It's decent enough if Shaman has ways to get on the board early. I don't really see it as a massive Evolve enabler. If you just keep two minions on the board and then drop this you're probably getting decent enough tempo out of it.

It's not amazing but Shaman can't exactly be picky these days

yeah except noone is going to let you just play Desert Hare on 3 and not just remove the 3 1/1s

Honestly probably one of the more balanced Evolve cards. Bogstrok is strong, sure, but he requires at least two minions on the board (preferably ones that aren't just 1-drops), so he's simple to play around.

Same goes for Boggspine. You're spending 5-mana for a 4/2 weapon. If you don't have a board at that point then you basically did nothing for a turn (or wasted a weapon charge). It's also countered by weapon removal if you just set it up for your next turn.

Sure, Desert Hare might come back, but realistically speaking, what's the worst that could happen? 2-4 drops on turn 6 with Bogstrok?

The absolute dream would ofc be turn 5 Boggspine into turn 6 double Hare, but that's not only slow but also very unlikely.

Mogu Fleshshaper was already nerfed so it's not like it's suddenly going to return and ruin your day (unless there's somehow 9 minions on the board by turn 3 or 5).

MCT has also left the building, so Quest Shaman, if it even manages to return will nowhere be near as strong, so no worrying about that.

Galakrond Shaman is also probably never making a return unless they buff it again.

Overall Shaman has got NOTHING right now, and this doesn't seem powerful enough to make them tier 1 again all of a sudden.

I mean, I sure hope the Demon Hunter has a classic set.

Hail mary for an aggro deck?  Not sure if it'll work.

I like this one because it'll get players to think more about board positioning, increasing the skill cap.

This can function as a board clear or the opponent will have to take it to the face - their choice.  Whether it'll work will depend on which archetype ends up being successful for DHs.

Kinda have to scroll towards the bottom to find the schedule. It's only 8 days of card reveals :O

The second chalkboard is just the Galakrond's Awakening bosses The Slipstream and The Wanderer photoshopped poorly together with an explosion. And it will probably not be more than a recreation of that, with their decks and Prepare the Cannons! Hero Power. Kael'thas had his left arm drawn over, but the Brawl itself looks a lot more interesting. It's only a tiny problem, no one spends more than 10 seconds at this screen, but I still miss awesome original art like Showdown at Blackrock Mountain.

You could OTK with five or six cards. Or just one.

Truly a masterpiece!

I feel you man. I hate evolve mechanic. I think everyone who played while they re-introduced 1-mana Evolve into Standard can understand why.

First, it can get "little" oppressive.. And secondly - it's constant dice rolling. You can't predict it, you can't plan for it and, probably most important - you can't play around it.

So yes - Evolve can be fun if you play it, but it's not fun to play against, because opponent can highroll so much, that you instantly lose (and feel hopeless).

The problem is when the Demons you get cost too much mana.

As an Aggro, Zoo is low curve, it can't afford expensive minions, except in a last stand where anything else already failed.

I think it's all about how the cards look aesthetically now. Clacker as is has a fairly squared off text box that's nice to look at.

We've also seen in the past clarifying words are removed to make a card's text fit in the box in a neat manner, Clockwork Goblin and Wrenchcalibur.

Soo shaman + evolve stuff has generally been strong, just look at the Doom in the tomb event where Evolve shaman dominated the meta. And now we get a weapon that does exactly the same as Evolve but 2 times, allowing you to Desert Hare turn 3, [Hearthstone Card (Boggspine Knuckles[Hearthstone Card (turn 4 to evolve the Desert Hares, and then play something turn 5 to evolve again. (And if the random 4 drops evolved from Desert Hare stay alive, then you get a bunch of 5 drops.) 

Also Bogstrok Clacker is pretty good, if it's going to be a more control meta (please blizzard not more aggrostone) because control decks will leave less minions alive. 

thanks so much!

Very good card.

Not on OOC (yet ?). But on official HS website - yes, there is reveal schedule.

Go into official HS website, click Cards -> Card Library.  There you have it. Probably displayed in your local time, at least it works that way for me.

My first thought when I saw them:

sry couldn't find better video clip

Is there a reveal schedule?  I dont see one on the website this time.

Oh absolutely - I recreated the card to add to our database - but in that case why didn't they just change Bogstrok Clacker to be consistent with that?

I mean, in reality it doesn't matter at all, but still =P

CRAAAAB PEOPLE CRAAAAB PEOPLE TASTE LIKE CRAB TALK LIKE PEOPLE CRAAAAB PEOPLE CRAAAAB PEOPLE

Again? Desert hare is still in rotation.. 

Edit: saw some streamers underestimating this.. I think this is a sleeper.
