Yeah basically what the title says. I know many people have talked about this card, and maybe shaman in general, I have not been on forums lately, but I did want to post about this.
Pretty unfair they get to counter any board ever with windchills all day and snowfall+bird shenanigans, but it is also ok that they can have tempo cards like wildpaw(bloom never nerfed, turn 1 2 wildpaws basically make non-games), can counter spells with frostbite, draw faster than classes that are supposed to have card draw as an advantage, and last but not least, burst you down with their own spells, not requiring a board to do so. I am prob crazy but what gives. Thank you for reading my ranting.

Most of the good decks are face spell decks so it wont see much play next xpac
Not sure I get what you are saying, this card will for sure see play next expansion.

Im saying that no one will play board decks
I think the card is too good and I have for awhile.
I highly doubt there will be no minion based decks.

Spell shaman and Quest hunter will most likely be the meta because they are already exremely powerful and even more in next xpac, so unless reno is added to the core board decks will suck
I agree. Hunter and Shaman are my picks to dominate.
I don’t know it looks like they are adding many minions that will actually synergize with spells, which to me means they will be playing more creeps than before at least right?
Most of them are to buff your spell dmg etc so you only need them for 1 turn anyway
Yeah a lot of them are just play a naga while holding x spell or play spell(s) while holding x naga and it does something when you play it, so maybe you guys are right. Still though there seems to be a lot of spells that can summon minions and colossal minions. I do however think snowfall should be reworked and may be part of the reason we may no see as many minion heavy decks, as well as their card creating choices leaning towards spells.
I am hoping for those two to be nerfed. As I can tell, all the other classes will lose their best combo/burst cards. If they take out Hunter and Shaman, we might get back to a board meta.
Speaking of Hunter and Shaman, what are the cards you guys want nerfed? Just out of curiosity. 
For Hunter I want the quest to be nerfed, it would directly slow them. And I think that burst Shaman would be nothing if they dont have a good way to control the board, so yeah, nerfing the freeze elemental guy might work.
Hunter and shaman both will need heavy nerfs if we ever hope to have a somewhat slower meta. Nuke them both.

Burn Shaman loses some of its spell damage cards, and a couple face damage cards, so I highly doubt it will be as lethal as it is currently.
Quest Hunter I can agree that I think this will be the first thing nerfed at the start of rotation.

Quest hunter issues can be solved in the core set and from what we have seen it looks like they are going that way. Shaman however is built from fewer core set cards and yes Snowfall Guardian will 100% still see top play because it’s that good. The main issue is the bird remaining at 3 mana. That card needs to fundamentally change how it works, be removed from the game or cost increased by a wide margin.
All I can say is that is very frustrating to play a board based deck with this cardbalong with the parrots around.
There are so many board based decks. I don’t try because of this one deck?
I’d nerf Snowfall to freeze 5 random minions, Macaw to 4-mana 4/4, hunter quest to HP cost 1 (as Raza should’ve been) and preemptively nerf Nellie to discover non-legendary pirates lol
we are getting this guy to counter snowfall
so whats the issue ?
