Take a look at Hearthstone’s biggest minion yet

The next expansion for Hearthstone will feature a big minion. Very big. Whispers of the Old Gods brings out the Ancient One, a minion with 30 attack and 30 health, enough to immediately kill another player at full health without armor. So that’s going to be fun to see on the battlefield. It’s going to take a bit of work to get it out on the field, though, as explained in a recent card preview and interview on designing the beefiest minion yet.

Players won’t be able to summon the Ancient One directly; instead, players can summon Blood of the Ancient One, a pricey-but-reasonable 9/9 minion for 9 mana. Finish a turn with two of them under your control, and they automatically merge and summon up the Ancient One itself. The result is a minion that’s going to take some work to summon and lacks in special abilities, but makes up for it by, well, being really big.
