EPOCH
Veeeeery nice card, in Ya Shaarj Druid :) would be nice if druid can somehow get big minions early , some kinda astral spell but in standard, nice addition to control heavy meta, also can be good in Jade Druid due to spell immunity , opponent takes down your jades with some board wipe and then this comes! :D
A-Deg
And then, the poisonous Murloc token attacked.
RoAr
Then the winged hussars arrived?
Gamo
Sabaton :D
EPOCH
Poisonous? murloc token? attacked?!? Wow you man have more fantasy then Steven 'Fucking' Spilberg ! :))
Raemahn
Actually, with the Adapt cards being released, Poisonous is going to become much more common, and having an Adapted murloc isn't impossible.
Aaron
That all changed the day the fire nation attacked
Wolfrost99
Very good card,specialy in a ramp druid.
Can be unstoppable whit adamp :D
Captain Falcon
Holy sheet, this card is OP.
Vilet
I think is a good card but not op, because is a 10 mana cost with no immediate impact on the board .
dan
Your one of those people that just repeats youtube comments.
The reason big cards with 'no immediate effect' suck is because they get hexed or removed before it can do anything. However with this card it cannot get hexed. So provided u can remove a taunt/ there isn't one. This is just a slightly delayed 12 dmg to face plus a 12/12.
Great card (providing you can get to the late game)
emanuele
it can be devolved than hexed/targeted, kazakused, just counter taunted...what else?
gully1824
poisonous.... which isn't present atm in the meta
meesert
Problem in this meta is that when you play a 10 mana no immeidate effect your prob just dead. No board control or heals in lategame are deadly situations.
Vilet
+dan You think can't be targeted by hero spells and powers makes it immune to anything?
Let me inform you that there are plenty of aoe board clears or minions that will kill it anyway. Unless it has some synnergy with druid quest I don't see how this will be better than your average legendary.
Likefia
I have a beast in my sight !
BGH will be back, in the perfect place for a hunt. There is big dinosaurs everywhere.
Japu
I think it's a great card if you manage to adapt it with taunt or windfury
If you leave it without giving it any abilities it's just a bad version of Deathwing
Xasax
Get aviana and this is a great card
TacoRocco
Too bad Aviana is rotating out...
Evident
Yeah, it's a shame!
Heinkel
... into Innervate into Mark of the Wild.
Soggoth pls.
Heinkel
Brode: "Could be a shame if it cannot be target by spells..." :>
Joker91
Ramp>kun >mana back>this on turn 8th seems a lot of value
CookieNutz
Sounds like an idea
But we will have to see how viable druid is
TheGrimone
This effect is progressively stronger the bigger and meaner your minions are. Maybe it reached it's critical size to be valid.
The dream is to menagerie warden it next turn and somehow cheat a taunt through his resist.
EPOCH
You don't need to cheat a taunt, cuz now we have adapt. ;) you can simply adept him and give him taunt wind fury e.t.c. :)
CD001
... or Sunfury Protector / Defender of Argus
TheGrimone
Exactly, my point was that while druid has traditional buffs, that also give taunt to their recipient, only multi target spells, and battlecries would work on Tyranus, such as sunfury protector.
Druidie
They just dumped all their most worthless ideas on druid then...paladin might have got the worst card lineup but druid has by far the most uninteresting.
jesus...
Spamming 1 drops as hunter is going to be so interesting. Spamming shit murlocs for the shaman quest is going to be interesting af. Playing the same card 4 times...what's more exciting than that? Gtfo and quit crying like a little bitch baby
CD001
If the meta slows down a bit this could be a great card in beast or ramp druid; anything with a big enough body that can't be targeted is a pain in the bum to remove.
... and if it survives 1 turn (or you've dropped Aviana > Kun in wild) you've got some options like Evolving Spores or Defender of Argus.
I guess the dream scenario would be something like:
Aviana > Kun > Tyrantus > Defender of Argus > Menagerie Warden x2 O_o
Likefia
then equality + consecretion :p
CD001
Yeah but that's *always* a risk you run when doing the big Aviana > Kun drop :P
CD001
... unless it's Malygos OTK
Thanos
Unfortunatly Aviana rotates out..
