- The minion summoned can be any two-cost minion that is collectible. It does not summon from your deck. (Source)
Deathrattle: Summon a random 2-Cost minion.
Once upon a time, only goblins piloted shredders. These days, everyone from Doomsayer to Lorewalker Cho seems to ride one.

People would actually sometimes run Millhouse Manastorm. Maybe.
This card is cancer. It's too good to not play in virtually every deck, yet it's completely RNG what minion you get. It makes the game less about skill and you can't just ignore a common card that is as good as a legendary.
Yeah. At first I thought it was just "okay" of a card, basically a 5/5 Yeti that splits it's damage into two cards.
Today, I lost a 4/3 piloted shredder and got a Succubus...which is a 4/3. That's 8/6 for 4 cost....and none of it can even be targeted by control priest except by silence in the turn that the Deathrattle hasn't been triggered.
I thought Grim Patron was pretty OP but...at least you can ONLY put him in Warrior decks. This shit...this is absurdly valuable and has easily replaced the Yeti as the most valuable 4-drop minion.
Played in 29% of decks, Dr Boom is played in 36% of decks. Pretty close
Probably the most overpowered and broken card in the game right now.
And yes, it is in 99% of the cases ALWAYS better than Yeti. Let say it you play it on turn 4. 4 mana 4/3 with a scary deathrattle, kinda like a common Sylvanas right? And in this case, the worst case scenario, it drops a 1/1 captains parrot, making the total value of the Shredder a 4 5/4.
On par with Yeti.
But it gets better, it always requires two actions to remove. Lets say you have a 4/4 and and a 2/1 out as a Warlock. You cant run a 4 attack minion to immediately remove this 5/4, in fact, you have to first trade in your 4/4 to remove the Shredder, and then his 1/1 will remove your 2/1 with a perfect trade.
This 5/4 thus went 2-for-1, clearing your board, even though you already had a 4 attack minion out.
And of course, you are far more likely to get a 3/2 out of it than a 1/1, making shredder a 4 mana 7/5 with absolutely NO drawback.
balanced right?
Silencing a shredder isnt a good idea because more decks dont run more then 2 silences. Getting a doomsayer isnt too bad because it will clear the enemy board as well as yours so you will be the player with the first minion on the board. Ancient watch is rather sad but if you run either defender or sunfury it can be fine.
The card is just so much value for 4 mana, perhaps too much value. It could be something like a 3/3 and still be fine.
Yeah but the drawbacks are so minimal and not too common that it basically has none. Its like a 1 in 30 to get a doomsayer or something
Baiting a silence is in and of itself very valuable and can be a great tempo swing as a 4 drop
op
One of the best cards
I hate when Mech Mages get a Mechwarper ... or, if you face them with Warrior, they get Annoy-o-Tron ... GG
I hate that card because it's too good to pass, but it has lost me many games because of Lorewalker Cho and Doomsayer. Hopefully I can play Hungry Dragon decks in the future instead.
me too, looks hot inside his mouth
This gave my opponent a Lorewalker Cho earlier today. Equality + Swipe (his) wiped his board twice in that game.
This is a official Ancient Watcher summoner for me. I think blizzard has some code or something for my account: "Shredder will give only and only ancient watcher on this account. nothing else. just ancient watcher"
I swear this card only ever gives me shit. Does it only spawn cards that you own or am I rolling a d20 where all the sides are painted with the number 1?
Got 4 of these guys in an arena deck and 3 consecrations. Going at least 8/3.
To me this is the Nat Pagle summoner. 3 times in a row for me then opponent got it in a later game.
I absolutely love the randomness of card's like this. Got to expect anything :D
I always laugh at his name and portrait. Relaxed fisher dude.
Apart from Nat I seem to always get Doomsayer, Cho, or Ancient watcher when playing Oil Rogue. fml
When I get doomsayer with a burst rogue its just amazing (unless i have cards on the field)
