if the first rogue card is the last class to get revealed I am going to be so annoyed. well not really but I want to see it so bad.

Well with TGT we already had all the Shaman / Mage cards known at this point. GvG was a little better at spreading the class love and Naxx was just terrible with one class card a week

http://us.battle.net/hearthstone/en/forum/topic/20742934646#1

The bane of contact lenses everywhere, the ancient many-eyed Old God C’Thun is great at winking, but not particularly good at describing itself.

That’s where you come in! Cast your vote on what flavor text makes it into Hearthstone for the Legendary card, C’Thun

C’Thun really regrets creating the qiraji now that they've hung out together for millennia.

It’s all fun and games until someone loses an eye.

C'Thun's shopping list: eyedrops, contact lens cleaner, mascara.

If C’Thun is too scary, just imagine it with a monocle and top hat, and say hello to your ragtime pal!

C'Thun's least favorite Hearthstone card: Eye for an Eye.

So an interesting tidbit from the blog post:
Source
Most of C’Thun’s devoted followers—16 in all—offer a direct buff to C’Thun when played. It’s not all volunteer work either; the more powerful C’Thun becomes, the greater the potential reward—it’s a squid-pro-quo kind of thing.


So far the two class C'Thun cards don't actually buff him. Is this a mistype? Or are there even more than 16 card that interact with him?

C'thun's Servant looks pretty strong, it has the stat distribution that Silvermoon Gaurdian (4 mana, 3/3 with shield) should have had. It might see play outside of C'thun decks.

Ancient Shield Bearer seems really solid, will definitely see play. Between Shield Bearer, Shield Maiden, Justicar Trueheart and Reno Jackson, we are getting to the point where we can make the ultimate fatigue and grinder Warrior deck for Wild. Sign me up
You either die as a control player, or live long enough to see yourself playing aggro.

Brann is already a card C'Thun decks want to use, getting +4/+4 per Cultist card is really strong, and there's always the rare shot at having Brann on the board when you play C'Thun himself, but Ancient Shieldbearer is another one. 20 armor anyone?

Ancient Shieldbearer is insane, just wonder how often C'thun will get buffed over 10+ by T7 because if he doesn't she really sucks.

Warrior has a lot of trouble to stabilize vs agro. I am not sold he can afford to trade weapons/taunters/spells by C'thun minions.

If they made a 4 drop that's procs off 10+, then I gotta assume it should be a slam-dunk to get it there by T7.

You just need two of the +2/+2 servants by turn 7 (or one + brann), it's very likely to happen every time. This card is great, it is also 10x better than if it had been 7/7 for 7 mana.

But yeah so far C'thun deck seem like they will struggle terribly vs aggro.

I don't know how much they'll struggle. All these cultist cards so far are actually decent early game minions. A 2-mana 2/3, a 3-mana 3/4, and a 4-mana 4/2 with Divine Shield. There's nothing about it that screams anti-aggro, but cards like that give you a chance at the very least. Playing bodies like that on curve gives you a fighting chance, alongside your class' removal. I say wait and see what happens, but I think it will work out.

I'm getting the impression that a C'thun deck will be more about surviving til he's played than actively buffing him as much as possible. Brann might be too slow for very little benefit (assuming he's immediately removed, as your opponent will see what you're doing, you get maybe an extra 2/2 or 4/4 for comparatively little threat on the board). I don't think buffing C'thun will be that much of an issue, so if you've got 8 cards (assumng one class card and seven neutrals) already buffing him, the rest will likely be reserved for removal and general board control/survival.

Or I could be wrong and Brann will be auto-include.

Why would you not include Brann? He's useful for other things in anti-aggro as well, soaking 4 damage is an obvious one as it's high priority but also there are numerous other battle cries you might want buffed such as Healbot.

And this doesn't make a whole lot of sense, if anything Warrior's the best class in the game against aggro with the best, most cost efficient removal.

Control Warrior is great against aggro and most control decks. what it really struggles with is midrange, which many people tend to mistake for aggro.

So is the entire new meta going to just be C'Thun decks trying to buff them for 9 turns, hoping to kill you with a 30-hit attack? Sounds *really fun*. ??????

No?

There are existing decks that people can and will play. Also, ya know, over 120 new cards that have not been seen yet.

What would make you think that these few cards that have been shown are enough to predict the new meta?

im pretty sure blizz will make it so, that the best decks can only be made with at least a few of the new cards (or at least make it look like). this to give an impulse to the community to actually buy the new packs (additional to the nice cardback).
If the existing decks would still be as strong, lots of players on the edge of F2P or P2W (exaggerations) will be pushed to the F2P side: they dont have to buy new cards, nor build new decks.
C'thun decks are perfect for this. they all revolve around the new cards, so i wouldnt be surprised if bilzz has a goal to make C'thun decks the new meta
(in my personal opinion this is also a part of the reason for introducing the wild/standard play, people will have to keep buying new packs, as sooner or later all old packs (except classic) will be rotated out)

I get that - It just seems there is a lot of hype around CThun. Just hoping we dont get pigeon-holed into running him because we HAVE to. Like Dr. Boom or Shredder

Dr Boom and Shredder are completely different though. You can make decks without them because they're not contributing to any strategy, they're just the best minions for their mana.
You can't run C'thun without making a c'thun deck, on the other hand.

Cthun is basically the replacement for mech decks which was hearthstone's starter deck

Ya I saw that thread on reddit too. It's an interesting approach, here's a tribal you can easily build around. In fact here's some pieces of it for free! (C'Thun and 2 Beckoners).
