Why is charge no longer in any of the new expansions.? Charge was so much better than rush, 3/5 overall but I can’t think of any deck to put it in
Tuscarora87
They don't want us to go face. Sad.
Spidermannerdlikeme
Indeed my boi
Spidermannerdlikeme
Very sad

100% agree with Lanakias comment. Charge is op
lanakias
Because "Charge" is a strong text (perhaps the stronger of the game) and any card with change is good.. Even the bad ones. Aggro decks have 70% lethal with lerroy.. Mindrange hunter kill you with full charge board at the momment too.. Imagine this card to has charge.. Is a very strong text and they dont want to create another broken charge cards and in my opinion that is a good call..
Spidermannerdlikeme
But seriously I loved smashing face with a giant minion, it was so satisfying, haven’t seen a charge minion out of basic/classic besides King Krush

Can’t believe I was able to comment first, such luck

Why is the image so fuzzy?

Man Crupt the waters Synergy. Think Hero Power+This Card. Auto Include in battlecry shaman
Taznak
Pretty powerful, very versatile. 5/5
Feitonghofei
A really strong and flexible card that can easily fit into any control or value deck
Rush + Windfury = walking fountain with more attack but no lifesteal, enough to kill two 5-cost minion
Rush + Divine Shield = kill a 6-health minion and leave a 6/6/ body, simply a better blazecaller without precondition or a weaker Shirvallah without lifesteal
Rush + Taunt = kill a mid-size minion and leave a taunt (usually 6/3 or 6/2) behind, still acceptable
Taunt+ Divine Shield = Paladin's A New Challenger, a big taunt stalling opponent's attack
The flexibility of having the above four options is enough to make it a strong play at turn 7
TheTallRonan
Don’t forget — if your opponent ISN’T putting enough pressure, you can drop a 6/6 Divine Shield Windfury that they have to somehow deal with or promptly get smorked to death
Feitonghofei
Absolutely. I focused on my four examples simply because they give instant impact to the board.
Spidermannerdlikeme
You forgot windfury with divine shield or taunt

A certain inclusion to any deck. Versatility is OP.
LorereaderPoCho
Although not quite Zilliax prolific I think we'll see a lot of this neutral legendary. Also I like that it's a Djinn.
Davis The Savage
This seems like a decent card, with lots of versatility, but I can't really think of any specific deck this would want to be played in - I think this wants to be played in a slower defensive deck, as it seems like a good removal option with rush, or a defensive option with taunt; but I believe the control decks have better class-card options that do similar things, so again i'm not really sure if this will find a home
captainpwn
Auto Golden Craft.
This will be in many decks!! 100% will be in a few meta decks.
THJester
Now if only there was a class or deck archetype centered around battlecries this next expansion. Maybe a quest that centers around battlecries? And maybe a card that, I don't know, copies the battlecry of every minion played prior.
But yeah even past shudderwock shaman shenanigans, a 6/6 windfury rush is already a nuts card. The extra versatility of divine shield or taunt is just an added bonus for more situations. So many other classes can combo it with additional synergy. The new 1 mana card Embalming ritual in priest makes this card able to deal up to 18 damage to minions in one turn. Lightforged blessing turns this into 12 damages of lifesteal. Spirit of the shark gives it all 4 effects, and shadowstep/waggle pick allow you to play it a second time for 5 mana. On turn 10 warrior can play this, get rush with one other effect, and after doing damage can use Bloowsworn mercenary to summon a second one.
This card isn't Zilliax good, and 7 mana might be too steep for many decks, but it is a very good card. 4/5.
DannyN
For the embalming ritual, I'm wondering if the reborn Siamat would even keep it's buffs since it's not printed on the card originally, but given as a battlecry... The Bloodsworn combo should work though since it's just summoning a copy of something already modified on the field. Reborns probably don't work that way though.
THJester
You are completely right on the reborn not keeping the buffs. Still adjusting to the new mechanics.
Ecajnoxid
I really like this card, it's versatile, and will be great in the mid-to-late game. As others have said, I'm not sure exactly where it'll fit, but I think it will be a common card on the ladder.

