I don't really see why this needed a nerf, it's not used in every deck. In comparison to spellbreaker now it doesn't really make any sense... Why would you ever run this now instead of that?
I was hoping that this card would have been totally reworked and the silence effect be removed from the card. we already have Spellbreaker as a neutral silence that should be used as the silence tech card.
As it is now ironbeak owl adds pretty much nothing of value to the game.
ovenerfed, needed more mana but with stat compensation, it was other op cards that make owl op, and now tirion is more op
I think thats better for the flavour of the game. Having legendary cards that are big important characters in Warcraft lore being more OP than random hunters or owls.
Dumb decision. If they at least had buffed the stats, but now the card won't see play ever again most likely. 3 mana is a commitment, meaning you can just as well play Sheep or Hex the 2/1 body is pretty worthless.
Also, if they up the budget of silence, why aren't Spellbreaker and Silence not being changed? They are inconsistent and don't understand that silence is terrible value in most circumstances.

well...well...it's an ok nerf, owl needed a bit of showing who's boss
If evolution is outlawed, only outlaws will evolve.
Finally Twilight Drake won't die in 1 turn, that is except shaman
Hello Spellbreaker !
p.s. so, they nerfed Keeper of the Grove, Ironbeak Owl? even Hunter's Mark, but didn't touch priest's Silence and Spellbreaker? Aw...
Was hoping silence as a mechanic would somehow be changed :/ but a nerf is a nerf....albeit one that isn't going to do much in the long run.

It would be better if they made it class specific. Spellbreaker is so much better now.
Thx Blizzard for another overdone nerf. Spellbreaker anyone?
Silence is 0 mana, but it's alone card. Earth Shock is 1 mana, but it deals 1 damage, and still this is alone card.
Spellbreaker is 4mana card with 3 mana body and silence effect. That all cocludes, that silence is worth not more than 1 mana as a battlecry.
But why we have Ironbeak Owl? 3 mana card with 1 mana body + silence effect, which is worth 2 here?
They should change the body to 2/2, then it could be nice nerf.
Have 2 golden, will dust both. Probably Spellbreaker will see more play now.
Works for me I guess.
I'm here to kick ass and play cards, and I'm all out of ass.
Well, this hurts Face Hunter! So I'm glad! I still think it should not be a Beast anymore, but oh well.

This is a buff for Shaman because Earth Shock only 1 mana. In any deck that is not Aggro there will be no sight of this card ever againt

Not enough.
I love it! Feels like a more appropriate costed minion. Still may be included as a tech card, but loses a tad bit of versatility.
They need to remove this card and all cheap silences that do not cost a minimum of 4 mana
Still playable. 3 mana Owl is still better than running Spellbreaker most of the time.
Still good in face hunter since it activates kill command.
