The title says it all. Goblin Blastmage is op. no doubt about it. 4 mana 5/4 body with a 4 damage split proc. It can be dropped, clear minions and then trade evenly with a brand new yeti for the same cost. If someone suggested that as a new card on the forum, people would flame that thread for coming up with a stupid and OP card.
Class cards are better than neutral counterparts. That doesn't mean it is OP.
I wish people would stop whining for nerfs simply b/c they lose to a card. Learn to anticipate your opponent's play. You can nerf all the cards you want, there will be something that appears OP to you. Either that or the game will get boring.
I didn't compare it to any other cards with the exception of the yeti for obvious reasons (Yeti is a Staple Strong Card (4/4/5)) I'm not mad because I lose to it, I'm mad because its broken when I use it. it's unfair.
ZZZZZzzzzzzzz... It's always the same. A random guy makes a thread in the forum and calls a minion OP, then some persons get angry about the fact that he did that (although they don't have to read it), then some other persons try to make a serious discussion about this minion with the conclusion that they don't know what Blizzard should do. Then the next person opens a new thread with the same theme and... ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzz...

Blizzard have their own forums. Go ask them. I do assure that there is no blizzard developer searching these forums to answer questions from their players.
And my own answer to your statement, Goblin Blastmage won't be nerfed. It's a good class card for mage. Like every class has some cards that are stronger under certain circumstances.

lol i've noticed this as well
Yes it is very boring and also annoying. We are not Blizzard's balance team so all these salty threads are pointless. No matter how many people complain here, nothing will change, and more often than not they are also wrong. Lazy to think or learn, instead open a pointless thread. Not to mention that all these threads so far were opened by low ranked players who first should learn to play properly before thinking that they can judge how balanced every card is, when they can't even get to legend with the class/deck they call OP. People should make threads about how to play, that's what the forum is about. There used to be so many good threads about deckbuilding or strategy, nowadays most threads are like this. This is more annoying than chugga chugga chugga!
only aggro ever complain against gb mage, i have a solutiom for you, what about if you stop brainlessly dumping your leper gnome/webspinner/knife juggler hand and play around the blastmage.

What the fuck? That comparison makes no sense, Face Hunter BEATS Mech Mage.
Are you a mech mage main moronically raging against this guy to justify your low self esteem?
Blastmage is currently broken. I have heard several professional streamers mention this fact as well. It currently has great value with very little downside(needing a mech to activate the 4 split damage). It passes the vanilla test WITHOUT the 4 damage as a 5/4 4 drop. I understand that it is a class card but it is the best value 4 drop in the game and it isn't even a legendary. Either raise the cost or reduce the stats/dmg it does.

Well, I for one believe that Goblin Blastmage is slightly OP. However, I also don't believe it needs to be nerfed. Some cards in the game need to be a little overpowered, it's what makes the game fun.
That being said, Blizzard IMO actually does a pretty damn good job keeping cards relatively balanced. It may take them a little while, but if a card is simply too powerful, Blizzard will change it.

Best value 4-drop of the game. Piloted Shredder often brings more to the table since it will normally summon a 2/2 and attacking twice. It is also a neutra card, while Blastmage is a class card, meaning that not everyone have access to it. Piloted Shredder will always bring more value just by being a strong neutral card, while Blastmage is limited to mage.
You may to compare it to Auchenai Soulpriest. Auchenai Soulpriest enable for a 4 AoE costing no mana (Circle of Healing) and is a class card, with one less health, while enabling the Priest hero power to target everything on the table. It is probably the same value as the Goblin Blastmage. Does Auchenai Soulpriest needs a nerf ? Nobody thinks so.

Well... it depends on whoever have the edge on the start. It is stated by many websites as 50/50 matchup.

According Magic Amy's tier list this week it's 40/60 advantage for hunter.

I completely disagree. Blastmage makes an immediate impact on the board often killing one or more minions immediately, whereas Shredder can be silenced or give you a worthless card. Blastmage gives u the same thing each time. Auchenai requires another card for the combo, and leaves you with a 3-1 card after use.

One list out of many. Still 40/60 is not what I would call a staple automatic iwn.

Blastmage require a mech to make his immediate impact. So I completley disagree with the often killing one or more minions. It need a mech card to bring his battlecry, otherwise it is a 5/4 with no battlecry.
You put emphasis on worthless card for Shredder... come on... it won't give a worthless card each time it dies. Normally, it'll drop something that can attack. Yep Auchenai requires a card for the combo... what about dropping it on turn 6 and killing a specific target with the hero power. No need to have the mech to enable the battlecry... always providing value in this case where Blastmage is all about RNG.
Blastmage is a strong card. But you need to include it in a Mech deck... otherwise Water Elemental serves better purpose for other mages decks.

It isn't OP and it isn't going to get changed any time in the foreseeable future. </thread>

Mechmage is extremely strong but not broken so I see no reason to nerf it.
I didn't compare it to any other cards with the exception of the yeti for obvious reasons (Yeti is a Staple Strong Card (4/4/5))
I'm not mad because I lose to it, I'm mad because its broken when I use it. it's unfair.

Never. It is not OP. You are welcome.

i can see it being good even at 5 mana ..
