This has more stats than a normal 2/2 Kobold Geomancer, of course if you happen to keep this in your hand, then this is a 4/1, which is extremely weak to pings... Then on turn 3 this is your friendly Dalaran Mage, at the user above me mentioned.
In my warlock decks I would prefer the Tainted Zealots/Bloodmage Thalnos, this minion however could be used in an aggressive deck, but for now I am kinda pessimisitc about it.
2 mana 1/4 with Spell Damage +1 is pretty decent as a budget Bloodmage Thalnos and might actually see play. 2 mana 4/1 with Spell Damage +1 however isn't playable.

I mean, can you even call this powercreep? It's not always gonna be a 1/4, and you almost never would rather play it as a 4/1, so it's more of a downside.
EDIT: Oops, didn't even realize Dalaran costs 3 mana. This is definitely powercreep then.
I don’t understand why Blizz can’t see that nobody cares about spell power minions with no additional effect. Every expansion there’s another useless spell power minion that won’t be played, whether it suddenly has a bit more health or stealth or whatever. Even zealot was only played for defile synergy and that one +2 sp kobold only showed up in fringe combo decks.. Everyone loved Thalnos and Azure Drake but these cards are not impactful enough.
Am i the only one that dont like the swap attack and health mechanic? It is not interesting, and who wants to play this card as 4/1 minion with spell damage?

Bad and boring.

pass... pack filler
Pack Filler - Check
Meh. Not great.
I wasn't planning on going for a run today. But those cops came out of nowhere.
2 manas 1/4 + spell damage is good, for rogues and mages a least.
4/1 for 2 manas + spell damage is good vs priests or if opponent don't have ping hero powers and already have a 4/4 in board.
Nothing game changer but this card is ok for the cost.
crap
They need to print cards that actually interact with spell power. As is, it’s such a bad ability.
Further evidence that Worgen suck in every possible way. This would have been a good card if it didn't flip-flop.

can be good with Warpath but still idk how i feel for this card
Vex Crow synergy. The Spell damage is fitting.
I feel sorry for people who have brought this expansion already. Dog said on stream last night that he wants a refund lol
People always complain. Make up your minds, is power creep good or bad?

pretty sure this one is just a pack filler though. lol
Rumors are carried by haters, spread by fools, and accepted by idiots.
This swap mechanic is dumb and going to be annoying to play with. Bad bad bad design.
It's like they wanted to make something even worse than Joust was.
