Template:Obsidian Statue strategy
Obsidian Statue's powerful combination of Taunt, Lifesteal and a very potent Deathrattle makes it an incredibly difficult minion for your opponent to deal with. Its Taunt effect makes it very likely to activate its Lifesteal and Deathrattle and its high health makes it great for trading down into lower cost minions.
Buffing its health with cards like 
Power Word: Shield , 
Kabal Talonpriest and Divine Spirit makes it even more durable, and using Inner Fire on it makes it an 8/8, which can get immense Lifesteal value in the late-game.
Cards that resurrect such as 
Eternal Servitude or 
Onyx Bishop are very effective on Obsidian Statue, especially in combination with cards that cheat it out earlier like Barnes or Shadow Essence.
