Phew. I was worried this would be an actual good rogue weapon that would ruin the design space. Scared me for a moment there.
Should've been a Rogue card IMO. And instead of Overload: (1), it should require a Combo for the Jade Golem. Really hope Rogue gets something like that.
the card isnt that good because on turn 2 you will get a 1/1 and it cant kill anything with 2hp. in the lategame a 2/2 is not very impactful but the golem is, so you might wanna play a other golem summon card
tldr: wont see much play or only jade shamans
Why would you use the jade golem to kill something with 2 hp when you can just attack it using the weapon?
the weapon cant kill anything ffs
Except you know , the minions with 2 health you said the golems would be useless against
i didnt say the golems were useless vs them but most minions these days have more than 2 hp
Then why was your example a minion with "2 hp"? And not one of the minions that are played "these days" that have "more than 2 hp"??
I feel like if jade golem becomes a thing this'll be broken.
Card design and listening to the community at its best.
Stormforged Axe is considered a bad card, so how is losing 1 durability for a 1/1 better early game?
Sure it will become stronger late game, but then it conflicts with ironmarvel's statement of giving shaman early weapon
Stormforged Axe is not a bad card - it's just that Shaman got a shitload of insane cards from the lastest expansions, and because of that it doesn't see any play.
This card wasn't made to use in Midrange Shaman - it was made to use in Jade Decks, and while summoning a 1/1 and a 2/2 doesn't sound all that appealing, you need to remember that those two minions has the ''battlecry'' of giving all future Jade Golems +1/+1.
It also doesn't acquire you to have spell damage on the board like Spirit Claws - you can now kill 3/2's in the early game while filling your board up with Jade Golem tokens. Jade Lightning will now summon a 3/3 instead of a 1/1.
Right now Shaman already got 2 other good cards that work with Jade Golems, and there still a bunch of cards left to reveal.
Didn't blizzard learned something from Spirit Claws?
Will play that weapon only because of fabulous art XD Who care's about Spirit Claws then we have this one (sarcasm).
Mean Street's of Jade Golems
I said that image for a 4 cost 2/3 shaman weapon ( under the lotus reveal page) with "whenever this loses durability summon a jade golem" Overload(1). cost was false, durability and text false but i knew that was a shaman weapon that summons jadegolems. Good for me :P
It seems they found my card so overpowered. :P
I'm starting to believe that limited weapon/card design freeing up (nerf to BF) wasn't to give Rogue cool new weapons. They Just needed to free it up for the other classes so that Rogues didn't accidentally get any of these better weapons by accident from accidentally getting Malkrok from the gimmick uncompetitive burgle. Cause some people just like to have fun in casual and having a Rogue rng a spirit claws would destroy the very fabric of the universe.
I could have honestly sworn this weapon was predicted by someone on hearthpwn, even down to the same art but different buff while golem was on the board.
Only difference being was we thought it'd be a Rogue card and not the 7th face tool weapon for shaman.......
It's nice to see Valeera's design space hard at work improving Thrall's weapons!
