Notes

• At the Start of Game, C'Thun, the Shattered is removed from player's deck. The four pieces of C'Thun, (Body of C'Thun, Eye of C'Thun, Heart of C'Thun and Maw of C'Thun) are then shuffled into the player's deck.
• After playing all four pieces successfully, C'Thun, the Shattered is shuffled into player's deck.
• C'Thun, the Shattered cannot be generated or Discovered randomly.
• It is impossible to draw C'Thun, the Shattered during the mulligan stage.

Strategy

Please add any available information to this section.

C'Thun, the Shattered should be put in a slow deck that expects the game to go long, especially against other similarly slow decks. C'Thun's Battlecry provides a simple win condition for decks that may not otherwise have one. He's also useful for delaying fatigue, adding up to 4 cards to your deck for no cost.

The main weakness of this card is the inefficiency of each body part. While the four cards are okay, this does force you to run four 'merely okay' 5-mana spells, which can seriously hurt your deck's consistency. You may want to lean more heavily on card draw and early game survival cards than you otherwise would when building a C'Thun, the Shattered deck, as C'Thun will cover your midgame by himself. You should seriously avoid other 5-mana cards unless they're absolutely crucial to your deck.

Shamans can use Tour Guide with Heart of Vir'naal to deal 60 damage split across all enemies, almost always resulting in a win.

Playing Lorekeeper Polkelt with no 5 drops or more in your deck will stack all 4 pieces of C'Thun on the top of your deck. However, C'Thun, the Shattered will be shuffled into your deck, breaking Polkelt's effect and leaving you with no way to guarantee drawing him.

TEST YOUR OPPONENT'S SECRETS BEFORE PLAYING A PIECE OF C'THUN!!! 1 Counterspell can instantly destroy a Win condition and leave you with just the 3 or less 'ok' cards with no real value. Treat this card's effects like Rin, the First Disciple. While a Mage can't Get their own C'Thun, they can still throw you through a whole heap of issues should you mess up your combo.

Lore

For general lore, see C'Thun.

This card's mechanics resemble C'Thun's original boss encounter in the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj. Players would have to fight his body parts individually, starting with his eye before moving onto his body and occasionally fighting inside his stomach. The Heart of C'Thun is unique to Hearthstone, but visually resembles the Heart of Y'Shaarj.

Trivia

• C'Thun, the Shattered's flavor text refers to an oft-quoted scene in the first episode of Yu-Gi-Oh!, where the protagonist Yugi Muto/Yami Yugi faces off his rival Seto Kaiba. After Kaiba mocks Yugi for using his grandfather's deck, Yugi declares, "My grandpa's deck has no pathetic cards, Kaiba." He then proceeds to draw Exodia the Forbidden One, adding, "But it does contain - the unstoppable Exodia!" The alternate win condition effect of the card then triggers, allowing Yugi to win the duel.
  • C'Thun, the Shattered is similarly based on the iconic Exodia, which requires the player to draw into the shattered pieces of Exodia (represented by five cards) to instantly win the duel.
