Yeah just after darnassus aspirant was made people were putting yetis into standard combo druid and we're losing shredder now. I can definitely see it being a thing in a cthun deck if cthun works.

Turn 1 innervate twilight elder, turn 2 reckoner of evil, turn 3 twilight elder... turn 4 4 mana 4/10.

I really hope the expansion has more than Cthun and company in it.

All 9 classes playing slightly different Cthun decks would be lame.

By my count there's already 16 4 drops clearly better than Yeti currently in the standard card pool. RIP vanilla 4/5 for 4.

Yeti is not worse than Violet Teacher in every deck, for example, but if you have a Yeti in your deck then you're at a handicap against an opponent that decided to play Violet Teacher

Downside to yeti may be that 5/4 could be better than 4/5 with shredder gone since there's only 2 three drops that see play and have 4 attack.

I hope the yeti returns. Sludge belcher going away helps it substantially.

Couple of Tweets from the Hearthstone Twitter just fyi

"If a Priest Thoughsteals C'Thun, the stolen C'Thun gains the ritual buffs from that Priest, not the player C'Thun was stolen from"

"C'Thun does not have to be in play for Klaxxi's Amber-Weaver's Battlecry effect to occur."
