THis is what I was thinking; a paladin or shaman gets a 5-health body on the board which needs to be respected because it can be buffed or evolved. It also can be a target for Houndmaster or even the nerfed BoneMare.
I think it will play, but be a bit niche-y.
In most Paladin decks I suspect Cobalt Scalebane is an easy replacement. Costlier, sure, but 5/5 with the bonus effect each turn.
I'm assuming they did testing to find that 2/5 was the best nerf... so how did they release the card originally at 5/5? The fact they they were so far off makes me a little skeptical of how well they are predicting the meta in their internal testing.
I wonder the same thing...
And doesn't this nerf change the soul of the card? :P

I'm imagining dropping this turn 6-8 and adding a Spikeridged Steed the same turn. Still NOWHERE near as good as it was. Just wondering if something that makes it (niche) playable...?

I think so, in the right deck. It's not great, but playable.
It's also a cheap high-cost minion for evolve shaman if you're still deluded into thinking that a workable archetype.
As paladin main I might sitll use Corridor Creeper in my buff/controldecks because now he can be a 4/11 on turn6 which makes it much better against priest but lets see if priest will be still good enough to be a threat
I seriously doubt it will ever see play again. Anyone who tries to continue playing it will immediately take it out of their deck and dust it the first time they topdeck it lategame and have to play a 7 mana 2/5.
I seriously hope this card will be the last of its kind, free minions with strong stats and little to no drawback is dumb.
This. The nerf is fully deserved. Cards with potentially zero cost are always either broken (prenerf Corridor Creeper) or unplayable in Standard/Arena-only (Nerubian Prophet). Hopefully they learned from it.
Nah, this one is straight up murder.

Renounce Darkness
I'm so glad I can just disenchant this and never have to worry about it again.
Good job Blizzard.
I hope I will get more CCs from the HCT packs... I will keep one because Evolve and Unstable Evolution

i would recomond that they also add a taunt on this card to be play-able but other then that this card are trash now

i like the idea of this "As paladin main I might sitll use Corridor Creeper in my buff/controldecks because now he can be a 4/11 on turn6 "
but i think even with the nerf on the raza hero power cost ,priest well still be on play .

Card was standard at best. Now it is barely passable.
