![]() We’re also going to run with the evolve subtheme to take advantage of any leftover bodies that we might get from Stoneborn General, Overlord Drakuru, or Blighblood Berserkers. We’ve theory crafted 3 potential builds that can use this package of Shaman cards.įirst, consider diving head first into the Big Shaman theme, bringing in Vanndar Stormpike and forgoing all other sub-5 cost minions to get max value out of Prescience and From De Other Side. In that case, that’s a pretty sweet deal right there, advancing a Big Shaman win con in 2 ways: The taunt on the Ghostly Apparitions advances your gameplan of stalling the game out until you can stabilize on board enough to play the 5+ Mana minions you’ve tutored out of the deck. Suppose you trigger the secondary ability here both times. This card will get you 2 Mana 2/3 Ghostly Apparitions with the Undead minion type, which can matter for cards like Unliving Champion, or Invincible, for instance. There’s also the possibility to make use of the leftover reborn 3/1 body to evolve into a 9 or 10 drop. ![]() So while the 3 attack won’t be anything to write home about, plopping this down will buy you a good deal of time. Taunt and lifesteal make this a nightmare to trade into, and even with enough removal to clear the main body and the reborn one, the deathrattle effect still will hit for 3 twice and heal you for 6. That’s a lot of keywords for a single card, but they work together to become the stuff of nightmares for any board-based aggro deck. There’s obvious synergy with the other big cards revealed here, with Prescience loading up your hand with some beefy bois, getting get off reborn, lifesteal and deathrattle value, summon a minion from Overlord Drakuru. In Wild, at the very least, there is meme potential with getting Magtheridion and The Darkness out with this and getting their battlecries to awaken both copies when you play them out the turn after. The interaction of getting free dormant minion copies on board is interesting, but is there enough to build a deck around? In standard, there is Gangplank, Slimescale, and Pelican Divers, but outside of From De Other Side “synergy,” they might not be worth it. Minions that enter Dormant won’t attack, but they won’t die either! Sorry Drakuru, no double freebies for you ? Your copies are made from your hand from left to right until no more board spaces are available.īeware that Colossals will summon their appendages and take up potential board space from your other copies. Unfortunately, it won’t be some corruption-style aura effect that a cheeky Showstopper effect can silence off. We’ve gotten some clarification from the devs on the mechanics of this one:Īll the copies summoned die at the end of the effect trigger after having attacked. At 10 cost, it will take up your entire mana pool for the turn, though there are things you can do to play around that as a shaman. Obvious deathrattle/reborn synergy, as well as good with big minions in general. Once again, another big expensive card and a solid showy effect to go along with it. This card is doing much of the same work that Sylvanas and Insatiable Devourer are without having to run through the trouble of infusing first. ![]() Still, even if the Big Shaman archetype doesn’t catch on for Shaman, I expect this card, in particular, to find a home in Renathal Control Shaman lists. ![]() The only worry is that there will sometimes be late-game scenarios where the 6/8 stat line won’t be enough to get you any resurrections, but I’m hopeful those are few and far between. Even if it’s trading into a single big minion on the opponent’s side, that’s still a 2-for-1, with that 1 on your side being a big tough-to-kill minion. In the more likely scenario that it doesn’t survive, that’s still a complete flip of the board state. You’re looking at a 5-for-1 exchange on board. What a way to kick things off this card looks insane! The dream is that Drakuru takes out two of your opponent’s minions, resurrects them on your side, and survives combat somehow. If you missed our previous Warrior recap, you will find it here. We also have some dev clarifications on how they work. Today, we're recapping the four Shaman cards revealed by Gamespot.
