Well, this one's a no brainer. Perhaps the only titan that's more threatening because of its card effect than any of its three titan powers.
Being able to discount a spell every turn is basically insane enough. Combined with the ability to deal 3 damage to enemies and heal for 6? Well, that's just immediately game over for aggro decks.
The only problem with golganneth is that he only really has one good titan power and the others are pretty much meh, meaning he doesn't snowball as well as the other titans. But still, you'd never leave him alive the turn after he's played. The mana discount per turn alone is more than enough motivation to get rid of him as soon as possible.
The 20 damage to a minion seems like the least beneficial, until you realize it can knock out thaddius AND allow you to cast a 3 mana spell for free. This guy won't get the credit he deserves until it's abused and nerf time
I don't know what minion has nearly 20 Health without a bunch of buff spells played on it, and the days of Divine Spirit are gone. 3 Mana discount for a spell each turn seems nice though, and the other abilities look pretty good.
Boldly predicting there to be a Sham spell that reads, "until end of turn gain life equal to the damage dealt to enemy minions". It will naturally cost 3.
The Only Constructed Deck Worth Playing:

So the options:
Lord of Skies: Dealing 20 damage, a.k.a. "Delete your opponents TITAN". Seems alright.
Roaring Oceans: Insanely good board clear, and it goes FACE. Very flexible.
Shargahn's Wrath: Drawing 3 cards is nice, and shaman often struggles with draw. And this tutors overload cards, and tutoring certain cards is pretty good.
Overall Golganneth seems like a pretty decent TITAN that will see play in a bunch of shaman decks.
RNG is only fun as long as there is a 50/50 chance of getting something really good or trash level of bad. If RNG always results in something good, then it's not fun.
