I feel like they're not trying to replace Sludge Belcher so much as generally make up for all the Deathrattle minions lost with Naxx and GvG. It doesn't look great, but I don't really expect much from Common cards anymore...
Well, just because they are common doesnt mean they should be bad.
Sounds like they may have changed their mind on the mana value of death rattle effects. Previously they tended to be valued at half the cost of playing the deathrattle, but this seems to be a 1:1 ratio.

Well it's true so far.. but we only got 2 deathrattles so far and they are both from common cards so who knows.. I think they want to weaken deathrattles in general.
Edit: 2/2 slime doesn't have taunt huh? still has a 4/5 value senjin is better in my opinion.
Its really a 2/5.5
How much its Health is actually worth is debatable but you cant just add the attack values of a deathrattle minion like that because only 2 attack is ever on the board at a time. By that logic Divine Shield minion stats should be counted the same way, which they aren't because that would be ridiculous. You would never call Shielded Minibot a 2 mana 4/3 because that tells you nothing about how the card actually plays out or what it does. Shielded Minibot is a 2 attack minion and regardless of whether or not it has divine shield it always has 2 attack.
As it is, this card doesn't look very good. Compare it to Harvest Golem and you see that you're essentially paying 1 mana for half a taunt and to make the deathrattle token resistant to ping classes.
Harvest Golem doesn't see play. It saw early on but now, even in standard, there are better 3-drop options for every class. This card is Harvest Golem for one more mana so it won't see play.

This card is so bad... Holy shi*!
Even if the slime had taunt this card would still not be great.
If the slime only had taunt...
Seems good for Raptor Rouge for standard
Lion King: Alternate Ending ;3
About on par with Mogu'shan Warden, probably slightly worse even.
OK people stop comparing to sludge Belcher. That's not a card anymore.
So this is how balanced shredder supposed to look:)
Though 4-5 with taunt not so great if you are not planning to abuse deathratle.
I think it should have 3-3 or 2-4 stats.
Looks like just any other card, simply created to fill the set

Has synergy with the new priest legendary
Would not play this over a Harvest Golem.

Both Chillwind Yeti and Sen'jin Shieldmasta trade with this and survive. Also, this is a perfect target for Cabal Shadow Priest. Usually I'm wait and see on most cards, but this one seems pretty bad.

I like this powered-down Shredder/Belcher guy. I don't care what anyone says about him!
Finally we get the answer of : " what happens if piloted and Sluge have children together?"
Looks kinda bad for a 4 drop. Seriously, there are better 2-drops for those stats
Damn you snowboarders!
Lol the difference between this 4 drop from TWOG and good old Piloted Shredder is nuts.
Bad Belcher reprint is bad
