Creative and interesting.This card requires board presence and but it belongs to one of the classes that develop the board the least.Maybe if priest becomes more of a tempo/midrange class instead of a reactive class which I doubt.
Nevertheless one of the cooler cards released so far (not the other cards are trying to hard)

To the people saying "if Velen/Malygos survives one turn you can..... and win" yup that's how those decks work already if Velen/Malygos survives 1 turn you won already most of the time.

I keep reading this thinking that I'm missing something but it's just trash.If you are going to create a mode where you remove most of the good cards from the game at least try a little harder to make something playable.
A 2/3 taunt is worth 2 mana.Why would I pay 2 more to get a 2/2 slime from the deathrattle.

What a waste of a card you paid 1 more for a harvest golem with taunt that summon a minion with 1 more Health and none of the is a mech.

What about a "bluff" deck actually. Just put 1 or 2 cultists (like the Twilight one, which is vanilla and pretty solid) without C'Thun intentionnally just to make think your opponent it's a C'Thun deck, so he's prepared for it, but it's actually not ! Maybe this idea is foolish, I know, but could be a thing, at least for a test. Because, why not ?

Do you guys think they might do Corrupted versions of classic CLASS Legendaries?  Such as Corrupted Archmage Antonidas or Corrupted Tirion Fordring?

Edit: added CLASS

Grim patron created a strategy that revolves around....etc.

Yeah Blizzard can't even remember what they said 5 minutes ago.

People still thinking that battlecry shaman is thing.....Rumbling Elemental is an awful card and outside of that there isn't much to push battlecry shaman.

Blizzard is going to throw 1 card of each new mechanic at shaman, some murlocs, some rng cards and cross their fingers that something come out of that.It's what they have done every expansion/adventure and see how that worked.

Face shaman is the first playable deck in at least a year, the deck pretty much revolves around abusing 2 cards Trogg and DoomHammer, the rest of the class cards are still mediocre at best. and the last poll revealed that almost 50% of the players think that shaman is worst class.

I don't see much potential in the class other than the face-deck, the moment that isn't viable the class is in trouble.
Granted we haven't seen any new card for shaman, so like always I hope that I'm wrong, but I have been waiting to be wrong with my predictions about shaman cards since GVG.

Edit: Nice job at reading that this is the shaman forum guys.

And I thought that WOW has been dumbed down to the point that anyone could play...man I was wrong.

The starting zones are linear, the quest objectives are shown in the map you automatically get skills for leveling up, mass loot, the game automatically equips bags for you, you dont need to train to use new weapons anymore and even in questing gear almost nothing can kill you 1v1,1v2 until at least level 20.
I leveled my character with just quest rewards, never died and I think I eat like 3 times...

Also  it's just a skin no one is obligating you to get it if you hate it so much.

Looks nice.If you are against a fast deck this is an early minion if you are against a slow deck you save it for later.

It's not the same kind of card but if discover has teach us anything is that cards that fill up your curve are generally good.

Same here.I have been only login to do my dailies for more than a month now, I was hoping for the expansion to be released one month after the announce at worst, taking into account the last video when they said that they learned that launching stuff to far away from the announcement was bad.

Image my surprise when they revealed the launch date, that pretty much overshadowed any hype I had for the expansion.

More time to farm gold.I won't be needing to buy packs this time, so it's their lost i guess.

The main thing I don't like about this, is that is encourages an unhealthy about of play. The more arena you play the more chances you have to get 12 wins. There was a reason that the old honor system in WoW was removed.

Can't wait for popular Y'Shaarj, Rage Unbound decks

Doomcaller but no Call of the Wild. smh

Having an old board corrupted is nice and within the concept but I'd also like to have another board that takes us to the Old God's realm.

Old Gods board... well... the board really feels Old...

stupid move blizzard....stupid move....

Exclusive content is the worst kind of shit. Well done blizzard!

I hope they release it on other platform too after the event is done and they hear the amount of complaints.

And where are the other alternative heroes???

Like seriously... Who thinks they get away with this kind of BS.

I think announcing an expansion 1 month before launch is fine, but this time it are almost 2 months even though they said announcing something too early like they did with Naxxramas is bad.

Because any unanswered 'two card over two turn' combo in maly or reno anything past t9 will essentially win you the game. This is a great way to lock in a win, but those sort of win more answers already exist. Dropping this on t5/t6 against a board that demands AoE is not much different than a raw 4/6 with taunt , making it a legendary lesser sludge belcher equivalent. The card is by no means bad, but it's not the sort of game changer that Shaman needs to dig itself out of it's current hole. Like @asylum_rhapsody said, the card is 'perfectly reasonable', but people probably had too high expectations for Shaman because of past abuse. People will probably have similar expectations for struggling classes with bad legendaries like Hunter and Rogue after so many horrific TGT cards.

That being said, card predictions made in a vacuum are wrong almost all of the timing, so maybe it'll be amazing. Bring it on!

It's so bad that it hurts
