Notes

• If a spell with Overload is stopped by Counterspell, regardless of order of play, Unbound Elemental will still trigger.

Strategy

Cheap Overload cards such as Lightning Bolt, Feral Spirit and Lightning Storm can secure board control and create a powerful minion at the same time. It can also be beneficial to use Lava Shock and/or Eternal Sentinel in the same deck to mitigate the high Overload output you're likely to produce.

Consider also adding more cards that buff Attack from use of Overload, such as Vessina, Likkim, or Tunnel Trogg, and other effects that benefit from Overload, such as Thunderhead, Lesser Sapphire Spellstone, or Snowfury Giant.

Trivia

• Ironically, this card actually depicts a bound elemental.
