The spoilers continued fast and frequent today with two different reveals. First, E. Malone’s Third Journal–Week Three revealed that the name for the race of turtle-people is the tortollans, and that their leader is named Umbra. We know that the turtle-people will be represented in the set, and we fully expect Umbra to make an appearance–almost certainly as a legendary. In the journal, Umbra gives Malone to the murlocs, and later appears to give Megafin (the murloc leader) instructions, which may indicate some synergy between their cards/tribes. Finally, the journal makes reference to a massive purple “megasaur” upon the back of which the murloc village is located, which appears to be a reference to the previously leaked Gentle Megasaur card, below.

Most directly, however, the Journal revealed some upcoming murloc synergy, including the shaman quest, Unite the Murlocs and the quest prize, Megafin itself. The cards come right as Everyfin is Awesome rotates out of standard, so it is unclear how much of an impact they will have.

Just a couple hours after the Journal, Hearthpwn revealed Shaman’s standalone legendary, Kalimos, Primal Lord the four Elemental Invocations that he allows you to CHOOSE from when his ability activates. The four elements are the Captain Planet elements, but without “heart”–perhaps not coincidentally, these are also the four basic Platonic elements found in ancient philosophy. Regardless of the origins of the elements, they seem very powerful! Fire and Water have easy parallels (Fireball and Greater Healing Potion, respectively) that indicate the Invocations are valued at just under 4 mana–making Kalimos’s body roughly Shaman’s favorite 4-mana 7/7. A lot of people, myself included, think this may be one of best cards in the set.

Finally, while I was in the middle of writing this post YET ANOTHER card was revealed. This one filling out the previously-weak midgame elemental turns, all but ensuring that the deck sees a lot of play following release.
