Its an Evil Heckler guys. It "heckled" the devs into making it cost less mana.
Heckler. A heckler is a person who harasses and tries to disconcert others with questions, challenges, or gibes.
Yay! Finaly :)
oh wait...
Not power creep, since Booty Bay Bodyguard is a basic card. Same thing happens withIce Rager
It is literally a definition of Power creep. When devs release a new card, which is strictly better than old(basic) card.
If Booty Bay Bodyguard were of a higher rarity (common) then I would argue that yes, it is power creep. Blizz is trying to make it clear that the basic cards are just for starting out, since every player, new or old, may own it. Perfect example: War Golem and Dr. Boom.
power creep like this happens in magic all the time. there's always cards getting outclassed like this. you just call the old card crap and move on.
well magic is a physical card game with no real way of buffing old cards.
It takes just as much work to buff an old card as it does to make a new one. The former makes less money and makes the game less interesting. So, what would you honestly do?
imo they put this card as 4mana due to the new jousting mechanic they have put in so bootybay isnt strictly worse in all cases
Booty Bay helps you win Joust.
i agree. you actually get an upvote from which it looks like no one else has given you. happens in other tcgs all the time, you're right. there comes a point where you're kind stuck as a designer and just have to start making cards better. although, i do kinda agree that it may be a little soon for this kind of creep. but i'm okay with it. keep bringing us better cards, blizzard!
Booty Bay Bodyguard is obviously a better minion. When you Recombobulator booty bay you get a 5 drop, way better than some 4 drop crap from Evil Heckler
they should also design 10 mana argent squire 1/1 divine shield. XD for similar reasons.
So Booty Bay Bodyguard now has an almost playable version and people are screaming "powercreep" like this will break the game.
Stop overreacting. Do you see this card being an auto-include in all of the top tier decks? I say it's not a big deal.
TGT arena, choices choices...
Obviously BLOOD AND PLUNDER
Blingtron Arena Saturation, Duuh
To people that say this is just a power creep I have to say Booty Bay Bodyguard is a basic card and this is a Common card there is a difference. And creating a better version that you get thru packs just mean you have anther card to open up its not like you having bodyguard gives you an advantage because everyone has one
Umm... Lost Tallstrider? That's a common, not a basic, so by all means try to defend Evil Heckler while Lost Tallstrider exists. Besides, taunts usually always lose a stat point or two even at two mana. The only exception to this are the three one mana taunts and Target Dummy.
Even if they are basic cards, they should never be made obsolete. At least they did it right with Mechanical Yeti which ALSO gives the opponent a spare part so that Chillwind Yeti is still up for consideration. Here, Booty Bay and Lost Tallstrider now has a grave to dig each.
Lost Tallstrider is a beast. This is a similar argument to Knife Juggler vs. Puddlestomper.
