Earth Elemental is a Shaman-only minion. Below the card images, you will find explanations to help you use the card optimally in every game mode of Hearthstone.

Earth Elemental is a huge minion for an initial investment of 5 Mana. However, the Overload cost is very severe, and it is extremely vulnerable to Big Game Hunter, which is very common.

Earth Elemental is rarely seen in Constructed. Although it is a huge minion for its initial Mana cost, it is always vulnerable to Big Game Hunter or The Black Knight, which means there will almost always be a common tech card in the meta that destroys it. On top of this, the total Mana cost (8), is quite high for a 7/8 minion.

Earth Elemental is a fantastic card in Arena. Since the best answers to Earth Elemental, Big Game Hunter and The Black Knight are very rare in Arena, it is much more likely to get a huge amount of value. However, you should generally check for removal options like Hex, Polymorph, and Execute before you commit an Earth Elemental to the board.
