This can be used in a thunderhead deck/Zentimo deck. Play it out on a given turn and then play thunderhead plus 2x Zap drawing 2x lightning bolt drawing rockbiter/windfury. You've cleared the board and started to set up for a Zentimo combo kill.
Also it could be used to draw six 1 cost spells (lightning bolt, totemic slam, and Frost Shock) that can be used in maly shaman with 6 zero cost spells (2 zap, 2 Ancestral Healing, 2 Totemic might. Then play a couple turns of Eureka + spells and win
OK , so we know discount spell work in the mana you pay for em not it true cost ( trump vidio shows 0 mana Lava Burst draws a 1 mana spell ) but if you don't have a spell that cost 1 more or only have spells that are equle or lower to it cost, what do you get ?????
Currently this card doesn't have quite enough support but give shaman a few more spells to fill in the weaker slots on the curve and it will completely break the game. In wild this card is already insane because, if you just have this and Lightning Bolt, you can go bolt into Crackle, Lava Burst, and Jade Lightning for roughly 16.
In Wild this is ridiculous because you can Lightning Bolt into Crackle into Lava Burst into Jade Lightning for 15-18 damage (over 2 turns since it has Stealth). Plus you have Tunnel Trogg. so doing the first 12-15 damage isn't very hard.
In constructed this can do the same thing (substituting Crackle for Rockbiter Weapon which can also do 6 if you have Doomhammer equipped). The only problem is that it's not certain that the rest of the Standard set has the support for a hyperaggressive burn Shaman deck. Likkim is certainly a huge help in that direction.
Don't forget that this works with the coin. Play this - coin draw 1 mana spell, play that spell and draw 2 mana spell. That 2 mana spell is Earthen Might or Cryostasis and you have an almost guaranteed target for it next turn.
This on 3, Hex whatever opp plays on 4, have a guaranteed volcano on 5th... isn't bad at all, too
This card is insanely good, better card review until now in this expansion.
4 manas, play this card, the 0 mana spell kill a 2 health minion, draw 1 mana spell kill a 3 heath minion, draw 2 cost spell, next turn play the 2 cost spell and draw a 3 cost spell, your opponent must have a removal to kill this minion because you clear the board with so many removals in a row.
no offense trump but this is not better than UI in any universe, even if the shaman deck that plays it is somehow the most insane tier 0 deck imaginable. UI has already carried multiple such decks since its release from jade druid to malygos.

Excited to see what Krag'wa will do since the Loa and Spirits have synergies. Hopefully it isn't the same kind of synergy in the rogue class with "oh hey this minion has battlecry... SYNERGY"
Sick card with lots of potentials. Krag'wa must have spell synergy. I can imagine him being a big finisher that's powered up by spell use a la C'Thun or a persistent threat who benefits from spells cast while he's on the board. The latter due to this statement about Zentimo and Krag'wa: "He’s content to let his giant frog loa, Krag’wa, do the fighting while he helps Shamans master channeling elemental magic."
I don't understand ppl saying it's pricey. Rouge would LOVE auctionier to only cost 3 Mana and have stealth

You don't want to run this card since you wont be drawing 2 cost spell.... You run Keleseth instead...

How can it not be good? Mana tide totem has been used in nearly every meta for 3 years.
This has stealth, almost guaranteed to survive a turn, and can draw multiple cards each turn. It is nearly strictly better than mana tide.
Anger is the punishment we give ourselves for someone else's mistake.

Unstable evolution = draw all spells...
or not, looks like only 2 mana spells them
Draw all 2 cost spells
I expect Kragwa the Huge give huge boost of spells, or spell synergy. They said all spirits are in synergy with their Loa. And this seems ok for now.

oh right, for some reason in my mind the text was, draw a spell and make it cost one more

This will potentially be able to control your exact draw. The spell isn't random if only certain values are in the deck.
Free to try and find a game, dealing cards for sorrow, cards for pain.

10/10 card.

Lightning bolt-->Crackle-->Lava Burst-->Tidal Surge is 15-18 damage in 1 turn if this survives, and it has stealth. Wow strong.
Play the spirit and with Unstable Evolution your get Rockbiter Weapon and Windfury and Earthen Might
just wait till you have 2 minions/tokens on board and Zentimo in hand to unleash the combo
the heck? this is not a battlecry, it's a passive ability and it has stealth, you could easily get two turns of this, it doesn't work only for 1 turn

No taunt loa yet. Interesting...
