I had very different ideas at first for this week but then I though about shaman and how overload would be a great "weapon" agaisn't other player.

This card is quite simple, kill minion, enemy get overload next turn.

But the problem is to make it balanced in my opinion. At the base overload is there to "punish" shaman to play better card/ high damage for current mana value and pay for that the turn after.

So I think that to make a card actually overload your opponent instead of you it should be worst, it shouldn't be too good that it would be an auto-include. (ex: 2 mana 3 dmg would be like a Frostbolt/ Darkbomb range and thus the shaman player would play it if it also benefits him by punishing the enemy) That's why I made it a 2 mana 2 damage.

But then, 2 damage can be easily dealt on turn 2 to a minion, and there's a lot that would actually die easily so even then I thought that I would be too strong for the downside of the other player.

That's why I added the "random enemy minion" People can play around it by not playing a 2 or 1 HP minions or playing a 3 HP one instead, or flooding the board with multiple minions.

The 1 mana overload because 2 is too high, at least on turn 3, you can still play a 2 drop instead of a 1 drop.

And if it doesn't kill a minion, welp that's a 2 mana 2 damage card, not good but not the worst either. It's all in or nothing.

So yeah that's pretty much how I created this card, also I choose Flame shock for the name (the image is also that ability from the TCG) because from what I red in the wiki it deals damage over time, and I thought that overload to the enemy hero is a good representation of that.
