My first idea: an impatient Old Gods cultist. He can set up your game winning combo, but be careful, because your opponent gets their biggest minion too. In the early game, this will be a dead draw for both players. Either way, the game will inevitable end soon.
Personally? If I could magically wish for any deck out-of-the-gate, it would be something built around Miss Fortune because she just seems insane and fun. But that said: I've had the most fun in this game when I see what I open and then build around my collection, so I'm going to wait for my vault and some expedition runs before committing any resources.
I've warmed a little to this card after seeing how great some of the sea monster tribe is, but I'm still not impressed by it from a competitive point of view. I think he'll ultimately play out Vladimir or Shen: good enough to make some fun off-meta decks around, but you'll never see him in touraments.
His level 1 is not that terrible it can block against aggro boards the strongest unit.
No man, it's bad. Compare it to Braum: he's less than half the mana, regenerates, and he can challenge so he even helps on offense, yet he's one of the least-played champions because zero attack is just so bad. I will grant that perhaps it isn't as difficult as I imagined to get deep in which case his L1 stats don't matter as much, but if you're paying seven mana for a toothless blocker you're going to be extremely sad--even moreso with as many On Attack effects that this expansion is going to bring.
