Nice card, I’ve experimented with an off-meta overload deck that this would fit right into. Doubtful that it will actually push the archetype far forward, but it’s a start.
That spell would be bonkers so I hope you’re right.
I hope overload shaman will return. This class should have great overload, elemental or murloc synergies (and that frozen thing), but all that contemporary sees play is that Shudder pain.
Are you a designer? Why do you think your opinion matters?
Are you contributing to the discussion? Why do you think your toxic response matters?
I think you should overload as well, man.
That is exactly what he meant
Sparks shaman new meta woooooowwwww!!!
Nah, just shit like freeze shaman
With a flametongue totem or dire wolf alpha out, this card turns zap and voltaic burst into very cheap board clears.
What works against it is that the current Shaman tempo lists in standard are even builds that dont run many overload cards. In wild, the even Shaman builds do have a bit more overload but not zap, so given the slightly underpowered stats on this card, it would effectively be a 6 drop.
It’s definitely worth trying to build around this - it is a brutal snowball card and in combination with cheap overload cards can have an immediate impact to make up for low stats. Playing against this as (eg) warlock zoo will be an absolute nightmare.
The point of a new expansion is to make new decks lol... not to make new cards to put in current decks like shudderwock. We have so many cards left left to reveal including the legendary spell for shamen so no none can comment what deck this will go in.
That's a godlike tier card in arena, and probably will see play in constructed too
Great synergy with Lightning Storm for clearing the leftovers from low rolls
nonsense. 3+4= 7 mana removal (no matter what gives body) + 2 crystal overload. Volcano much better. we need cards like Lava Shock for this synergy.
That's optional synergy... You play that one and synergize it with any overload card. This is not a card, that you can play only with lightning storm...
Violet Teacher saw play in token druid so this card is at least viable in wild.
Agrro is obvious. Another one is perhaps evolve shaman with Voltaic Burst.
I hope elemental overload becomes a thing.
This + a zap could kill something and four pally tokens before their turn 5 level up. That alone could put this in even shaman tbh because that deck has no answer to odd pally right now. It has synergy with the board buffs in that deck too. Not really any other good even overload cards to zap might not be enough.
In even Shaman its nice with Zap when Aggro is meta :)
If a mass buff spell like Everyfin is Awesome is revealed, but for elementals this card would be insane. Doubt there will be, but cool thought anyways.
Legendary spell: Your overload cards don't overload you for the rest of the game.
My wild prediction.
You see, this is why we need Ben Brode back in Blizzard.
