i don't think the issue is that turtle are not dangerous. If you read the link you posted someone claims they can't even retract in to their shell (thus the mechanic doesn't match the species).

The issue is that they are Earth. I think tortoise would fit better too since they are earth creatures.

Yeah, i guess tortoise would be better, because just the word "turtle" may make people think that it is :water; good job anyways.

+1 vote for a rename to Tortoise.

I think Attack and Damage are high on both accounts. I would make the normal 4|4 and the upped 5|5, and I think that fits better with its cost.

 If you really want the higher damage I would lower  the health a bit so it needs fewer CC abilities|spell to bring down if the opponent is really desperate to bring it down. So if you want the damage to stay, I would make it 5|3 normal and 7|2 upped. Even with 3 health it would last longer than the Immortal against a spell effect shield, even if it would deal its damage every other turn. The important thing is that it will be alive three turns longer, giving the owner twice as long to counter the shield, if possible. With 2 health, it still lasts 1 turn longer than an immortal against a shield.

Tortoise fits :earth a lot better than turtle and still conserves the general theme, so maybe a name change would be in order.

went and changed the upgraded's name, but sticking with turtle for the small one.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turtle states that turtle can be the general term covering sea turtles, terrapins and tortoises, and it's cuteish.
