Power Overwhelming
Card Text
Give a friendly minion +4/+4 until end of turn. Then, it dies. Horribly.

We cannot even describe how horrible the death is. It's CRAZY bad! Maybe worse than that. Just don't do it.

There you go lol
It doesn't deserve to be in the wild, warlock decks aren't even a thing without it right now
Be patient :D and here you go now, unplayable Cube Lock - "Something Ends, Something Begins."
Not gonna miss this card tbh. I even played it myself lol
only card that deserved hall of fame was conceal. I hate losing all the other cards.
You nerfed this and you don't nerf Cold Blood ? it is always combo when it plays after a minion like leeroy or a charge or just anything! Cold Blood and power overwhelming is the same thing for OTK combo!
Couple things, I guess. PO gives you the Health buff which matters in control decks. Also, Rogue already lost Conceal. Not only that, but without Conceal, it's much less of a potent card. But yeah, maybe it will get HoF'd at some point too.

Because adding "this minion can't go face anymore" to those cards would be 2easy
YES! I agree. If we can't have this then get rid of Cold Blood. ITs basically the same exact thing if used like power overwhelming except its worse.., you can abuse charge, trade death rattles or enrage like a pro! EXCEPT if you survive you keep this plus the ENRAGED stats, abuse the charge stats etc for another turn! It is not the same as the warlocks are doing, this is a permanent stat. At least we suffer for the abuse, 1 mana for them stats is abuse, way too op, so we have to sacrifice the minion. You have the option of just perma buff with no drawback to make anything ridiculously big or buff big survive and keep it for a second exchange. Drop this on a charge or enrage minion, see how big something gets and it can trade a few times especially since you can use two cold blood, go face, then trade still, or whatever antics you are abusing with this card.
I am arguing on the principle because i don't even run power overwhelming that often but when I do use it, I just never thought it to be any bit more op than other classes staple combos or op tactics especially Cold Blood the BETTER version of this in most cases.
In other words, rogue has a very slim chance of being a teir 2 class in year of the mammoth. Lets ruin that too!
also, how does the health buff from power overwhelming matter? The minion dies anyway
It doesn t make sense. What s the point of +4 health?? It dies at the end of the turn.
I hate this card and I run zoolock 80℅ of the time
what happens if i cast this on Ragnaros the Firelord? (need it for the hp, have to use Hellfire).
Does he dies first or attack first?
missed the hammer again..
It's likely to get nerfed in spring of 2017. Zoo doesn't see much play currently so Blizzard nerfed Shaman, Hunter and Warrior this balance pass.
So since a lot of people are crying for a nerf to this card (Including myself,) I've come up with two possible nerfs that don't kill the card 100%.
Firstly, one problem with Power Overwhelming is that it's "drawback" of making the minion it buffs die at the end of the turn isn't really that much of a drawback as nowadays we have so many sticky deathrattle minions, so you want them to die anyway. One way to fix that is the card will silence the minion before giving the buff. That way, if you're using it on a buffed minion or a deathrattle, they're going to be set back to vanilla, so their effects don't trigger at the end of the turn.
The other nerf is just a regular buff reduction. However, I feel that this nerf isn't as good as it still has that synergy with deathrattles.
Silence it would make it even more OP. Think about a frozen giant "silene it to remove the ice and deal 12 damage to the face"
This shouldn't exist in warlock. Definitely needs nerf
Then rogue should lose their +4 for 1 mana too! How do you figure this should not exist, rogue should have it even less. This card is a perfect example of warlock antics, sure ill buff you mwhahahah, however the power will overwhelm you, and you'll die! But Not before you do my bidding... mwahahah FEL MAGIC BI@#$CHES Warlock does as it wills with its demons and creatures. Buffing unatrually is totally within the realm, did you not see the fight scene in the Warcraft movie? he's totally been using this card. Rogue can totally abuse Cold Bloodwith charge, enrage, deathrattle and so on, way worse than just a little deathrattle trade if you ask me.
