Oh boy, the creative minds over at Blizzard must have been wracking their brains trying to come up with this one. Such genius! Very stats. Much flavor. Probably a lot of sleepless nights "Do we make it a 2/2 for 1? A 2/3 for 2? A 3/2 for 2? A 3/3 for 3? Which ones don't we have already..."

LUL wut? Huge Toad, Tinyfin, Fossilized Devilisaur, Eerie Statue top tier cards now bois!
BRM only gets a pass because of Dragon synergy.
Calling tinyfin a filler - Shame on you.
Seriously - huge toad is just a better card - beast and 1 ping is just better than taunt (the fact is that it is played in hunter). Tinyfin is 0 mana and murloc, so it's a bit unique. devilsaur is kind of filler, but it isn't vanilla card. And Eerie statue is the opposite of filler - unique card (and it was played in silence decks).
It's fine to have this card in the card pool, mostly for arena, but I agree it's no a good adventure card. Maybe it just fits Karazhan's theme?
I like it a lot. 2/3s suck these days as they don't trade well enough. It's not incredible, but it might be the tiny drop that tips a fair amount of "almost" decks into "fun".

Tinyfin is literally a garbage filler Murloc that's only reason for existing is to make Murloc Knight worse!!
Yeah, I said it!!!
Also Toad is played in Hunter because its an Aggressive 2 drop Beast, the ping simply better than no effect at all. This card can be much the same, something to do on turn two that at least blocks your face and can get good to even trades. The facts is in a field of mediocre options, a mediocre card like this is . . well . . . mediocre.
Won't see much play in ladder other than as a card for new players. Can't see this card being played outside of the rare occurrence of a Bolster warrior uses this in their deck.
In Arena seems pretty good as a low drop. Not only is it a 2 mana 3/2 which is arguably better than a 2/3 but it has taunt on top of that. Might not matter early game where trading usually happens (unless they play greedy) but taunt is still pretty valuable.
Waste of a card slot. I think it's fine if they release bad cards, AS LONG AS THEY ARE FUN OR INTERESTING. How do some people in the HS team still have their job left?
This is almost good enough for constructed but it will not see mainstream play.
However this card has a huge redeeming quality that most people seem to forget : it's a 2 drop that can be game changing in the lategame.
In the early game this is no big deal, basically a 3/2 then maybe heals you for 2 if you consider that your opponent is forced to trade.
But most 2 drops are utter garbage in the lategame, while this is not. A taunt can always swing the game by saving you from a huge minion attack giving you the one turn needed to heal or finish your opponent.
Because it is an okay 2 drop that is useful lategame it is a very good arena card. 2 drops are a must have in arena to fight the tempo meta, and taunts are very valuable in the mid/lategame. The fact that it is common and part of the latest set will make it have a good impact in arena.
It is also a very good drop from Piloted Shredder because he can then protect your more valuable minions.
WIthout reading any comments, I'm calling, 'Bad,' on this one. 2 Health on a Taunt?! 2 Health doesn't mean diddly in the meta we've got going right now. I wouldn't bother to throw him in any of my decks. Maybe my fun Warrior Taunt deck.
Edit: Why the heck are people continually saying, 'power creep,'?! That would indicate that those individuals think that not only are Thespian's stats better than any similar minion that's come before it, but that this card is good enough to warp the entire meta around it because of how strong it is, changing how future 2 mana Taunt minions are created by Blizzard. I'd love for someone to refresh my memory; what 3/2 Taunting minion for 2 has overpowered the meta? Are you guys actually stating that Frostwolf Grunt was so strong that this card replaces its place in the meta? Because I haven't run into a single person not rank 25 running Grunt.
Decent. Not very exciting, but hey it's a common!
This is the card ladies and gentlemen that can make a whole community frustered.

Meant to compete against Alexstrasza's Champion. Nothing special, move along. Not every card has to be mind-blowing.
A buff to Piloted Shredder I guess..
Bad card.. but I guess bad cards need to exist so good ones exist.. half of LOE is really bad but the good half is really awesome.

I like it. Short, simple, and kills a Tunnel Trogg without fail. I can dig it.

The haters obviously don't understand how amazing design this card represents.
3... attack.
2... health.
But wait, that's not all.
Taunt.
Wow.
Warrior, the class with the most taunt synergy, already doesn't play a better version of this.
...So...
I'd expect more interesting cards from an adventure. Boring.
