I am not sure if you are serious or just a troll. I hope you are a troll...

LUL taunt is +1 and lifesteal +1.

How exactly is it OP? It's a class card minion at nine mana (terrible mana spot imo) that is only powerful in one-two priest archetypes, but not powerful enough to burst you down from 20-0 health. Not powerful enough to see play in every single priest deck and pretty easy to counter. Tbh it's fine as is. Sure it's annoying but annoying  =/= op.

 Again .. what I believe make it OP is spelled out in the original post. At 4 attack, its immune to priest removal. Lifesteal. Taunt. And, hard removal of a minion. 

Compare to Voidlord, a card that literally has affected a large percentage of the game by making silence effects nearly "must have".

3/9 stats, but the 3 attack makes it a target for priest spells, but same overall stats. Taunt ... both minions. But Void Daddy only has one more trick up his sleeve ... summon 3 more 1/3's. Statue has 2 tricks ... Lifesteal, and the hard removal. 

Yes, it is supposed to be a power card, as most 9 drops are. But, IMHO, it is overpowered, especially when compared to it's closest relative, Voidlord. And much like Voidlord, it's power is just multiplied by res effects. Dealing with 1 or 2 or either of them is not so bad .. but when they just keep coming back again and again, they become impossible to deal with. 

I think what most people are complaining about with your original post is that you simply misidentify the problem, though you've now mentioned it twice - the power of the card is multiplied by effects which "cheat" it into play. It isn't obvious that either Voidlord or Obsidian Statue would see any play at all if there weren't ways of cheating them onto the board - indeed, if you take a look at the stats from HSReplays, it's perfectly true that neither card currently sees play in decks that lack such cheats. In other words, neither card is currently deemed powerful enough to be hard-casted into play - thus, if there is a problem, it's with the cheats, and not with the minions themselves, so nerfing either Voidlord or Statue isn't really justified. As a result of all this, you leave the impression that you've not really given your own suggestion a great deal of thought.
