Could be good in a Baku, or even non-baku odd-only deck to potentially give access to even-cost cards that couldn't be run. Same for Hagatha, except obviously even-cost decks. Probably only useful if aggro takes hold in the new meta unfortunately, but even then only if aggro isn't particularly strong
Shamans aren't getting any help so far. They were already an RNG mess because of the focus on evolution. Now they are doing a random spell theme. Problem is shamans have far to many subpar spells on the basic and classic sets. Back into your hole shaman, Blizzard still doesn't forgive you for your aggro hayday.

Apparently Shaman isn't the Master of the Elements anymore - King of RNG sounds fitting. Here we go with another four months of a dead class (probably next to Garrosh due to Pirates).
Are we going to see Witch's Apprentice in the choices for Deathstalker Rexxar's build-a-beast DK hero power? It would be very interesting if it gave Shaman spells to Hunter.
More excited for this as a Hunter player. I can get a Bloodlust - oh how nice. And a great target for Crackling Razormaw since it already has taunt. Hunter wins or loses in the early game scrimmage.
Many other classes have a 1-mana that gives you some sort of random card. As far as it goes, this one is pretty neat. A 0/1 taunt is different, and that alone makes it kinda cool. A worthwhile twist on a familiar style of minion.
nice card, will see play, but as Runespear clearly showed us.. shaman spells sucks.. so this is way worse then Babbling book.
The Runespear taught us that a 3/3 weapon isn't worth 8 mana when its effect might fizzle.
Servant of Yogg-Saron already taught us that a single spell with random targets is usually bad, regardless of class.
I'll agree that Shaman spells aren't as good as Mage spells, but they aren't bad when you can control them, and I think a 1-mana 0/1 taunt is better than a plain old 1/1.
Here is why I think this is a FUN but a bad card. open you shaman collection look at the spells... also I am a long time control shaman player, I can tell you 0/1 is way worse than 1/1. PS shaman has the worse spell collection in the entire game, getting them for free ( DK ) would be really nice, but a random one isn't good enough
Much worse than Babbling Book. Worse pool of spells to pull from and no hopes of trading. Mage's could at least trade and ping to possibly clear up a minion.
Warlock : Kobold Librarian
Shaman : This
I wonder why one class is broken and the other one is a joke.... shaman spells are terrible. This is just a worse babbling book
This card is entirely dependent on shaman being playable. Which doesn't look promising right now.

Shaman getting a worst version of something from another class... seems to fit with the class fantasy..
should cost also 0 like the Frog token and then it would maybe be playable.
This is bad.
1/1>>>0/1 taunt, this has no attack value making it terrible, and you got better stuff to play with Flametongue Totem.
Seems like shaman is STILL paying for 2016

oh good, was wondering when we'd see more RNG effect cards. lol
Rumors are carried by haters, spread by fools, and accepted by idiots.
Shaman has only very situational spells. That will be the pinnacle of RNG. After all they have the evolve mechanic too.
Not going to see play. I'm calling it now. It's just not very good. There's not enough support for random Shaman spells.
I mean I guess the upside is you have a 1-drop taunt to protect your turn 2 Flametongue Totem, so there's that.
Then again, Shaman isn't playing Goldshire Footman or Wax Elemental, which are arguably better cards.

Free to try and find a game, dealing cards for sorrow, cards for pain.
Goes well with Murmuring Elemental
Please don't tell my girlfriend about my card collection...
