I was going to do a whole breakdown of every type of effect you could get out of this totem, but after going through 3 pages and realizing I wasn't halfway there, I gave up hope of finishing that. Most the effects are fine, plenty of good hits like all the secrets, card draw, tools to generate value, a ton of removal, and a few literal worthless cards. Overall, the card seems definitely more of a meme given that it will just kill itself a 20-30% of the time, but there's no way that is going to stop me from jamming two copies into Totem Shaman in hopes the stars align and I can make someone uninstall from being demolished by mountains upon mountains of RNG.
Mage nowdays won't play for the board, and 1 dmg to everything won't clear much. Could be useful on Shaman if you try the +spell damage route, but then, you can't rely on the whole evolve mechanic. I think it's another no-go legendary.
I appreciate the knowledge. What about FireSide Gatherings though? If I host one at my house for just myself (because of Covid-19), will I only be able to open packs or will I be able to play online in a specific tavern brawl or something? I don't want to host one JUST to open my packs, you know? Lol.
Math isn't very good in this one. Lots of bad 5 drops, also many with Battlecries (won't trigger, as usual), and one of them dies to ping, usually you will put it on the weaker one. Attaching everything to 2/1 body won't help that much, unless you can keep making copies of it in hand with some Rogue shenaningans.
New Paladin Minion - Goody Two-Shields
I think it will be instant aggro target because opponent does not want this going off twice.
New Paladin & Priest Spell - Wave of Apathy
Good for Priest in wild to destroy all minions
New Paladin Spell - First Day of School
Good for triggering spellburst
New Mage & Shaman Minion - Ras Frostwhisper
What spell damage have shaman? Just Lady Vashj? The totem?
Mage have more SD, but have better aoe cards too...
New Mage Minion - Firebrand
Mage won't play much for the board nowadays, but could use a mini Reno. Triggering it won't be much of a problem.
New Paladin Minion - Goody Two-Shields
This is gonna have a lot of use
New Shaman Spell - Molten Blast
Not good. Serpentshrine Portal is just way better and it doesn't need a Set Up.
New Paladin Spell - Blessing of Authority
Lovely card... I think it might be too slow
New Paladin Minion - Argent Braggart
Cool card. I like the idea of not targeting!

New Paladin & Priest Minion - Devout Pupil
Awesome useful card
New Mage Minion - Firebrand
Can you hear It? Is Highlander mage orgasming
New Paladin & Priest Minion - High Abbess Alura
Love it and it's presentation video. Too bad I'm not playing Priest nor Paladin any more

New Paladin Minion - Turalyon, the Tenured
I've waiting for a Turalyon card since Beta. I don't love what he ended up being
New Mage & Shaman Spell - Primordial Studies
Hell this is going to be used in Mage...
Scholomance Academy Fireside Gatherings & Pre-Release Event This Weekend - Opening Your Packs Early
I appreciate the knowledge. What about FireSide Gatherings though?

New Mage Minion - Lab Partner
A 1 1/3 is always good
New Mage Minion - Firebrand
It's a good control card. Not as flamewaker but still
New Mage Minion - Wyrm Weaver
Totally agree.
New Mage & Rogue Spell - Brain Freeze
Like the idea, flavour and art!
New Mage & Rogue Minion - Jandice Barov
Math isn't very good in this one. Lots of bad 5 drops, also many with Battlecries (won't trigger, as usual), and one of them dies to ping, usually you will put it on the weaker one.

New Mage Spell - Cram Session
Could be good... IDK
New Shaman Minion - Totem Goliath
I thought I'd never see the Day, but Totem Shaman might actually become a serious Deck.
Splitting Axe, Totemic Reflection, Totemic Surge, and now this! These few Cards are Everything that Totem Shaman always wanted/needed.
New Mage & Shaman Minion - Trick Totem
As good as Reno without the Poof
