It's really obvious that they knew this card would be OP, but intentionally did so to make Shaman more popular. But hell, did they got overboard with it. Even with overload (10) it would still be played.
Currently about 50% of the ladder consists of aggro Shamans, and if they drop this guy on turn 4 (or 3 with coin) the game is pretty much over about 80% of the time. Power word: Death is one of the very few good counters for it in standard. Otherwise he usually hits your face for at least 14 damage, or you have to trade at least 3 minions into him.
Fuck this brain-dead-no-strategy-involved card. Seriously. And the worst part is that Dr Boom was at least not that usefull in aggro decks, while this one definitely is. If they give this card the Dr Boom treatment and ignore all our complaints for the next 2 years, Standard format will suck for the next 2 years.
Bytheway I like the rest of the expansion, gg Blizz
Druid...well they just play their 7 drop on turn 3.
Warlocks have PO.
Priest SWD
Paladin Aldor
(Lol always forget one class) but they have some countercards as well I suppose. I mean if you don't play any of these cards, you are some kind of aggro player
It's literally the only big threat that face shaman has so use your big target removal on it. I swear people just hate on the latest flavor of the week because it forces them to think differently in a new meta
Sorry, but you will need to run removal. Taunt also works wonders against this minion. I run this deck and I do sincerely appreciate that Defender of Argus is not very popular. Especially because it spoils the Doomhammer as well.
Complain more about a card that is really easy to counter!! that is why the game receive stupid nerfs!

"We should make a special section for people playing stricly in Wild. Like those parking lot for people with a handicap. We clearly respect them while showing them the easy to comfort them"
To those that say to use Naturalize. If you use Naturalize in turn 4, you're pretty much screwing your following turns. Yep, the shamy will be in a bad position in the next turn, but the card advantatge he will gain will allow him to get the pieces of the Doomhammer + Rockbiter Weapon, which could cost you the game.
BGH is good answer even nerfed. i regularly make use of BGH especially in druid. another decent card is mulch (because most of the time they will lose tempo on board and get worse minion than FF in their hand)
Blizzard, I'm begging you, PLEASE nerf this shithead Flamewreathed Faceless.

Hunters should play Hunter's Mark nowadays
Warriors always execute
Shamans Hex
Rogue Sap
Druid...well they just play their 7 drop on turn 3.
Warlocks have PO.
Priest SWD
Paladin Aldor

Just remember the good times!
Execute, Aldor/Humility, Hex, Freezing Trap/Hunter's Mark, Sap, Polymorph, Shadow Word: Death.
All options for 4 or less mana to stop it. I guess only Druids and Warlocks are screwed, but they can play BGH.
How about nerfing yourself and going into the oblivion so that we don't have to read such pointless threads anymore?

If you know you are going to face it then make changes to your deck accordingly, duh.

Free to try and find a game, dealing cards for sorrow, cards for pain.
These scrub whining posts should be locked and deleted unless they have "[Scrub]" in the title.
He actually has point, the aggro shaman deck is in its own tier right now, but the meta will stabilize and it will lose its punch.

Druids could start running mulch in the worst case scenario
Having a good time with the meta.

Time is money, friend.
