Hmm, it's shit if you use it when you're already overloaded, but if you use it the turn you overload you won't be overloaded next turn. Not sure if it's any good.

Yeah, I hadn't thought about using it the same turn, but would help in the sense you could use lightning storm turn 5 and still be able to fire ele turn 6.

I believe your locked mana crystals show up for your current turn (from the previous one) and for the next turn (from the current one). If it unlocks all of them it might be strong but you'd need high mana and those are the turns where tempo swings and mana efficiency aren't quite as important. Definitely a cool card but I'm cautious in how good it will end up being.

With the wording have they clarified if it only means ONES THAT ARE FOR THE CURRENT TURN? Phrasing doesn't clearly state when - and it does queue up the crystals for next turn as well - could see it going either way. Cool concept regardless.

Lava shock allows you to play Feral Spirit without slowing down your curve, which is huge for control shaman but it will probably work well in aggro shaman too.

Turn 3 use Feral Spirit (two 2/3's with taunt)
Turn 4 use Lavashock (do 2 dmg to get your two overloaded mana back) then play a 2 drop or hero power
Turn 5 play Earth elemental...
???
Profit

So basically it comes down to, are you going to cut Crackle for Lava Shock in current lists? Or are you going to design a new overload heavy shaman deck based around being able to lava shock out of your overload once or twice in the match?

The warrior card is OP man.

7 mana = 10 damage with axe flinger+ bouncing blade on an empty board.

Imagine getting 2 axe flingers on board and being able to use any of the dmg shit warriors have (whirlwind/death bite/bouncing blade/taskmaster inner rage/etcetc)

I would never use an axe flinger over a yeti or a sen'jin.

Of course you wouldnt if you're running mid-range or control. This card is going to be for aggro/face decks.
And warrior aggro is still going to be awful. You've got a hero power that doesn't help your game plan and no good cycling options to keep cards flowing.
