The new Shaman cards aren’t completely pointless, you just can’t play them because Prescience is the current draw engine and doesn’t work with them at all.
^ These are good cards and Prescience won’t let me run them!!! Lowrolling and paying 4 mana to draw 2 cards is GGGGGBG…
Inzah is the centerpiece of the deck before Jive, Insect or anything else. You HAVE to be able to reliably draw Inzah, right now everyone just cuts the minions down to 3 and runs Inzah + Prescience.
Buff/Rework:
Prescience
3 mana
Draw your two highest cost minions.
it’s equivalent to:
or
get even spicier:
Prescience
3 mana
Add two copies of the highest cost minions in your deck to your hand.
Don’t leave Shaman with Totems as their ONLY deck for an Entire Expansion… … …
Many of us have found that, despite how attractive that effect is, Inzah is actually garbage and should be cut from the deck. See, the issue isn’t the cost of the overload cards. Said cards are relatively cheap, and discounting them by 1 really doesn’t accomplish much.
Anyway, running Prescience is only partially about the draw 2 minions idea. It’s mostly the upside of the two bodies it produces. Overload Shaman tends to play much like a control deck, and you never have a free turn to stop and play Inzah against the hyper aggro decks you usually see.
At that point, just ask for a new card. I play Big Shaman, and this would delete my reliable draw, and essentially my entire deck from the game.
Saxophone Soloist is one of the worst cards of all time. Not even with this new version of Prescience should you even consider running it.