CD001
@Thanos: yeah, I know - I did say "in Wild" ;)
lanas
If you know "Aviana rotates out" you must know too that is obvious here we taking for standard mode and not for wild..So tell it at the begging...
Kalo
lanas, wild is a great game mode, and I love it. So do a lot of people. This isn't a dedicated standard site, so stop telling what and what not to talk about.
jesus...
It isn't 2014 anymore, no one runs Malygos OTK lmfao
jesus...
"I did say in wild ;)" No. No, you didn't.
Void
Lol your stupid xD
CapnJJ
Maybe try reading before being a lil bitch ass that has to reply to comments non stop to make yourself feel better
CD001
>>> (or you’ve dropped Aviana > Kun in wild) <<<
Yes, yes I did.
JL
As people have said before, this and managerie warden will be a huge combo. And if you throw in an evolving spores that'll more than likey make it a whole lot better.
Safari
Faceless Manipulator? Why not?
gully1824
Win more?
Nathan Ritscherle
10 mana do nothing. We've learned this isn't good.
Pepperfreez
It is very good if ramped, as a finisher, or if it runs with kun
Mali
The curator feels like it will be a one useful card in the new meta
bugi

gully1824
You just brought back some Legacy memories for me. thanks mate!
FROGERT
Defff's wanna try this!
Zuka
the druid quest is probably going to reduce the cost of your minions or something,
making this super great,
fingers crossed!
Pepperfreez
Especially good when you combo it with another card. Also fun if pulled out with dirty rat
CD001
If I start with this in my hand vs either Mage or Warlock, I'll keep it there just in case of Dirty Rat - I despise that card.
But with Reno rotating out I'm not sure whether Highlander decks will still be viable - they probably won't be as popular; and it's generally those decks that run Dirty Rat.
Jambo
Don't worry mate, I'll always run dirty rat ;)
Lucky7777777s
The funny thing is, it dies way too cleanly to big game hunter...also, board clears like equality+concencration, doom, twisting nether, kazakus potion, brawl, and possibly some more I'm forgetting.
I'm hoping druid's quest helps him out, or helps the astral communication style deck out, otherwise the lack of immediate board impact will be a problem. If it's really OP there's already a bunch of ways to deal with it people will just start using more.
Lol
Who even plays bgh
gully1824
It is a tech card that might come back depending on meta, even after the nerf. mind control tech is non present some months, and in many control decks in later months...
If this card becomes a staple in strong druid decks, then BGH will become a staple in the deck that counters it
Xix
Allso rogues get a new removal that works on this thing.
Heh
Funny you say that, not everyone actually runs these you talk about
Magnus
Kazakus potion can't target him, he's spellproof. The only option you have is bgh or hard board removal, which are expensive and hard to use combos. The card itself doesn't do much immediately, but it can combo with Aviana, Thaurissan in Druid decks, it can evolve from an Onyxia in shaman...it's clearly not the best card, but not the worst either
GandalfThePink42
Kazakus polymorph will hit him 100% of the time the turn after he's played. The card's bad.
jesus...
The card is bad because a single random spell that you get from one card in the entire game can possibly remove this card from the board if you get lucky enough? Just do yourself a favor and stop playing the game. Find something else worth while to spend your time on.
Smileyface474
Who's gonna run Kazakus after Reno leaves...
Flynnstone
Control Priest perhaps due to Raza still existing. It's possible they will end up ditching Kazakus and Raza to make it easier to complete the Preist Quest however.
Magnus
Plus, it's a beast, so it can be discovered or summoned in hunter control decks, it can benefit from specific buffs...give it taunt and it can become a pretty huge pain in the ass
gully1824
I think the number of great beasts added in this expansion makes INFEST HUNTER a real and viable thing... you won;t just pull raptors out anymore.
Mnhmnf
You will never get this from infest, nor discover as a hunter...
jesus...
Another know-it-all scrub lol No discover as a Hunter? Wtf do you think tracking is? Use your brain bro.
