In deathrattle midrange hunter, having a Leper Gnome in hand when Forlorn Stalker gets played is part of the combo, and if Princess Huhuran gets played you can use the gnome as the effect target in a pinch. Turn 6 Gnome --> Princess is a decent combo if you don't have board presence otherwise. I guess what I'm saying is Leper Gnome will still be used for his deathrattle effect but other minions will be used in decks that don't combo w/ him.
One of the best nerfs by Blizzard. It can no longer trade up with 2 health minions but still provides the face damage for the people that ran it for that reason. I suspect we'll still be seeing our lil green friend after the nerf.
Aggro will still play this for the confirmed 2 damage, but the fact that this card will not trade into 3/2 and 2/2, and the fact that the chance for this card to stick to the board and do crazy amount of damage decreased, means that the toxicity of this card dropped considerably. Great nerf blizzard!
That will kill zoo, and will cause 0 attack creatures that want to trade to become almost unplayable (mostly the eggs). This nerf is more than enough to slow the early game damage of aggro.
One of the only reasonable nerfs. I still think it should've been 2/1 with DR deal 1 damage to the hero, but this is fine.
I agree, this would have been a more reasonable compromise. As is I don't see it getting much play, 1/1 body is pretty uninspiring, can't trade with anything but tokens.
Is it too imaginative to expect Leper's value to be that he sticks around on the board now? I can see many situations where people don't care about killing off the little guy.
barely makes a difference. Still worth in aggro, still good in raptor rogue
I tried having fun once. It was awful.
Deus é Mais, só isso que eu digo. Odeio face
I've got the beast in my sights!
Me to Blizz: "GIMME A BIG HUG"
"Meh". It's still a potential 3 damage charge, but I see Worgen Infiltrator being a better aggro 1 drop now.
I can hear Ben Brode laughing in the distance
Good nerf. Glad I won't being seeing this fuckface anymore.

This is bad.
This will make people greedy and create a Fatigue meta.
2 damage out, but also 8 heal out. The balance is 6 damage. SMOrc is forever.
hobgoblin buff!
saddest part is Indirect Mekgineer Thermaplugg nerf IMO
Why does Vicious Fledgling exist
