    Weak/5

  2. Nuzlock

    Member maelstrom portal?

    1. Grenga23

      peppridge farms remembers

  3. TheThreather

    So

    2x Snowfury giant
    2 x Spellstone
    2 x This (?)
    2x Some spelldamage
    22 x Bunch of other shaman/overload stuff
    Good Enough?

    1. Grenga23

      i was playing a hagatha control with snow furys, spells stones, and overload, felt about tier 1.5..... 7 mana make 4 8/8 was usually a win

    2. Wendigo

      I would add Acolyte of Pain to this deck

    its like a worst Maelstrom portal. =(

    Useful in some situations tho, like against odd paladin, but doesn't seem that good.

    The good thing is that it can be used in even shaman, a deck that lacks in area attacks (it only has hagatha and kalimos unless u get a lightning storm / volcano from hagatha), but i dont think it will remain a meta deck after the new expansion arrives (hope i'm wrong).

    1. EpicTroll

      Too bad 0 cost spells don't work in either odd or even decks :c

      1. MilesTegF

        I'm pretty sure they are considered Even.

        1. dub

          They are ;)

      2. Stonekeep

        0 is an even number, so it does work in Even Shaman.

  5. Whatever

    A decent and fast answer to small minions, specially paladin. Don´t forget the cards that are coming along this expansion and synergize pretty decently with this card.

    2 overload is very punishing.
    It's like an Arcane Explosion but worse, much worse.
    Maybe at 9 exact mana can give you the chance to combo Snowfury + Spirit + Spellstone if you hadnt still proc the combo, but there are lots of better choices.
    Even Shaman doesnt need this, you're damaging your own minions, and you're supposed to dominate the board.
    1.5/5 maybe in another meta can see play.

    1. Wendigo

      Why is it worse pay latter than pay now?
      If it is worse because it hurts your own minions, we must remember that Acolyte of Pain want to be hurt and on a control deck it doesn't even matter.

      On a side note this can be played to soft a strong board before a volcano for full clear and gives HP on Omega Mind play.

    Could be decent if Token Druid will be a strong meta force since clearing the wisps and the treants in the same turn was huge problem for control/non-aggro shaman (Shudderwock). It is also a useful pell for Bogshaper shenanigans, maybe could be used with Zap! in both Shudderwock and Overload shaman. You could go Bog + Zap! + Beakered Lightning + Lightning Bolt on Turn 8 to deal with the board, summon a 4/7 and draw thee essential combo pieces (+ make your giants cost 4 less in overload shaman!) .

  8. Wendigo

    With Acolyte this is a cycling plus 1 dmg to everything for 2 manas to be paid next round.
    Or a 2+2 mana 2 dmg to all with Thalnos (like consecration).
    Or Thunderhead + this for 1 dmg to all + 2 rush 1/1, and maybe an opponent aggro clean table.

    Not bad at all on a control deck.

    Overload spellstone can become a real thing... maybe.