Why no link to the reveal video?

my jaw that bites, my claws that catch (your choice)
Haki
This is great for Shaman’s new quest. When it’s completed, you can get all 4 for 9-mana
Xix
6-6 al'akir that cant go face? XD
Haki
Haha yeah pretty much, a defensive Al’Akir. Though it’s a 6/ 6 compared to Al’Akirs 3/ 5.
LunarBahamut
Not like an Al'Akir that can't go face at all. Al'Akir is 8 mana for a 3/5, this would become a 6/6 for one less mana, and one mana is a lot.
Xix
It's 9 mana if you count the hero power for double battle cry.
LunarBahamut
I didn't count the hero power, but you're right. I just generally tend to not count hero powers like that, or Rexxar and doctor booms mech generating, towards the cost of the card. But I suppose this is different because you are only adding a battlecry and not an entire card to your hand.
Deathcoilek
yeah this is auto craft, same too zilliax but no life steal :D
LuKeAA
Wait, only two wishes?!
What a rip-off of a Genie.
4.5/5
LorereaderPoCho
lol it took me a minute but I had the same thought, I had to deduct part of a point lol
Dynasty
yip rip off genie suppose to be 3 wishes. 0/5.
LunarBahamut
This card is really good, will definitely see play in the new highlander/one of decks if those are a thing, for 7 mana you can potentially do 6 damage to 2 minions, or 6 to one and be left with a 6/6.
Needless to say that the rush option is what makes the card good, rush is often like a better version of taunt because you direct the attack. The only time taunt will be taken over rush is if you are against an empty board and you're afraid of a Leroy to the face. Or a King Krush from the new Hunter legendary, which also comes down on 7.
Tricklas
This card is insane. Sunwalker is okay (not played now but you would be happy getting it when getting a random card). This card coukld be +2/+1 for 1 mana more which is much better. Then u have flexibility and can rush with divine shild which is really awesome. Sees play in many decks. Slithly better then Zilliax imo
5/5
Lluadian
Oooooooh new toy for battlecry shaman. Play this turn 9 after quest for big value. This can also help out when do a drop of Shudderwock since it could give him rush to have impact turn summoned.
xopods
Zilliax 2.0
ReliusRemyRezar
Well more bs for shaman to play around, and maybe will have the zilliax effect, not so sure since lack of lifesteal+Taunt if you go for the combo of rush+shield.
EksSkellybur
Ladies and Gentlemen, We have an Elemental Zilliax! :D
Instantly 5 Stars, and A Hilarious card for Shudderwock.
Jed
I say at 7 mana this isn’t nearly as good as zilliax, but it’s still a great card
OldManSanns
Does anyone know if this will combo with Druid quest?
JustYourAveragePayToWin
It will not. It does not read “choose one.”
JustYourAveragePayToWin
Great, another card for my Control Shudderwock deck. Though, this fits pretty much anywhere. 5/5
Areas
4.5/5. This card cannot compare to zilliax in that it lacks the versatility that zilliax has, but in decks that synergizes with it such as elemental decks, or battlecry shaman, this could be great.
sonriks6
This would be my first legendary to craft if I don't get it in the packs (or any of the Quests are really broken when live)
Gralabugun66
"Shudderwock makes toys out of Siamat!"
TheFox13
this card seems to be the new lich king. just powerful neutral legendary you can put in midrange as high curve card and in control deck
SmooveAsButta2
Check out my account for some theory crafted decks and let me know what you think! thanks!
irishkid200
Firelands portal dealt 5 and left on average a 5/5. When you pick Rush and Divine Shield, you deal 6 and get a 6/6. Firelands Portal was insanely good, this is strictly better. That's not even considering the versatility of this. 5/5
nohalt
The great thing about this card is you don't have to use it defensively, you can just divine shield windfury this and you've made a huge threat of 12 damage. It's clearly busted.
Unvoid564
The best options are:
Rush + divine shield (5/5 alone)
Rush + windfury
Divine shield + taunt
Flexibility is obviously what gives this card its power.
Pseudo
Divine shield and windfury was used more than divine + taunt. Most people either used siamat to clear one huge minion or set a huge threat on the board. It's really fun just playing him.
DeadlyBlinke
Powerful and flexible card a true legendary 5/5 stars.
