Original Post:
I want to have an overview to what the best taunt options are. I made a tier list based on what taunts I think are good with the reasons stated in parenthesis behind each tier. Are there some taunts that I under or over value? Do you agree with the list? Please let me know, and more importantly, tell me WHY you think so!
S - Twin Emperor Vek'lor; Twilight Guardian; Chillmaw; Master Jouster; Cyclopian Horror (Insane stats, but only when conditions are met)
A - Sen'jin Shieldmasta; (Good stats per mana, more health than manacost)
B - Sunwalker; Psych-o-Tron; Soggoth the Slitherer (Low stats per mana, but still hard to remove)
C - Dread Corsair; Crazed Worshipper; Infested Tauren (Low stats, but has synergy with weapons/C'thun/N'Zoth)
D - Evil Heckler; Hogger (Decent stats, but low health taunt isn't desired)
E - Shieldbearer and the rest of the taunts that "never" see play as they are too unimpactfull.
Honeroble mentions (Awesome indirect taunts) - Golden Monkey; Hogger, Doom of Elwynn; Defender of Argus; Sunfury Protector)
You left Bog Creeper off. I've seen quite a bit of him lately.
Forgive me, friend. I have failed.
Dude Soggoth the Slitherer is S tier, just try it in a control C'thun or N'zoth deck he is always almost a 3 for 1. Value on legs.
Faceless Shambler and Squirming Tentacle???
The murloc which spawns a taunt?
New entries:
S - Soggoth the Slitherer (Up from B-tier). Really hard to remove. Grants alot of value more often than not.)
A - Bog Creeper; - "Good stats per mana, more health than manacost"; actually lost to this guy the other day haha, I initiallythough he was good but then I changed my mind. But I agree that he actually is pritty solid when it comes to a big taunt card.
C - Faceless Shambler - great in some cases, but you cant just throw him down when you need him and expect him to protect you if you dont have another big minion to copy stats from. Some of the value I see in a taunt, is that you can slam them down to immidiatly stopp aggression, whithout having a need for board presence already.
D - Bilefin Tidehunter - "Decent stats, but low health taunt isn't desired", probably great in zoo/aggro pala type of decks with multiple small value minions that need protection.
D - Squirming Tentacle; Current biggest neutral 3-mana taunt. Still thinks he is pritty weak though. A cheap way to protect your other good minions more so than to protect yourself imo. Maybe in priest or shaman where yu can heal it up again? Or in a deck with alot of smaller valueble minions? If you need taunt and a 3-drop this is your guy.
