Lore

Sneed was a goblin formerly found in the Deadmines, serving as  Edwin VanCleef's lumbermaster. He was one of the earlier bosses of the instance, climbing into his shredder to assault anyone who dared venture into his chamber.

The shredder is an impressive goblin mechanical creature which is usually piloted by a goblin. Shredders are used for lumbering, but they can serve in war because of the solid metal construction of the machine and the great saws they wield. The first machine designed to mimic the humanoid form, goblin shredders use the steamsaws attached to their arms to cut down lumber at an incredible rate that is unmatched by peasant work crews.

Trivia

  • This card's Deathrattle Summon effect is intended to depict the shredder's pilot hitting the "big shiny red eject button" and parachuting onto the field to continue the fight.[1] The controls for Sneed's Old Shredder are described as being sufficiently tricky that "only a Legendary minion could possibly master them", hence explaining why the minion summoned is always legendary.[1]
  • Previously, this card's Deathrattle was capable of summoning another Sneed's Old Shredder.[2] However, a change in an Hotfixes#2020-08-13 hotfix August 2020 hotfix prevented cards from generating copies of themselves, making this impossible.
  • One of the strongest and most improbable Sneed's sequences recorded in actual play is  Unstable Portal -> Sneed's -> Sneed's -> Sneed's ->  Kel'Thuzad, with a total likelihood of 1 in 109,477,732.[3]
