Man if this was 6 or 8 mana I would craft golden version blizzard please fix Kappa
Seems “ok”. Figures that shaman would get one of the more mediocre cards. It has some potential in the more specific decks, I guess.
Token Shaman might be playable but I think DK would be much more useful.
You are pushing to win at early-mid turns, but at turn 10, you can Bloodlust + DK to stabilize your board.
Or just DK turn 5 to stabilize and then win the board or the game with Bloodlust…
What can you do with this? Maybe in 1/13 games you can get a huge, game winning board, and that’s all.
At turn 7 you’re pushing to finish or dominate board, nothing this card can give.
Still, definetely fun although I’m not a big fan of RNG.
Considering the last 2 legendary minions I got from Rotface were Nat Pagle and Lorewalker Cho, this card is bound to be terrible if I ever play it 😐 Anyone else will get the Lich King of course…
Im feeling the same
Think it’ll be a decent card to get from Hagatha. That’s about it.
If every legendary card was good then there wouldn’t be much room for other cards in constructed. Sometimes legends are just for fun and this seems like a fun card. Good in Arena and fun in constructed even if it’s not a competitive card. I don’t understand the commenters who feel burned when a legend is bad, almost half the legends ever made in HS aren’t constructed playable and that will always be the case. Plus Shaman got a really solid legend this expansion so it’s ok if this one is just for fun.
This is a token card? Or evolve because legendarys (mostly) are expensive.
Ehhhhhhhh……..I Ehhhhhhhhhhh…….just Ehhhhhhhhhhhhh……..
Give kt a 1.5/5
The times comes and you are about to lose the game in fatigue, you have no cards left except your last, which is this. You play the hero power to to try your last chance, could it be? YES! it is mechacthun, the dream come true! you stand on your chair to make the victory dance before passing.
And then opponent silences it and you retire.
*expire.
finally some garbo for shaman, shudderwock kinda sucked them off for a while, and most likely still will until rotation time, blizz nerfs or creates a counter to the deck besides the class specific warlock card
hmmm… i think the card is boring :/ i dont really like that evolving has become a part of shaman
Getting random legendaries is generally bad because a lot of them are garbage or garbage if your deck isn’t built around them or their battlecry doesn’t trigger.
That said, I’m sure someone will get it off of Hagatha and it’ll end up on Trolden lol.
This won’t be played in a deck but hagatha will be able to make it and be played in a late game which could find a lot of value out of that’s the only situation I can see fit for this card
Ok why this when they could have made it “transform your minions into minions that cost 4 more” for like 5 or 6 mana.
Well, this is more fun
I think this card is just a little bit better than people are saying it is. It has good synergy with the voltaic burst, and is a great card to get from runespear, which I understand also sucks, but it could be like a two card, 10 mana combo if your board is empty to summon three random legendaries, excluding if you have an existing board. This is still pretty bad, and quite disappointing considering how much they have hyped shaman spells this and last expansion, but is not complete trash
If token shaman is a thing, with sparks, i could see this and bloodlust being played as finishers
Doesn’t even matter if you think you would run it in a shaman deck (which more than likely you won’t). Hagatha and Witch’s Cauldron can generate this. I think there in lies the value.
Feels bad shamen. This can not really be good unless there’s no lorewalker millhouse oakheart
Etc with not great stats and or Battlecry
2/5 extra for good meme
Rng shaman. Lets goooo!
Shaman has no trouble generating a board. Bloodlust is better if you have lethal. But otherwise this potentially makes the board much harder to clear.. I would’ve liked it to only hit minions with cmc 3 or more, so Electra actually comboed nicely. But still nice. 3.5/5
Random again? they are really out of ideas
The value of a random legendary minion could quite easily be less than what the minions this is being played on is, especially if it’s a legendary minion with a battlecry. As such The Storm Bringer is probably overcosted.
If you do play enough tokens, you should get an overall gain in value, but come turn seven, an Aggro Token Shaman would probably rather just drop a Bloodlust and probably break through whatever defenses their opponent has than play the lottery with this.
This compares poorly to Evolve generally, but the variance does put it far above the potential Evolve has. However, the extra six mana of cost really hurts the chances of this being a win condition in a token deck with Bloodlust is cheaper.
They can’t make this spell 6 cost or it will be just too good in even shaman since they get out lots of tokens easily and quickly. They can’t reduce it to 5 cost or else that would be a huge turn 5 power play. I think this card is super akward since they can’t change the cost of it and it’s effect can be strong but only if you high roll.
should of been 5 or 6 with overload…. they printed overload token maker and no overloads
The high rolling nature of the card is exactly why it should be cheaper. At the price it currently sits at, it could quite easily be priced out of an aggro deck, and its high cost comes at a time where most classes would have a capable response to a board of 1/1s becoming decent minions.
It can definitely cost 5. It costs way too much and is competing with bloodlust anyway. I’d rather play thrall deathseer if I want to casino my board as well since I dont want garbage tier legendaries and thrall also costs less so I can at least PLAY minions in the same turn. Your best play with this is 2x the new 1 manaspell and this for 9, but you probably already played those and your fireflies and such early on (like turn 1) so that’s unreliable.
