Siamat is a legendary neutral minion card, from the Saviors of Uldum set.

Strategy
Siamat is an extraordinarily versatile card. Each combination makes him a strong card in various situations. These are his most useful forms:


 * Divine Shield + Rush will allow Siamat to remove a large minion and leave behind a guaranteed 6/6 body. Incidentally, this makes him perfect for removing an opponent's Siamat.
 * Divine Shield + Taunt will allow Siamat to act as a powerful wall, although this can make him vulnerable to single-target removal.
 * Rush + Windfury lets Siamat take out two minions, preferably two medium ones or a medium and large minion.
 * Divine Shield + Windfury can potentially set up a large amount of burst damage on your next turn. It's best to use this if you know your opponent is out of hard removal.

Doubling his Battlecry through Heart of Vir'naal, Spirit of the Shark or Brann Bronzebeard allows Siamat to acquire all four keywords.

Trivia

 * Siamat's flavor text is a reference to a 2015 thread on the /r/hearthstone subreddit in which a user set up a neural network to generate random Hearthstone cards, with many having nonsensical card text as a result. One of the cards, "Fre Engensar", had the text "Battlecry: Give a friendly minion Taunt. Taunt. Taunt. Taunt. Taunt. Taunt."
 * Siamat's artwork from the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game was used to depict the Zinaar boss from The League of Explorers adventure, long before Siamat himself was added.
