It definitely soaks damage even in decks that don't run C'Thun, since you can psyche your opponent into thinking you are running it simply by playing this, and they'll try to remove it ASAP. And, as many have mentioned, it has perfectly respectable stats anyway.
I don't think people will be SO concerned about it buffing C'thun that they make sub-optimal plays to kill it. That's what's kind of cool about it, you can't afford to make bad plays just to prevent C'Thun from getting buffed in the late game, because you are more than likely trying to win before C'Thun comes down. So most of the time you just treat it as a spider tank.

You can't psyche players out with this card. Remember that there is an animation if C'Thun grows. As soon as they pass the turn and you don't see the animation, you'll know they aren't playing C'Thun.

Lots of animations still show up when nothing actually happens.
Extremly good stats, especailly in standard mode, if anyone actually gonna play that, might even see play in non-c'thun decks for the stats alone.
I would rather run the sisters in a non c'tun deck.
I agree. In any non-cthun deck there are better choices. But this is a well stated on curve card for C'thun decks. Makes me look forward to further Cultist reveals. Feels like they really are going to support this 4 old god focus decks. Mostly I am interested in how different classes will build their C'thun decks. I have to imagine that a number of the 16 interact-able cards will be class specific.

better then the 2/3 imo. 3/4 stats should not be underrated.
Agree, definitely decent for a chtun deck, at least on curve.
A Spider Tank that needs to be taken care of asap. SeemsGood
inb4 the card that says "Double the Attack and Health of your C'Thun (wherever it is)."

Very, very strong
Ctun is decent alone (and probably worth his cost), this guy is good on his own and makes Ctun a very high impatc play.
Will ctun decks play pandas ?
Well this card is great on your C'thun deck.. decent arena card

A noticable buff to Jeweled Scarab, a replacement for Dark Cultist, etc.
Not sure if hyped yet.
3 mana 3/4 is decent for the early game, and it has combo contribution for when late-game comes around and you draw C'thun. I like it.
Decent Spider tank replacement, hope there wont be a "Cthun-Warper" where all support cards get discounted.
SeemsGood
