Hardly. Most of the times aggro decks use their board to clear taunts anyways. It'll only prevent hunters from using Hunter's Mark or Kill Command on it. Otherwise it's a pretty strong card, right up there with Sen'jin Shieldmasta.
It still is great against aggro then, right? If the opponent uses 2 to 3 minions on it.
Sleeper card? Seems purely better than Sen'jin in my opinion haha. Hunters not being able to use that damned Hunter's Mark (or even Kill Command) is huge.

Ehhhh...
Note that there's really only two real aggro decks out right now: zoo and hunter.
Hunter, this is nasty evil as sludge typically gets KCed then followed up with a minion and most hutner creatures are 2 health.
Zoo.. it works IF you are slightly ahead by turn 4. If they are ahead then they'll have the board to just remove it no problem. So against zoo it's a card to turn your advantage into a win, but it can't turn a losing match into a good one.
If the game doesn't go heavy aggro, I'd prefer Taz. If it goes heavy hunter/zoo, then I'd consider him as an option. Note I say the same thing about deathlord and see how he turned out :P.
Man, this card is going to suck to play against. It can single handedly destroy an aggro deck's tempo because of it's ability to probably make 4 hits before dying, and this guy is going to be annoying for most other tempo decks because they are going to be forced to deal with it. This card might be the new Sludge Belcher and it is certainly a meta definer.
Not a bad card, 2 attack means his mind can be changed, which will be relevant considering priests are probably going to get even more popular after this drops. Still though, the ability + the fact that it's a mech makes this a potentially painful card to deal with.
Am I the only one who is worried about Miracle? This thing can wreck down even more versions of the deck. At least I can try a token Miracle or Malygos, when I craft him. But all these cards make think that this expansion is not for miracles :P
Anti-spell decks are going to become a thing with this much immune to spells and those minions that gain attack (Not to mention the new neutral legendary that summons them )

In what world does a 5 hp minion take 4 hits to kill. Huffer + something = dead, same leok, generally aggro can kill this thing as easy as taz.
I meant that the thing could be able to do at least 4 attacks before dying.
I don't get this card at all. How often is a shieldmasta targeted by spells compared to how often 3 toughness minions sits on the board? The 3 power is key in tons of situations (also on offense), the untargetability is at best narrow.
i always opted for senjin over yeti, but im not sure about this over senjin. in some cases the resistance to spells is nice but lets say the hunter matchup people are saying you cant kill command or hunters mark it. well if they kill command your senjin thats 5 less damage going to your face later so thats usually good. and hunters mark can hit some worse targets like the big legends in your deck. but i still like this guy and i might throw one in a midrange mech deck, possibly 2 if theres alot of aggro around

What spells afflicted shieldmasta other than SW:P anyways?

One does not simply walk into Mordor,
unless they want to be the best they can be.

this is going to be a very annoying creature especially because most of the mech buffs will 100% be able to target this thing. I'm scared.
Kel'thuzad found a new friend.
Bad players whine.
Good players adapt.
One more reason for hunters to run Stampeding Kodo now.
