Will probably not work as Aluneth is on the board.
secrets/weapons don't count as cards on the battlefield.... it will work

Set up Necrium Blade > Myra's Unstable Element > Play your entire hand except this > Play this then smack your face to whatever available > Profit
you would still have c'thun on board so it wouldn't work
Oh right. Don't mind me then :P

Not if they are already in your hand
Wow really boring effect, they could've done so much better with this.
this is the legendary we will get from packs :(
Reminds me of Barren Glory in MtG, except Barren Glory has a combo to win with it. I'm not so sure about this one.
Mecha'thun is pretty interesting, but given that you have to kill it (i.e. playing Play Dead won't work since he'll still be on the battlefield and block his own deathrattle), it's hard to imagine a way he's remotely playable in the Standard format. He's also very vulnerable to silence effects*, so I think you'd need to be able to kill him the moment you play him. Maybe a deck with Emperor Thaurissan, Drakkari Enchanter, and Hemet, Jungle Hunter can ensure you're able to create an inexpensive combo for this - something like Mecha'thun + Cataclysm. Cool meme for Wild, probably a very hard meme to play in Standard.
*I know people around here say that about every deathrattle minion, but given that this one wants you to have literally no other cards, and doesn't start with rush, I'd say he has a unique vulnerability.
The easiest way to trigger this i believe is Mecha'thun innervate naturalize after you have drawn and played your whole deck..
its a 3 card combo that could go into any druid deck and have it as a last resort..
meme supreme
As a battlecry, it would be useless, you would have him on board and he will fail his own condition to trigger destroy effect.
Draw Zoo with Thuarisan, Hemet and Dark Pact will make this fun.
Deathrattles trigger AFTER a minion leaves the field, never during. So once both are simultaneously destroyed, you win.
Hemet. Jungle hunter
And then an entire deck that cost 3 or less and a machthun
All that and *hoot hoot
Works with Dark Pact but not Sanguine Reveler since then the Reveler will be on the board
Imagine someone killing himself with Treachery and Mecha'thun
