Thanks for tagging me here, Dave - yes, , the stats are massive but as you may have noticed in the modern meta that damage output is also at an all-time high; making Gottem, in my opinion, a necessary counterbalance to that. And if you are expecting him, there are definitely ways to wipe him from the board in a hurry.
It's also important to note that we are largely entering uncharted territory. Gottem is one of the biggest cost mana monsters in the game and, aside from Rage, we've never explored the mid-double digit mana cost & stat balancing. I was convinced that, prior to his release, Rage was going to break things, but even putting up to 11 magic damage on the board with that card, it didn't happen.
