A few days after launching the Return to Naxxramas Mini-Set, Blizzard implemented Hearthstone patch 25.4.1. This update resulted in no more Colossal minions for players to discover after casting Blazing Transmutation on a minion.
“Fixed a bug where Colossal minions were in the Blazing Transmutation Discover pool,” Blizzard wrote ina post.

Blazing Transmutation, Gnoll, and Neptulon
This bug allowed Hearthstone players to cheat out a big minion without the need for a lot of mana. For example, if you had Goldshire Gnoll in your hand and increased the number of cards at hand, then the minion received a significant mana reduction.
By playing the new Blazing Transmutation spell from the Return to Naxxramas Mini-Set, it was possible for the Goldshire Gnoll to transform into a Colossal minion. Neptulon the Tidehunter was among this pool of minions that originated from theVoyage to the Sunken Cityexpansion.
A Colossal minion such as Neptulon the Tidehunter gave players a significant advantage since it summoned extra minions alongside itself. This card, in particular, summoned two appendages. Players also took advantage of Neptulon the Tidehunter’s Rush and Windfury keywords.
To top it all off, whenever the minion attacked, if you controlled any of Neptulon’s Hands, then those attacked instead. These two appendages were especially difficult to go up against because they had immunity while attacking an enemy.
