Think most are forgetting the plethora of Warrior cards (we even have an echo one spoiled today!) that will enrage this automatically and thus a 4/2 rush for 2.
I really hate that Blizzard removed Enrage... Much easier then the wall of text they present now.
Seams like a good combo with Inner Rage to remove big minions
"wall of text". It's like 1 and a half lines dude get a grip
Yah wall of text!! It might not be a big deal with a card like this, but more elaborate cards like Spiteful Smith becomes a pain it the ass due to the change. The whole idea with a keyword is to make it easy to read cards effect. Imagine if they changed Battlecry to "When this minion is played", this would make some Battlecry minions a mess to read. Blizzard dropped the ball on this one, they could have made Enrage a good keyword for Warrior as it has a lot of tools for supporting it in basic + classic. this would give a depth to warrior where minion management and trading both for yourself and the opponent becomes a important part. Now they are trashing what could have been great.
It's more versatile than that, since you don't always play it on turn 2. For example if you have Blood Razor equipped, you can play this minion, use the deathrattle from the weapon, activate its "enrage" and kill a 5-health minion with it (4 from the wasp and 1 from the deathrattle). And sure, Execute does that more reliably, but you can only have two copies of Execute in your deck and if you're expecting bigger enemy minions later in the game, you'll want to preserve those.

I had no idea they removed the Enrage keyword ... makes zero sense to do that. My first thought on reading this card's text was "why doesn't it just say Enrage??"
When did they remove it?

Card could easily be borderline meta-defining.

Sorry for language, just a little enraged by this travesty
Huge wall of text there..... lol
So if I heal it, its attack goes back to 1?
For the love of all things good don't change the name.
This would have made a good hunter card
Pretty weak...
Deal 4 damage with a combo piece? Use Heroic Strike instead of two cards/extra mana
Deal 1 damage? Ironforge Rifleman is (arguably) better
Should have been printed with MSG and hand buff, might have had /some/ promise.

so basically enrage card? oh wait....xD
but I must say, nice name for this card. lol, but tbh there's nothing 'fluffy' about wasps. :D
Rumors are carried by haters, spread by fools, and accepted by idiots.
Maybe some use in a new Tempo Warrior? Turn 1 Animated Berserker, turn 2 Wasp.
I could see this having some nice synergy with Frothing Berserker. Maybe arena tier, but it's never bad to see tempo warrior pick up some new tools.
Arena card, in constructed it will never see play.
Maybe... nah nah nah nah
Let me try that again.
Seems just OK vs Aggro and worthless vs. everything else. I don't think we will see this much, unless Rush gets some crazy support cards.
