Cauldron Elemental Card Review

Another bad card. 8 mana for a 7/7 is bad, that’s a start. Giving +2 attack to your Elementals is a very specific kind of buff. Unless you have a full deck built around Elementals, it won’t even affect your whole board. Even in a full deck, if you get some tokens (like Shaman Totems), they still aren’t Elementals, so they won’t be buffed.

To be honest, I’d probably put a Stormwind Champion into my deck before this, and just look at how many people are running Stormwind Champion in their decks.

It can be situationally useful to discover from e.g. Servant of Kalimos if you’re looking for a finisher in your Elemental deck, but I can’t honestly see anyone wanting this in their deck.

Card rating: 2/10

    7/7 is can be seen if it is 5 mana. So its text is for 3 mana. It could be good if it was for all minions like a small bloodlust. But its not so I don’t think its gonna see any play.

      In something like Elemental Shaman (where you’d have the Bloodlust option) almost all of your minions are going to be Elementals anyway… but having said that, Kalimos is a better 8-drop.

    Properly just play 1 Card of This, Due to how Niche it is.

    However with that said, Maybe Elemental Mage might Pick it up; Especially for the Synergy of Frost Lich Jaina.

    It’s probably meant as a Kalimos: Earth follow-up. Checks out with the mana cost. If that is good enough to make it a playable card? I doubt it. Oh well.

    Could the art on this card be a reference to Magnokor of the CLASSIC 80’s cartoon Inhumanoids?!?

    I agree it’s pretty bad as is. For funsies tho, anyone got ideas on how to summon this out for free?

    Obvious comparison is Murloc Warleader. Understatted, costly, and Elementals don’t flood the board like Murlocs do. So yeah… pretty underwhelming win-more card. 2/5 stars.

    If it had stealth, this card would be so much better.

    Elementals are a bit to slow for this type of card, you’re probably not gonna get much value. Second of all bad statted considering warleader is a 3/3 for 3 mana, tho i suppose that is an epic.
