I like it, I like it!
So basically 9/10 C'thun related cards are going to be vanilla cards, but with an added effect that buffs C'thun?
That's not only pretty lazy on the development side, but also erases any reason you might still have left to use basic cards... Kinda degrades them from 'slightly worse, but simpler to use than the cards you have to buy' to 'just worse than the cards you have to buy'.
Seems fairly statted. Appears to be a likely inclusion in C'thun decks.
Also, noticing a general theme amongst C'thun cards: a generally good stat line. Hopefully this causes the theme to truely be viable, not just some rare yet ineffective gimmick.
Is it really worth to run all these mediocre cards just so you can use cthun in your deck? The answer is no. People will try the cthun decks out for fun the first weeks, then realize its a really lame deck.
wow did blizz let you into the beta?!?!? Can i have a key!?!?
Its not that hard to see, are you really gonna run these vanilla 2/3, 3/4s and this garbage 7/6 because you wanna drop cthun on turn 10? Im not being that unrealistic, you can use your brain even tho the cards aren't out man. What if your cthun is on the bottom of your deck, and your opponent is playing a deck with actual value minions. You lose.
actually 7/6 for 6 are pretty decend stats and if you count the battlecry you pay 6 mana for 9/8
how is that mediocre?
its not he is just pretending to be a badass
Saying that this card is a 9/8 is wrong. If you never draw the Cthun its just a shitty vanilla plebian minion. You guys will see how right i am when the expansion hits.
Ben Brode op
Ahaha the warsong Commander in the bottom i'm dead
lol so true
Maybe Skeram Cultist , seems better Translation.
More C'Thun cards... Where's the others Gods?
Irrc only C'thun has cards like this and that number being 16 the other gods are just cards that why we get C'thun for free as he has synegy cards in the set
Unfortunately the deck is not physically shuffled and randomizes each time a card is added to the pile, so telling you where it is or moving up it's priority is not possible the way the game works.
I agree... but those 2 effects would be lame... if u already have C'thun in your hand then they would have no impact.

If you look back on this post regarding deck shuffling, you'll see that the game does indeed keep track of deck order, and that the designers are aware of it and seem prepared to make cards with that mechanic in mind. (that being said, the effects mentioned above seem a tad underpowered. Maybe put it on top of your deck would be interesting, but at that point, why not just draw it?)
