April 2016 Card Nerf
It was announced on April 20th, 2016 that Leper Gnome would receive a nerf.
- Attack reduced to 1, down from 2.
Quote from BlizzardLeper Gnome is powerful for its cost, finds its way into almost every aggressive deck, and requires no further deck building decisions to be effective. We’d like other 1 mana minions to be more compelling, so we’re reducing its Attack from 2 to 1.

Rip real aggro
MAKE WAY FOR FIERY BAT!!!!!
Rest in pieces.
Goodnight sweet, nerfed prince
in case anyone is still playing this Card, what are you doing? its so bad
I'm getting wrecked by hunter with this card
Well, now Worgen Infiltrator is better
Your eyes are amazing.
id have made the deathrattle hit for 1 damage too but i just hate aggro
I would have liked to see this at (2) mana and still a 2/1.
An okay nerf tho. not unplayable....
1/2 woulda been better too... Ugh. Blizz just hits too hard....
RIP Mekgineer Thermaplugg
They should buff Mekgineer Thermaplugg now. Not very important but still.
Christmas in April
Enjoy undertaker's company
Nobody is going to silence a 1/1 who does 2 damage except in EXTREME circumstances, or Mass Dispel.
You didn't play against enough facehunters recently, don't ya? What else will you silence there with you turn two owl?
it is still good, since its at most a 1 mana, 3 dmg to the face; at the worst 1 mana, 2 dmg to the face. still good for aggro deck.. since good 1 drops like worgen infiltrator will do at most 2 damage to the face anyway
agreed
That would nerf the Unearthed Raptor combo deck at the same time, which I'd be pretty fine with.
= Feels Bad Gnome (no space)
