Curse of Naxxramas - Shaman Card Revealed - Rebirth
A new card from the Curse of Naxxramas Adventure has appeared on the PlayHearthstone Twitter account and it's a Shaman Card! You can find more information about Curse of Naxxramas here. If you'd like to take part in discussion of the card over on our forums, there's a thread for that.
Quote from @PlayHearthstone“Elements guide me!” Rebirth guides your minions back to the realm of the living in Curse of Naxxramas this summer!
Quote from Ben BrodeWhat is the result of Cairne Bloodhoof + Ancestral Spirit + Rebirth? 1 Baine Bloodhoof + 2 Cairnes?
Correct. Ancestral Spirit has new, clearer text in Naxx, too.
Thanks for all the feedback on the name of the new Shaman spell. We are discussing it. (Source)

Posted Aug 6, 2014 (Naxx Launch)Just faced a shaman on ladder this card is insane, had 4 rags on the field after placing down baron and doing a ancestral spirit rebirth combo and a faceless on the next turn.

Posted May 24, 2014 (Live Patch 5435)As stupid as it is, how about baron+loot hoarder+Ancestral+rebirth=loot hoarder 3x and 2 card draw, and if baron lives then you sack hoarders next turn, because lets be honest, no one is going to kill loot hoarder with Baron on the board. You have gotten 8 card draw and 6 damage (hoarders), plus a baron rivendare for 4 cards and 10 mana. Still a terrible play. Also works with leper gnome, giving you 16 possible face damage, or with nerubians, giving you 2 nerubians right of the bat with potential for six more the following turn with the with flametounge plus ramming then into enemy minions. Combo wombo

Posted May 26, 2014 (Live Patch 5435)It seems more likely that control of the minion would not change when using it offensively. The shaman can target enemy minions just like the priest in the example.

Posted May 23, 2014 (Live Patch 5435)Yes you can! Use Faceless Manipulator and rebirth it! Bang! 5/3 weapon and a 6/6taunt divine shield. Balanced card pffff give me a break Blizzard, this card should cost 5 mana at least.

Posted May 22, 2014 (Live Patch 5435)The thing the naysayers aren't realizing about Rebirth is that it has so much varied utility. There are the very strong (maybe OP) gimmick plays with Leeroy, Sylvanas and Cairne. But even if those plays never become available to you in a match, Rebirth can also act as a silence. It can also act as a dispel. It can act as a full heal on a tough minion. It can fire off any other deathrattle you may have on the board, and then return that card to play so that you can potentially get the deathrattle benefit again.
Rebirth is a strong card not just because of the gimmick/OTK possibilities it packs, but because it can change the board landscape in so many other different ways. Rebirth is not a one-trick pony.
