Only druid could afford something this expensive

this card is good and I think it will be played now that almost all otk are gone. The abominable lieutenant is already a nightmare to clear as paladin or any board based deck, and this is better. even without fancy combo its a card that requires at least one AoE + one single target destroy in most cases, it’ll generate a lot of value. It’s also easy to play for mana cheating class like Druid or rogue. I Think we could see a big rogue happen, scabb into this is strong and with the new 8 mana spell, you can generate a lot of value as rogue.

Definitely toxic in Arena with DoD coming back in the rotation and Dragon Discovers being commons and top tier draft picks. Looks like top 4 Arena Classes are Hunter, Mage, Paladin and Druid for the Explorers into discover Onyxia/Ysera I win button. But we also still have the Shaman Avalanche cheese so top 5 classes.

Mecha‘thun and other Destroy effects don’t do damage, they swiftly obliterate the minion/opponent. This overrides Immune and Divine Shield - and ofc reaches thru Stealth, if it‘s random.

I mean it’s obviously a very good card. Especially in druid or rogue or anything that doesn’t have wide removal. It seems underwhelming, but dealing 20 damage for 10 to minions is good.

I feel that 10 mana is too much for the effect. While it’s certainly powerful for all the reasons others have pointed out already, I think 9 mana would have been a better spot for it. But once rotation happens it might be able to justify its 10 mana cost with the power level reduction.

This is better than Deathwing a lot of the time. No discard Drawback. Doesn’t destroy your side of the board. Easier to use as a tempo play and puts 20 power on board vs 12. Can be harder to remove than Deathwing as you need to remove whelps first if all you have is damage and minion combat. There aren’t many situations where this isn’t enough removal compared to Deathwing, besides some kind of Mass Resurrect play like N’zoth or Priest shenanigans.

Looks like a very strong card albeit a bit slow.
Would be nice to give this taunt. Hard removal wont work against imune i think or does it?

This + Survival of the Fittest in Druid for a bit before Scholomance Rotation. Druid is already ramping to like 15 mana in this current meta. 12/12 Onyxia and 6/5 whelps.
