Template:Mark of the Spikeshell strategy
Mark of the Spikeshell provides a decent stat boost but also provides another copy of a Taunt into your hand allowing you to play more Taunt Cards.
Khartut Defender, Rotten Applebaum are great targets as it provides additional healing. Should you may be at low health, targetting any Taunt minions will divert some attacks into your hero.
Guff, the Tough is a very good target as its powerful Battlecry can be devestating while leaving another powerful 8/8 body.
