Also notice the key difference between the text on this and Malorne. They're trying to prevent the buggy garbage inherent with Malorne. (Deathrattle triggering kills it, it doesn't play nice with effects like Spirit Echo, etc)
I don't know why they refuse to just go back and fix Malorne to have this same effect.
I'm the only one who voted "dust it". I think this card is awful. It's in a class that doesn't run much battle cry. Sure it's great with kalimos, even with servant of Kalimos it's not that great.
In currently viable shaman decks the only things this is worth synergizing with is doppelgangster but then your're looking at an 8 mana 3 card combo and we know how reliable that is. At that level, you're usually looking at OTK combos instead. This might be decent with aya but aya is a one of legendary so inconsistent.
Why is it only decent with Aya? Aya's battlecry effect is exactly the same as every other Jade card. It would be just as effective with Jade Claws and Spirit. That's 5 cards, not one.

A huge and well deserved kick to the crotch for Razakus Priest.

It's kind of cool, but this effect has never stopped much removal before.

3/1 draw a card for 2 is excellent. Even better if you meticulously control which weapons it pulls.

It's a swarm in a box, and for once the effect is on battlecry not deathrattle. You could rig things up to pull an interesting barrage of creatures.

Why would anyone think this is good? It has a mediocre stat line, and I wouldn't WANT to draw it again later.
It's not even a Beast!

Finally the splash effect on a cheap minion that doens't have awful stats. This is excellent.

The mammoth is better.....

A card Hunter desperately needed and it's common so it'll be all over arena.

At least they fixed the stupidity inherent with Sacrificial Pact by forcing it to only hit allied minions and not some specific type.

Screw you, Blizzard.

High value, slow card. It's not bad, it's just slow.

Maybe replace the Jade Blossoms in a deck in which you're not playing Jade?
