that's just great, no questions asked.
The only thing that might be a problem is getting enough spells for a Shaman deck (or at least some spelll generation). Other than that this is very flexible removal
If only Hallazeal was still around
I tried having fun once.
It was awful.
Sick single target removal. Not only Hex or bust now for Shamans. Too bad Hagatha and Kragwa are rotating out. Spell Shaman needs some love.

Good card for control shaman.
Can't remember the last time there was a very good control shaman deck.
A quasi-hard removal at a discounted cost?
Where do I sign
... seriously tho, this condition is laughable
Struggle with Heroic Galakrond's Awakening? I got your back :
More support for control-focused Shaman Decks. I like it!

A Flame Lance, but with an upside. This card might fit into Control Shaman, but this archetype would need more support to make a comeback.
Looks good on paper, but these cards that you need to "prepare" are usually not very popular in the meta. We'll see
Great card, but i wonder how many big minions there will be. If there are not that many big minions in the meta, this might not get played.
RNG is only fun as long as there is a 50/50 chance of getting something really good or trash level of bad. If RNG always results in something good, then it's not fun.
If your deck is spell heavy easy to fulfill condition, but probably overkills almost every target, at least you don't overload for 3..
nice big minion removal which can cost very little. probably a nice card to include in control sham decks.
Really strong spell and it will cost 2 mana 80% of the time. Shaman is so balance as always
Perfect against the large beefy guys of this expansion.
So if you don't discount, it's just Flame Lance. It's pretty good if you discount it, but this is a reactive card that you have to set up on the prior turn. How are you gonna react to something the turn before your oppponent plays it?
Too bad Zentimo is rotating.
Will make the list as a single target removal. Zentimo like to meet you in wild.
A cheaper Flame Lance, for a class that might actually care to have a large single-target removal (does the Shaman even have any, besides Hex?). It's all going to come down to your timing ability.
This is a potentially very dangerous card. the Crushing Fist saw tons of play, and this doesn't have the draw back of overload, just a spell tempo.
However, you'll want to make sure you're not too overloaded to play this spell, since most of Shaman's other spells have that overload cost on them
Fist without overload is likely to be acceptable in most cases. New option to consider in any slow shaman decks.
This post is discussing the wild format.
So it's Crushing Hand but you pay the Overload up front, or not at all. It's okay, I guess.

I always imagined a card that's name Torrent as something like Explosive Shot which deals some damage to minion and lesser damage to adjacent ones. This one busted me.
Unpopular Opinion Incarnate
I don't imagine it should be very hard to cast this for 2 the majority of the time. Even when you do have to play this for 5 mana, it isn't much worse than Assassinate.
Also this is a 5 cost card that you can play for 2, which is useful for Spirit of the Frog.
Carrion, my wayward grub.
This is gonna see some play, since it’s so easy to pull off the condition. Helps a lot to kill whatever big minions your opponent cheats out
Who needs consistency when you could have fun?
Very solid removal even without taking the cost reduction into account!
This is powerful and can deal with the big dragons
