This card is MADNESS INCARNATE
Almost Boulderfist Ogre + Avenging Wrath.
10 mana clear minions+big body is good on it's own.
The other cards revealed in this new expac which buff this guy make it ZOMG INSANE VALUE, like that strictly better Spider Tank (Twilight Elder).
Spider Tank is a mech. that's what made it good
I get what you're saying but, other than having a mech tag, it is worse than twilight elder...
Real question: could this combo be broken? I mean, I just have to think that the devs have thought about a buffed C'Thun being an played with a Bran Bronzebeard. But what would be a good counter to a cultists/Bran/C'Thun deck?
I see C'Thun rouge deck be crazy strong with Shadowsteps, coins, brews or even Vanish. There may come out some serious cancer OTK out of this.
Eh: That'd be arguable. Playing him the first time will take up all your turn (Barring Thaurissan being alive for several turns), then Shadowstepping, he'll still be at 8 mana for the next turn. So not quite OTK.
And to be honest, I have no idea if C'Thun will keep his buffs if he's returned to your hand for any reason. I feel like he would, since he gets those buffs no matter where he is.
"I just have to think that the devs have thought about a buffed C'Thun being an played with a Bran Bronzebeard."
Sometimes.... no scratch that, in every expansion they do not seem to know their own game.
That sentence gives them too much credit.
We are talking about Team that made a Legendary that destroy beasts, a bad stat one, because "they knew" it would control some kind of beast deck.
Didnt they want cards to be interactive with both players?
They keep making this otk cards with no interactions with the opposing player.
After Varian Wrynn, another buff for Nerub'ar Weblord.
Hold on, few more expansions and we'll play it. For sure.
Good job its not in standard
So in standard mode even irony will be abandoned..
Soooo... They're always talking about how they want a card to be interactive for both players (which is why they destroyed OTKO Patron and Rogue + Leeroy decks), and now they release a card that pretty much instantly wins you the game if you manage to survive until turn 20?
Until your opponent happens to have C'Thun as well...
which, apparently, they will
If you survive and fight your way to turn 20 you deserve to win the game with this.
No shit sherlock... But imagine buffing him to 25/25, that's a pretty much guaranteed board clear and the rest of the damage goes face. And even if your opponent survives that, how can he possibly deal with a 25/25 minion when his board is empty?
