Priest + BM = Ratkid
This card is actually rather powerful. It's a Deathlord body, with a different draw back. The overload is a pain, but it leaves you with 1 mana for turn 4 if played on 3, which can still be a Lightning Bolt or something. It might not be good enough until rotation, but it's certainly ok.
1 mana spells, kek :v
This card is actually worse than Blade Flurry.
Tunnel Trogg big bro who will defend him until he is big enough to oneshot oopponents face.
Priest will be more happy that you have this card in your deck than you.
This card could potentially be a problem. While it will skip your turn 3 (really bad) you can essentially hide your low-cost minions behind it, denying your opponent trades while chipping away at his face. Hard to say really, would need some serious playtesting (and I don't play aggro enough to rightfully judge) but this could be a pretty good addition for aggro decks.
Priest emote... "Thank you"
I dont get Blizzard's overload policy,Feral Spirit 2 overload, Flamewreathed Faceless 2 overload but this card has 3 overload why?
By the way this card reminds me Deathlord with its mana cost and stats, and might have some use with Tunnel Trogg on wild, but I wouldnt choose it over Feral Spirit or Hot Spring Guardian for standard..
Why? because it has 8 health on turn 3. Are you stupid or?
Probably because all succesful Shaman right now are aggro-midrangey and a 3-cost card you play on turn 7 is just dead weight.
It's so bad that it has to be good. Consider all the variants of this that they surely tested first before they printed this.
It probably started its life as a 4/6 taunt for 3 mana:
Compared with Bloodhoof Brave it would have been a natural minion overstat for Shaman + overload as payment for playing this earlier.During testing it wrecked everything as a 2 of with mid - lategame viability where overload doesn't hurt as much a good chunk of the time.
This will be cancer for anything that isn't priest I predict on that basis.
On the other side, no turn 3 ragnaros for your opponent
Priest says thank you.
This card was clearly only designed to give Shaman even better high rolls when evolving their two drops.
How interesting would this card be if it had deathrattle: deal 5 damage to your minions?
