Twin Emperor Vek'lor

Twin Emperor Vek'lor is a legendary neutral minion card, from the Whispers of the Old Gods set.

Strategy
Provided your C'Thun has at least 10 attack, this card can prove a very powerful way in establishing board control. In case of emergency, and if your C'Thun has less than 10 attack, you could still play this card as a single Emperor.

One of the best possible combinations is by playing this card with Brann Bronzebeard if C'Thun has at least 10 attack, which basically makes one 2/4 minion and three 4/6 Taunt minions for 10 mana; a great way to take control of the battlefield in one turn with only 2 cards.

Trivia

 * When they were first designing the set, The League of Explorers set had not yet been released, and the designers weren't sure if Reno Jackson decks would prove strong enough; Vek'lor was therefore originally designed to support Reno decks, by summoning Twin Emperor Vek'nilash provided the player had no duplicate cards in their deck. When Reno decks began to perform very well in the meta, the designers decided not to strengthen that deck type any further, and changed Vek'lor into a C'Thun card.
 * In World of Warcraft, the lines of the are actually reversed: Vek'lor says "come, little ones" and Vek'nilash says "the feast of souls begins now".
