Too slow to see any play at all. This card appears to be good but the reality is that it's bad and that it really doesn't have a place in any kind of constructed deck. This card won't be that good in Arena either since it will basically be a 5 mana 5/5 because there's almost no way you're going to be able to draw into the 10/10 and when you do you'll have 10 mana anyways and it will be like playing a slightly better version of that one 10 mana 10/10 that's a common card.
Big minions that don't do anything when you play them on the board don't exist at all in the meta. There isn't a single card in the game that is played in constructed that costs more than 5 mana but does basically nothing to affect the board state or your hand.
Bad card.
EDIT: Didn't see that it was a taunt minion. I guess this would maybe move it to 'Playable' or maybe even 'Very Good' perhaps in a control Shaman of sorts where you can play the 5 mana 10/10 and then Ancestral Spirit it or Faceless it, (Or both if you use Emperor Thaurissan) but that's about it. It could be really strong like that.
The thing that I don't understand is why people are whining about this card. This card doesn't really fit into Midrange Shaman decks.
It PERFECTLY fits mid shaman. Mid shaman already houses aggro and this card gives it insane value against other mid and control... plus it's still good against aggro. Ie.. Reno decks currently do okay against Mid shaman but this card basically guarantees a win unless you land your ONE silence/poly on the front half. Even then you're out a silence/removal and your deck is now weaker against their other big threats.
Mid Shaman of ALL decks has the leisure of including one greedy card, if you even consider a 5 mana 5/5 taunt greedy.
There's no way this doesn't hit all mid shaman decks unless or until silence effects storm the meta.
Maaan! If the 5 mana 10/10 taunt is real THIS is some scary card! Hope it doesn't get as oppressive as it seems at a first glance. Poor guys who dusted The Black Knight
In a priest meta this might not be so great... not only bad against entomb but against pint sized potion+ cabal or potion of madness/shadow madness. I dont think mid shaman is gonna play a minion like that that leaves them so open to counterplay because it doesnt affect the board like valiant, fire ele or rag. I very well might be wrong though
Wow! Cool design, great effect, I really love his "if you strike me down I shall become more powerful then you can possibly imagine." mentality and call me crazy but this could be the start of Deathrattle Shaman.
So wait they can drop this for 5 mana and add that spell that brings it back to life after you've killed it? With no overload, why blizzard? I am happy I didn't get rid of my golden Black Knight.
This is a great card. It simultaneously slows down Shaman, and (potentially) buffs Priests. In fact, many of the new cards will make running some Silence mechanics more attractive.
Quite beautiful for a Control/Attrition priest to Entomb this, I must say.

Bad card.
Well the meta is going to bend over for this turtle fish man and spread its legs.
Unless you silence it or transform it, Shaman will have a 5 mana 10/10. Silence hasn't been run since Owl was nerfed to the ground. 10/10 is hard to kill without hard removal either.
And really, it doesn't do nothing when it has Taunt. Bog Creeper is played, than this very well can be played too.
Really, people were saying the same thing about Dr. Boom and look how that turned out.
Playing any silence minion against this card is shit 3 mana 2.1 to stop taunt and deathrattle ? it will not do any harm to the shaman 4 mana you cannot gain board presence with those costly silence minions. When it comes to removals this card doesn't loose value if it is removed from the board because it is created to be removed from the board.

Why the fuck would anyone dust TBK?
Because it hasn't been usable in ages? I didn't dust mine but I also haven't put it in a deck for over a year.

Entomb on turn 6 is a horrible tempo play. Against one of the best tempo decks ever that will be hard punished. AND they can just hex this guy for 3 mana if you bother drawing and playing it.

pretty good card . any deck that has a little bit of card draw would like this .
This is great for my N'Zoth Shaman. Good replacement for the underwhelming Infested Tauren.
They should give this card away to all players just for logging in because of the delay in reveal.
I'm gonna put him in a Malygos deck just so I can name it "White Eyes Blue Dragon".

Slow and not amazing in midrange deck. I am not afraid that it will make shaman more cancerous.
Interesting in a control deck based on big taunt minions (and deathratle, auto include in N'Zoth deck). I like it.
