They gave shaman a quest-line that requires Overload cards, then last year's expansions included 3 cards with Overload (and no other Overload synergy). Now the quest-line will leave standard, as well as the synergy cards from that year - Charged Call, Investment Opportunity, Overdraft - and they make Overload the theme for the next expansion. Were they worried an Overload deck would be too strong?

I guess there's basically no chance of seeing Circle of Healing back in standard because that would be completely nuts with all these overheal cards.

Idol's Adoration seems like one really powerful weapon. If hero cards are printed within the next two years, Im 100% sure this card would be busted as hell.

As for the others, Im not too sure. Seems a lot of cards for a board based priest but unless Radiant Elemental returns to standard, Im not exactly sure it'll work out. At least team5 is aware of the only two archetypes of board priest, which is naga and undead, hence the tribal associations.

Quick idea for DK, but gosh am I just bad at AI art or what?

They see me bouncin' they hatin'

When I saw Freebird I knew they will print some new bouncing cards. But who cares about Freebird when you have Astalor, the Flamebringer?

Its the kind of build-around card because standalone its way too self-destructive. You'll never play this card unless you're 100% sure you're not screwing yourself over.

But fortunately, there is indeed a good way to play this. Play your discard support, and chances are good you'll burn away a good 8 cards, destroy your opponent's board, and pressure them into having an answer or die.

If nothing else, the sheer number of cards being removed will almost certainly counter any combo deck available. You can easily fit this into ETC and bring it out when convenient. Either way, I definitely think this will see play, the only question is how well.

Its not a card you'd ever play on curve, because that's just plain impossible.

But as a tracking for spells? Not that bad honestly. At least you'd get something out for being overloaded, not that this card is all that great.

Guess it playable, but not outside of an overload deck, which will likely be tier 3 at best.

Great card to discover, but you'll never put this in your deck.

Too expensive, too inconsistent, screws your next turn, and its glacier-paced. Most decks would already be prepared to destroy you on turn 7 and here you are playing a card that will neither reliably prevents nor pressures against it.

Unless its cheated out via Barbaric Sorceress, its just a poor card. Even cheated out, there's still the 2 overload to consider.

It kinda reminds me of Snowfury Giant, in that the whole point is building up to one final act.

Overload is a poor keyword. But if it charges this hard enough, you might just be able to play Criminal Lineup for free on a spell damage minion and just go completely ham.

Ive no doubt this card is powerful. But can playing all those bs cards really be offset by its power? That, Im not so sure.

The one card that makes overload a good thing, more so than Inzah.

Play an overload card, and then this cost 2 on the same turn. The only downside is that youre overloaded for next turn, but at least this will likely relief some pressure and heal at the same time.

Even if all the overload cards flop this expansion, this is one card I think will be viable for a good long time.

This card feels like the trials of hercules honestly. Like The Stonewright, a powerful card but supporting a keyword that everyone acknowledges is shit.

Let's be honest here, overload is a shit keyword that is only played because shaman players dont really have much choice. Time and time again it has proven to screw more often than support. And here comes a card that makes it slightly better - reducing their card cost by 1, at turn 5 no less.

So, let's not be so negative. What's this card technically going to be doing? Best thing is actually giving you 0 mana Lightning Bolt. The OTK potential is strong, more so if Overdraft is back in core, or if Instructor Fireheart makes it back.

This also makes Criminal Lineup easier to play, and does allow Pack the House to be available immediately on curve after turn 5.

But if Ive got to be honest. If you're playing a bunch of overload cards in your deck, then chances are good you'll not be able to play this on turn 5. Fingers crossed overdraft or Lava Shock is back on core, otherwise this entire archetype will flop harder than flip.

You need this to get more combo cards but its statline is unimpressive, and bouncing this back in hand is equally as unimpressive a play. Dont understand why this couldn't just be a 3/1 one drop, then at very least its not as painful to repeatedly bounce it.

As it stands, this card on 2 isn't good, and rogue has always prioritize drawing over generating, so where does this card even start?

It'll see play if combo rogue sees play, but its definitely the 29th card of that deck.

I dont think there's enough combo cards to make this worth the pain of building around it.

Perhaps Whirlkick Master is back in core, which will absolutely be an engine for a certain tempo combo rogue deck. This card being in there would simply be a no brainer.

But in absence of such a card, (and arguably even with it) I have definitely doubts ever seeing rogue dropping draka or Sinstone Graveyard, so this card might simply be redundant.

The intention is obviously to combo with Rhyme Spinner, who will absolutely build a massive minion for 1 mana.

Unfortunately, Im not entirely sure if this will see play. If there is a minion that gives coin as a battlecry then sure, but otherwise, this is just a redundant Shadowstep. You cant fit so many of the same cards in your deck but unless you can draw endlessly, and with edwin and Mailbox Dancer rotating, Im just not seeing it.

There's also a chance we'll see combo rogue with focus on board, but Im doubtful it'll ever dislodge the usual sinstone + draka miracle deck, which really dont need this (unless shadowstep isnt in core).

The most obvious use of this card is fuel for Sinstone Graveyard or draka. If there is any minion that dispenses coin as a battlecry, you'd likely be able to OTK your opponent by turn 5-6 fairly reliably.

But Ive no doubt this will see play, its just too useful. Basically, any useful or impactful battlecry minion on board cannot now be ignored because this card will simply wreck you the following turn. Reminds me a little of Potion of Illusion and this card cost 1 less.

In fact, as an absolute last option. You can just prep this into Astalor, the Flamebringer for 28 damage. Just one in a million good uses for a card like this.

Oh boy, a Tiny Toys replacement!... That's more expensive!... And probably not that powerful to evolve off of...

This card is terrible, isn't it.

That's not a bad tool to have when you're overloading yourself.

Just like Inzah (the legendary of the set) I'm gonna have to say this lives and dies off of the Core Set, hard to see what it's discounting by/for when the last year has been an Overload drought.

Seems like a good tutor for Altered Chord. There are a few cards that encourage overloading a bunch, so maybe this won't be too hard to activate.

Gonna need to discount a lot more than Lightning Bolts to make it worth it, and unfortunate that he seems to live or die entirely on what the Core Set brings.
