This is totally a buff - now you can replace it when your board is full by killing one off and playing a new minion.

Personally, I don't see it much different than Equality + Consecration. 6 mana to pretty much kill all enemy minions, though Defile + Dreadsteed would get the job done completely every time. In a class with Twisting Nether and DOOM!, is that really a problem?

I think it's a dumb nerf, but I'm glad they're making changes to Wild cards. I don't really like this change, though.

As long we get full refund i'm happy

i see a lot of suggestions in here that are WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better than what blizzar dis doing

1. Make Dreadsteed a 1/2

2. Make defile only recast if it kills enemy minions

3, Make deathrattles check if there are no unresolved effects before happening, that way effects resolve first and then Deathrattle happens

 4. Ban Defile in Wild, honestly Pokemon and mtg ban cards in their "Wild" modes before they even come out, hell yugioh doesn't even have a rotation and they still ban cards before they even come out so that people can play them in their kitchen table casual and friend games (sixth sense)...it's a great way to avoid infinite loops, and still allow standard players to play with the card.

I thought for a long time players have been complaining that hs doesn't take advantage of the digital format to change old cards. Now they finally do it and what happens? Bunch of fringe dreadsteed players come out of the woodworks to whine. Sometimes I'm surprised blizzard tries as hard as they do when the community is like this

 Dr. Boom is fine. he would be balanced in current day Standard. Mad Scientist is fine. and Shredder doesnt need a nerf. not even every deck runs it anymore, same with Boom

Dr. Boom still better than all 7+ mana minions (synergies aside), Piloted Shredder is still better than all other 4 drops (again synergies aside). They may not be played much because there are very few Spike players in Wild. They would be still nearly auto-include in all decks if they stayed in standard.

Mad Scientist is not fine at all. Arcanologist is very OP but still much weaker than mad scientist. 

These cards+Reno Jackson+Ship's Cannon are the reasons why wild is an imbalanced mess.

It does matter sometimes such as if you want to hit for 1dmg then buff your dreadsteed or eat it with many of the warlock card

e.g. Hit for 1 dmg then cast power overwhelming + shadow flame.

also its value in some brawls will be greatly diminished 

I oppose this nerf. Its my favourite card.

I had a golden dreadsteed, never thought It would get nerfef feelsbadman.  Couldn't Blizzard have just changed the interaction? I loved dreadsteeds effect!

Well, I never bothered crafting Dreadsteed, but it looked like a fun card. Now that I know that it's getting nerfed, I can craft it, play it until the nerf and disenchant without losing anything.

First wild nerf, I hope shredder, mad scientist and dr. boom follows it.

I hate that they've done this. To me this is just sheer laziness to not find another solution. They could have easily just given it a special interaction with Dreadsteed that only damages the Dreadsteed once.

Quote from Gosphor >>

Better fix: Make deathrattle trigger at the end of the cycle.

Option 2: Make Dreadsteed 2 freaking mana due to lost combo potential.

This nerf is total fucking garbage, because of the reason they're doing it and because Wild was advertised as a place where anything can happen. It was stated by the development team that a hard cap would be set for Grim Patron. Fuck this nerf. They advertised the Wild format as a place where anything can happen, then they nerf a card that is only playable in Wild. Blizzard keeps doing damage to their consumer trust. Advertise that Wild is a place where anything can happen, then tear that illusion to shreds. Tell people their Classic cards will always be part of the Standard format, then move cards to Wild.

A Reddit link with no mention anywhere that I can tell of the statement made by the devs.

I was thinking about Defile and how could Dreadsteed's deathrattle activate before the Defile's effect ends. And I thought, Defile might just add a hiden deathrattle to everyone onboard that reads "If the last action was Defile, cast Defile [, unles we are casting Defile for N times in a row already]". What do you think?
