Even if that was like you said, Warrior already has Fierce Monkey, which trades much better as a 3-drop despite having the same amount of stats. So Hired Gun wouldn't be used even in a dubious Warrior Taunt archetype.
Okay, I think the theme of this expansion besides new factions is that Blizzard is trying to make less innately OP cards. Is Hired Gun great? Not really, but the attack is high enough so that it'll deal a good amount of damage and pretty much kill whatever minion attacks it.
terrible mediocre card. already regreting pre ordering the packs...but o well....I collect cards.
Every expansion has simple taunt minions. Every single one. Adventures (usually) do not, because they have fewer cards and need to be higher impact.
If you want only cards with zing, you should buy only adventures, not expansions. But either way, cards like this should not be a surprise, and they are not going to stop happening.

New Evil Heckler.
Hopefully the sound sample is as good.
I don't see the point; Senjin Shieldmasta already does this and better
Well, it kills Totem golems and 3/4's (Which we see a couple from this expansion). But risks being removed easily from spells or weapons.
Okay in arena, terrible everywhere else. Even if Taunt warrior becomes a thing, I don't think they'll be able to use this guy.
Facepalm
I bet this is that card you get 5+ times from the 50 pack booster. Gonna hold of on that pre-purchase for now
Maybe good for taunt warrior?
Dust it!
alright for arena. it sucks that it can die to a 2 cost 3 attack minion but it might also force a 4 cost minion to trade into it.
For similar effects release more spells a least, Reno decks will needed... -_-
Can't they save boring crap like this for the card dump?
A) This card exists to make I Know a Guy have less strict value.
B) It still curves out nicely. I Know a Guy into Stolen Goods into Hired Gun will work out just fine.

Where are my Jade Lotus at? Enough with these goons! Give me some Ninja /Assasin guys !
It is just Reversed Fierce Monkey
Fierce Monkey is better because at 4-health, it can AT LEAST take out 2 minions.
Maybe Fierce Monkey is Warrior card only,
This set's pompous thespian.

Nice to have a choice.
