this won't be midrange, this is likely full on control shaman, likely with curve plays and taunts, along with fire fly and that new dude, Glacial Shard, we have single mana drops to promise that we get these effects off when we need them to happen.

I feel bad saying " why is this not a shaman card" because the game needs effects like this to keep aggro in check, and have utility for other games. this dude is awesome.

well the weakness of freezing potion is that it leaves you nothing after you play it. this leaves a body. and that's big.

nah your just wrong

"This card is useless!"~Ben Brode Jr.

But seriously guys... You all overestimate how good shaman is going to be once Ungoro comes out. EVERY GOOD CARD IN SHAMAN IS ROTATING. I play a lot of shaman myself, to the point where I've become golden, so I'm pretty sure I know what I'm talking about. The basic cards in every shaman deck: Tunnel Trogg and Totem Golem, are rotating out. This means that shaman has ZERO GOOD EARLY GAME. As if the death of any of shaman's potential for an aggressive or midrange deck wasn't enough, shaman can't play control either due to the rotation of Elemental Destruction, shaman's one good late-game board clear. While you may argue that shaman still has the overpowered mess of a mechanic that is Jade Golems, druid is still has better Jade cards than shaman and will easily be the preferred class. And as if all this wasn't enough, shaman is focusing on TWO mechanics in Ungoro: murlocs and elementals, and so the support for both archetypes will be extremely limited if not unplayable.

So yeah, the legendary is a good healer/board clearer. But what does it matter when ANY other deck can easily crush shaman post-rotation?

I really like the idea of more anti-aggro cards. Especially ones that are actually pretty good against the other deck archetypes. However, I'm not a fan of the elemental mechanic in general, even though I think it's better done than previous comparable mechanics. What I mean by this is, when you can get the effect to trigger, the effect is really good. However, those circumstances when you can't get the effect to trigger, then the card is just mediocre at best. At least with Elementals you have much more direct control over whether it will trigger, as opposed to the utterly fallible and terrible Joust mechanic.

It's just, any time you get one of these cards and you just weren't able to play an elemental the previous turn, then they're almost a dead draw. You have to play an elemental and even then it doesn't immediately activate as you have to wait until your next turn to gain the value. This is probably just a personal preference though, overall I think elementals will work out well enough.

well, if you play it in the proper deck, it's a better senjin. if not. it's worse than sen, and can sometimes be that bad anyway. that's a fair balance I"d say.

so, what's the curve out play up to him if we want to make an "elemental chain?"

we got firefly turn one, which also gives us the cover card token if we missed a turn. telegraphing when played, but allows for the rest of the turn's mana to do something.

not sure on turn 2.

tar elemental on 3 if this is a control deck. still haven't hit any "last turn" requirement cards though.

4 is open?

5 is open?

6 is easily fire elemental,

7 can be stone sen,

8 is kalimos.

could even go 9 and say ozark.

he might die, that's why he has an IMMEDIATE AND HUGE BATTLECRY. this is high mana cards done right

if only that battlecry ability added +5 health to the player, then he'd basically be an ele reno

it's a tech card, only choose cards from your deck, and you don't lose the orginal copy. if you've seen magic, copy cards are around this mana range, and can be extremely powerful cards.

before you post, compare lists. this isn't your "aggro shaman" cancer, because it has top end,  is running no pirates, no jade, this is the old school midrange shaman, with some reasonable  tech.

firstly. you don't get a pack from brawl. you earn a pack for playing a mode that could be a horrible idea, even as they have gotten better. but they aren't promised to you, they didn't even have brawls at the start, and the quests were shitty. all but 10 of the 50 quests were 40 golds. in addition, this is literally just to get people voting, because they want the community involved, and nothing works better than free stuff. why it's old gods, who knows. but it's not cycling out, so your pack isn't worthless in a month. and btw. classic packs are effectively trash. your complaining your not getting trash.

the point is to include something that will crush them health wise. with jade druid, you aim for face, even in the control  vs control match up. druid never runs it's healing mechanics thinking that jade spam fatigue  will win the day, so every point they have matters. kazakus potions even can do it.

When we get this elemental destruction cycles out. Its no longer a part of the argument for what this theory craft deck uses for clears.

if you need to wipe out high hp minons, this card is the new option in ungoro.
