The Maw

The Maw is an Act 3 encounter. Its scaling over time both through buffing and its attacks increasing in intensity combined with its big health pool can make it a threat for decks with poor offense. Its scaling takes a particularly long time to ramp up to dangerous levels, however.
== Pattern ==
Always starts with Roar. 
After using Roar or Drool, the Maw has a 50/50 chance of using Slam or Nom its next turn.

* decks supported by or that dish out high amounts of quickly are also effective. However, alone is probably not enough to overcome the Maw's scaling attacks.
