Interesting... But turn 9 is too late to play taunts usually. Soggoth the Slitherer is playable though, so who knows.

Start of Year: Provoke the failure of 3 expansions, force nerfs on otherwise balanced cards, bring deckbuilding to an all-time low and get rotated one year earlier for being such a threat to the game's health. - Genn and Baku's historical entry on the White Book of Shit Design, shortly before retiring unpunished
If only there was a way to adapt him so he would have "can't be targeted by spells or hero powers". Still a bunch of cards to be revealed so hopefully theres a way. Can anyone say Soggoth on steroids?
Interesting mechanic, i'm glad they're looking out a little bit more for new mechanics to add. Soggoth sees play, maybe in a heavy taunt/elemental deck this'll be good but we don't know for sure.
About a third of the cards revealed so far are related to Taunt, not even counting the Adapt mechanic. It's too early to know for sure but right now I see The Black Knight making a resurgence.

Dependable loan sharks since 1960. We sink our teeth into every deal we make.

Hard to say how good this will be without knowing the elemental synergies. I think it can pretty easily be a 5/15: taunt...
...but how good is that? 9 mana is a lot.
BREAK YOURSELVES UPON MY BODY
I love to see new mechanics like this interacting with the last turn, really nice

Hunter's Mark, Hex, Equality...and others to make a huge tempo swing against this....same reason buffs don't work.
TOO MANY CHEAP HARD REMOVAL SPELLS.
Too expensive. Soggoth is arguably the same if not better and it's seeing virtually no serious level of play.

Atm it's garbage, so they need to release some good elementals for this to work.
Fuck cubelock
Shadow Word: Death
Regardless of how big this is:
Overall I think the card is quite weak. A 9 mana 5/15 taunt isn't that great.

Mother of God O.o
Spending 9 mana for a pile of stats is not how you win Hearthstone.

Soggoth the Slitherer is only playable because it's untargetable.
On the other hand, if they don't have a Polymorph effect, I can see this getting out of hand in the right decks.
