So this little guy has become an auto inclusion in almost all aggro decks, and for a very good reason: he makes it so your 1 mana guys/tokens trade for bigger drops while also putting 2/1 body on a field, and that's just for 1 mana. With cards like Argent Squire, Possessed Villager and all the token spam (we thought there would be less tokens thanks to Standard but here we are) it's a ridiculous card really. I believe he is one of the reasons aggro is that strong right now. He's better than the old Leper Gnome pre-nerf and has absolutely no downsides. Sure, 2/1 body is weak but we're talking 1 mana put 2/1 on board, make your 1/1 trade into 3/3. And with a card like Power Overwhelming you can pump your 1/1 into 7 attack monster. For.2.Mana.
People cry about aggro, and as Kripp mentioned, 1 mana drops are a very good part of the reason why aggro is prevalent. Squires and Villagers are fine, but what makes them so good is this little guy: Abusive Sergeant. Not him only of course, but he is a neutral card and having him in your hand vs not having him in the early game can be game-deciding.
I do think this card is pretty crazy but I think before Blizzard nerfs Abusive they should nerf: PO and sticky 1 mana minions. Cards Like Possesed Villager and Imp Gang Boss are just a pain in the ass to play against and it makes cards like Power Overwhelming 1 mana deal 4 damage which is absouletly crazy.
I kinda agree. It's hard to nerf 1-drops without making them useless, though. But with this one, I think it could be changed to either a 1/1 with the same battlecry or change the battlecry to +1 attack. Maybe then cards like Lance Carrier and Dark Iron Dwarf would see more play.
Don't nerf ANY card but release more and more and more cards. Imagine if they nerfed epicstorm, landstill, RDW and every single deck that is semi-succesful in magic the gathering lol....

In magic ALL cards rotate out of standard at some piont. To strong basic cards will allway stay in standart in Hearthstone.

So what do you think?
Paper is fine, nerf Rock. Sincerely, Scissors.
As long as there's a 4 mana 7-7, he's fine
One of the few interesting 1-drops. Cool card.

It hasn't become, it's always been.

the nerf is really simple make it a 2 drop
Whatever, I barely use him, nerfing it would slow down some decks on some points in a match.
It used to permanently give +2 Attack, but was nerfed. Can you imagine?
the stats differ from lance carrier
Better than pre-nerf Leper Gnome. It should give +1 atk. If they want +2 atk let them use Dark Iron Dwarf.
I dont mind them nerfing it like leper gnome or increasing mana cost by 1.

Don't feed the troll

Both if I remember it correctly

The main problem is that it buffs, then makes a decent trade. Should be a 1/1, not 2/1
