Skeram Cultist

Skeram Cultist is a rare neutral minion card, from the Whispers of the Old Gods set.

Strategy
Despite granting C'thun a decent buff, this is one of the weaker C'thun minions. It has slightly worse stats than Boulderfist Ogre, and aside from a small C'thun buff, lacks any abilities once it enters play. There are a few better alternatives, such as Crazed Worshipper, who has Taunt and the ability to buff C'thun multiple times for one less mana, or Doomcaller, who provides a better body, the same kind of buff, and a very powerful ability for only two more mana.