Maybe it can cost 5 but imo playing this on a curve when you have a relatively big board would be really strong since if you high roll more than one big target, your opponent literally had no way to deal with it and it is on turn 5. Most board clear cards are high cost so just making it 5 Mana could cause some meta breaking shaman decks. However I’m not saying it can’t be changed to 5 cost. Not every game you will have the chance to play a spell like this on curve.
This is… pretty bad.
Don’t like but maybe somethings can be done with it.. like, if you have an empty table on T9 you could do 2x voltaic burst + this to get 4 legendaries, (if for some reason you have penguins and wisps you could even make it 7 legendaries) but since they are random you could get bad legendaries or legendaries that are only good because of their Battlecry, etc… But anyway, in such a play, as long as you get one great legendary (ysera, LK, Al akir, etc) or two decent ones (Kalimos, grumble, King togwaggle, etc). the problem is that if get unlucky you could end up with Lorewalker Cho, Prince Keleseth, Tinkmaster overspark and Zola… Rating it 2/5 but maybe i’m missing something..
You cannot do crazy things with thrall dk,a basic totem and a single dire mole minion in your hand
Saying bloodlust is better is a weak argument,you can have bloodlust only in a deck with weak drops,so is very better try lucky for a strong board once,than try the lucky for you smorc twice:one in early/mid game and then with bloodlust
People are really down on this card, but…I’m not so sure. Shaman is getting a LOT of tools in this expansion to flood the board with tokens, and this turns those tokens into a board full of dangerous, usually fairly large minions. Yeah, a lot of Legendary minions get most of the value from their battlecry, but even if you’re turning your 1/1 Spark into a Captain Greenskin or Spiritsinger Umbra, a board full of that is a colossal upgrade. Don’t undersell the card too much, this is a powerful effect.
I agree with this. just wish it was something you could elecktra…. this with elektra just changed them twice doesn’t actually add anything
It in theory should work with Electra. Her effect is a battlecry, meaning it shouldn’t stop it from being casted twice, such as the example with Volcano; even if it kills her, it’s still casted twice
But there would be little point in doing so. The board of legendaries would just become a different board of legendaries. She works with Evolve because you upgrade all your minions by 2 steps, but this wouldn’t do that.
I never said it was good, just that it’d work xP regardless I’m ready for the memes that will come with it
Ah nevermind, I misunderstood what he grenga23 meant at first. I understand now
I agree its very good,but thats not the point
You cannot return well if you have thrall dk and some 1 drops,or you have bloodlust but didnt smorc enough,but with this card you can,you can do crazy things with anyminion
The idea is to recycle your weak minions,actually like science work lol
Wooow,its like a super-evolution
With the other evolve cards you must to have high costed minions,so isnt always you can do it
But with that is like you just “recycle” your cheap minions when youre out of hope,no matter its cost
I liked it,my favorite legendary spell rigth now,my favorite legendary is mechatun
It would have been good in even shaman if it costed 6…
Still waiting on the Druid spell. Hopefully it’ll give them more combo synergy, because I don’t think Druid has enough of that yet.
How about, “One mana: Summon three copies of a friendly minion, then fill your hand with Moonfires.”
I like the sarcasm lol. I’m excited to see what Druid has to offer as well, though, and I’m hoping it’s something else that has to do with treants. Even though that deck sounds mediocre compared to some of the ones now and the potential ones from this expansion, it looks like a ton of fun
Fun but won’t see play. Most legendaries rely on battlecries and are not worthy by their stats.
rip no synergy with Electra :/
It made it even more special cause is really like a legendary thing:you have just one copy of it
Can be comboed with Elektra? Check. Can be tutored with the 3/4 elemental that draws big spells? Check. Powerful effect? Nope. 🙁 What a huge letdown of legendary spell!!! Only application is Token Shaman, and by Turn 7 you should be killing your opponent with Bloodlust, not evolving them into random legendaries. And if you didn’t know, random legs are pretty bad on average. 0.5/5 stars, I don’t know if this or the Runespear are worse. Sorry for Shamans.
it doesn’t combo with elektra. they are 1 thing then another instantly…. Doesn’t trigger any effects just change. so you get to see good minions that then get taken away for bad ones
Technically it does combo (you see two changes) but you’re right, the effect is the same as triggering just once.
except the second set of minions will most likely be worse just to spite you
This card is pretty fun. Kinda like evolve. Obviously has to be played with firefly.
Most likely Hagatha deck.
4/5
Evolve is better than this card. By miles.
You are right, evolve has more usage and is better throughout the game, this one is pretty much useless until you have 9 or 10 mana.
But shaman can make their board sticky with that spell that gives deathrattle to basic totems.
Hard to say, will require lot of imagination from ladder players for this card to work as it obviously isn’t earlygame card.
I mean, maybe as like a last ditch effort. Shaman can summon a solid amount of small drops in one go for 3 mana with totems and stuff. So with solid rng you can turn the tide of the game. I’m leaning towards giving it a 3 but its gonna be a 2.5/5 due to its overall lack of playability.
