Wisp Shaman, boyz!
This would be awesome is the cost would have been even.
This is nowhere near bad. You get 1 Dragon and this pays for itself. this is much easier to play and has way better percentage than Spiteful Summoner or any type of evolve. Sure you may get mediocre results. There are way more good outcomes.
How many minions do you have to have for it to be good and how often will Bloodlust be better?
I mean sure, it gets points for fun. OP was talking about how strong it is, and I'm having a hard time seeing running it over bloodlust if you're trying to win.
ok now they show us the druid legendary spell at the final stream .... best at least ... help
Even if the majority of legendaries were meta defining, you would be naive not to expect the worst. I would be shocked if even a quarter of the people who preordered get the legendary they want as their golden bonus. Better to just count it as dust and be pleasantly surprised if it's something you like. I think in the future they should offer a bundle for each class and each bundle could include 60 or so packs plus the golden legendary for that class. I would love a rogue bundle.
This is sort of like Evolve, except you're not always assured a higher mana minion at the price of usually getting a decent minion... without the battlecry. I'm sure someone on reddit will eventually come out with a table of Standard Legendaries, and which outcome would be a "win" vs which would be a "loss". Example, If you roll Bloodmage Thalnos on what was a Glacial Shard or totem, it's a loss. If you roll King Krush on what was a totem, it's obviously a win. If a redditor made a table, I'm willing to bet they'd find that most times it's a win on totems, but with the base of a 2 mana 2/3, it's only usually a win, which is a bad base when most of your turn goes into this spell.
Overall, an ok card but I can't imagine it being run in any decks. Even Shaman is the only other deck archetype right now and it's an aggro deck that typically has big minions so trying to buff your 8/8's and 7/7's are too risky. Even "for fun" there's better alternatives such as Mage or Rogue.
Just after reviewing the current, non-Boomsday legendaries, I'm counting 19 bad and 72 acceptable to good. That's a 20% chance for each minion on the board to be acceptable or good. An example of a bad is Lynessa and Chameleos. An acceptable result is even something like Millhouse. A 4/4 is acceptable if it used to be a 1/1 totem. Frankly, if you are Thrall Deathseeker and you play this on 9 or 10 mana, even getting a bad result can be addressed immediately.
This fits the power level of the legendary spells we've seen up to this point, I feel. Not overpowered, but it will have an 80% chance per minion to improve your board state. Even better if you can make trades beforehand or hit face and then 'heal' your board through transformation.
This + Coin out two of the sparks with the new spell and you get a full board of LEGENDARY MINIONS!!! MAWHAHAHAHA!
So many bad legendaries. Rip golden legendary preorder !!!
most of those spells are decent. this one.....not so much
Wisp + Wisp + The Storm Bringer = 2 random legendaries on turn 7
*random Nat Pagle and Lorewalker Cho on turn 7
enough with that cho jokes.
That doesnt do anything beneficial, that just rolls it twice
This is the best card ever :D I love it!
Turn 10. Electra Stormsurge + The Storm Bringer
And what's the point? You'll get a legendary and then...you will transform it into another legendary
what if first appeared legendaries were better than newers?
This combo does nothing more. It isn't Transform into higher cost. it is rarity pumper and the highest rarity is legendary.
"transform your minions into random heroes!" lol.
