The idea of the quests is very bored for me. We already had them. I preferred something new instead.
Why it should be even considered in murlock decks? It's anti-tempo card...
There are exactly 4 Murlocs with battlecry, and none of them is that good (the best one doesn't benefit from doubling). So even without taking into account the effect of having 1 less card in hand at the beginning of the game and spending turn 1 doing nothing, no one would ever run this is a Murloc deck.
As for nerfing this - Rogue has something close to this in Spirit of the Shark and while you only have to play a little of watch championships to realize how insane it is, there was never a call to nerf it.
Summoning a larger and larger man...
Very quick and easy to proc, the passive is strong, Shaman already has lots of support for Battlecry (think Shudderwock decks), and the original Shaman hero power is notoriously weak. This will see lots of play.
Not passive hero power though if that's what you meant.
If it was passive it would have actually been OP. Can't play Shudderwock with activating the hero power.
What about a possible combo with Electra Stormsurge and any direct damage spell (Lava Burst)?
is it going to hit target for 20?
15
it will hit any spell from Electra TWICE, no matter what was done before. twice is 2 times.
Yes but Twice, twice time ?
if You say "do it Twice" 10 times it will still remain Twice, not 20
Just 6 battlecries..and it's not restricted to minions. Seems too easy for decent payoff.
IMO this card is crazy good, the only downside for me is that it's not playable in even shaman.
question: if I use this hero power and play Lifedrinker its battlecry will go twice. if the next turn I play shudderwork, it will do the Lifedrinker battlecry twice?
No. Because Shudderwock repeats as many buttlecries as many cards have been played.
But it's (Shudderwocks) battlecry will trigger twice, so yes.
Just not 4x6 swing yet...
Also, don't forget that Shudderwock is 9 mana, and you need to activate the hero power with 2.
no, because that doesn't work with either bran nor that 2 mana elemental. so won't work with this heropower either.
This is also a green men pleague card for Shaman in wild.
