A 2 mana 4/5? R u serious??? We already got a MIGHTY 2 mana 4/4, luckily that s legendary so very few people play it. BUT THIS! It s a rare so everyone could play it AND you can also run 2 copies. Ancient Watcher is the reason behind the power of every aggro deck. Luckily we got Magma Rager to counter it the next turn. But that s another OP card that should deserve an hard nerf. 3 mana 5 attack means that you can trade it with Mayor Noggenfogger, so 3 mana for 9, a basic card for a Legendary one. C'mon...
This card is good for a silence deck--Priest, namely, since you can drop 0 cost silences for a turn 2 4/5. Ancient Watcher works if your deck has -too many silences- because that surplus turns into one beefy early game card.
It can certainly be useful. If you either manage, as you've said, to self-silence it or, alternatively, place a taunt on it, the opponent is then forced to deal with it.
Combine adding taunt with buffing it up and you can really annoy the opponent!

I wonder how useful this is in today's meta?

Well that took a while to be used in something else than Warlock.

Can someone clarify for me.. can this card not attack your enemy or can it not be attacked by your enemy? (Or both?)
-the purring dork
Whoever is in possession of it cannot attack with it. It can be attacked, however.
i'm starting to like this guys more ever since i built my handlock and watchers decks !!!
Is this card actually useful? Maybe used i conjunction with a self-silence?
