On the one hand I'm super impressed by Hagatha's design, as it matches the expectations of a legendary card, and on the other I'm pissed that Rafaam is not as unique as she is. I mean, just look at her. She's powerful, fun to play, she enables synergies with Shudderwock. She depicts the goal when designing a card. Oh, and she rhymes as well. So it's no surprise I will give her 10/10. I would love to get her from a pack. If I don't, I will craft her.
Wow, I wasn't expecting a card like this but I really like it, it's a lot of value in one card. I still have some doubts about this card before making it a day 1 craft for me, like if this card will have a mana cap on the spells to avoid picking really heavy spells (like with rexxar that you can't pick a beast that is more than 5 mana) or if the first spell will be only targetable ones and even if the spells that are casted by the horror will be buffed by spell damage. Nevertheless I think that this one will be one of the most fun cards of the expansion and I would really like to get it.
Honestly - you could probably craft a Shaman deck that plays Hagatha (Hero), Hagatha Swampqueen, Shudderwock, and few to no other battle cries of any real importance and still have enough value to get you where you need to go.
Like, I could see this being a 3 card value package in an otherwise aggressive or midrange-y deck.
There's a lot of hype around this card, personally I don't think it's that good being such a tempo loss in many situations. I'll rate it "playable" though.

Hear hear! I think this is awesome design and is simply a fun and unique card to play with. On top of that, very skilled players will enjoy the card even more. I have said in the past that the 'discover' mechanism in Hearthstone is the best RNG that it has to offer. It provides choice, but keeps things streamlined. This card is not only fun, but powerful in the right hands.
I already have a Shaman Shudderwock control deck, this will simply slot right in and give me reach or board removal tools.
Also, Rafaam seems rather boring compared to this card.
This reminds me of Kazakus, like, a lot. Seems insane to me. But you'll hear no complaints from me when the insane cards this expansion are value cards (and not of the infinite kind).
I have mixed emotions atm.

Pretty cool and it will be interesting to try and play around.

It's a HUGE card. Shaman gets some love on this expansion?

Well this will be so much fun watching Wowhobbs and Kibbler highlight videos that include this card.
=D13=
I wonder if the spells casted by the Elemental will be affected by Zentimo or Electra Stormsurge since the Battlecry says "cast".
Very flexible card. Rain of Toads is probably one of the better pulls.
Seems to be funny with Zentimo :D

dafaq this is better than hagatha hero
Fun > Meta
I've heard this loosely compared to Kazakus, and it's not a terrible comparison.
I think this is my favorite so far. Super fun card.
I assume you can't get the same spell twice?

In the video at least, it looked like it gave 1 targeted spell, and 1 spell that does not target.

So many questions: Electra, Zentimo and Kragwa interaction? Spell power? Overload?
Easy answers: The horror is a battle cry minion. So
1) No
2) No
3) No
4) Yes, the video showed this. Just like Yogg, Tess, etc.
You get overloaded. Lava Burst in the video
