It doesn't have to be in a tournament to be a viable deck... plenty of streamers are playing it at high Legend rank.
This will be the new Kobold Librarian, played in every shaman deck.
The only reason this has overload it's because it's a shaman card. If it was for any other class it would be a 1 mana 2/1.
Haha, no. EVIL Cable Rat is balanced at 2 mana 1/1. At best, an equivalent class card would be a 2 mana 2/1. Consider the 2 mana 2/2 Deathrattle: Gain a lackey. Not only did it only gain +0/+1 for 1 mana, it also transitioned to a deathrattle, weaker than a battlecry.
Yes but deathrattles have more synergy in priest so it's not always weaker.
I'm already missing elementals.
Lmao you're joking right
Elemental shaman is at a 54% winrate right now and is one of the 10 most played decks. They're not super OP tier 0 deck but they are very competitive
Yes a 54% winrate deck just a few weeks before next expansion is not what i mean. And how many shaman decks did u see in tournoments?
Blizzard hates Shaman? Well they do, but not with this card. This will be the best 1 drop in the game, with guaranteed turn 2 minion to overcome the early game overload. It's going to be great.
I mean after aggro jade shaman, actually there were NO viable shaman deck... lich king patch was a fkin disaster for shaman, and other expansions too.. and Now hagatha legendary is just good for arena.. i mean.. come on give something to shaman..
btw not considering shudderwock shaman cuz as a shaman player never played it.. so boring
I was really hoping sludge belcher vol2 and sees this sh*t. im like wth
Seriously this card is the second best card revealed so far. After forbidden word
can someone tell me.. why blizzard hates shaman????
Nice curving if aggro shaman will be any good. Spends mana perfectly on turn1+2 or both turn2.
It's actually a good card cuz if you play it on turn 1, overload does not matter, it guaranteed a card to play on 2 depending of which lackey you got. Nice curvestone design
Seems okay. But where does it fit in?
new card?? hello??
A 1 mana 2-1 *generate X value* is always going to be good and will see play. (X being better value than restore 2 health)
So, since it hasn't the working 'random', does it mean that we can choose what lakey we get? If yes, this is bonkers. If not, it is still decent and extremly powerful in Arena
