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.
A key card in Charity Warlock. Great for helping your opponent win.
instead of a mana crystal it should just give them a coin, that would be more reasonable
Blizzard, please. Ressurect the card.
Suddenly it makes more sense now. He is what arcane dust is made from.
It is even blue in colour(Rare colour gem )
Wolfrider meta incoming
Good job of destroying this card... No more use for anyone now.
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!
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.
last time i saw it was when i had two leoks on my own board
This card was balanced by the same guy who thought that Demonfuse was a good idea. GOOD JOB BLIZZ.
why no 5/4?
It would at least trade mostly all 4drops
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..)
this is definitely dust.... some others maybe... but this... dust
I don't like this nerf. Without charge this card is boring.
It would have been perfect as a 4/5 in my opinion
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.
Hello darkness my old friend, I've come to talk with you again... Say hello from us to Warsong Commander. Your dust will be well used.
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.
