This was one of the best Reveal videos I've ever seen, very detailed! Grats Pathra :)
Bogshaper seems a very strong card for Shaman.
I agree! Was browsing through the comments to see if anyone had commented on the video. I think it was the best I've seen, especially for the forest part. :D
When u already play this guy u will not have mana enough to do anythin, after several turns ain't spells u will have in ur deck to fulfill his job.
Wich means we will need some bullshit Agatha Hero power or The Neutral Shaman Minion (That's a pot) wich means this deck is bullshit even if this guy came to save Elemental Shaman Meta, it's too high and too bad.
For a Epic it should have Taunt
I refer you sir, to my comment above.
"Witchcraft" – 1 Mana, Overload 1, Echo, Give friendly minions Divine Shield, Windfury, Taunt, Rush (instead of Charge) Randomly
Rounds every shit witchwood card up
ARE YOU READY? FOOOORRRR TOTEMIC MIGHT + ANCESTRAL HEALING COMBOOOO WOMBBBOOOOOOO
*JOHN CENA THEME SONG PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND
Really good effect, especially combo-ed with the new shaman hero... but it a seems fairly slow, low impact card generator. Shaman is going to need some tempo if it hopes to play these value based cards.
Soooo... they handwaved why Ixlid, Fungal Lord is an Elemental while Bog Creeper, Fen Creeper, and Loatheb aren't by saying Ixlid is actually just a mossy Earth Elemental. I guess they just decided "screw it!"? I hope those three at least get proper tribing so it isn't so weird.
8 health is very much. Most classes can't deal 8 damage with a spell, and with 4 attack, it is annoying to kill with minions. Sure your opponent will want to kill this but it isn't so easy and it will many times stick, especially if you have some kind of boardcontroll.
Compare this to the 7 mana card Ancient of Lore. This is/was usually used to draw one (previously two) cards. Bogshaper is also a 7 mana card, but with better stats, Specific card draw (which is generally better) and the potential to draw much more, but will usually be played as a draw 1. Even if it just draws 1, the better body and the potential to draw more is enough to make this good.
I rate this card awesome, I don't know if it is enough alone to bring shaman to T1, but I can bet many goldcoins on that IF shaman is T1 this will be a card in that deck.
Nice in the 7 mana slot. The opponent needs to answer this card immediately and with 4 attack and 8 health it sticks pretty well. An Archetype pushing card for sure.
i got the best deals anywhere!
bogchamp 2.0!
I really like it. It has high health. The 4 attack makes it harder for priests to address. If you are playing Agatha, you can get a spell to immediately benefit from its effect. Actually makes totemic might a zero mana draw a card spell so getting it randomly doesn't feel so bad
Proper stats and a strong ability. That's more fuggn like it, Blizz.
Not sure it is better than, say, Tide Totem.
However, it is interesting design: they are trying to build an efficient card draw system that is only meant for lategame.
Playable for sure.
I hope they add the sound of the real creature to the card in the game... KAPA. That will be hilarious
this is an auto include epic btw
Hagatha the Witch, Unstable Evolution & now this ; seeing a pattern yet?
