i dont want to discover at the end of my turn, i need an answer for this turn.
Not only that, but mage has so many "discover a spell" cards, that powercreep that.
Even in a very very slow meta, this feels meh. but lets see the other cards. -

xskarma posted a message on New Neutral Cards Revealed - 3 CardsPosted in: NewsI said this with the Mini set for Lich King that we might be seeing Elemental packages for Shaman and Mage lurking in the next expansion, and this Rolling Stone just further makes me wonder if there's going to be elemental shenanigans again.

Philosophical_Tree posted a message on Rewards Track Refresh for Murder at Castle NathriaPosted in: NewsFor as divisive as some of this tavern pass may be, can we all take a moment and appreciate that mage did not, in fact, get another diamond legendary?
Could have been a better legendary choice (diamond Rafaam when?) but I'll take it being a non-mage legendary.

Put Primal Dungeoneer in core set blizzard!

This is just great draw engine alone for Shaman. 6 Mana draw three and in almost every scenario play one of those for free.

Am I reading that Groovy Cat right? When you've played it and it's killed, your hero power gives 3 attack for the rest of the game? WHAT?

It's not that good. 2 mana discover once a turn? Maybe in a control-style deck, which Mage probably won't have.

I really like most of what they did for Shaman.
Grand Totem Eys'or will be playable for the first time in Standard. There is now plenty of Totems and support cards, especially with the newly added Thing from Below. I don't think it'll be Tier 1 deck, but much better than before. Unnerf to Hex and buff to Menacing Nimbus make only sense.
Ancestral Knowledge (with juicy buff) and Overdraft are just what the Overload archetype needed. I think these two cards are key pieces for making the deck work. I think Zap! might also fit in the deck as 0-cost Overload card. I'm also glad that they kept Overload cards such as Novice Zapper, Lightning Bolt and Lightning Storm in Core set to support the archetype. I'm only missing Lava Burst with Overload:(1) and Serpentshrine Portal. Still overall good support for Overload stuff.
Now for the negative stuff. I think it would've been time to say good bye to Al'Akir the Windlord and Doomhammer, as iconic as they are. They haven't seen much play in recent years and I don't think Overload won't help Doomhammer since there aren't proper cards that would buff it. We also got Jazz Bass as an Overload weapon and I think Shaman wants to run it in Overload decks. I also think Flametongue Totem should've been buffed to 0/3. With zero attack, most Totems should have at least premium health to ensure a bit of longevity in battlefield.
All in all, I'd give this Core set for Shaman a solid 8.5/10 as a Shaman main. I'm excited to try out the new Overload Shaman and also go back to Totem Shaman again.

You are thinking about Feral Spirit.

You basically need to run all three in the same deck, just like with Relics.

This is VERY powerful draw engine, could see this being nerfed to 5 mana in the future

I really hope they put OG Lady Vashj portrait in shop soon, the only Shaman skin I miss and want
