Hm. Lot of back-and-forth in these comments.
My take: it's bad. It's a dead draw on the turn you draw it, and it stands a good chance of being effectively dead (by being vanilla 5/5 or worse) on each subsequent turn. There is a chance it becomes something good on any given turn, but not only do you have to get that roll to pass, you also need to be in a position on that same turn to spend 5 mana on it. And at the end of the day, the only reliable thing you're getting from this card, if you're getting anything reliably at all, is value - you can't rely on it shifting to a good legendary for tempo (like Tirion, since in this case it'd be a 5/5 Tirion earlier than you'd usually play him), you can't rely on it shifting for board clear (because what is even left at this point). Value is the second most likely outcome after vanilla*, and if you want value, there are plenty of other cards that provide it reliably.
*Note - didn't actually go through the legendary list and check this, probably should really. Will make a note to do it later.
Too much luck dependent. Good and fun card but not solid.
Surprisingly good. So many good legendaries that are either high cost or low stats, but with this card can be amazing
"Me have master plan"
Maybe this goes in some sort of highlander Shaman or something. But well tuned decks have cards in them that have a consistent effect. Mutate on mogu gets you an average of stats. There are an equal number of bad outcomes to good with the legendary pool. The high roll vids will be all over YouTube but this will not be tier 1
I think people are reacting to this a bit strongly. Sure, randomness hinders it, but at worst it will be a vanilla 5 5/5, which is not a bad floor for random effects like this. Most of the times it will have a benefitial effect that will probably make it worth paying the cost for an advantage of tempo, or add good battlecries like Kronx or Zephrys to the Shudder pool (it can even be a second shudder). You know for sure you'll be able to play this every turn starting from turn 5, so you can hold onto it while you make other plays in case you don't get anything good. We will have to see if Shamans can find space for it, but I don't think you outright dust it and it may even make it into high tier lists
Trolden likes this card.
400 dust . this card doesn't even need a discussion, why is this a legendary?
What will happen when this transform into Shifter Zerus or Chameleos (and vice versa)? There already were bugs with double transforms.
It just hurts to not see Eureka! being played with that hand...
I think you're criminally underrating this. On average you will consistently get a playable result within 2-3 turns (by playable I mean a card that has above average value for its mana cost). However there are a number of results that will give you an insane tempo or value boost and can downright win you the game on teh spot, depending on the situation (I checked)
If Mogu Fleshshaper gets nerfed (by god I hope it will) and the Mutate package falls out of favour, this might just be played for the same reason: when it works out, it just takes the game on the spot.
You heard it here first: you're gonna hate to face this one eventually.
Shifter Zerus saw no play. Chameleos saw zero play. This is basically them. Why would you play a card that may got decent in future for a turn when you can play a card that is decent all the time?
except it isn't, that's the point..
Zerus was just a random legendary, which is obviously bad.
Chameleos isn't bad, there's just no real reason to run him since there is no real midrange Priest deck that could make use of knowing what the opponent has in their hand
The reason this is good is because it allows you to cheat certain legendaries for a cheaper mana cost. 5-mana 5/5 Tirion is great for example. 5/5 Thalnos isn't bad either.
It's not about consistency, it's about the potential to get a really good result that puts you ahead on the board while at worst you'll almost certainly get something relatively useful.
Despite not thinking this is the best card, I always appreciate more additions to the Shudderflock. Not a race we see much of.
Could be Shudderwock or could be Millhouse Manastorm. Could be Kalegos, or could be either deathwing. I get that you hang onto it until you get one you want, but just seems like it's not going to pay off in constructed.
Mutate says hi.
