I like Shaman, but in terms of game balance - it looks like it's getting OP cards (mainly the quest and the murlocs plague, but also the other cards seems very good)
Shaman is currently quiet good on ladder, looks like the new cards will make it OP, do you agree?
I'm not sure if the Quest in OP right now. Let's wait for the cards to reveal and decide then. The Plague may be too strong, but it is so stisfying to have an answer to Conjurers Boards, Magnetic things and Big Priest in Wild. :)

Stop making sense! How dare you have sound judgment and reason. All joking aside, kudos to you for being rational, it's a rare occurrence with this community unfortunately.
The new shaman spell is nuts in Wild. Imagine turning 7 enemy minions, 6 of yours into murlocs, then play Old Murk Eye: 2+13 = 15 Attack plus buffs if you are lucky, go face, gg ez. (I dont think there are any taunt murlocs, right?). Oh and give windfury for 2 mana.
As long as it stomps on Warrior, I don't care how OP it is.
Warrior looks to be a pretty reliable counter so far.
Well, the current Shudderwock Shaman obliterates the current Control Warrior.
It's far too soon to tell what the next meta will be like, but Restless Mummy certainly isn't enough to reverse that. So if all else fails, we can stick with the current build.

The class will be OP as fuck. The only weakness of the class is now OTK combo decks. Thats all
CW has a great weakness in deathrattle decks or token druid with great draw. Control Shaman now laugh at these kind of deck, while easily out fatigue everydeck with shudder+ elysina
Yea, let's nerf Shaman into oblivion even before the new expansion released, shall we? Also, let's nerf Conjurer Mage because it feels bad to lose to them. Finally, Control Warrior is extremely boring to play as and against, so Omega Devastator and Dr. Boom have to take huge hits as well.
Jesus, this community. It's almost as if the era of Shamanstone didn't end more than two and a half fucking years ago.

Well, Shamanstone era might return with these new cards. But hey, people still played the game and gave money to Blizzard during that time, so yeah, everything will be fine. No need to panic.
Not only will shaman be OP but it will also be the most fun class to play by far.
Omega Mind is bad... Others like zentimo and electra too situational just to name a few. Also i think the murloc package will not profit a lot from the quest/boardclears (except the plague). So Shudderwock Shaman will be on top and i think this is a good sign.
I can only speak for my self, but my control shaman destroys both control and bomb warrior, I´ve played more than 20 games against warrior and I´ve won more than 80% of the matches.

At this moment, it seems like they will be. They have some really strong tools at the moment. But we'll have to wait to see everything.
I can definetly see a lackey/murloc aggro shaman deck become a reality but the battlecry quest needs to be tested a lot

Always expect the unexpectable!
No Omega Mind won't be bad with Earthquake

54% in favor of warrior. "ObLitErAtEs"
Threads like these are the reason I'm trying to move away from this place. It seriously hurts to read.
