With all the cards coming out that buff C'thun regardless of where he is, there should hopefully be some cards coming out to counter those buffs. I made some quick cards to give an idea of what it would look like. They probably shouldn't have great stats to avoid players going back and forth between buffing and debuffing their C'thun. I also thought it'd be cool to have some cards that interact with both player's C'thun should they have it in their deck.
What do you guys think? Is this a decent mechanic? Would it work better as a spell?
I don't own Sylvanas Windrunner so I decided to fill her spot with Arch-Thief Rafaam and had lots of fun with it. Playing him with Brann Bronzebeard in play makes for an amazing combo. Lantern of Power is really good for a sudden 10 damage burst to close the game. Timepiece of Horror is good for board clearing if you're behind. I don't take Mirror of Doom often since there was rarely times when I didn't have minions already on the board. It does make a really good turn 10 against control decks if you play Arch-Thief Rafaam turn 9 on an empty board and you know they're going to remove him right away.
Overall it's not a very good replacement but it's hella fun and he makes a really good hard removal target to protect your other big drops.
I've had a blast playing her in shaman decks. Being able to choose your totem is actually much stronger than I first thought. Spawning non-stop taunt totems is really strong against aggro decks. It just makes getting the best totem for your situation consistent. Only getting it past turn 6 (or 5 on the coin) seems like a problem but that's the point when you most likely have fewer cards in hand and have a little more mana to spare every turn.

Got him first try with this deck. Worth mentioning that I didn't have a second Avenging Wrath so I added Arch-Thief Rafaam and took the Timepiece of Horror as a sort of replacement.

Really love the Brann Bronzebeard + The Mistcaller combo. I'll probably end up dropping a Feral Spirit or Sludge Belcher and add in Elise Starseeker just for fun.

Poisoned dagger plays really nicely into an oil rogue deck. It'll be more of a gimmicky deck.

Gonna play a super oil rogue and go for that poisoned dagger otk.

Stats are up for debate. I thought the whole discard benefit from Fist of Jaraxxus and Tiny Knight of Evil was very interesting.
