Think about it yesterday, what about legendary spell? Sooner or later we will see them. Already lots of fun idea on this theme, here it's my vision of shaman legendary. Ofc it has Overload, the signature of the class. And on this card we will have 10 (!!!) overload. Did I mention it also cost 10 mana? But let's look at the effect:
EDIT: To avoid Malygos Otk, I edit the card halving the dmg for the turn you activate the spell.
So basically you can vomit all your hand on the board. Could the "you have no mana to spend the next turn" balance this card enought? Let me know what do you think about this card!
Ah yes, forgot about malygos, otk too easy with that. What about change "cards" with "minions"?
But then the card is just bad because it's kinda just a worse Varian Wrynn which already doesn't see play. Especially since Shaman is one of the classes that struggles the most with card draw and to play this you already need to have a big hand.
Very, very, VERY bad design. Basically definiton of bad design. Card that is meant to be inconsistent OP power play in some kind of combo and nothing else. Potentially abusive, but if not abused it's a complete trash. This is not how you design cards.
It may not be the best designed card, but, a least he is trying. Cards like this can lead to other ideas that may make working cards that are awesome. The cards the Hearthpwn community comes up with are AMAZING!!! I SO HOPE Blizzard sees just a fraction of the cards in these forms and implements some of the ideas.

Fancards rarely make it into the game because we're all mental scumfucks that have our own agenda that doesn't match Blizzard's.
Or maybe I'm the only mental scumfuck, but no one's told me off yet.

LOL.....yeah, but if it sparks an idea, that's a good thing. Sometimes when I see a deck, I say "Oh, I see what they are trying to do here, but what if I did this instead". Ya know, that type of thought process.

Ok to keep this card in line i adjusted the effect, preventing (I think so) absurd Malygos Otk. I was thinking about give opponent Hero Immunity for the turn, but i think this way is better cause can be used also as finisher (but balanced) instead of just a big way to regain board control (which is the main purpose of the card anyway).
What do you think guys of this version? And thank you for all your replies!
The problem with Malygos Shaman isn't that he can't pull off an OTK. Shaman has enough cheap spells for that. The problem is that he lacks the rest of the Freeze Mage shell that would allow you to stall the game and keep yourself alive until you have assembled enough combo pieces. Shaman has no equivalent to Ice Block, Frost Nova and Blizzard. Shaman can't use Doomsayers because it's meant to be a board centric class, there is no point in building up totems if you blow them all up.
I'm not saying Shaman should have all the tools to play exactly like Freeze Mage. But most of what he has right now are tempo tools, where is the board control? There is only so far you can get with single-target spells like Earth Shock, Frost Shock and Hex.

Completely insane. Malygos Shaman has no restriction on mana.
Ah yes, forgot about malygos, otk too easy with that. What about change "cards" with "minions"?
Millhouse Manastorm gets EVEN MORE useless than he used to be.
its awesome but over powered wouldbe a cool combo card tho
Blizzard will not make this due to the one turn kill potential this card is capable of
Fuck it!
I like it! No. I love it!!!
Its about time shaman gets a completely broken shit. Even if it gets nerfed 9months latter Kappa
How about:
0 Mana, Legendary Spell, Transform into a Paladin.
Make the Card: The biggest thread on the site!
My mandibles which are capable of pressing down and tearing, my talons which are known to intercept and hold.
