April 2016 Card Nerf
It was announced on April 20th, 2016 that Arcane Golem would receive a nerf.
- No longer has Charge.
- Health increased to 4, up from 2.
Quote from BlizzardCharge is an ability we’ve learned to use sparingly. Arcane Golem has been a staple in many aggressive and ‘one turn kill’ combo decks, and its drawback is rarely relevant. We’re addressing both issues by removing Charge and increasing Arcane Golem’s Health, while leaving its drawback. Arcane Golem will now be a 3 mana 4/4 with Battlecry: Give your opponent a Mana Crystal.

Posted Jan 19, 2017 (Gadgetzan)instead of a mana crystal it should just give them a coin, that would be more reasonable

Posted Apr 25, 2016 (Old Gods)They should have given it taunt. I know guaranteed 3 mana Huffer with minor downside is too good, but now this isn't even Misha!

Posted Jul 9, 2016 (Old Gods)Ok yeah a three cost 4/4 taunt might see use, even with the "give the other guy a mana crystal" downside.
Of course past turn 10 it's moot.

Posted Apr 21, 2016 (Explorers)why no 5/4?
It would at least trade mostly all 4drops

Posted Apr 21, 2016 (Explorers)this card might not be that bad in shamen's deck overall...
considering that there is the card that change a 2 cost minion to 3 costs can change a 2/2 into a 4/4, which is amazing
but I can't see it working in other decks... (and won't be in the shamen deck, but can give a value from just being a card..)

Posted Apr 20, 2016 (Explorers)They had such easy ways to fix these cards 3 mana 4/4 "give your opponent an extra mana crystal next turn" .. wow easy, balanced.. maybe even a playable card. But now it's just awful. Whatever.

Posted Apr 20, 2016 (Explorers)What are you gonna use your 200 dust for? I'm saving mine with the rest of the nerf dust and putting it into two Classic Legendaries I'm missing.
