Let's say you have the dream draw and play Stonewright on turn 4, then Macaw on turn 5, then this on turn 6; you'll get two 4/2's to use on turn 7. Compared to what other decks can put on the board, that's not all that great. And this is the dream scenario: if you don't draw Stonewright and Macaw, it's going to look much worse.

Apart from the problem of not drawing Stonewright, there is also the question what you're going to play on turns 1-3. You can't snowball if you fall behind on board and unbuffed totems are statted worse than murlocs, mechs or beasts. If Stonewright had a start-of-game effect, it could work, but as a battlecry it just comes in too late and too inconsistently.

The handbuff Paladin deck was super enjoyable. Thanks for the deck listings!

Unfortunately no miniset card fits the archetype... There is some deathrattle synergy, but just the wrong kind which doesn't work with the deck at all

Well true... But for evolc it is even worse because it is end od turn effect not battlecry 

Lol

Just more support for totem shaman. Yes it might be crap, but because of cards like these you can actually build a deck around totems and expect it to be around tier 2-3, which is saying alot given how terrible certain decks can actually get.

The fact that you can use Amalgam of the Deep to get more of this at a decent consistency makes it more interesting. All we need now is a reason to believe that totems can actually survive past the turn theyre played, and hey that may actually come true in the next 1.5 years. So here's to hoping.

But for now, if you want to win just play murlocs. Clownfish does the same, and better.

For evolve fodder, you'd want a battlecry instead of an end-of-turn effect.

I dont hate it. But at the same time I just dont think there's enough reasons to run this card, aside from the fact that you really want to play totem aggro shaman.

The main problem here isn't really what this thing does, or the fact that you only summon basic totems, but because murlocs do the job a hell lot better. Clownfish practically allows the same thing for the same mana cost, with better stats, doesn't need infusions, and with Amalgam of the Deep & Gorloc Ravager you dont even need to bother too much about reload. In fact, if you need to flood the board so badly just play Schooling instead

But here's the thing. If you want to play totem shaman, you can because this card is decent, bordering to being good. Mostly because of The Stonewright, which when repeated by macaw makes this card completely insane. The infuse requirement is a mere 2, so its not even that hard to activate it. The deck only needs one more card that adds survivability to the totems and it might actually convince me to play this instead of murlocs.

Even when infused, I don't think the effect is worth 3 mana plus a card. As a top-deck, it's even worse.

rubbish

Evolve fodder??? it can also be a 2/3 that summons 2/2s or with some copy battlecry shenaniganes even 4/3 that summons 4/2s

you need to have this infused, have played a 1 legendary that cant be tutored, have it battlecry copied multiple times and then still have this live /not be ingored.  Thatd be like turn 6+, druids gets multiple rushes by that with its legendary, and just 3hp is evry little after the early game, and where describing isnt somethign thats gonna consistently happen.

And if its not infused and given the attack buff its terrible, espcialyl if not on curve (even when infused and sint on curve and sint buffed) cause low hp and 0 attack isnt hard to deal with.

Should be 2 mana or have higher hp. 

If this in infused  its terrible and even then you need to have it infused and on curve to not be a meh. Sure its 3 bodies for 1 card but turn 4/5/6 later it onyl egts eaier and easier to deal with 0 attackl totems

3 mana for a ridiculous stats and a basic totem? Get out of here. 1/5

EDIT, many of us would think the 4 mana legendary with permanent +2 attack would be good, but to expect 1 legendary card to save the situation can't be called a winning strategy.

I'm looking at the bare minimum you need for Totem synergy and Infuse jumpstarting and it produces no consistent threat on board and no board speed (rush) in a world where Druid gets several dozen mana's worth of minions for free without similar hoop-jumping.

Given the current reveals, if this worked, it would be better fodder for evolve than totem.

But it doesn't really work. You really need that infuse to make it worthwile but there's nothing you can cheaply feed it. Aggro might feel the need to kill these spawns because of eventual Taunt manufacture, but control, or even tempo, will just let you have it.

The last time evolve effects were in Standard, the only reason they worked was when a minimum 3-cost set of a minimum of 3 minions was evolved at once. The Shaman location Muck Pools won't cut it, but Primordial Wave will -- but you have no mana cheat, so that's on 6/5+coin. For 3 4 mana cards. I'll grant you one 5 mana card from the location. Convincing Disguise is effectively gatekeeped until turn 5 as well.

Druid has half a dozen free 3/3s with Rush one turn after that -- and you don't have Rush in general, so they can afford to wait an extra turn to match you.

Thanks for letting me know, this is meant to be a Classic deck. I have updated it now.

Another good minion for curse warlock. I have a bad feeling about this...

Guess this is more support for curse warlock. Fun...

Neat, two Abyssal Curses more.

Better, but I’m not convinced. Deathrattle decks play minions, preferably on curve. So, you’re likely not gonna draw a big minion and I don’t know if drawing a free 4-drop is worth an inclusion. 
But who knows, there may be an interesting combo on the way

I agree with 3. 

How much help does Control Warlock need?

Tokens do not consider conditions like outcast or upgraded spells. You never know with blizzard but I doubt it would summon two shadows.