Cable
Actually it is possible to get non hunter beasts from infest, so there is a possibility you get this card.
Mnhmnf
I looked up Infest, I didn't know about that one, I admit I was wrong. But it won't make infest hunter a good deck, although I played infest when I was like rank 25 and found it really fun.
As for the other one, I never said you can't discover as hunter, I said you can't discover this card (Tyrantus). I don't even know why people want to play this in hunter. Most player think, and I tend to agree, that hunter is going to play his quest and go full face (or at least play aggressively) this expansion. This giant is everything but aggressive.
Likefia
As a Hunter you can get this minion from Ram Wrangler on turn 5, which is pretty good. That's the reason why Hunter are happy every time big beasts are released.
jeniok
This card is way worse then deathwing. It can probably have impact turn 11-12.. or if you ramp like a maniac. But why would you want this instead of Onixiya. Oni is a 9 mana... 14-14 spreader between 8-8 and 1-1 tokens. Way bettet
gully1824
Let's take this scenario....
T5 lunar visions (maybe earlier than t5 due to ramp), draw Tyrantus.
T6 Innervate, play Tyrantus.
It's not a giant stretch to do this. The question is can druid be so self focused on ramping and drawing in the meta that results. It might take some clever deck building to balance this.
gully1824
Or search with the curator and innervate it out t8 (t8 mana crystal)
Jaych
For me, this card suffers from Vanilla Syndrome. It's just a large card that doesn't do anything the turn that it's played. Which is especially a problem when you're spending your entire turn playing it. Also, Priest has an evil one-two punch of Kabal Songstealer into Shadow Word: Death. It barely even works in Beast Druid...
lennon255
What kind of Priest plays Kabal Songstealer? And why would they still have both of those cards on turn 10 when druid plays shit like Ancient of War?
Mnhmnf
Actually, Reno Priest played Songstealer even with Azure drake in standard. Now that Azure drake is out, I imagine that card is going to be a lot mor popular for priest 5-drop.

MENAGERIE WARDEN YOU FOOLS
jack dalliance
a fool and his money are soon parted. yeah, good RNGeejus.
ribbuster
Look at this guy's art. He's supposed to be on the level of Deathwing, and we all know Deathwing could destroy this lizard. I thought he was a small raptor or something when I first saw him. He better be able to shoot lasers or something cool that we don't know about because he does not look like the power level of a 10 drop 12 12.
jack dalliance
hilarious comment. made my day so far. yeah, artwork does not scare anyone enough to wish they brought a spare change of underware.
jack dalliance
a fool and his money are soon parted. yeah, good RNGeezus. although, the artwork looks like a mud puppy.
Raemahn
Technically, the card doesn't look like the actual minion in WoW. If you Google him, he's an intimidating figure. In fairness, the critter on the card is quite large (towering over the trees around him and with tiny little pterodactyls flying around him), so it's more of an optical illusion. I'm sure if you met him in a dark alley your shorts would be sufficiently soiled.
Super Succ
If we assume those Pteranodon-like animals are similar to actual Pteranodon size, this thing is truly massive. The typical Pteranodon was 5-6 meters, (like 18 or so feet) which makes this thing something in the area of 150 feet as a ballpark figure. That means this thing is almost as tall as the Leaning Tower of Pisa. while thats far from the largest manmade structure, thats certainly not laughable.
Razzor
Well, it could be on par if only stats are counted (strengh + hp). But you are forgeting that deathwing destroys EVERYTHING before entering the board, which is awsome lore and flavorwise. The strengh on deathwing are not his tailwhips nor health. It is ITS HIS FUCKING MAGIC AS HE IS A DRAGON ASPECT WITH STEROIDS.
Carestless
I have to agree with this, if you compare this Card to Deathwing looking at the Lore this Tyrantus is spitting Deathwing's face.
Slightly lower stats, 8 or 9 mana but still the effect of not being able to be targeted would still be a pretty solid Legendary and not totally destory the Lore behind these cards.
Vilet
After the 30/30 jades we are still comparing the cards to the lore?
Based on that jades can pretty much destroy anything in wow lore.
