Shaman once again with two less legendaries, yay! C’mon, why Blizzard? At least the epic card is op but idk what to say about this one, is a really bad toolbox, in that case I could just play the Hagatha minion all day long.
On a serious note, a fun card to include in some Control-ish build of Shaman. Historically however, these kinda cards have seen very little play. Curious to see how it interacts with cards like Flobbidinous Floop and Chameleos.

This card is fine I suppose. There's a lot of good legendary targets and a lot of bad ones. It doesn't really seem to fit the flavor of this set just looking at the art. I think this is a rejected card from the past brought forward because they didn't have another idea or their ideas would have pushed shaman too much. In fact I believe 100% this is a rejected Witchwood card. Would've fit nicely into that set being a reference to the Bandersnatch, a dark fantasy creature from Lewis Carrolls' works. This would have been the perhaps the companion to Shudderwock (Jabberwocky, another Lewis Carroll Creature), or Shudderwock replaced it.
Okay, definitely an underrated card then so far! Thank you for letting me know. Hir'eek is definitely batshit (hah) crazy with it, I didn't even realize since I'm pretty sure I'm hardwired to completely ignore that card under normal circumstances.
This card needs a control Shaman package to support. It's a dead card until you get the minion you want. And the other issue, is that you might get a random minion you want, but 1 turn too early to actually play it.
I get this stays at 5 cost 5/5, so thats really good when you high roll this. That's the issue though, its not worth the card slot for a potential high roll. It's also delayed, so if you top deck this card, its a bad top deck.
this card isn’t like Zeres or Chameleos because it’s always a 5 mana 5/5 but it can have text which is way better than what should be on a 5/5. I mean, the people who think this is bad, do you think this card is just going to cycle between The Beast, Lorewaker Cho and Millhouse Manastorm a million times? Most legendaries have really strong battle cries on shitty bodies and this card always has a decent body for 5 mana.

Big shaman baby......or not
5 mana Shifter Zerus
I guess every set needs a few terrible legendaries. And I'm gonna catch them all... ._.

For the memes!

Looks like shaman caught worst legendaries of the set.
Shaman got the shaft on legendary cards this expansion. Maybe their Galakrond will be good....
Dust it.
I wish this is rogue card. For Shaman this is useless card
Shaman has been getting good legendaries for last 5 sets, it's their time to get shit.
Its nothing like Shifter Zerus since it will be always a 5 cost 5/5.
Its very random, but it could be very good, like a 5 mana Tirion Fordring. So I dont think its total garbage.
If you actually look through the list of Legendaries in Standard, this isn't as bad as you might think at first, IF the costs stays at 5. If it doesn't, this is a garbage, trash, worthless waste of time. Good/decent Legendaries you can get would be Akali, the Rhino, Al'Akir the Windlord, Barista Lynchen, Catrina Muerte, Cenarius, Darius Crowley, Electra Stormsurge, Flik Skyshiv, Kalecgos, King Phaoris, Lord Godfrey, both Malygos', Emeriss, Sathrovarr, Octosari, Tirion Fordring, Veranus, Valdris Felgorge, Swampqueen Hagatha, both Yseras, Zilliax, Colossus of the Moon, Hir'eek, the Bat (wow), Siamat, Shu'ma and probably a couple I'm missing.
The cost is always 5, you can see that in the reveal video.
BTW its probably best on curve with Hir'eek, the Bat.

They really need to clean up the legendary pool. There's so many horrible leftovers from the classic set that should just get hall of famed.
I think this card is pretty good personally. At worst it's a vanilla 5/5 for 5.
Actually, I have a question but I think I already know the answer. Jaraxxus will have 15 health, if played this way, right?
Shaman couldn't get very good legendaries this expansion. It's already a very powerful class.
