Guess they thought it was too good with Unleash (+ Juggler) at 0 mana. Still seems a bit weird to go after this card when we've been living in the era of board-spreading decks, and even now the card is by no means an auto-include at 0 in a class considered underpowered relative to the rest of the meta.

Still playable, just a little puzzling.

This does actually intrigues me as to if control was too powerful in testing standard, I mean c'mon really 2x should still be auto include with all these big minions coming. and its easy to spare 1 mana for this.

"Hunter’s Mark is an important option for Hunters, but it’s too efficient at 0 mana."

yeah it is too efficient, that is why every hunter deck ran two copies of it. Kappa

 Well every midrange did. Face did not need to since owl solved every problem they had.

Blizzard must be really scared of Control Hunter. Next thing they do is nerf Gladiator's Longbow and Multi-Shot.

When is the last time you've witnessed a face hunter meta? And for that matter, how often do you see a face hunter playing mark? If anything, hunter class in general needs some serious help right now. I'd stll play this card in midrange, except that, realistically, midrange hunter is a casual deck, and face hunter also sucks, but less- since it actually does have some good (and even more horrible) matchups. I judst listened to .Firebat last night, who said that he was able to make every class deck  that is reliable enough to get top 100 legend... except hunter. Sad, really.

Meh. This card was never too oppressive anyways. Was a nerf really necessary?

this sucks! Other classes have way better 1mana cost removals. and this is not even 100% a removal! you need a secound card to kill anything.

They did nerf it for no reason. I don't remember anyone complaining about this card. It's a good card, that's all. Just like Backstab is a good card. Costs 0, so what?

Honestly, I'm not even mad. Finally Hunter's can have more than 1 spell that triggers Gazlowe and doesn't burn 2 cards

Meh.

I'ts okay. Hunters tended to play it when they have floating mana anyway. What this does it stop some lazy Steady Shot with left over 2 mana.

0 mana spells are something I'd be looking at when waving around the nerf bat.. but really, this instead of touching innervate? :S

I can get behind the hunters mark change but it really makes me sad other 0 mana spells weren't looked at.

and we have a winner for the most shocking nerf of standard 

This nerf was really unjustified, and unneeded. Hunters going into standard are going to be dead in the water, unless hunters get some really good combos its going to be a mess. Currently only 2 decks work with hunter face and midrange both aren't that good compared to competitors. The nerfs to neutral cards pretty much gutted aggro and midrange to an extent while buffing control and combo decks. 

With changes like this it makes you question if they have any idea what there doing with hunters. They are the only class that will be held to a single arch-type of midrange in a control and combo heavy meta. Nerfs like this make it even harder to compete against classes that are far better off. 

Think of it this way, hunters mark got nerfed, however equality did not, hunters mark is only for one minion and requires another card to be useful. Same can be said for equality except it hits all minions. 

So

Pyro+HM = 3 mana deal 1 damage aoe + 1 kill + 3/1 body 

Pryo+equality = 4 mana kill everything except shielded minions(Which paladins have more of then other classes)

How is one card a problem and the other isn't? Why can't blizzard actually fix the problem with hunters that is no card draw+no aoe, which is the only reason face hunter is popular. There idea to fix this is to latch it to random beast draws which are 50% complete duds.

this is the only nerf announced where I was like "aww, dang." but I get it, it's pretty nuts.

unexpected, but its fine this card in standard can be insane, now its okey

Gazlowe!!!

(yeah, it's only in wild, where else would I play Gazlowe?)

I often thought it was weird that this always cost less than Humility.