A Hearthstone Player
Aviana > Kun > Tyrantus > Evolving Spores > Win
David
In wild perhaps, Aviana is leaving standard.
Captain Falcon
Negates 95% of removal in Hearthstone and is a MASSIVE body in a class that can get to turn 10 very fast.
Players: This card's bad. Dies in one situation I can think of.
Jaych
My issue isn't that it dies to something easily. My issue is that it's just too slow. Cards like Deathwing, Ravaging Ghoul, and Dr. Boom are all good because they do something the moment they enter the battlefield. Cards like Tyrantus, Ironfur Grizzly, War Golem, etc. have no IMMEDIATE impact on the board, and thus tend to be a waste of a turn.
yuuuuuuuuup
yeah i complitly agree it may be good effect and stat line but it will happen the same thing that happend to sogoth it wont be played becouse it has no imidiate effect( unlike sogoth) and its price is too big
Killerboy2807
Dr. Boom doesn't have an effect immediately as he enters a battlefield. I mean yeah, he has a battlecry, but it's not like the battlecry does any more immediate than a bigger minion would.
War golem and Ironfur grizzly are awful examples. These cards aren't played because of their awfully bad statlines compared to mana. It's like saying a 10 mana 1/1 wouldn't see play solely because of its lack of immediate value.
And Ironfur Grizzly DOES have an immediate effect (kinda). The opponent can't attack other minions or your face at their turn, which comes right after.
zuak201
Love the art,
Reminds me of the pictures in my fossil textbooks
Ludwiczke
Still dies to Rogue plant.
I guess.
CapnJJ
Well I actually like this card unlike most everyone else. Hope meta becomes slow
DarkRitualz
Meta is now ripe for big druid. I just drew this golden! Gonna give it a go.
DumbEndumber
I just don't think people give enough credit for this card. I also don't think comapring it to Soggoth is fair; unlike him, Tyrantus is a threat that needs to be answered, whereas soggoth is much less a priority to get rid of.
This card is a unique type of threat with unique soft (taunt) and hard (kazakus, potion of poly, twisting nether, rogue plant etc.) counters. Of course you can just go on saying that a 10drop without immediate effect is weak, and you won't really be wrong. But a 10-drop that threatens for 12 next turn and needs a specific type of counterplay (keep in mind that any taunt other than Soggoth can be removed easily) is a decent card that needs good deck and matchup knowledge to play around. Will it be played? i don't think so, but not many Druid cards have been revealed up till now, so it could be.
And worst case scenario, it's a druid legendary that doesn't make jade any stronger. That has to count for something, right?
NopeWrong
It is cuntered by most tier1 decks now and in the future. Devolve? Into hex? Frost nova domsayer? Kazakus? Ignore and go face by pirate (your dead by turn10 anyways...) you say it needs answer, but it can safely be ignored and you can go face.
Again this rank25 community saying stupid things. Where would it be played? Druid is only Jade and maly, this is a bad card. Deal with it.
Kopa
Yes this with Sunfury protector or defender of Argus what happens then ?
WrongAgain
Against aggro, you are dead before you play this card.
Against jade, they trade 1 or 2 golem into this and they can make more while you cant make more of this.
Against control, they dont care about taunt, they can nova/doomsayer, devolv, twisting nether or whatever they have to destroy this.
Just warranting a specific response doesn't make a card right if it's not a threat in itself lol
Killerboy2807
Oh and yeah, then you'd also have to assume that Druid couldn't possibly get cards that help this and that the meta wouldn't change whatsoever.
Isaac
It can't be hexed == "Rank 25 community" U're probably one of them. Also the new expansion will change the meta so Druid may not only be jade and maly.
Hanzo
He said Devolve (making it a 9 mana card) and then Hexing the 9 mana threat.
Dennis
Hemet Nesingwary come back!
aoli
went from bad, to a must have with the druid quest
WolfieBane
big and scary and spell immunity is never bad. Best case scenario you kill your opponent almost immediately with this worst case (unless they go face in which case you were probably dead no matter what you did) they used their biggest scariest removal combo or they traded their entire board to kill it. This is pretty good
