Which card(s) made you go 'holy shit thats a thing?' when you first started playing Hearthstone?
When I just started playing I learned all about Taunt, deathrattle, battlecry and charge.
Suddenly, my opponent plays this legendary with a fancy intro and shit and battlecry 'shuffle the map to the golden monkey in your deck'. I was like ok then now what? Then he draws the map, plays it and behold, I see this 6/6 monkey shuffled into his deck, its pretty cheap for its stats and has a lot of text that I can't read fast enough but its probably not important. Seems like a really complicated way to get a minion thats slightly better than other minions but whatever.
And then he plays the golden monkey. His entire hand and deck are now legendary minions? That completely blew my mind. How the fuck am I supposed to deal with that? Literally every single card in his deck is now some really big threat (I didnt realize that shitty legendary minions are a thing, I realized that when my first legendary in a pack was Nat, the Darkfisher :(
Honorable mentions for Reno Jackson 'hehe I won sweet wait what heal to full wtf how is that even a thing thats so unfair' and Entomb 'you used both of your shadow word: death, so I can play my Ct'hun without issues and WTF you can steal my shit and then play it yourself'.
So what card made you go 'wait thats a thing?'

Strangely enough, probably Bloodsail Raider. The first deck I had massive success with was Pirate Warrior and the fact I could get a 5/3 Pirate on T2 or a 7/3 Pirate after Reaper sort of blew my mind. I was excited by weird stuff I guess.
