What's wrong with silver bullets? Silver bullets are essential to a healthy meta. You need these "safety valves" so that if the meta skews too far in one direction or another, players can use these otherwise inefficient cards to gain an advantage for understanding that meta. And if the meta changes, they'll stop using these cards, and so on and so on. There's TONS of this stuff in Magic on a scale that makes this look wimpy.
I can't agree more, they release this kind of stuff too late, if eater of secrets release in the same expansion MC we don't have so many problems with secret paladin and if this minion release in MSoG pirate warrior be in check for overuse...
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK! We got [card]Toxic Sewer Ooze[/card] in the expansion where everything goes weapon and face, But we get this NOW when clearly Tar Creeper into Tol'vir Stoneshaper is gonna stop this shit. WTF. The ooze is so fucking bad, why was it even considered a card worth making 4 months ago? What are they smoking when making these cards? Or is this like a response to the backlash they got after STB? Like: Ohoh, People are made about weapons, better make some op weapon removal card quickly.
Edit: Also "Power creep" Bingo!
This is not power creep at all. Power creep is Huge Toad and Bloodfen Raptor. Toxic Sewer Ooze has an additional 1 Attack over this, making it much better in matchups with non-weapon classes. Especially Priest.
In all honestly I like this card and I'm glad it exists since it gives such a good counter to aggro weapon-based decks. Against other weapon decks Acidic Swamp Ooze is probly better given that it's cheaper or Harrison Jones is better because of the card draw. But the powercreep in this set does make me concerned...
Aggro should be a choice you can make when looking at the meta, not a catch-all deck you choose because "no matter what my opponent draws or puts in their deck, I'll win 65% of the time anyway."
By the time you would want to play Acidic Swamp Ooze, you can definitely afford an extra mana for that armor. Even 1 armor from Atiesh is acceptable! The new go-to weapon tech card unless you want the card draw from Harrison Jones.
No reason NOT to run this in every deck. Weapons are everywhere these days. Sick card.
Sthe reason for it to not be included in every deck is if it is that good the aggro warrior will become much less common. Then this is a bad card as it is worse than acidic swamp ooze in most situations and terrible against a non weapon deck.
The only decks where I see this being really good are aggro upgrade warrior (against other weapon decks the armour is far less significant due to lower attack and less critical timing for survival) or if another aggro weapon decks get so bad you want 4 weapon counters. Otherwise just use acidic swamp ooze.
But that is a great tech card, good enough against the specific target to get included when they are common without crippling you in other matches but bad enough that you will pull it if the target is less common. I think this will see play similar to Harrison when things like control warrior with Gorehowl and Reaper were common but against aggro warrior.
As a casual i look for fun decks that have heavy tribe synergies like dragons, totems, and my favorite tribe murloc. I started out playing mid-range hunter and still do from time to time, but has shifted my love over to the least loved class by Blizzard, priest, and this is where i stay hoping for a better priest future.
This is clearly better than Toxic Sewer Ooze in constructed as long as weapon decks stay as strong as they have been. But for arena I am not so sure....
Basically there is a lot more times that your opponent won't have a weapon and then I would rather have the extra one attack so my minion can trade up. The strongest arena decks right now are Mage and Warlock so unless that changes with Un'goro I don't see myself picking this in arena over Toxic Sewer Ooze.
I might be missing your point, but since Toxic Sewer Ooze is common and Gluttonous Ooze is epic, you will never be in a situation where you have to choose between the two of them anyway.
Thanks for the armor so sad for your weapon. they need to make other oozes that have buff effects for destroying something, (gain attack or health, or copying an effect)

Anyone saying this kills pwarrior is clueless... good card though
GOOOD BYE PIRATE WARRIOR. GOOD FOKING BYE
Awesome card!
Renounce Darkness
completley true good card against PW and maybe shaman but they have enough good tech cards in this expansion
it will see play im sure but not auto include like ooze those days
3.2.1 kill shot
This cards is great. But I think pirate warrior still good, and the meta not will "slow down". Zoo and Hunter will be the new aggros.
What a beautifully overpowered card. RIP Toxic Sewer Ooze. ;)

I love that art.
FFS, decent anti-aggro cards is not power creep.
Aggro should be a choice you can make when looking at the meta, not a catch-all deck you choose because "no matter what my opponent draws or puts in their deck, I'll win 65% of the time anyway."
Would you have a moment to discuss about the disarmingly almighty Gluttonous Ooze ? ^^
"What have you got there,
PinocchioMalygos?"you'd probably only run gluttonous ooze and harrison jones. No need to run acidic against non weapon decks
Well it just threw the other 3 cost ooze they made in the garbage.
If you want real hard tech against weapons, Instead of running 2 2-cost oozes, you can run one of each now.
By the time you would want to play Acidic Swamp Ooze, you can definitely afford an extra mana for that armor. Even 1 armor from Atiesh is acceptable! The new go-to weapon tech card unless you want the card draw from Harrison Jones.
Finally Armor for everyone! I love it.

Powercreep much?
