I am almost certain, that this will replace Maelstrom Portal in even shaman. The battlecry also offers some quest synergies. The card is already good, but Vessina makes it even better.
even shaman gonna be insane in wild
It doesn't synergize with the spellpower totem plus it overloads you for one the next turn.
In return you get to deal 1 damage guaranteed without being interrupted by Never Surrender! and you get a slightly better minion on average (I think?).
I'm honestly not sure which one of these is better. They seem pretty on par to me. Will be interesting to see which card turns out to be better.
Edit: I think this card will go into the lists that run Thunderhead and Maelstrom Portal will go into the slower, non-Thunderhead lists.
Yes, I was aware of that, I just thought that the 2/2 body would be good enough, but I admit I could be wrong.
Yeah that would mostly depend on what the average stat-line in wild is for 1-drops. I'm guessing 2-2 is slightly above average, which is why I think both cards are about equal in strength.
Very good card for shaman in standard. Shaman gets annoyed by lackeys and 1/1 deathrattle tokens from snipsnap and soul of the murloc. Most of its clears are expensive and powerful but you dont want to eat that little bits of chip damage.
It also has quest/quest, elemental, overload synergies. very playable card.
Lots of synergy here for Shaman. Overall a good and balanced card.

earlygame removal and a solid body PLUS Shudderwock synergy. Shaman says thanks!
I had an overthought about it since I like shaman class a lot.
Ill say it will find a spot with Thunderhead together in a deck, 99% of the time.
The overload is just here to boost overload synergy, and if that’s not enough for you, there is also elemental tag that can boost Elementary Reaction and Earthen Might bonus. So...
This card is gonna scale better than Maelstrom because it supports shaman in almost everything except spell damage. Do not run aelstrom anymore in Thunderhead deck.
