Iron Juggernaut

Iron Juggernaut is a legendary warrior minion card, from the Goblins vs Gnomes set. Its Battlecry generates a Burrowing Mine and shuffles it into the opponent's deck.

Strategy
This card's effect gets stronger the longer the game does on, since the chance of drawing the Burrowing Mine increases as well. This applies even against decks that can shuffle more cards into their decks. Its effectiveness can be further improved with Augmented Elekk and Brann Bronzebeard, potentially shuffling three additional Burrowing Mines.

Iron Juggernaut is a strong target for cards that can use its Battlecry multiple times, such as Brann Bronzebeard, and return effects like Youthful Brewmaster, Time Rewinder or Dream, or even Dead Man's Hand, allowing the player to repeatedly add Burrowing Mines to the opponent's deck. The huge amount of damage from Burrowing Mine makes it very difficult for decks without large amounts of healing or armor to survive over time.

Burrowing Mine can be an effective way of defeating a mage using Ice Block. Since secrets can only activate on the opponent's turn, provided the Mine is drawn on the mage's own turn, Ice Block will not be activated, and so will not prevent the damage.

Trivia

 * Along with Flame Leviathan, Trade Prince Gallywix, and Vol'jin, this card was leaked long before it was supposed to be revealed. Due to their very unique effects, many players believed the leaked cards to be a hoax. The Iron Juggernaut was also originally a 6/6 minion, and the only one of the four to be changed later on (to a 6/5).
