It is expensive but it's pretty strong. Aviana... Naga sea witch... Y'Shaarj.
8 mana is the correct prize
8 mana or busted.
The body is great, but the question is: Do you really wanna pay 9mana for it?
If you are up against an aggro deck, a 9mana card is basicly too slow whatever it does.
Against a lategame control deck, this card will be OK, since silence will be nurfed, and this guy can only be removed by minions basicly. (Btw Sylvanas Windrunner and Ragnaros the Firelord are pretty good against this card)
Against Midrange, this card will be OK, However midrange decks usually run more, slightly bigger minions.
My guess is that this card will see some play, in decks such as Ramp Druid and Control Warrior.
Owl will be nurfed.
It just feels like if this sees play that people are just gonna run black knight again, and it basically makes those 2 cards mandatory in every control/midrange deck and that feels boring
You can't buff it or heal it with Priest hero power or spells like Flash Heal...
I'm not sure that this is the card that Rouge has been missing. I'm certain no-one else has missed having a neutral legendary like this
I imagine the Therazane same like this card but with additional "can't be target by battlecry".
paying 9 mana for a 5/9 is just not good. the effects are VERy useful, but remember, at this point in the game, the card should win it for you. Plus, you would be dead by the time you played it. BUT, its not all bad. Playing this stand alone isn't good, but combo it with some other dudes (like Y'sharrj) and it does have some use. Additionally, it sounds like most heal/defensive cards are going to be restricted to class cards, so having a neutral like this is a big thing. Ressurect would also be pretty cool but maybe not that viable, who knows? If anyone has some cool ideas I would love to hear them. It sucks to see a bad defensive card so I hope we can prove that it has its merits.
Note: some decks might have a very hard time dealing 9 damage from just board, and 5 attack is good enough to kill most things anyways. At the same time though they can just aim spells face, and owl can still silence it. Maybe synergy with animated armor?
"the card should win it for you"
Old paradigm. Embrace the new.
2 more mana just for spell immune isnt worth it though. If you are running ancients etc they should run out of removal eventually anyways. Plus spells like equality and power overwhelming still work against it and it dies to black knight if that matters at all.
We need some more big dudes like this. Just big dudes that can be removed with a 3 mana spell.
Quiet Good. Just want this one to have cthulhu in my deck !
So its a big arcane nullifier, a part of a super popular tribe but still didn't see much play. I wonder how a non-mech, legendary, high cost version would be?
IDK if this card is awesome or awful.
9 damn mana for a taunt wall. By the time you drop it either you are dead or you already won.
With the likely increase of game time, 10 games will probably be less common. I can certainly see Soggoth being useful, though I feel it could have been 5/10 or even cost one less mana.
Varian, it's your time to shine!
