Shadow Suffusion

On one hand, this is better than something like the 3/1 for DH which had the same effect, but it’s not so much better that it makes me think that it will become a stable for the class. 3 damage to a random enemy just isn’t that good, exceptionally so when the control decks can now spawn boards of minion which can easily such up all the damage. What does make this seem pretty nice though is the fact that it doesn’t cost much and that it’s a fine payoff for a token deck, such as undead shaman. Even though I don’t think it will be played in any other deck (even murloc shaman would much rather play a warleader or a bloodlust, which are more reliable), undead shaman might be able to make this the proper payoff for building a token board. But is that payoff going to be enough? Probably not, which is what makes me doubt that the deck will find a place in the meta: a 3 mana card which does nothing when you play it and which has the only expressed intent of doing some damage to the enemies (which will not be enough to kill the enemy hero because right now all control decks have 40 hp to start with) doesn’t strike me as the big payoff that deck needs.
