    We shouldn’t underestimate the power of this card: the highroll potential is crazy high. Sure, it does cost a lot of mana, but I am sure there will be ways to circumvent that, and don’t forget that the quest is still in standard. In the late game, you can setup an easy 20 damage combo with three cards thanks to the effect of Brukan, the 1 mana minion with spell damage and a lightning bolt.
    Sure, cards like this aren’t really played in decks which can’t use them for some degenerate combo, but this one in particular could also function as a one-off threat if you play some deck which manages to summon big minions in the midgame to late game: I’m thinking Quest Shaman, Totem Shaman with the new Giant, Evolve Shaman as well… Although I wouldn’t put my money on that, I can totally see that happening: using this as a sort of tech card to catch the enemy off guard if they think you don’t have a followup after having summoned a big minion. That being said, in a meta where the 6 mana 5/5 which gives windfury exists, it’s foolish to not expect a followup to a big minion, and that 6 mana is way better than this because instead of creating a big board it simply ends the game. I like this card a lot, but I can’t deny that it probably will see little play until a specific combo using it won’t come out of the community.

    What’s that? 1 Gigantotem is too weak? Well how ’bout 4?

    A endgame card?

    Maybe you have a 10/10 slugg out and you wanna copy.

    Or in evolve shaman if you highrolled a minion or for the totem giant.

    Idk in which deck this can fit, It´s very special but can be very sick.

    3/5
