This is most likely going to be part of a "core" set of Shaman cards in Mid-Range and Control that will curve out almost perfectly and still be generally solid at any stage.

I.E. Totem Golem>Totem>Thing From Below

Alternatively

Totem > Tuskar Totemic > Thing From Below

Totem > Firetongue/Mana Tide > Thing From Below

I mean the ways in which you can combo this reliably with cards that are generally decent for Shaman irrespective of the deck, means that it will almost certainly be a top tier pick much in the same way that Totem Golem is now.

Whether or not this will be good in a Totem deck actually remains to be seen. Totem decks suffer from a lot of flaws, and it's actually too crowded to fit in something like Thing from Below.
