not quite how it works, it destroys them on the first battlecry, so the second wouldn't do anything.
i dunno, Void Terror does stack the effect with doubling battlecries, despite destroying the minions. we'll have to see and find out.
You are right. Look at Mind Control Tech, playing it with Brann Bronzebeard will only steal 2 minions if your opponents has 5+ minions.
jsager99's right it will destroy it twice and will gain attack twice
I remember in the good old days when I would use power overwhelming on a minion and then combo Brann Bronzebeard and Void Terror to create MASSIVE minions.

The minion that is all tribes is a totem too. Nom.
I guess if it got a value trade in first then nomed it'd be ok, otherwise killing a 3/4 for +2/+2 in stats seems bad.
4 drop? no good . wide board is plus for shaman not removing . but not sure for new meta . as it is combo for hagatha and the cauldron .
It's a very flexible card. Assuming you can hit one totem, he is decent against aggro. In a control match where you may be able to eat a couple of totems he becomes a good pile of stats even though he will probably be answered immediately and his effect of killing your totems probably just helped your opponent clear your board. It's okay, I would say probably 2 out of 5. In most cases a skilled player will work to keep totems off the board, meaning this is a 2/3 with taunt.
This is an alright card but it suffers what any card like this does, being susceptible to hard removal and silence. So even if destroy 4 totems it can easily get removed and you wasted your previous turns building up to it. Not only that but Shaman is in a pretty bad spot right now and it doesn't seem like any of their revealed card is going to help them out of it.
Edit: Not sure why this got downvoted. This card is very susceptible to Spellbreaker, hard removal, and any decks that can keep your totems in control during the early game. The card is still ok/good and would probably see play in Shaman decks ... but its not OP and certainly isn't going to carry the Shaman class to greatness.
It's a Shaman version of Scavenging Hyena
Strictly speaking, the maximum value is 5 totems with a Murmuring Elemental, giving it 22/23 in stats. Of course, that would require an opponent to be stupid enough to leave 5 totems on the board so you can bloodlust or drop this guy.
If you destroy one totem it's a better Sen'jin Shieldmasta, so pretty good in arena.
4 mana 6/7 taunt I think this card is very good. I can see any type of control shaman using this, I know I will.
It won't be any good while we're stuck in Spellbreaker meta, and that won't go away until a nerf or control lock dies
I don't think this is bad at all, very often you have at least 1 totem, so, as a tempo tool i think is fine.
This is a lot better than people realize...you'll be able to clear off any excess space from too many totems, and have a big taunt, that can then be played with other minions. Not a "goes in every deck" type of card, but quite good in a more control oriented deck.
