Needs hero attack-value synergies to be good, just like Bite, and there aren't enough of those at the moment. So for now it's a really shitty version of Bash.
2: claw was bad by virtue of 1 drops being massively overpowered throghout the history of the game
3. Bash saw play.
and anyways druid is doing nothing n particular in turn 3, 3 health is an important number and the armor grants survability, this is a really good card, people that are saying that this is bad are the same that believed that 4 minions caverns below was bad a.k.a complete idiots.
There are a lot of 3 health minions in the game that need to be removed at the moment, most notably Flametongue Totem and Mana Tide Totem.
Now, I don't know about you, but in my games I will see Druids spend an arm and a leg to never deal 3 damage when they cast Wrath. They are devoted to drawing that card off of Wrath.
As for whether this card sees play over Feral Rage, I think it's strictly better if Pirate Warrior is no longer meta. You won't need the 8 armor option as often and gaining 3 armor is well worth losing one damage. Bash saw plenty of play after all, and that was in a class that had 2 of Fiery War Axe.
It's also possible this card has been printed to replace Wrath entirely and allow druids to run Prince Keleseth.
Lol.
This is literally just Claw + Shapeshift. It's the same stats, the same effect, and the same mana cost. This card brings absolutely nothing new to Druid, at all. No new capability. No new synergy.
It's not the same thing as Claw + Shapeshift. You can Shapeshift with Gnash to get a Bite for 5 if you prefer. 3 damage for 3 is better than 2 damage for 2 or 4 damage for 4 though. (Jade Lightning is just cancer because it has summon effects, surprise).

As a pretty much only-Druid player, I don't see the value in this and would never run it. You'd run Feral Rage over it, or Tar Creeper / Stonehill if you wanted a 3 drop desperately. 3 mana never feels like that big a deal in Druid outside of Jade anyway, you ramp out of it all as quick as possible.
Won't see play, though of course me disagreeing with you makes me a "complete idiot" ...
Why would anyone run Gnash to get Bite for 5? That makes no sense at all. Even if Bite was valued, and not completely absent from play, as it has always been, no one is running Gnash to get more expensive access to Bite. That's never going to happen, just like Gnash is never going to replace Wrath. Are you even reading what you're typing?

Bash saw play because Warriors have Shield Slam. Druid has nothing that interacts with its armor.
bite at 4/4 never saw any play so by that reasoning this card should also not see play. It's not terrible but it probably won't be good enough to be played competitively.

by that reasoning yes, but that reasoning may be flawed. there is a difference between the three mana slot and the four mana slot. Bite competes with Swipe for the four mana spot, while Gnash on curve could be followed by Swipe on curve. Bite on turn four would also be too late to preemptively counter cards like Houndmaster or Gentle Megasaur , so i think Gnash is in a much better spot than Bite. not sure if it will see a lot of play, but it has potential i guess.

Not strictly worse than Bash, this could kill a Faerie Dragon or Bearshark.
...not that it ever will outside of arena.

this is actually pretty decent,
1. bite came at a really key turn
2: claw was bad by virtue of 1 drops being massively overpowered throghout the history of the game

This card is basically Druid's new hero power with Fandral.

Cheaper Bite it's ok

These types of cards get better with Malfurion the Pestilent's Hero power.

i'm not sure why people think this is a bad card. +3 attack and +3 armor doesn't sound too bad to me lol
not a terrible card in arena.
However bit underwhelming in constructive, but i think people are over exaggerating how horrible this card is.
3 Armour and 3 attack is ok for a 3 cost card. Worse than Bash , but still ok enough to see play in arena.
Feral Rage is obviously the better 3 cost removal option.
It competes against feral rage, I and feral rage it's better.
My magic will tear you apart!
Stop comparing to Bash, Gnash is not a Warrior card.
But it's not very good, is it?
