My very favourite Golden artwork in the game :D

 Mage hate this card

One of the auto pick legendaries

golden one looks very great. but so expensive to create :(

one of the best card in this set

The card is definitely worth the mana you pay for it, but take heed: this guy excels at one thing only and that is to get that extra turn without having your board cleared by a flamestrike or what have you. Do not assume that this guy can be stapled to any deck and perform significantly better than a generic 5/5. Play him in aggro. That is where he will shine the most.

That said, another thing to consider is that this guy will not save you when you are behind. This guy is fine in any board state, but you want to play him when you are almost at parity or if you are ahead on the board.

No , you got it all wrong. Loatheb's purpose is keeping your board safe for board clears.

This is basically an auto include in every rush deck ever (expect face hunter because.. face hunter) because you either lose because you lose the board to another rush deck or your board gets wiped by a spell. Loatheb blocks one of those options for one turn.

it's pretty good in aggro and control

What a prefect designed card! Powerful battlecry, beautiful body, not overpowered, but irreplaceable!

In my humble opinion, Sylvanas Windrunner is the peak of classic legendaies, Loatheb is the peak of Naxx legendaries, and Dr. Boom is the peak of GvG legendaies.

...And Emperor Thaurissan will likely be the peak of BRM legendaries!

If you personally like a card, doesn't mean it's perfect for everyone. Chromaggus isn't helpful in most scenarios, on the other hand, Emperor Thaurissan is a really good card, the body is nice, and it allows you to play cards a turn earlier or make crazy combos, giving you a huge tempo swing and potentially winning you the game. Look at druid, for example, now it can do Force of Nature + Savage Roar x2. It's also really good if you have a big hand, like handlock and freeze mage, since it gives you so much value. So definetly Emperor is the peak of BRM legendaries.

Coining into Loatheb on turn 4 can be really good, really messes with the opponent's tempo.

Goes amazingly after King Mukla - makes removal of either even harder. After play Cairne Bloodhoof, if you have all three up it's probably game over. 

Paladin works well with these three combo'd with Avenge or Consecration on turn 4.

This has saved me so many times against so many decks!

This card is really strong against face hunter,I've just played a 8 mana cost Unleash the Hounds.

IMO the best card in Naxx. Hope it never gets nerfed.

You were the Chosen One! You were supposed to destroy Miracle Rouges?! Now you've joined there cause and doomed us all. 

Just played this against a miracle rogue when they had their auctioneer out ready to go all miracle on me next turn.

Dropped this guy - instant rage quit. Such sweet sweet tears.
