Good card, what i don't understand is why they couldn't make it a 4/5 like Leyline Manipulator who is arguably stronger.
The better comparison would be to Violet Teacher. Leyline Manipulator's ability is much more likely to do nothing with its battlecry where as Thunderhead's ability means it always has at least pseudo-taunt since if it lives you can curb stomp your opponent.
People already think this card is insanely good but in all likelyhood, its probably even better than any of us think it is. I'm calling this to be one of the most degenerate cards of the expansion.
1. Requires combo just like Violet Teacher
2. Too slow on turn 4, just a good taunt minion
3. Last but the strongest point: requires overload cards
Doesn't seem too degenerate to me. But let's see if your prediction is right
Don't forget people, now exists a 0 mana card with overload, you can get value and board control with this minion in same turn you play and don't is a legendary like Fandral, if you play the second any overload card turn into a mass removal vs aggro decks.
Interesting unique mechanic. Good to finish off minions not killed off by lightning strike, bolt, zap, forked, crushing. Could fit into the Snowfury/spellstone deck, possibly a totem shaman.
Not sure I understand why this card isn't getting serious hype. This is a strictly better violet teacher in Shaman and with the right overload cards, this could be a deck defining powerhouse.
Feel like there might be more to this whole spark token thing we haven’t seen yet. What’s the bet we get a couple more spark generator cards with a legendary spell that turns them into flames or something?

I like elementals and totems.
You've got to remember that it also keeps the minions on board too if you don't trade right away. Gives some bloodlust support, sort of.

One of the only cards that turns overload into a good thing. Can't be that bad.
