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.
This doesn't look like the result of testing. It looks like what they were sure would result in it not appearing in every aggro mid-range deck.
Bombed this card. Will still see play, thinking it's reduction in hunter will still make it a useable card, 0 cost 2/5 beast synergy may still have some power, if not right now then potentially coming up.
I bet it'll be a one-of in hunter decks now. Is including two of those good for a hunter deck? I don't think so, and it certainly is trash in any other deck
Evolve Shaman will still use this...and I'M fairly certain any swarm decks with buffs will as well (aka, Druid and Hunter can make great use out of it. the other day I got a 0-cost Creeper and was ale to play it with Houndmaster on turn 4. Pretty sick turn it was, and it would still work now, albeit weaker)
Pretty sure Tempo rogue and Zoolock might drop it though
The card is still ok for hunter i think, im pretty fine with the nerfs they made im only a bit afraid about cubelock didnt get any nerfs while they demolished all counterplay to it.
Completely fine with them killing the card. The more minion based matchups were based solely on who had Corridor Creeper in his hand when trades were being made.
inb4 I kinda agree this card needed a nerf - it is a big hit I don't want to hide. But this card was put in every aggro and tempo deck, I even found a nice place in control decks too. So this card was an auto include, thus a change was needed.
Headshot.
Release the Kraken!
It should have been a hunter card in the first place honestly not a neutral card
It will still see some play but it is a huge hit. Could had be done better.....

IMO this card just got absolutely trashed, now even for 0 mana it won't make huge impact on board.
But I'm really happy about it.
Ered'achor! Havik! Galar!
Will still see play in druid and shaman decks and some more fringe hunter and priest decks. This isn't an overnerf.

I tried having fun once. It was awful.
bad card now it be more balance if it was 3/5 but 2/5 for 7 cost(cheaper if other minion dies while hand) not worth it.
They should rename the card to Carrion Creeper.
Finally! Now the meme phrase will cease to echo!
So you thought only Mage had an exodia combo eh
Oh and by the way I need to change my signature! Any suggestions?

Holy shit this card has been destroyed :( A shame to see it go completely
I don't like Corridor Creeper but this nerf is too much, I think it will never see play again

800 dust.

Still usable on shaman and maybe hunter, so it's not an autoinclude in everydeck
