my eyes, so I just wanted to speculate a bit.

Also, I'm at work.so..yeah.

Haha.

Guys I think you are underestimating the ability a bit

they said it's OP

I am thinking, something something win condition

Knowing blizz they probably overbuff shaman as it has been in rough state for a while which means everyone jumps to the bandwagon. Hipsters gonna get mad ^^ Though also knowing blizz they fail to give shaman an identity which might mean that the class still is unplayable. Shamans problem hasnt been in a while getting endgame value. Its about getting there and drawing your value cards that shaman has problems with.. Without good early drops I doubt this card turns the tides even how OP it could be..

Cant wait until hearthpwn gets disappointed like they got with "OP" mistcaller. Myself gonna craft it golden anyways, like all shaman legs, just hope dearly its not murloc related.

Battlecry: summon all basic totems.

Hero power : Discover a totem, summon it.

I think myself her hero power will be something like:

2: devolve a minion by 1 cost , if it's a enemy minion 2

with a battlecry of devolving all enemy minions by 3

So wont have much of an effect on weenie hordes, and also not on massive cost minions but can really hurt taunts/rattle/end of turn/divine shield minions and buffed minions as well.

Honestly, the way Brode and co were reacting to her tells me that it's not just "hex a dude" every turn, nor do I think it's Devolve focused.

If I had to guess.....

On Cast: Kazakus Potion.

HP: Whenever you cast a spell, cast Lightning Bolt at a random enemy.

Make Shaman great again... I don't need anything else.

My guess is that it will give the Heropower Mushroom, Mushroom (from the Dungeon Run Mushhuckster Max) - which crafts a random 1 mana Kazakus potion.

I also think it will have  an effect like Battlecry:  Hex 3 random minions. (since a witch can transform people into frogs- which also is a Shaman attribute).

So we are getting hero cards again?

 Just one. The only Hero Card is going to be for Shaman, this set.

 

However I still have hope, that new shaman legendary will make this class to be another viable control archetype :)

Looking at shaman themes: There is already an evolve hero, so that's unlikely. Elementals doesn't really seem to fit the theme, same for overload. Maybe they'll have another attempt at freeze shaman? There weren't any hints at that in the video though. Totem synergy would also be an option, Wicked Witchdoctor worked with totems, after all.

Shaman doesn't have good card draw. Hunter has the same problem and they addressed that not by making a draw card but by giving the DK a card creation option. So I think creating custom cards as a hero power makes sense. Spells would be likely for a witch, but another option would be special totems. Or maybe animated trees as seen in the teaser.

Hex also fits thematically, but Hex as a hero power would not be fun, so if they went that route it's more likely that the battlecry hexes the entire board, similar to the polymorph-all option in Kazakus potions.

omg guys they LEAKED IT!

PS: it's so OP it's unbelievable... in fact it's not really a leak... I made this card lol.

From what we've seen from the video, there is a cauldron and a bunch of bottles hanging on the tree,  so I would guess she creates spells in bottles, or potions.

She may also turn minions into Worgens.  

So, do we know if is this going to be the equivalent to a DK, or a Jaraxxus?

Not that it hugely matters really, but it may affect maximum health, and make Dirty Rat OP.
