I don't see it being used much anymore. Even in aggro you want your 1-drop with 2 damage so it can take out juggler, apprentice, flame imp (eh), and any other 3/2. Probably better than Argent Squire but I'd still rather play a 1 mana 2/1 like Worgen or maybe even Deckhand.
The card is 1 mana 2/1. It can trade with most low cost mana creature since they have 2 health. On top of being able to trade, this card deal additional 2 damage to the hero. This card has the potential to deal 4 dmg on turn 1. How is this card not OP?
Leper gnome is the best 1 mana neutral creature. We are talking about non-class specific creature that can deal 4 dmg to hero face for 1 mana.
Dealing 2 damage to face is nowhere near the same as dealing 2 damage to a target of your choosing. By your logic mindblast is the most broken card in the game when you compare it to things like fireball, frostbolt etc.
Hell why are we even debating facts? Just take a look at what sort of decks currently run leper gnome.
Retarded nerf. The card was fine the way it was before.
Where is the dislike button?

I've seen people asking for nerfs on ANYTHING. If Blizzard one day decides to actually pay attention to the community and starts nerfing as requested, we are going to have a game with only wisps. And still someone would say wisp is op. I'm not even kidding.
By the way, I hope all of you people who believe this is the way blizzard should be handling aggro enjoy getting hit in the face with wolfriders when face shaman becomes the best deck in the game with most anti aggro cards gone.

I think the main reason for the change is because more deathrattle related synergy is coming out. It was already solid as is, and would have probably gone too far with the addition off all the new deathrattle trigger cards. It wasn't really an issue now, but likely would have become one in the future (or else may have been one of the cards to hinder new card design).

He cannot challenge 2-cost minioins now, garbage.
'He really just wants to be your friend,' - My answer - 'nope!'
Finally he doesn't trade with two drops!

What a time to be aliiiiive.
People will still play this in their aggro decks though but it won't be killing important 2 drops.

I think 2/1 body with deathrattle of 1 dmg would be better. Probably. Because it's still guaranteed 2 damage to the enemy.
You will probably disagree with me, but I don't rly care. That's my vision of perfect Leper Gnome.
Aggro brings balance to the game, why the fuck do blizzard have to remove all its resources?
Better nerf shield slam and control shit.
Good nerf. Still has the 2 damage to hero but becomes just a 1/1 otherwise.
what ? that nerf will turn into a buff, just wait and see
If evolution is outlawed, only outlaws will evolve.
nice nerf just as i wanted, is not going to kill the card, Abusive Sergeant need the same treatment
I feel icky, no really I feel icky I was nerfed.
Finally!

Now it is truly: Fair and Balanced.

More free dust. I'll take it, lol.
