The issue with Overload Shaman is that you actually want to play the cards in order to reduce the cost of Snowfury Giant. I'm trying to make it work since that specific giant has been released, but I keep running into the same old problems: unreliable card draw, poor early game and constant loss of tempo. Against Control you'll be eventually outvalued (e.g. Priest will just play Shadowreaper Anduin or Dragonfire Potion after your big swing turn) and vs. faster decks you're better off playing Midrange Jade/Elemental Shaman. Apparently the days of Tunnel Trogg/Totem Golem are still haunting us. Also, this card competes with Earth Elemental or Hallazeal the Ascended. Not sure about it, but let's see.

E I G H T f*cking mana. Unless Shaman doesn't get completely broken spells saying "Discard your opponents hand" or "Destroy your opponents board" which require this weapon to be played, it will be just the equivalent of 400 dust.

Pretty good card, even when you only get to upgrade it once and Cabalist's Tome will rotate in a few months so I think it's a decent replacement.

 It's a win more card... if you control the board you'll be fine. If your opponent controls well probably a loss.

People are getting way too excited about this card.

You need a board for this to do anything and a lot of times getting "rid" of your own board is not a good thing.
Not to mention that a lot of those fancy combos only works in a class with good and reliable card draw, and so far that's not shaman.

It will eventually receive the same treatment as Soulfire or Hunter's Mark. That way it's still playable but doesn't allow for borderline broken combos anymore (no, please don't come up with The Coin + Prince Keleseth + double Shadowstep).

Just logged in for the first time in five weeks only to notice the recent event. Opened my two WotOG packs (mind you, I've only pulled quite useless legendaries from them until now) to unpack the following: worth it!

The usual Midrange Hunter requires about 3.5 - 4 k dust and sometimes even less, whereas decks like Tempo Rogue or Control Priest cost three times as much.

The classes strategy is simple due to the hero power (which also makes for quick matches) and very effective against slow decks. 

In short: cheap to build, easy to learn and especially good at the lower ranks.

rogue is the jack of all trades. Hearthstone shows that by letting them take other peoples tricks, and giving them very unique cards that do stuff no other class does, they have more resources through draws that copy and they have a lot of cheap powerful effects. But the class is limited by it's need to use all of it's resources faster than other classes. It has more options, but it has to use more to achieve any one thing. The new rogue deck works off of rogues ability to return things to hand and reduce cost, which was always good with chargers and on play effects, but now there is an aggressive card that compounds off of everything rogue can do, Suddenly rogue can play aggro because it has a way to use resources to make all other resources more valuable. Basically they printed a neutral card that does something they did not want rogue to do. Because rogue was supposed to need to use up resources faster to do as much, but keleseth uses up 3 cards to make every other card 2 times as powerful. Most rogue things use 2 or three cards to do one cards worth but add back resources to your hand to continue to do such things. Basically rogue is consistently what it is, but neutral cards screwed that up.

Before the release of Prince Keleseth many players considered Shaku, the Collector an overpriced Undercity Huckster. While still being true, Tempo Rogue nowadays abandons the usual 2 mana cards such as Eviscerate or Huckster in favor of Dr. 2. In case you don't have Shaku or the dust to craft I'd replace it with a copy of Mimic Pod for additional fuel.

Im just asking about patches bcs the deck seems really fun and i could dust some stuff for one legendary, but for two i really cant im f2p and id have to dust too much of my collection, especially since patches rotates in April. Feelsbad

33 games and Keleseth once in starting hand. When I watch some pro streaming this deck they get it like at least 50% of the time. I think blizzard is promoting this game by adjusting RNG on popular streamers.

Probably...

Evolve Shaman (strong vs. almost any archetype), Jade Druid (wasn't hit as hard as the Aggro Token pendant), Highlander Priest (inconsistent, but with a good start it's literally impossible to beat), Midrange Hunter (cheap and fast as usual and its biggest enemies took a hit) or Midrange Paladin (the Warleader nerf changed little to nothing).

Also, some people are surprisingly successful using a mix of Elemental/Tempo Rogue, but it's quite expensive for an aggressive deck and has a very bad matchup vs. Evolve Shaman.

Pointless nerf. Pirate Warrior can still curve out with N'Zoth's First Mate => Bloodsail Raider => Bloodsail Cultist or Upgrade! + Dread Corsair. Meanwhile any sort of slow Warrior FeelsBadMan - but I guess Jade Druid approves of this.

Terrible decision. If they actually wanted to nerf Murloc Paladin then Vilefin Inquisitor would've been the way to go. Other than that, there is not a single deck using Murlocs which justified such a balance tweak. Now, when your board gets wiped you might as well concede.
