The "new Sivara" should discount cards with the nature buff. Also "cast a 7 mana spell so a minion in your hand gets the ability to draw 2 cards" is weird. I guess they really were scared of Shudderblock interacting with her battlecry and creating a monster...

Regis kinda forgot shaman is going to be able to cast DH spells too which are of different schools

if DK could get that Sham 3 cost frozen elemental early then i think shredder works in some sort of unheard "frost" DK. lol

We got a 5 star from Regis watch out

Cookie is 3 mana Kelthuzad

Absolutely disagree on caress. It’s just consistent, you’ll see this on every shaman deck with 2 spells in it, at worst it’s a 5 mana 5/5 deal 6 damage face. How is this not a 5 star card? Edit : same with matching outfits. The evolve mechanic is unreliable, yes, but generally speaking a powerful 3 drop is as powerful as a random 4 drop (worst case scenario), and this card is basically doubling your board. Say you got a 6 mana worth board, you’re doubling for 4 mana. I’m not even considering the implications of synergies like low stats minions with powerful battlecries. (The perma-frozen taunt is an exceptional candidate for stalling one turn and evolving into a double 4 mana not-frozen minions)

Does Cookie count for himself too?

Suppose I'll remind, for the Shaman tourist... DK would have access to Shaman's Volcanic drink, which was a fire spell, and revealed in the first batch.

To the dev who decided Matching Outfits was a good choice: go kick rocks for the next month. What a terrible card. 1 star.

i really want to play hearthstone from time to time again now but it feels too slow now for me...I hope there is a turbo mode, faster animations, shorter turns etc

If you use Matching Outfits on Reska, you get two Reskas since they're the only 20 cost minion. Also works on Chained Guardian. Some good synergy in DK but I'm still not sure if it makes the cut

Meltemental looks like a sweet body to get doubled from Therazane. Hope it sees play

I think the flavor behind Meltemental is that since it's a melting ice elemental, when it's no longer frozen it dies.

Shaman feels so disjointed, both with Shaman and with the Death Knight they can "tour" in to.

I feel like the. Ormal shaman schools with rhe new Naga will be cool with matching outfit

Honestly, the design flavor in this set seems pretty not great. I stopped playing prior to the last rotation, but this set seems just not well balanced or considered.

Lets not forget that rogue still has that card floating around that gives them a random pirate and elemental from other classes. There are enough pirates and elementals in this set that will really shake up the possibilities for that card.

When I first read Razzle I thought it was 5/5s then I realised it was 5 costs which are often worse

Siren song should give you snake oil if you’ve cast all of the schools already, Naga based card, so flavorful

Chained guardian, the 8/5 reborn rusher, is the only 11 cost minion i think

The benefit of getting demon hunter cards includes you get access to fel spells

I like the concept of the naga legendary, but it does feel lacking. It almost feels like it could just have all the effects for each school cast instead of just 2, or at least the last two schools so you still have some control (like that one mage legendary that was also kinda weak).

Natural talent just there to dilute the pool for nature shaman discovers :'(

So an example as to why this Shaman package is sooo bad.You have to do multiple turns of work then spend say 7 mana to fiill the board then Warrior just plays Badlands and wipes all your work with one easy card. To be actually good in todays game your cards need to be able to react to the board AND do face damage or a combination of USEFUL things that are more than just putting minions on board.

I'm waiting for trolden to post Razzle Dazzler summoning 6 Leeroys

Spell School shaman might become my new favorite mediocre deck this expansion

This set seems very weak

Regis is so mean. Buttons Knight seems so fun

Another issue with Siren Song that wasn't mentioned is that if you play it early in the game before having played any of the spell schools that you're naturally running in your deck, Siren Song could end up generating spells of those schools which means it won't even really contribute to expanding your list of spell schools that you've cast this game which is what i imagine you're running the card for. Unless it potentially creating more fire/frost/nature spells actually turns out to be a benefit as they might have a higher power level and synergy on average in whatever Shaman deck you're running this in compared to the more niche spell schools like Fel or Shadow (within the context of the Shaman class). But i have to imagine there's better options if you want to discover more spells. Especially if you're looking for Shaman specific spells. And for Matching Outfits i think that card could be salvaged if it was given the Discover effect.

You know? If they gave DK a shadow spell maybe Buttons could’ve worked but with these spells that battlecry sure is disappointing. Honestly maybe Shaman could’ve gotten a shadow spell like you were suggesting. Then Shaman itself could have a way to play all spell schools without siren song. Wish upon a star is Arcane, watcher of the sun has proven itself as a good card and gives you a holy spell, and obviously demon hunter tourist should grant the class access to Fel. Shadow is the only school missing but who knows, demon hunter has gotten a few shadow spells before, maybe they just hate DK for some reason

Poor shaman

Isn’t carass a better concoction?

Buttons is a mistake, ouch.

I suspect that with Demon Hunter cards added in shaman will pretty reliably be able to get Fel and Shadow spells which can make Carress more interesting. No idea what those cards are yet but demon hunter spells are typically shadow and fel spell schools.

I think Matching Outfits is only playable as a kind of "we have Hex at home." You defuse some nasty creature of your opponent's, then whatever it transforms into, whether a low or high roll, you also get a copy of. Hex is probably still better but it can be an alright discover

The cards seem fun for shaman…that doesn’t mean they are good or will work

EVOLVE EVOLVE EVOLVE EVOLVE

both shaman and deathnight will turn their heads away from these cards.

moving from Cookie over to Matching Outfits is too funny. Want to trade and evolve your whole board for 3 mana or perhaps pay 4 to evolve one creature?

I feel like 2 stars is a little high for a couple of these

matching outfits does have a home as a counter to hand buff, since it says minion and not friendly minion

Is leeroy 5mana? Razzle dazzler meta inc

Possibly the worst set of cards ive seen in a while... im sorry DKs, thats what we shaman players have to endure each exp.

I know design space has limit but somehow this batch of card felt too much like old mechanism with copy pasta or just too generic...

Meltemental is huge powercreep over Unpowered Steambot! 3/8 for 3 versus 4 0/7 for 4?! ele-mental!

Buttons might be the worst tourist. He can grab max 4 spells bc DK only has Frost & Shadow and there’s 1 Fire and 1 Nature spell from Shaman.

there's no way that horizon's edge doesn't see play; even if it's slow, 15 burn damage for 4 mana is a psychotic rate

You gotta remember that you don’t have to run Carress in rainbow. I plan on running her in my freeze-burn DK with only Frost, Fire, and Shadow spells which (with some freeze synergy) are all good options.

If Matching Outfits allowed you to discover a minion and then transform, it would be so much better.

I don’t get carress at all, it feels like it could have the effect without the limit to two effects and still be mid.
