there are many decks out there in the tournament metas that don't play hard removal or if they do it is very limited. This card is perfectly fine as is and the rarity is correct. You wouldn't want a card that has such limited use as a common.
Even with +1/1 this card would be bad. With +2/2 it would be playable as a 6 mana 6/7 with an upside sometimes. Boi this card is a really strong contender for the worst card of the set. You want your totems to stick around for your synergies.
And then your Mana Tide Totem sticks and you are pretty happy, until you realize that this guy is your turn 4 play.
As Shaman in general, I don't know guys, maybe Blizzard is too afraid of the evergreen cards, Fire Elemental, Bloodlust, Flametongue Totem, Doomhammer, Lava Burst, Lightining Bolt, Mana Tide Totem, are powerful. The class has potential to explode in your face mid game, I guess it's hard to make Shaman good and not broken.
One thing that I know is that I don't want the LoE -> MSoG Shaman ever again.
Lets push each year a bit of totem shaman, but never complete it... nice
Synergy with Nightmare Amalgam
There is potential in this card, but the problem is just that your opponent can clear you totems, making this a 4 mana 2/3 or 6 mana 4/5, and it also destroys your totems, would have been way better if it was a 3/4 that gave you totems +1/+1
So it is at least a 6 mana 4/5 with taunt since you can hero power...If you have a totem from the turn before, or something like that, it is a 6 mana 6/7 taunt or 4 mana 4/5 taunt. Compare this with [card]second rate bruiser[card], which is a 5 mana 4/5 taunt or possibly 3 mana, AND does not destroy stuff (which you might need?) for you.
Quite trash, and will certainly not be a part of any T1 dekc... but It will still be playable in a totem deck (remember I said not T1) and certainly quite good in Arena.
thats a bad card for a class that bean none existent for the past year, 4 mana with 2/3 stats is awful, the effect is bad too, hero powering the first turns, meaning you so behind on curve you hardly will recover, not to mention totems have most of them no atk value, will be wiped of the board with anything
well i hope im wrong and there is some not a meme way to make shaman work
Even if totem shaman was a thing this card is trash.Why let's say u totem on 2 u totem on 3 and this on 4 u remove 1/3 or 0/4 stats to get a 6/7 now the question would be what idiot won't free trade into your totems, not only that but if u play a chain gang instead you will keep the totems and get more stats on board for a classes that uses wide boards better than 1 big minion. what totem shaman really need is something like mark of the louts for totems and a good way to put more than 1 totem on board and a good stand alone totem like totem golem to be good a viable deck. And the question is why aren't you helping archetypes that are almost playable like (murloc/elemental/overload) instead of doing totem shaman.you can give good murlocs for shaman and murloc sham is gonna be a thing not some summon 1/1 murloc trash but a good murloc/you can give good card draw for the other 2 and u can give them a good AOE spell for big boards of minions instead u try and do a new archetype every expansion like totem shaman like freeze shaman.

Why are they trying to make totem shaman a thing? Its not working, stop releasing these useless shaman cards and help the class..
Is it normal that my first thought is that Twitch chat will go crazy after some streamer makes it a 4 mana 26/27 in some game. :)
max it can get is 14/15 but good luck with that lmao
EDIT:actually maybe it can get to 20+/20+ with a Murmuring Elemental and Primal Talismans but still incredibly unlikely it will survive even if it does
It'll be a 22/23 with the Murmuring Elemental.
WIll not work with Murmuring Elemental. Same as you do not draw twice with Harrison Jones when you destroy weapon. When battlecry triggers second time all totems are dead already.
UNLESS you give you totems deathrattles to summon more totems XD
Doesn't it? Void Terror used to work twice with Brann Bronzebeard. It didn't kill any extra minions, the initial ones were "killed" twice.
another trash card for shaman. f..k u blizzard. this card looks like warlock class.
why does it have to have a 2 mana stat line for an effect that isn't even that great even though it's a little bit hard to pull off? this is 400dust Chillwind Yeti with taunt most of the time,but at least Chillwind Yeti doesn't kill your totems lol.
EDIT: actually this is even worse than i thought,it's a class card,class cards should have a way bigger power creep than neutral cards,wow team 5 must have something against shaman fo' real
Its for even-cost deck, when you can sapn totems with 1 mana and eat em.
5 mana 4/5 taunt still sounds really bad
Ye, but 6 mana 6/7 taunt is already not bad, and 7 mana 8/9 taunt and more is good as fuck. So you need to setup totems and then play this.
