Turns out 4 mana 7-7’s are pretty good
These guys are just idiot-mode. No skill needed. Turn 4 or 3, and you have a 7/7. Sure, if I have mitigation ready, then MAYBE I’ll be fine, but let’s not pretend the overload is fair balancing. The opponent is going to have to blow all of their crystals and/or minions just to deal with the FWF, so overload schmoverload.
Blizzard straight up screwed the pooch on this one.
Great on paper – however the odds on it surviving long enough to actually be used seem to be quite slim; in essence this card basically forces your opponent to use some hard removal or big damage spell and overloads you for two.
When it survives it’s great, it can be a game winner – but as often as not you’re better off with a Fireguard Destroyer strangely.
I mean shure but now that bgh litterally curves right into killing this card…
But before BGH killed this card and you had mana to do other stuff
OK WHEN I SAID EERIE STATUE SHOULDVE BEEN BETTER THIS IS NOT WHAT I MEANT.
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK.
Interestingly, playing this on turn 4 leaves you with 3 mana on turn 5, which is enough for (1) rockbiter weapon + (2) windfury. Consider this further in that context that BGH will also have to wait to turn 5, which I guess changes things depending on who went first.
Running the Give Windfury spell, for the rare occasion of setting up 20 damage to face on turn 5:
Practical? No, not really.
Lulzy as f***. Yes.
I notice the slight delay to BGH by its 5 mana cost, which opens a mana window for a deck based around ancestors call and windfury with cards like YSharl Rage Unbounded, this card, Earth Elemental, Fel Reaver, etc for lulz in casual
Even without unblocking your mana crystals this card is worth 6,5 mana. Shaman Got buffed a lot and i like it. He will be playable finally
6 mana 7/7…….. shaman arena here i come
