C'Thun Flavor Text Vote
Blizzard is holding a vote over on the Battle.net forums to see which flavor text makes it into the game for C'Thun. Head on over the the poll, login with your Battle.net account and submit your choice. The choices are:
- C’Thun really regrets creating the qiraji now that they've hung out together for millennia.
- It’s all fun and games until someone loses an eye.
- C'Thun's shopping list: eyedrops, contact lens cleaner, mascara.
- If C’Thun is too scary, just imagine it with a monocle and top hat, and say hello to your ragtime pal!
- C'Thun's least favorite Hearthstone card: Eye for an Eye.

New dream job in Hearthstone C'Thuns Optometrist!
I hear the job is open because C'Thun threw the last one into the lens grinder and made a spectacle of him!
Best flavor texts are ones that fun while make you think, so my vote is for "It’s all fun and games until someone loses an eye." Really like it.
Nice lore video.
C'Thun's buffing minions seems pretty well curved...
T2 : Beckoner of Evil
T3 : Twilight Elder
T4 : C'Thun's Servant
...
C'Thun already 11/11 on turn 4.... by putting minions with correct stats (without the buff).
But I am kind of disapointed that Beckoner & servant's buffs are identical. I would like to see more various minions/buffs like :
- A rare / common midgame minion with reduce C'Thun's cost by 1 mana as a battlecry (it would be insane if it where "at the end of your turn")
- An 3/4 mana epic (with poor stats) that trigger C'thun's battlecry wherever he is (even half it's battlecry)
- A legendary that gets C'Thun's closer to the top of your deck (as a battlecry).
A C'Thun nemesis (like the BGH) would be cool too. As the buffing minions are not ridiculous for their costs, something like a 4 mana 3/4 "Unbuff your opponent's C'thun" could be fine and playable...
Well, we haven't seen everything but I'm not sure if I want to see the effect triggered with another minion or to decrease C'Thun's cost; it sounds a bit too strong, if you combine it with what we've seen. I like your other suggestions though.
Although it might sound nice, if C'Thun is too good than everyone will play some C'thun deck after expansion and that would be really boring. And if he is not really good, that they just wasted 30-50 cards of expansion on something that noone will play. Both ways are bad.
I think you mean 17 cards (16 interactive cards + C'Thun himself)
C'Thun's Chosen
Zeriyah confirmation:

.....down w/ C'Thun!
I like a couple of the C'Thun flavor text choices (Put out an Eye, Eye For An Eye), but my favorite is:
"If C’Thun is too scary, just imagine it with a monocle and top hat, and say hello to your ragtime pal!"
It's not looking good for that one though.
I wonder if a C'Thun Taunt/Armor/Control/Fatigue/Reno Jackson deck will be viable.
wait til' they release all the cards lol
Hope there's an anti- C'Thun
You want it...I got it...

C'thuntrol warrior, 20 armour with brann wow, or kill any minion 10mana (this, hero power, shieldslam_. yeah kinda getting bored of c'thun synergy now.
Before the expansion was announced everyone was talking about how cool some"Old God" expansion would be. Now that we get that,a lot of you are complaining we see only C'Thun synergy cards... There are 16 cards interacting with him so be patient. Personally i'm happy for every new card just because it's new(sounds a bit stupid,I know).
