5 mana 5/5 with an effect. Will see some Arena play at least. And a brann/Elekk/Juggernaut/coldlight warrior deck will definitely be fun memes in wild.
I think the iron juggernaut comparison is pretty fair. -1 mana, -1attack, -mech tag (why would he keep that, it's not that we have a mech expansion, right?), -5 damage, -legendary)
So they take a card that (correct me, if I am wrong) that does not seem that good whatsoevet and make it basically strictly worse? Just because the elekk exists? Or mech cthun?
Not looking forward to this+Shudderwock, but I do like this card when looked at on it's own. Seems fun in fatigue/mill and useable in aggro/burn. It's also got funky neutral synergy with Augmented Elekk which is neat
It is not. The actual card itself guarantees your opponent will at least recieve 5 damage (plus ur life drinkers) even if you can only summon one Shudderwock (this can happen if both zola and grumble's battlecries trigger beffore saronite chain gang) . Make the equation. Two Life Drinker and both of this cards will guarantee 16 damage. More than half of ur opponent's life. It also counters Rogue's new legendary spell in a very good way.
Wanted to comment here with a link to a handy resource thread I've been compiling that lists all cards that synergize with Augmented Elekk. Come take a look! Very pleased to add this to the list, as I'm sure you can imagine.
If you play Shudder you don't need this future damage to win and the card don't help you get your combo faster...
I don't see it being played in a Shudderwock archetype deck; however, that doesn't mean it can't be played with Shudderwock.
The Boomsday shaman cards have been pretty elemental and spell heavy, and there is a possibility of working 2x Seaforium Bomber and a Shudderwock as 3 slots in such a deck for a backup win condition (potentially modified by Elekks, Zola, Bankers, etc. into the primary win condition).
If it is a control/OTK heavy meta, an anti-draw style might be okay.
Everyone who is comparing this to Iron Juggernaut is crazy because Jugg was in warrior class alone. Juggernaut would have been a nightmare as a rogue card. There's so many ways rogue can ruin your day with this card by bouncing it over and over.
This card is terrible in Shudderwock decks.

I mean if you are just looking to play the same old same old shudderwok. This is just for fun in a shudderwok deck. I'd give it a go anyway.
Oh god, I forgot that stupid card >.<
Dead Man's Hand ? More like Dead Man's Deck!
neutral epic vs class legendary

Would you play the strider if it only gave you one 4/4? Most of the time a single 4/4 is better than 5 face damage too.
Shudderwock...

shaman--->murmuring elemental---> new elephant ---> this
shudderwock nonsense
memes

Come visit my Card Emporium. Strange things, you will find inside...
Come take the test, if you're daring. Feel free to show me your results in a message.

Yes. That would equal 4 mines. I am already dreaming up memes.
in wild with fatigue shaman i think this card its really cool xD

I'm gonna bounce this like a boss. Ok stats too!
5/5 for 5 is already decent. Throw in potential 5 damage to the face and it'll find a place in aggressive midrange lists quite surely.
Remember my words -- you'll be sick of this card in two weeks.
