Just had an excellent game with a tempo/mech mage which I lost, but in which I discovered why Chillmaw is so valuable.
It's turn nine. Mage has a 7/4 Dr. Boom on the board and 1 card, which he plays. Mana Wyrm. He's on 6 life. I've got nothing on the board and I'm on 10 life, which he quickly reduces to 3 with Boom. I've got Twilight Drake, Velen's Chosen, Wyrmrest Agent and another card in my hand (possibly Dark Cultist).
My turn, draw and play my nice shiny Chillmaw and heal back to 5. Still got the Drake and everything ready. Instantly knew in that moment why Chillmaw is far better than I gave it credit for.
Turn 10, he draws and runs Boom into Chillmaw clearing everything and pings my face for 1 and then ends his turn. I'm pretty happy right here, thinking he's got something useless in his hand. I know he's already played his Fireballs and 1 Frostbolt. On my move I play Wyrmrest Agent, Drake and then hit it with Velen's Chosen to make it a 5/10 - ain't nothing but Pyroblast or Deathwing is getting to this minion next turn*.
Turn 11 he topdecks Pyroblast and kills me! Haha! All's fair in love and hearthstone and it was an enjoyable game that Chillmaw would have won for me if it weren't for a fairly well timed draw.
*Thinking back here I left myself exposed to a second Frostbolt, so I should have healed instead of playing Wyrmrest Agent, but I wanted to trigger it with the Drake.

Chillmaw accepts your apology. You may go on and use him in your decks.
