Why not? You play it with Lava Shock in an overload-heavy crusher-style deck (with Earth Elementals, Ancestral Knowledge and maybe even Ancestral Spirits) where you don't have any early-game minions and you use a ton of spells to get you to your late-game. I don't any reason why you shouldn't at least try it out.
Oooh you use Lava Shock? Now it's a different story...
Yet, you will be damaging your own minions, and if you don't have Lava Shock in your hand... Could become a game-losing play.
Of course you'll damage your own minions... This card will not fit in a normal midrange Shaman deck. 5 overload is a lot, but 4 to 5 damage on turn 3 or 4 is also a lot - it's a guaranteed boardwipe against an aggro deck, and it can win you the game if you time it properly. And with Healing Waves and all the other stall cards that we're getting you can actually build your deck in a way that allows you to catch up even after you've wasted a turn being overloaded from your Elemental Destruction.
We'll still have to see how the card performs when it comes out, but I really like it and I think it will be (at least for a while) playable in constructed.
Yeah, with the meta changing there's no way we can say how it's going to be.
Lava Shock is probably the only way to use Elemental Destruction without basically skipping your next turn.
WHEN IS IT GONNA BE HERE
If the Windows Clock is correct, August 24th
too far away ugh
ive seen a few people say that sorry for the stupid question but what do you mean windows clock? as in the clock on my PC?
Yes, if you change your clock to 24th August you can open the packs.
Well, if you try to, the game freezes, but you can move the pack around the screen.
oh ok thanks :)
The best part of the whole TGT thing was this GIF:

Whenever a TGT class legandary is released a Wisp dies.
And there was much rejoicing!
Yaaaay!
Guys, murloc paladin is gonna happend!
It already happened.
i use cobalt guardian in my machine king paliy deck but o do agree hemet is a loser we already have big game hunter as well as other forms of single/mass removal to handle most beasts
So, I've been invited to some Barcrafting and Firesides events. The invitation stated that there will be an opening of 50 TGT card packs.
Could this mean that it will be released before, or on, the 20th? I still haven't heard anything regarding a more exact release-date.
Now that even more of these late game minions have been revealed, my opinion of Eadric the Pure is slightly better, though still not great.
