There's also no reason for you to play this card so I don't see the big problem. If anything you should be complaining about how this card is trash and the slot could have been used for an actually good or at least interesting card.
No one was playing Booty Bay Bodyguard or Lost Tallstrider seriously, and this was an attempt to make a 5/4 viable in some way. It's good that Blizzard isn't leaving certain concepts in the dust.
Doesn't really count as a power creep because all the stuff they did obvious creeps on were trash cards and the creeped cards are still trash so its harmless.
Power creep is the gradual unbalancing of a game due to successive releases of new content.[1] The phenomenon may be caused by a number of different factors and, in extreme cases, can be damaging to the longevity of the game in which it takes place.
The Basic set of the game is allowed to be outclassed. In fact, most basic set card have literally always been bad. (BBB and Magma Rager were always widely regarded as some of the worst minions in the game.)
This they could have just changed the stats on magma rager and booty bay bodyguard. Instead they are now purely inferior to 2 released cards. These 2 new cards are wastes.
There are so many "random minion", "random minion that cost X" Arena, that the existance of each card matters in a sense.. I think there's a big change mostly in arena in this expasion also affects tavern brawl.
The card sucked anyway.. it's a basic card they need to suck for some reason there's barely any basic card being played.
Booty Bay Bodyguard powercreep OP better than Dr boom
This game isn't a healthy place anymore
Ice rager is powercreep too
I wouldn't really count it as powercreep if it still isn't good enough to see play in constructed.
There isn't a single reason to keep booty bay in the game anymore, it doesn't affect the gameplay but it still completely destroys a card
Booty Bay Bodyguard was under curve. Still powercreep but w/eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee $$$$$$
Have a great deck that's really, really cheap? Help the new players out

Well of course, ice is just much better than magma.

Is powercreep means there is better card and less mana ? Ice rager , magma rager and bbb , evil heckler ?

I don't like obvious powercreep even these cards will not see constructed plays.
If Blizzard thinks Magma Rager and Booty Bay Bodyguard are not correctly valued, which they aren't, buff them instead.

Keep in mind Magma Rager and BBB are from
coreBasic set. Getting better cards out of packs to replace the core set cards makes sense to me.The Basic set of the game is allowed to be outclassed.
