It's still going to be in every single aggro deck ever since it's almost guaranteed 2 damage for 1 mana while creating a creature. Still, a very needed change.
this is good nerf, turn 1 lepper gnome on empty table was really overwpowered. However now it is not still playable. It is guaranteed 2 damage with 1 attack. Sergant is guaranteed 2 damage (if you have something on board) with 2 attack and also it can really help with good trade, so it is much-much better. Lepper gnome is just 1 damage better compared to boar or elven archer but both of them can be good addition for profitable trades, so I think they are on same power level now.
2/1 that deals 1 damage would be better. No aggro deck can afford to play a 1/1 for 1, you'd get wrecked in tempo, and aggro decks care a lot about early tempo.
Agree with the nerf but it does buff aggro pally with Steward of Darkshire so it will be lots of pally cancer decks at the start of wotog. Thanks Blizz lol

But some decks can somehow afford to play a 1/1 for 2 with Jeweled Scarab?

Retarded nerf. The card was fine the way it was before.
not it wasnt.
It was only used in a very specific type of deck(reckless aggressive decks). You didn't see it anywhere else, not even not completely all in aggro(zoo, tempo mage, etc). Even in the decks that used it, it was never a game winning card if you got it on turn 1, it was simply a good one drop for decks that didn't care much for anything other than killing their opponent.
Please give me a good reason why the card was overpowered that doesn't relate to "LOLZ FUCK AGGRO NUBZ".
The card is 1 mana 2/1. It can trade with most low cost mana creature since they have 2 health. On top of being able to trade, this card deal additional 2 damage to the hero. This card has the potential to deal 4 dmg on turn 1. How is this card not OP?
Leper gnome is the best 1 mana neutral creature. We are talking about non-class specific creature that can deal 4 dmg to hero face for 1 mana.
Expecting this nerf ! i wonder if he will still see play in standard..
why nerf this and not abusive?
leper gnome is pretty much the same card as abusive, southsea (with a weapon) and worgen.
why nerf leper gnome and not these? abusive is a much stronger card
Nice, I've 7 of this one plus a golden one
HELL YES BLIZZARD YOU DOING SHIT RIGHT

Expected nerf for him. Shit happens. Still playable
It should have also only dealt one damage as a deathrattle, but still a good nerf.
Facehunter will still play it, but at least it won't be in every aggro deck imaginable. And there was much rejoicing.
Make the Card: The biggest thread on the site!
My mandibles which are capable of pressing down and tearing, my talons which are known to intercept and hold.
Playable in Hunter, I guess.
It doesnt trade with 3/2 and doesnt deal that much damage to classes that remove it with the face. Best nerf imo

was hoping this will not get nerf but well still strong 1 drop
Maybe an overnerf?
